Since swapping out my generic VGA card for a Diamod Speedstar 24X, I have
noticed two new problems:
* if I create a windowed MS-DOS session (386 mode), when the text starts
to scroll, rather than printing characters it starts to print
horizontal lines that spill out to the desktop and trash the entire
display. Ctrl-alt-del terminates the dos window and restores the
desktop
* after a short time in NCD's PC X-remote for windows, all characters
displayed on the desktop are changed to be unreadable; I am unable to
restore without rebooting.
These are in both 256 and 16 color 800x600 drivers, large and small fonts.
DOS 5, Win 3.1, emm386 and smartdrv installed.
I like the speed of the card and have had no other problems. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Well, my question still hasn't been answered: if Spanky was bad enough to
release this year, why did he get so much playing time last year? Yes, I know
he was part of a platoon, and that's why he got more playing time than
Slaught, but that doesn't answer the question. If Slaught was so obviously
better this year, wasn't this also obvious last year, and shouldn't he
have been taking away some of Spanky's playing time against righties?

You must not have tried very hard. I just opend mine in about 2
seconds. Take a look on the bottom, it has a dial that turns to open
much like the older ADB mouses used to have. It's a bit harder to turn
at first but it is quite simple to open.
Well, if you don't match up the pins correctly you will have some
problems. A close look at the socket should give you an idea of the
proper orientation of the chip.

This is not strickly correct. Only by incorrect application of the
rules of language, does it seem to work.
The Mercedes in the first premis, and the one in the second are NOT
the same Mercedes.
In your case,
A = B
C = D
A and D are NOT equal. One is a name of a person, the other the
name of a object. You can not simply extract a word without taking the
context into account.
Of course, your case doesn't imply that A = D.
In his case, A does equal D.
Try again...

Well, if police think they are so special that only _THEY_ are worthy
of self-defense, perhaps we start putting the arm on police; maybe
we should start demanding that police are only police when ON-DUTY,
that after that they are just like the ordinary disarmed helpless
chumps they consider "civilians."
Let's prohibit arms carrying by police when off-duty. Or, if they make
the assertion that "Well, I need to maintain my gun" let's make it
regulation that they can carry an UNLOADED firearm home, that it's
only fair that they be just as helpless as poor schmuck coming home
from his computer operator job...
NRA Director/ex-San Jose cop Leroy Pyle states in the latest SWAT
magazine that anti-cops better watch out for this schism between
RKBA folks and the police. He asks the rhetorical question of 'What
if what's left of the gun lobby starts demanding the disarmament
of the police?"

I think the original poster meant opening the mouse, not just
releasing the ball and getting to the rollers. I found that on the
original ADB mouse, sometimes unscrewing the two halves allowed for
easier cleaning.
If the original poster has his answer, I'll ask: How do you open the
new ergonomic mouse? By open, I mean split the two halves to get at
the guts. It isn't obvious to me based on the 5 minute look I spent
with one at the office yesterday as there are no visible screw
heads.

Hello, my friends and I are running the Homewood Fantasy Baseball
League (pure fantasy baseball teams). Unfortunely, we are running the league
using Earl Weaver Baseball II with the Comm. Disk II and we need the stats
for the 1992 season. (Preferably the 1992 Major League Stat Disk) We have
the '92 total stats but EWB2 needs the split stats otherwise we have 200
inning games because the Comm. Disk turns total stats into vs. L's stats
unless you know both right and left -handed stats.

This is an excellent question and I'll be anxious to see if there are
any such cases. I doubt it. In the medieval period (esp. 10th-cent.
when Aquinas flourished) argument was a useful tool because everyone
"knew the rules." Today, when you can't count on people knowing even
the basics of logic or seeing through rhetoric, a good argument is
often indistinguishable from a poor one.
Sorry; just one of my perennial gripes...<:->

Why retract your accusation that he's a liar? If Omran retracts his "verbal
diarrohea" doesn't that only prove the liar he *really* is? A retraction
would be pointless! Giving this guy the opportunity to "save face" after

This may be a stupid question, but how does the government know which keys
to ask for?
Will owners be required to REGISTER their phones, faxes, modems, etc.,
and inform the government when they are moved to a different phone number?
Will there be penalities if the public does not do this? Will identification
(the National Health Care ID, perhaps) be required when purchasing a
Clipper-equipted phone?
Or will each chip transmit identifying information at the start of
a conversation? Identification which could be used to automatically
log who calls whom? (The _phone_ company keeps records, but this
information would be accessable by a well-placed van near a microwave
relay station).
This raises the question of how the two phones agree on a communications
encryption key. Will it be something that is derived from information
exchanged at the start of the conversation -- and hence derivable by
an eavesdropper?

I have a program produces a continuous tone by calling XBell
repeatedly at an interval equal to the duration of the bell. If it is
run more than once on a display, the tones are buffered in the X
server and the tone contunues after all occurrences of the program
have exited. Is there a convenient way of preventing this, e.g., by
emptying the X server bell buffer when each program exits?

