It implies that they have souls, but it does not say they >have souls. And it is not given that the quote above is given a high >priority in all interpretations. One must approach the Qur'an with intelligence. Any thinking approach to the Qur'an cannot but interpret the above verse and others like it that women and men are spiritual equals. I think that the above verse does clearly imply that women have souls. Does it make any sense for something without a soul to be forgiven? Or to have a great reward (understood to be in the after-life)? I think the usual answer would be no -- in which case, the part saying "For them has God prepared forgiveness and a great reward" says they have souls. (If it makes sense to say that things without souls can be forgiven, then I have no idea _what_ a soul is.) As for your saying that the quote above may not be given a high priority in all interpretations, any thinking approach to the Qur'an has to give all verses of the Qur'an equal priority. That is because, according to Muslim belief, the _whole_ Qur'an is the revelation of God -- in fact, denying the truth of any part of the Qur'an is sufficient to be considered a disbeliever in Islam. >Quite similar to you other post, even when the Quran does not encourage >slavery, it is not justified to say that iit forbids or puts an end to >slavery. It is a non sequitur. Look, any approach to the Qur'an must be done with intelligence and thought. It is in this fashion that one can try to understand the Quran's message. In a book of finite length, it cannot explicitly answer every question you want to put to it, but through its teachings it can guide you. I think, however, that women are the spiritual equals of men is clearly and unambiguously implied in the above verse, and that since women can clearly be "forgiven" and "rewarded" they _must_ have souls (from the above verse). Let's try to understand what the Qur'an is trying to teach, rather than try to see how many ways it can be misinterpreted by ignoring this passage or that passage. The misinterpretations of the Qur'an based on ignoring this verse or that verse are infinite, but the interpretations fully consistent are more limited. Let's try to discuss these interpretations consistent with the text rather than how people can ignore this bit or that bit, for that is just showing how people can try to twist Islam for their own ends -- something I do not deny -- but provides no reflection on the true teachings of Islam whatsoever.

SEI Level 5 (the highest level -- the SEI stands for Software Engineering Institute). I'm not sure, but I believe that this rating only applies to the flight software. Also keep in mind that it was *not* achieved through the use of sophisticated tools, but rather through a 'brute force and ignorance' attack on the problem during the Challenger standdown - they simply threw hundreds of people at it and did the whole process by hand. I would not consider receiving a 'Warning' status on systems which are not yet in use would detract much (if anything) from such a rating -- I'll have to get the latest copy of the guidelines to make sure (they just issued new ones, I think). Also keep in mind that the SEI levels are concerned primarily with control of the software process; the assumption is that a well controlled process will produce good software. Also keep in mind that SEI Level 5 is DAMNED HARD. Most software in this country is produced by 'engineering practicies' that only rate an SEI Level 1 (if that). -- "Insisting on perfect safety is for people who don't have the balls to live in the real world." -- Mary Shafer, NASA Ames Dryden ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fred.McCall@dseg.ti.com - I don't speak for others and they don't speak for me.

I agree there may be other villages where the civilian population has deserted because it is too close to Israeli lines and thus gets bombed more often. In such villages often the only remaining inhabitants are guerillas and some elderly who have nowhere else to go. But for the most part the typical South Lebanon village is more like mine. One where civilians and guerillas live together. They are often inhabiting the same house. Many families are large, some have members of the families involved in Hizollah, most others are not. That is what is so hard of South Lebanon, Israel is not fighting an army with well drawn battle lines, but a guerilla tyoe resistance which by definition and necessity blends with the local populace. Not because they are evil cowards that use women and children as shields, but because that is the only way one can fight a more powerful better equipped occupying army. |> Some of the villages, and yours might well be among them, are as you |> describe.

Sometimes Israel chooses its targets carefully.