I've been saying that for at least 2 years now and even the A's conditioning
guru told Jose he was carrying too much weight and losing some would help
his back.Although I don't for one second believe Jose used steroids,his
back problems are very similar to problems alot of steroid users experience
because they are simply carrying too much weight on their frame(see Jeff
Bregel ex 49er as a textbook example), and IMHO Jose is too big for his
frame.
I can't imagine how to estimate bat speed, but its pretty obvious that
Jose is missing fastballs he used to hit, likely due to his back.
I don't know, he had an even more open stance when he first came up with
the A's, and had no problems with it then. It might be that pre-back
problems, he was quick enough to cover up any deficiencies the stance
caused, but now he's lost just enough bat speed that the stance hurts
him. The old saying if you're hot its a trigger mechanism, if you're
cold, its a hitch.
The biggest problem IMHO is he never has found a stance he's comfortable
with for more than a few months. He changes his stance so much, he loses
track of where the strike zone is. In Wednesday's night game, he was
clearly mad at strike calls on both corners that looked pretty good to
me. I think he no longer knows where the strike zone really is because
he's changed his stance so much.
I'm also a bit concerned that because he's got Palmer and Gonzalez hitting
all the homeruns, he'll become competitive, swing even harder and screw
himself up even worse. LaRussa always said that Canseco's famous batting
practice homer shows did him more harm than good as they encouraged
bad hitting habits.

Here is a copy of my first update on the Randy Weaver trial.
After a large response (about 15 email messages), I've decided
that there is sufficient interest here on t.p.g. to warrant
posting.
*** file follows ***
Hi Folks;
As perhaps the only Boise resident on the list, I guess it
kind of falls on me to keep people updated about the
Randy Weaver/Kevin Harris trial.
Yesterday marked the seating of the jury. Apparently no other
legal activities occurred. The jury was selected and things
start today.
More interesting is what happenned outside. About a dozen
Weaver supporters showed up to stage a protest outside the
courthouse. One woman carried a sign that read, "Who stands
trial for the murder of Vicki and (son's name - I forget)
Weaver?" On the evening news she said, "I am here protesting
because I believe in freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
I thought we all did." Nice sound bite (grin)!
The news reporter also interviewed some guy named "Tim"
who refused to give his last name. Not to prejudge the
guy, but he looked like a neo-nazi. He also said he
expected many neo-nazis to show up throughout the trial.
"Tim" had been handing out leaflets in support of Weaver
and Harris and the news had footage of a Boise cop
telling him to move along or he'd arrest. I don't know
the finer points of this one. Perhaps there's a law
against political activity within X feet of a courthouse
or something (what happenned to the First Amendment?!?).
Most ominous of all was that the local reporter filmed
an agent of the Gestapo...err...ATF with a minicam
FILMING THE PROTESTORS! Welcome to the world of Big Brother.
Anyhow, Gerry Spence came out and asked the protestors to
leave because he didn't think it would help Weaver's case
any. He said he was confident that, once the evidence
came out, that Weaver would be aquitted.
More stuff as it comes available.

I'd be fascinated to see such evidence, please send me your article!
On the negative side however, I suspect that any such simplistic link
abstinence-education => decreased pregnancy,
contraceptive-education => increased pregnancy
is false. The US, which I'd guess has one of the largest proportion of
"non-liberal" sex education in the western world also has one of the highest
teenage pregnancy rates. (Please correct me if my guess is wrong.)

No, but some OS's ( COHERENT , etc ) are able to drive one of the ports in
polled mode without using the IRQ. In your example, after accessing the
modem, the mouse won't work until you reboot, because the IRQ is used by
the modem.
Yes, you can change the IRQ's for com3/4, but it depends on your other
hardware. com1 uses IRQ4, com2 IRQ3. If you have only one printerport
( IRQ7 ), you can change com3 to IRQ5 ( normally 2nd printer ). For com4,
you can assign IRQ2, if its free. As far as I know, no other IRQ can be
used until your I/O-card is 16bit and caould access IRQ's > 8.

Please! I'm begging you! Quit confusing religious groups, and stop
making generalizations! I'm a Protestant! I'm an evangelical! I don't
believe that my way is the only way! I'm not a "creation scientist"! I
don't think that homosexuals should be hung by their toenails!
If you want to discuss bible thumpers, you would be better off singling
out (and making obtuse generalizations about) Fundamentalists. If you
compared the actions of Presbyterians or Methodists with those of Southern
Baptists, you would think that they were different religions!
Please, prejudice is about thinking that all people of a group are the
same, so please don't write off all Protestants or all evangelicals!

Way back in the early years (~50's) it took 8 wins to garner the Stanley Cup.
Soooooo, a couple of local fish mongers (local to the Joe Louis Arena, that is)
started the tradition of throwing an octopi onto the ice with every win. After
each victory, one leg would be severed before the octopus found its way to the
ice. (They are dead by the way.) It was a brilliant marketing strategy to
shore up the demand for one of their least popular products.
Hope this helps.

As for advertising -- sure, why not? A NASA friend and I spent one
drunken night figuring out just exactly how much gold mylar we'd need
to put the golden arches of a certain American fast food organization
on the face of the Moon. Fortunately, we sobered up in the morning.
Hmmm. It actually isn't all that much, is it? Like about 2 million
km^2 (if you think that sounds like a lot, it's only a few tens of m^2
per burger that said organization sold last year). You'd be best off
with a reflective substance that could be sprayed thinly by an
unmanned craft in lunar orbit (or, rather, a large set of such craft).
If you can get a reasonable albedo it would be visible even at new
moon (since the moon itself is quite dark), and _bright_ at full moon.
You might have to abandon the colour, though.
Buy a cheap launch system, design reusable moon -> lunar orbit
unmanned spraying craft, build 50 said craft, establish a lunar base
to extract TiO2 (say: for colour you'd be better off with a sulphur
compound, I suppose) and some sort of propellant, and Bob's your
uncle. I'll do it for, say, 20 billion dollars (plus changes of
identity for me and all my loved ones). Delivery date 2010.
Can we get the fast-food chain bidding against the fizzy-drink
vendors? Who else might be interested?
Would they buy it, given that it's a _lot_ more expensive, and not
much more impressive, than putting a large set of several-km
inflatable billboards in LEO (or in GEO, visible 24 hours from your
key growth market). I'll do _that_ for only $5bn (and the changes of
identity).

Why must it be a US Government Space Launch Pad? Directly I mean..
I know of a few that could launch a small package into space.
Not including Ariadne, and the Russian Sites.. I know "Poker Flats" here in
Alaska, thou used to be only sounding rockets for Auroral Borealous(sp and
other northern atmospheric items, is at last I heard being upgraded to be able
to put sattelites into orbit.
Why must people in the US be fixed on using NASAs direct resources (Poker Flats
is runin part by NASA, but also by the Univesity of Alaska, and the Geophysical
Institute). Sounds like typical US cultural centralism and protectionism..
And people wonder why we have the multi-trillion dollar deficite(sp).

Well, I dropped by the library yesterday, and picked up back copies
of the National Crime Survey (1986-1990) in an effort to examine what
it said about self-defense with a firearm.
I haven't ground through much in the way of numbers yet, but a couple
of things jumped out at me. First only 1986 and 1987 specify the type of
weapon used in self defense. 1988, 1989, and 1990 refer only to "weapon."
The second is that while assaults rose about 3% from 1986 to 1987, w/gun
defenses reported *fell* by almost 25%. Unless there's an explanation for
this, I'm tempted to mark it as a reporting problem, and as such going
ahead with any examination of the numbers would be a waste of time.
Anybody have an idea what might have cause a real difference, and
not just a reporting difference? The survey doesn't appear to have
changed significantly between 1986 and 1987.

I've got the 6.0 spec (obviously since I quoted it in my last posting).
My gripe about TIFF is that it's far too complicated and nearly
infinitely easier to write than to read, which I think hurts your
acceptance by anything that will need to read those images (e.g.,
paint programs).
In a nutshell, I don't think TIFF is salvageable unless the fat is
trimmed significantly- and then it wouldn't be TIFF anymore. They
keep trying to cut it back, but it's late now. Maybe they >will< fix it,
and change that magic number to signify the lack of compatibility.
That would probably make me happy.

The New York talk shows are just awful in this regard. People are constantly
calling WFAN and WABC with (stuff like) "I was thinking, why don't the Yankees
trade Kaminicki and Silvestri to Seattle for Ken Griffey Jr and Randy Johnson,
that would really help the team" or "Do you think the Yankees can get Roger
Clemens?". The show hosts are pretty good about handling these guys, but it's
still annoying.
The best one was at the end of one show, a caller started out with "I was

I was *hoping* somebody would mention clutch. Clutch? Baerga? The
two words simply do not go together. With runners in scoring
position, Baerga batted .308/.366/.418 last year. This doesn't quite
*suck*, but most batters hit *better* in this situation.
Alomar? He hit .354/.439/.517 with runners in scoring position!
The difference? Alomar had 68 RBIs in 147 such AB. Baerga had 81
RBIs in 182 such AB. Baerga got 25% more chances, yet succeeded only
20% more times.
Frankly, I don't believe in clutch. But if I did, my vote would
go to Alomar for MVP (let alone "best 2B in the AL").

I envision incorporation of new standart into
various communication systems, thus making it prevalent on the market &
therefore cheap. The way to do that may be detaching crypto chip from
communication equipment. It seems logical to provide Clipper chip
to the end-user not as a part of phone, fax, modem & like but in the
form of smart-card compatible with various telecomm. products. Banks
will encourage extensive use of new cards to make transactions by phone.
Natural step will be to cross-reference this card to the person in the
government databases - or else this new version of "wiretap proposal"
make no sence at all; one wish to eavesdrop (spell.) on the particular
person, not on the particular modem or phone.
As a side note, I disagree with one poster, who said he won't care about
ability of the government to eavesdrop, since they can do that now
anyway. Clipper will take away electronic survelliance from citizens,
making it monopoly of the government. May be, we can find examples when
interceptions made by (unauthorised) people uncovered crimes of
state officials ?