On several occasions Israel retalliated against civilian refugee camps, even in North Lebanon, just to show that it will not sit idly after its soldiers have been attacked. Most of the time it directs the SLA to do the dirty work and indiscriminately shell some Lebanese villages on the other side. I have experienced this shelling myself on several occasions, this is why the SLA militia is sometimes even more despised than Israeli troops. | |> Well, here we disagree.

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

In normal condition, the concentration of glutamate in the cerebrospinal fluid is about 2 uM that is high enough to activate one type of glutamate receptor-the NMDA receptor. But the question is Neuron and glial cell in the brain have a lots of transport to get glutamate into Neuron or glial. So no one know exact concentration of glutamate is around neurons. Glutamate is most important neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is involved in not only in daily life like the controling of movement, it is alsoinvolved in develpoment, memory and learn (it is involved in Logn-term potentialtion that be thought is the basis of learning).

Organization: Penn State University From: <JER114@psuvm.psu.edu> Subject: scanned grey to color equations? Lines: 7 A while back someone had several equations which could be used for changing 3 f iltered grey scale images into one true color image. This is possible because it's the same theory used by most color scanners. I am not looking for the obv ious solution which is to buy a color scanner but what I do need is those equat ions becasue I am starting to write software which will automate the conversion process. I would really appreciate it if someone would repost the 3 equations /3 unknowns. Thanks for the help!!!

OK, I've asked this before, and with a new thread on these lines, I ask this again: 1: If a large hole current is run thru a resistor, will there be I^2 * R cooling instead of heating? 2: Can anyone design an amplifier that preferentially amplifies hole currents over normal electron currents? 3: what semiconductor materials have the highest ratio of hole mobility to electron mobility? (please quote actual test samples rather than estimates based on theory. Also, don't be limited to semiconductors: consider also insulators, resistors, dielectrics, piezo-electrics, conductors, magnets (metal, ceramic), magnetostrictives, etc). NOTES: to summarize, this thread has so far stated that the only area where holes are not detectable is the vacuum. That is, hole particles only exist in the presence of matter. Previous threads have stated that holes only exist in certain semi-conductors. The question that naturally arises is if the hole currents inside a semi-conductor vanish at the point where the semiconductor is joined to a conductor (say, copper). I don't want a theoretical discussion here about whether holes could exist inside metal conductors, rather I ask for an experimental discussion on how to amplify and detect such currents *if* they exist. Also note that I have cross-posted this to sci.electronics since this is now becoming an electronic discussion. Thanx, Eric. ---- ET "A Force of Nature" ----

I have a document which I believe refutes the notion that the SSPX (Society of Saint Pius X) is in schism, or that there has been any legitimate excommunication. If anyone is interested in reading the truth about this matter please email me and I'll send them the document via email. Its 26 pages long, so I wont be posting it on the news group. Its titled NEITHER SCHISMATIC NOR EXCOMMUNICATED This article was originally an English translation, by the Society of Saint Pius X in Ireland, from the French Journal 'Courrier de Rome'. The French article, in its turn, was a translation from the Italian of the Roman Newsletter 'Si Si No No'. This booklet contains the transcription, with some minor editing, of the Irish article, and was transcribed and produced by John Clay, Townsville, Queensland, Australia.

Not exactly the same, but reminiscent of the assassination of Count Bernadotte, who was _the_ UN negotiator during the 1948 Israeli war of independence. He was killed by the Israelis. Seems he was being too successful in negotiating a cease-fire, which would have worked territorially against the nascent Israel, compared to continued war. -- =Jim eggertj@atc.ll.mit.edu (Jim Eggert)