As am I
If "high quality secure NSA classified technology" means handing my key
over to whomever, I'll take PGP any day.
Right now they are billing it as voluntary, i.e. bend over, here it comes.
As soon as enough Wiretap chip based units are out there, how much
easier do you think it will be to redefine "on your own" to mean
write it yourself and don't even THINK about distributing it...?
Get honest, no one is going to buy this trash if they KNOW it's compromised
already, and less will buy it if the algorithm is not disclosed.
The NSA knows that making this stuff available to the public means
handing it to whatever foreign powers are interested in the process.
Since when has export control stopped anyone (especially software wise)
Ask yourself carefully if " high quality secure NSA classified technology "
is something they are going to hand out. Not unless you can drive a
NSA van through the holes.

Wow, what a concept! Does anybody want to speculate on how this
"non-connection" would fit into the theft of cable services laws?
It seems to me that unless this case is specifically written into
the legislation that the cable company would not have a leg to
stand upon in court.
Does anybody out there have any specific legal knowledge on this?

Sure. Why keep using oil? A hydrogen/electric economy would likely be
cleaner and more efficient in the long run. The laws of supply and demand
should get the transition underway before we reach a critical stage of
shortage.

Are you switching high level signals or low level signals like pre-amp
out level signals? Also, are the clicks you mentioning the big
clack that happens when it switches or are you refering to contact
bounce? How are you driving the relays? TTL gate output? Switching
transistor? How are the relays connected to what you are driving?

Now, my ego with regards to my shifting ability is as big as anyone else's, but
I just ordered my first car with an auto trans. I wasn't planning on it; but
after driving a few I was convinced: Things have changed since the days of
"Slip 'n' Slide Withe Powerglide". They shift *better* than I do, there's no
clutch to wear out (Honda wanted $800 for my 4WD wagon last year!- got it done
for $500), it only costs about 5% in gas milage on the highway and it makes it
easier to concentrate on all the radios in my car ;-)
(Oddly enough, while two of my best friends- both in the auto industry here in the
Motor City- have switched wholeheartedly to autos, their wives *insist* on
manual. Shift envy?)
Braggadocio aside, given today's technology and the warranties they're handing
out the auto trans seemed like an excellent choice. Call me a convert.

Sorry for wasting your time with a probably simple question, but I'm not
an computer graphic expert. I want to read TIFF-Files with a PASCAL-program.
The problem is, that the files I want to read are in compressed form
( code 1, e.g. Huffman ). All books & articles I found describe only the
plain (uncompressed) format. I don't know where to get the original
TIFF specification, furthermore I haven't any access to a realy complete
library. Can anybody direct me to a good book or (even better) to an
specification available via ftp ?

A section of Richard Badenas' book, "Christ The End of the Law, Romans 10.14
in Pauline Perspective." The section I have is on the Contextual setting and
meaning of Romans 9-11. In addition, there are 111 endnotes.
Since the file is so long, and because of other reasons, I will take requests
for the article personally.
Of course, I believe Badenas' insights to be true, and, quite damaging to the
traditional Augustinian/Calvinist view.

>Does anyone know how to size cold gas roll control thruster tanks
>for sounding rockets?
Well, first you work out how much cold gas you need, then make the
tanks big enough.
Our sounding rocket payload, with telemetry, guidance, etc. etc. and a
telescope cluster, weighs around 1100 pounds. It uses freon jets for
steering and a pulse-width-modulated controller for alignment (ie
during our eight minutes in space, the jets are pretty much
continuously firing on a ~10% duty cycle or so...). The jets also
need to kill residual angular momentum from the spin stabilization, and
flip the payload around to look at the Sun.
We have two freon tanks, each holding ~5 liters of freon (I'm speaking
only from memory of the last flight). The ground crew at WSMR choose how
much freon to use based on some black-magic algorithm. They have
extra tank modules that just bolt into the payload stack.
This should give you an idea of the order of magnitude for cold gas
quantity. If you really need to know, send me email and I'll try to get you
in touch with our ground crew people.
Cheers,
Craig

That would be neat, but nowhere in the Bible does it say
that one who has the gift of tounges can do this. If the gift
of tounges were the ability to be understood by everyone,
no matter what languages they know, there would be no need for the
gift of interpretation, and I Corinthians 14 would not have had to
have been written.
That's a pretty harsh assumption to make about a several million
Christians world wide. Sure, there are some who want glory
for themselves who speak in tounges, just as there are among those
who do not have this gift. There were people like this in the Corinthian
church also. that does not mean that there is no true gift or that all
who speak in tounges do it for their own glory in the sight of men.
I would venture to say that a large percentage of those who do speak in tounges
do so more often in private prayer than in public.

We were talking about Migraine and Exercise (I'm the one who can't
fathom the thought of exercise during migraine...). Anyway, turning
the thread around, the other day I played tennis during my lunch
hour. I'm out of tennis shape so it was very intense exercise. I
got overheated, and dehydrated. Afterwards, I noticed a tingling
sensation all over my head then about 2 hours later, I could feel
a migraine start. (I continued to drink water in the afternoon.)
I took cafergot, but it didn't help and the pain started although
it wasn't as intense as it usually is and about 9pm that night, the
pain subsided.
This isn't the first time that I've had a migraine occur after exercise.
I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same experience and I wonder
what triggers the migraine in this situation (heat buildup? dehydration?).
I'm not giving up tennis so is there anything I can do (besides get into
shape and don't play at high noon) to prevent this?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm trying to write a Motif program on an Interactive Unix machine, and I'm
observing very strange behavior when my program attempts to expose a
DrawingArea. Namely, some Xlib operations work, and some do not. In
particular, the expose consist of two XFillRectangle calls followed by some
XDrawPoint calls, and for reasons unknown to me the point calls are failing
whenever a pulldown or popup up menu is (clicked on and) moved in the
rightward direction over the drawing area, but after the move, is still on
some part of the drawing area. This also happens less consistently when the
pulldown/popup is moved in the leftward direction.
Assuming that my code is not doing anything incredibly odd, is this a server
bug?
Thanks,

I totally agree with that sentiment. But why do you have to go further
and advocate violating what God has set up? That is the question which
you have not answered from Scripture. You can worship on every day, as
long as you work. But God says the Sabbath is all mine.

(WEBSTER: myth: "a traditional or legendary story...
...a belief...whose truth is accepted uncritically.")
How does that qualify?
Indeed, it's almost oxymoronic...a rather amusing instance.
I've found that most atheists hold almost no atheist-views as
"accepted uncritically," especially the few that are legend.
Many are trying to explain basic truths, as myths do, but
they don't meet the other criterions.
Also...
You accuse him of referencing mythology, then you procede to
launch your own xtian mythology. (This time meeting all the
requirements of myth.)
Ah, but not everyone "knows" that god exists. So you have
a fallacy.
And that makes it true? Holding with the Bible rules out controversy?
Read the FAQ. If you've read it, you missed something, so re-read.
(Not a bad suggestion for anyone...I re-read it just before this.)
...should I repeat what I wrote above for the sake of getting
it across? You may trust the Bible, but your trusting it doesn't
make it any more credible to me.
If the Bible says that everyone knows, that's clearly reason
to doubt the Bible, because not everyone "knows" your alleged
god's alleged existance.
1) No, they don't have to ignore the Bible. The Bible is far
from universally accepted. The Bible is NOT a proof of god;
it is only a proof that some people have thought that there
was a god. (Or does it prove even that? They might have been
writing it as series of fiction short-stories. As in the
case of Dionetics.) Assuming the writers believed it, the
only thing it could possibly prove is that they believed it.
And that's ignoring the problem of whether or not all the
interpretations and Biblical-philosophers were correct.
2) There are people who have truly never heard of the Bible.
3) Again, read the FAQ.
Bzzt...wrong answer!
Gravity is directly THERE. It doesn't stop exerting a direct and
rationally undeniable influence if you ignore it. God, on the
other hand, doesn't generally show up in the supermarket, except
on the tabloids. God doesn't exert a rationally undeniable influence.
Gravity is obvious; gods aren't.
No, human reason hasn't always come back to the existance of
"God"; it has usually come back to the existance of "god".
In other words, it doesn't generally come back to the xtian
god, it comes back to whether there is any god. And, in much
of oriental philosophic history, it generally doesn't pop up as
the idea of a god so much as the question of what natural forces
are and which ones are out there. From a world-wide view,
human nature just makes us wonder how the universe came to
be and/or what force(s) are currently in control. A natural
tendancy to believe in "God" only exists in religious wishful
thinking.
Xtianity is no more reasonable than most other religions, and
it's reasonableness certainly doesn't merit eminence.
Divine justice...well, it only seems just to those who already
believe in the divinity.
First, not all atheists believe the same things about human
nature. Second, whether most atheists are correct or not,
YOU certainly are not correct on human nature. You are, at
the least, basing your views on a completely eurocentric
approach. Try looking at the outside world as well when
you attempt to sum up all of humanity.