Madness. /* Written 4:34 pm Apr 16, 1993 by cpr@igc.apc.org in igc:mideast.forum */ /* ---------- "From Israeli press. Madness." ---------- */ FROM THE ISRAELI PRESS. Paper: Zman Tel Aviv (Tel Aviv's time). Friday local Tel Aviv's paper, affiliated with Maariv. Date: 19 February 1993 Journalist: Guy Ehrlich Subject: Interview with soldiers who served in the Duvdevan (Cherry) units, which disguise themselves as Arabs and operate within the occupied territories. Excerpts from the article: "A lot has been written about the units who disguise themselves as Arabs, things good and bad, some of the falsehoods. But the most important problem of those units has been hardly dealt with. It is that everyone who serves in the Cherry, after a time goes in one way or another insane". A man who said this, who will here be called Danny (his full name is known to the editors) served in the Cherry. After his discharge from the army he works as delivery boy. His pal, who will here be called Dudu was also serving in the Cherry, and is now about to depart for a round-the-world tour. They both look no different from average Israeli youngsters freshly discharged from conscript service. But in their souls, one can notice something completely different....It was not easy for them to come out with disclosures about what happened to them. And they think that to most of their fellows from the Cherry it woundn't be easy either. Yet after they began to talk, it was nearly impossible to make them stop talking. The following article will contain all the horror stories recounted with an appalling openness. (...) A short time ago I was in command of a veteran team, in which some of the fellows applied for release from the Cherry. We called such soldiers H.I. 'Hit by the Intifada'. Under my command was a soldier who talked to himself non-stop, which is a common phenomenon in the Cherry. I sent him to a psychiatrist. But why I should talk about others when I myself feel quite insane ? On Fridays, when I come home, my parents know I cannot be talked to until I go to the beach, surf a little, calm down and return. The keys of my father's car must be ready for in advance, so that I can go there. I they dare talk to me before, or whenever I don't want them to talk to me, I just grab a chair and smash it instantly. I know it is my nerve: Smashing chairs all the time and then running away from home, to the car and to the beach. Only there I become normal.(...) (...) Another friday I was eating a lunch prepared by my mother. It was an omelette of sorts. She took the risk of sitting next to me and talking to me. I then told my mother about an event which was still fresh in my mind. I told her how I shot an Arab, and how exactly his wound looked like when I went to inspect it. She began to laugh hysterically. I wanted her to cry, and she dared laugh straight in my face instead ! So I told her how my pal had made a mincemeat of the two Arabs who were preparing the Molotov cocktails. He shot them down, hitting them beautifully, exactly as they deserved. One bullet had set a Molotov cocktail on fire, with the effect that the Arab was burning all over, just beautifully. I was delighted to see it. My pal fired three bullets, two at the Arab with the Molotov cocktail, and the third at his chum. It hit him straight in his ass. We both felt that we'd pulled off something. Next I told my mother how another pal of mine split open the guts in the belly of another Arab and how all of us ran toward that spot to take a look. I reached the spot first. And then that Arab, blood gushing forth from his body, spits at me. I yelled: 'Shut up' and he dared talk back to me in Hebrew! So I just laughed straight in his face. I am usually laughing when I stare at something convulsing right before my eyes. Then I told him: 'All right, wait a moment'. I left him in order to take a look at another wounded Arab. I asked a soldier if that Arab could be saved, if the bleeding from his artery could be stopped with the help of a stone of something else like that. I keep telling all this to my mother, with details, and she keeps laughing straight into my face. This infuriated me. I got very angry, because I felt I was becoming mad. So I stopped eating, seized the plate with he omelette and some trimmings still on, and at once threw it over her head. Only then she stopped laughing. At first she didn't know what to say. (...) But I must tell you of a still other madness which falls upon us frequently. I went with a friend to practice shooting on a field. A gull appeared right in the middle of the field. My friend shot it at once. Then we noticed four deer standing high up on the hill above us. My friend at once aimed at one of them and shot it. We enjoyed the sight of it falling down the rock. We shot down two deer more and went to take a look. When we climbed the rocks we saw a young deer, badly wounded by our bullet, but still trying to such some milk from its already dead mother. We carefully inspected two paths, covered by blood and chunks of torn flesh of the two deer we had hit. We were just delighted by that sight. We had hit'em so good ! Then we decided to kill the young deer too, so as spare it further suffering. I approached, took out my revolver and shot him in the head several times from a very short distance. When you shoot straight at the head you actually see the bullets sinking in. But my fifth bullet made its brains fall outside onto the ground, with the effect of splattering lots of blood straight on us. This made us feel cured of the spurt of our madness. Standing there soaked with blood, we felt we were like beasts of prey. We couldn't explain what had happened to us. We were almost in tears while walking down from that hill, and we felt the whole day very badly. (...) We always go back to places we carried out assignments in. This is why we can see them. When you see a guy you disabled, may be for the rest of his life, you feel you got power. You feel Godlike of sorts." (...) Both Danny and Dudu contemplate at least at this moment studying the acting. Dudu is not willing to work in any security-linked occupation. Danny feels the exact opposite. 'Why shouldn't I take advantage of the skills I have mastered so well ? Why shouldn't I earn $3.000 for each chopped head I would deliver while being a mercenary in South Africa ? This kind of job suits me perfectly. I have no human emotions any more. If I get a reasonable salary I will have no problem to board a plane to Bosnia in order to fight there."