Having run completely out of time, I've got to get my prophesies and
predictions for the A.L. out. Qualifications -- one of the worse
finishes in last year's prediction contest.
AL East -- 1993
1. Baltimore Orioles
Why the Orioles? Well, I pondered long and hard, and it all came down to
this:
-- The Blue Jays are going the wrong direction.
-- Can't bring myself to pick the Yankees
-- Milwaukee was a fluke
-- Indians aren't ready to contend
-- Red Sox were bad last year, and didn't get any better
-- Detroit's pitching will be the new definition of "replacement level"
"But you don't really think the Orioles will win, do you." No. As a matter
of fact, I can't see any team in the American League winning either division
on paper (with the possible exception of the Yankees, who I hate). But some-
body has to win, so I pick the Orioles. "You don't really think that Brady
Anderson is going to repeat, do you?" No. I'm basing the Orioles prediction
on the expectation of big years from Cal Ripken and Glenn Davis. "Glenn
Davis? That's insane". Yes. So, without further ado:
STRONG POINTS: Hoiles, Ripken some years, Olson, getting rid of Billy Ripken.
WEAK POINTS: Segui may start. Valenzuela (the original 30-something) may be
the fifth starter. Oates puts his best hitters at the bottom of the lineup.
(Does anybody else think that might be a calculated maneuver to minimize
the effect of a slumping Ripken? If you can't move Ripken out of the #3
spot, why not move the rest of the line up?)
WOULD BE A GOOD SIGN: Glenn Davis wins comeback player of the year.
WOULD BE A BAD SIGN: In a tight pennant race, team trades for Pecota.
ObPrediction: "The Streak" continues. Harold Reynolds leads the team in
caught stealing.
2. New York Yankees.
STRONG POINTS: Abbot, Key, Perez. Could have best pitching in American
League. Boggs should improve on Hayes.
WEAK POINTS: Mattingly still considered best hitter. The Steinbrenner
factor. (The Yankees lost to the Mets. Can wholesale changes be far
behind?) Never count on rookie pitchers (i.e. Wickman & Millitello) to
win a division.
WOULD BE A GOOD SIGN: Boggs hits over .300
WOULD BE A BAD SIGN: Howe gets arrested again.
ObPrediction: Mattingly won't top a 700 OPS.
3. Toronto Blue Jays
STRONG POINTS: Management willing to make big deals. Management has eerie
power to convince other teams its prospects are not suspects. Olerud.
Guzman. Alomar.
WEAK POINTS: The Jackson for Bell trade has shaken my faith in Gillick.
Losing Stewart may hurt rotation (that's *really* a bad sign). No one in
the outfield can get on base. Pitching is thin behind Guzman and Ward.
WOULD BE A GOOD SIGN: Jack Morris considered Cy Young contender in August
WOULD BE A BAD SIGN: Club makes no major deals in August.
ObPrediction: Morris will post better ERA and WHIP totals than last year. And
have a losing record.
4. Milwaukee Brewers
STRONG POINTS: Pitching staff was exceptional -- last year.
WEAK POINTS: Molitor gone. Surhoff at third? Why? Eldred can't keep it up.
WOULD BE A GOOD SIGN: Listach and Eldred play like last year.
WOULD BE BAD SIGN: Bones plays like last year.
ObPrediction: Surhoff won't finish the year at third.
5. Cleveland Indians
STRONG POINTS: Baerga, Belle, Nagy
WEAK POINTS: Pitching staff thin -- losing Olin really hurts. Starts Felix
Fermin.
WOULD BE A GOOD SIGN: Bielecki's ERA is consistent with his Atlanta starts.
WOULD BE A BAD SIGN: Ted Power -- bullpen ace.
ObPrediction: Alomar will be back on the DL by the all-star break.
6. Boston Red Sox
STRONG POINTS: Clemens, Viola, Clemens, Detroit, Clemens
WEAK POINTS: Most incompetent GM in baseball. Key free agent signing -- Andre
Dawson. Burks is gone -- Hatcher in center.
WOULD BE A GOOD SIGN: Rainouts in between Clemens starts.
WOULD BE A BAD SIGN: Clemens on the DL
ObPrediction: Russell will make Sox fans forget Reardon. Interpret that how
you will :->
7. Detroit Tigers
STRONG POINTS: Tettleton, Phillips, Whitaker
WEAK POINTS: If Fielder keeps declining, he'll be a shortstop this year.
Worst rotation in baseball entirely replaced -- but not necessarily better.
This year could be *very* ugly.
WOULD BE A GOOD SIGN: Cecil Fielder deserving the MVP.
WOULD BE A BAD SIGN: Cecil Fielder not whining about deserving an MVP.
ObPrediction: Cecil *won't* lead the league in RBIs.
One more division to go....

I need some advice on having someone ride pillion with me on my 750 Ninja.
This will be the the first time I've taken anyone for an extended ride
(read: farther than around the block :-). We'll be riding some twisty,
fairly bumpy roads (the Mines Road-Mt.Hamilton Loop for you SF Bay Areans).
I'd say this is a very bad idea - you should start out with something
much mellower so that neither one of you get in over your head.
That particular road requires full concentration - not the sort of
thing you want to take a passenger on for the first time.
Once you both decide that you like riding together, and want to do
something longer and more challenging, *then* go for a hard core road
like Mines-Mt. Hamilton.
In any case, it's *your* (moral) responsibility to make sure that she
has proper gear that fits - especially if you're going sport
riding.