I can just see it. You need to slow >down on a downgrade, so you hit the push to talk button. Now, that indeed is possible. A good friend of mine is running about 1 KW PeP from his car. Yes, he does have a second alternator. Yes, he calls the rig an "electronic brake" since the engine noticeably slows when the key is down. My car, unfortunately, has so much computer junk under the hood that it's astonishingly sensitive to RFI. If I key a 2W HT over the engine with the hood open, the car loses timing due to the RF leaking into the distributor pickup. Very poor design. I will, however, point out that ham radio operators are usually quite willing to help when interference is detected. Remember that any interference is wasted power; if I put out 1W in the TV band, that's 1W that I am not putting out in the band I am trying to transmit on, and 1W can often be the difference between a nice card hanging on the wall, and nothing. CBers, however, are usually not as helpful. Most illegal CBers, however, will stop operation when you inform them of a problem. The rest of them will stop operation when you inform the local FCC office of the problem (in writing, and giving details and addresses). >Last, you can usually tell ham radio vs. CB.

Here's the deal: You email (preferably) or post your predictions, AND the number of games you think each series will go. Each round will be weighted, so that the Stanley Cup finals will be very important, but the early rounds will still be important. Here is the scoring: Pick 1st round winner, way off on games: 2 points Pick 1st round winner, within one game: 3 points Pick 1st round winner, pick # of games: 5 points Pick 2nd round winner, way off on games: 3 points Pick 2nd round winner, within one game: 4 points Pick 2nd round winner, pick # of games: 6 points Pick conference champ, way off on games: 5 points Pick conference champ, within one game: 6 points Pick conference champ, pick # of games: 9 points Pick Stanley Cup champ, way off on games: 8 points Pick Stanley Cup champ, within one game: 10 points Pick Stanley Cup champ, pick # of games: 14 points Pick loser in 7, series goes 7: 2 points Pick loser in 7, series decided in Game 7, OT: 4 points (these last two are sympathy points, probably won't happen anyway) Obviously, picking the Stanley Cup champion is important. I will do some tests to see if the format is fair, but probably I will be too lazy to modify it, so the scoring will probably be like this.

The league format we use here is incompatible with that in Europe. (for those that don't know, the best teams from lower divisions get promoted and the worst get demoted). Would European fans put up with our "if you've paid, you can play" attitude?? How long would they support teams that are run on Ranger-based corporate thinking (I use the term lightly). (We don't need a good product because these duffuses in NYC would fill the arena for Ottawa's record every year......1940!! haha (sorry, had ta say it)). If hockey (and other pro sports) had a similar system to Europe, maybe teams like the Rangers would be forced to compete (or get demoted the fourth division). We'd have many more teams...centres that aren't as big (like Halifax or Adirondack....ok, so Halifax isn't a good example) would eventually get promoted, and every team would be somewhat competetive within its own division (unlike Ottawa, SJ, Edmonton, etc.). Fans would eventually get rewarded for their loyalty (or penalized for their neglect), and the league would be more interesting and dynamic every year because of the influx of newly promoted teams (and the Halifax Citadels win the Stanley Cup...I can dream, can't I??) Look at British (or any European) soccer as an example (they never have fan problems).

This way I can get the speed when I want but I can also run at slower (stock) speeds it I experience any compatability problems with any applications.

This would further reduce the wear-and-tear on the CPU even with a heat sink. Of course I would not want to run the different clock signals through the switch but use a chip or two on the board to select the frequency desired and route it directly to the mother board.

Anybody bet me there's another riot? Remember, Iowa law has three guys talking loud defined as a riot.

What about guys like: Nieminen, Jutila, Riihijarvi, Varvio, Laukkanen, Makela, Keskinen and (even if he is aging) Ruotsalainen? The main difference between finnish and North- American players is, that our players tend to be better in the larger rink. The Canadian defenders are usually slower that defenders in Europe. And I think that there was more in our success than Ketterer and luck (though they helped).

In practice, communism has "solved" the problem by killing off anybody who is _too_ productive, and who therefore raises embarrassing questions about why the rest of the group is a bunch of sluggards. The mass butchery of "kulaks" in the USSR is a good instance of this. A poor second best is to have a neighboring capitalist country to which people of politically incorrect skill and ambition flee. I often wonder just what Castro would have done if the Cubans presently in Miami would have been forced to remain in Cuba. Would they have revolted and killed him off, or been killed? Best of all is to build a wall locking the citizens of your country in, load it up so heavily with attack dogs, barbed wire, and land mines that most people fleeing over it die, and then give everyone the choice of obedience, prison, or flight. This would be a bad science-fiction novel, if the East Germans hadn't actually done it. The last person to die crossing the wall, as I recall, was an unarmed woman who was shot in the back. Erich Honecker was going to go on trial for that, but he fled to socialists in Chile. It's good to be kind to one's intellectual opponents, but sometimes it's a sheer waste of time. --Erich Schwarz / schwarze@starbase1.caltech.edu

It seems to replace the factory power antenna and is about a foot long made of plastic tubing. I have seen them on quite a few cars, but I can't find anything more about them in previous r.a.c articles nor in r.a articles. I'd like to know all I can, so any feedback is greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------ "Mom, we're hungry!" - Bud Bundy "Why tell me?" - Peg Bundy Vincent Lai vinlai@cbnewsb.att.com forwards mail to vlai@attmail.com which eventually winds up in wcmnja!lai@somerset.att.com ------------------------------------------------------------------

It has nothing to do with refractive error, however. > > I recall reading/seeing that former baseball star Chris Chambliss' hitting > abilities were (in part) attributed to a combination of left-handedness & > right-eye dominance. I was part of a study a few years ago at the University of Arizona to see whether cross dominant individuals (those with a particular handedness but who had dominance in the opposite eye) were better hitters than those with same side dominance of hand and eye. I was picked from my softball class because I was cross dominant (right hand, left eye) which put me in a small minority (and the grad student was trying to get an equal number of cross dominant and same side dominant people). To control the study, she used a pitching machine - fast pitch. Since I was used to slow pitch, I didn't come close (actually I think I foul tipped a few) to hitting the ball. If there were a lot of people like me in her study (i.e., those who can't hit fast pitch, or are not used to hitting off a machine), I would seriously question the results of that study!! I think there have been some studies of major league players (across a fairly large cross section of players) to test whether eye dominance being the same or opposite side was "better" - but I don't know the results. (The woman who ran the study I was in said that there was a higher incidence of crossdominance in major leaguers than across the general population - but I'm not sure whether I'd believe her.)