GORE JOINS STUDENTS IN ORLANDO FOR FIRST KIDS EARTH SUMMIT
Will Take Part in Special Town Meeting On the Environment
******** SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1993 - ORLANDO, FLORIDA **********
WASINGTON -- Joining students from across the United States
and around the world for the first ever Kids Earth Summit, Vice
President Al Gore will travel to Orlando, Florida, on Saturday
(4/17) and participate in a special town hall meeting, hosted by
Linda Ellerbee for broadcast on Nickelodeon, to hear the young
people's concerns and share ideas about the environment.
The Vice President will take part in the "Kids World
Council: Plan It for the Planet" from 2-5 PM (EDT) Saturday
(4/17) in Orlando, Florida. He will tour a display of student
environmental projects, then videotape the town hall meeting
where he will discuss with student delegates their concerns about
the environment and their plans for an environmentally sound
future.
The town hall meeting will be moderated by Linda Ellerbee
and taped for a news special, "Nickelodeon Special Edition: Plan
It for the Planet," which will air on Sunday, April 18 at 8 PM
(EDT). It is sponsored by Nickelodeon and the Children's Earth
Fund.
"Young people care about the environment because they know
it affects our future. Across the country and around the world,
young people are speaking out about the environmental challenges
we face. They are identifying problems, thinking about
solutions, and they are demanding action from their leaders," the
Vice President said.
The Kids World Council delegates are meeting for three days
in Orlando to discuss how to save energy and switch to renewable
energy. They will be following the format and goals of the Earth
Summit that took place last year in Rio de Janeiro. The Vice
President led the Senate Delegation to the Earth Summit.
"I look forward to hearing what young people have to say
about the environment and their future. Their insight into the
world around us is important," the Vice President said.

I got a question from my dad which I really can't answer and I'd appreciate
some net.wisdom.
His question is about some 18-24" diameter balls which are attached to
electric power lines in his area. He's seen up to a half dozen between
two poles. Neither of us have any experience with electric power distribution.
My only guess was that they may be a capacitive device to equalize the
inductance of the grid, but why so many between two poles?.
Anyone know what they really are? Is there a related FAQ for this?
Is there a better group to submit to?
We'd both appreciate some enlightenment.

I heard third-hand (not the best form of information) that there was recently
published results of a study on Multiple-Personality-Disorder Syndrome
patients revealing some interesting clues that the root cause of allergy may
have a psychological trigger or basis. What I heard about this study was that
in one 'personality', a MPDS patient exhibited no observable or clinical signs
of inhalant allergy (scratch tests were used, according to what I heard),
while in other personalities they showed obvious allergy symptoms, including
testing a full ++++ on scratch tests for particular inhalants.
If this is true, it is truly fascinating.
But, I'd like to know if this study was ever done, and if so, what the study
really showed, and where the study is published. Any help out there?

Hi!
I'd like to switch my floppy drives so that my 3.5" b: drive becomes a:, while
my 5.25" a: becomes b:. I'm having a few problems, though.
I know that the ribbon cable must be switched, as well as the CMOS settings,
to reflect this change, and I think that I've done that correctly. However, the
drives do not operate correctly in this configuration. From the C:> prompt, if
I type a:, the 5.25" drive light comes on; if I type b:, both the light for the
5.25" and 3.5" drives come on.
There are some jumpers on each drive:
5.25" Label Original Pos. Pos. I changed it to
DS0 ON OFF
DS1 OFF ON
DS2 ON ON
DS3 OFF OFF
IO OFF OFF
MS1 OFF OFF
D-R ON ON
MS2 ON ON
FG OFF OFF
3.5" DS0 OFF ON
DS1 ON OFF
DS2 OFF OFF
DS3 OFF OFF
MM ON ON
DC ON ON
MD OFF OFF
TTL/C-MO8 ON ON
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

##It should be noted that NAMBLA has not been present in the
##other 600 or so gay parades in the nation. While I view this
##as an isolated event, I am very troubled by its reccurence.
Thank you for correcting the error in my post to the net.
This information came from a newspaper article that was
fuzzy in my mind. I can only wonder if there have been
similar outcries about NAMBLA's presence in the parades
of New York and Boston.

Well, first you work out how much cold gas you need, then make the
tanks big enough.
Working out how much cold gas is another problem, depending on
vehicle configuration, flight duration, thruster Isp (which couples
into storage pressure, which may be a factor in selecting tank
wall thickness etc.)

Hm. A previous poster argued that the fact that the BD's did not rush to
escape the burning building indicated that it was they, and not any of the
government actions, that started the fire. On the other hand, I wonder if,
with a face full of "massive amounts of CS," *I* would be able to escape
a burning tinder-box like that ranch house assuming my best efforts.

If I have a habit that I really want to break, and I am willing to
make whatever sacrifice I need to make to break it, then I do so.
There have been bad habits of mine that I've decided to put forth the
effort to break, and I've done so; there have been other bad habits
that I've decided are not worth the effort to break. It's my choice,
either way.
I am my own master. I choose what I want to do. I weigh the benefits
of my actions against their consequences, and I use my experience to
help me deal with the unexpected, which in turn make me more experienced.
I don't always succeed, but I never fail, either -- I learn.
Do *you* have any habits you can't break? Why not?
I have arrived at my own understanding of Christianity, just as you've
probably arrived at your own understanding of Islam that is most
likely very different from the way a Moslem thinks of his religion.
Are you "unable to master your lack of desire to understand even the
slightest concept of the Quran"? If that's different, then how is it
different from what you accuse me of? Can I accuse you of having no
desire to understand even the slightest concept of atheism?
Of COURSE not. That's disgusting. For centuries, religions have been
discriminating on sex and treating women as second-class humans;
that's one of the reasons I renounced my Christianity.
No. I don't insult people. Period. It's not in my nature, and it's
not something that I want to do, either.
Not yet -- but my life is the ground I use to practice on. The fun is
in the getting there!
We don't start out perfect; we've got to strive to be something
better. I know my shortcomings, and I know my strengths, and I live
my life according to the decisions I make, and I am content to abide
with the consequences of my decisions as easily as I'll accept the
praise for them. There have been times in my life when I've made
mistakes, yes; I try to never make the same mistake twice.
I regard Christ as a myth. I feel that there are far too many people
offering far too many interpretations of what he supposedly said and
did. The only person who can really judge me is *me*. I choose the
roads I travel, and I decide whether or not I want to reach the end of
any given road or turn back -- and as long as I don't *always* turn
back, there's no shame in it. When I need help, I seek out my friends.
And you don't have a clue about what I'm saying, either. Open your
eyes and SEE; open your ears and LISTEN. I'm not just spouting off
empty words. This is my LIFE, this is what gives me MEANING.
Huh? You're going WAY off the track here.
I say my mother loves me. How do I know, you ask? I can point to
definite things she's done for me, and I can even just bring her to
you so you can ask her, face-to-face.
You say your deity loves you. How do you know, I ask? You can't even
convince me that it exists!
If any god dangles 'heaven' before me like a carrot, promising untold
pleasures to me if I'll only suspend my disbelief and ignore my
rationality for just this once, then I would choose 'hell'. I can
*not* lie to myself to placate another being, no matter how powerful
it is.
Note also that there are several gods trying to lure me this way:
Yahweh, Allah, Zeus, Odin, Ra... Please give me a solid reason to
choose one of them over the others.
[ description of Kendigism deleted -- hee hee! ]
That paragraph demonstrates that you haven't listened to a single word
I've said.
Have you ever gone to an amusement park? Why? I mean, after a few
hours, it closes, and nothing's different except that you're a few
dollars lighter. Going to the amusement park doesn't do you any good
at all. Why do you do such a meaningless thing?
The answer is that you think it's fun. You play the skee-ball over
and over because you'd like to get better at it, even though you're
not going to win anything better than a stuffed animal even if you
blow ten dollars on it. You ride the roller coaster because it's an
thrilling experience, even though (because?) it scares the dickens out
of you.
In the same way, I think life is fun. And I don't intend to leave the
amusement park of life until they close down for the night! :-D
So you (and your holy book) say. By the same token, therefore, Santa
Claus delivers toys every xmas. Don't you see? I have NO REASON to
believe that what you say is true. Please give me some reason that I
can't similarly apply to Santa Claus.
I can't do it, because your existence means nothing more to me than
just your communications over the net. You have no more bearing on
nor importance in my life than that; remove it, and you will cease to
be significant to me.
Are you thereby inferring that your deity is nothing more than a
collection of verses in a book, and cannot be supported without
invoking them?
Or do you mean that the existence of your deity (and, in fact, any
other deity that can be written about) is as real as your own
existence?
Why do you believe what you believe?

Sooner than you expect. Remember 'Cyprus'?
Too bad. In fact, by 1942, Nazi Armenians in Europe had established
a vast network of pro-German collaborators, that extended over two
continents. Thousands of Armenians were serving the German army and
Waffen-SS in Russia and Western Europe. Armenians were involved in
espionage and fifth-column activities for Hitler in the Balkans and
Arabian Peninsula. They were promised an 'independent' state under
German 'protection' in an agreement signed by the 'Armenian National
Council.' (A copy of this agreement can be found in the 'Congressional
Record,' November 1, 1945; see Document 1.) On this side of the Atlantic,
Nazi Armenians were aware of their brethrens alliance. They had often
expressed pro-Nazi sentiments until America entered the war. In summary,
during World War II Armenians were carried away with the German might and
cringing and fawning over the Nazis. In that zeal, the Armenian publication
in Germany, Hairenik, carried statements as follows:[1]
"Sometimes it is difficult to eradicate these poisonous elements (the Jews)
when they have struck deep root like a chronic disease, and when it
becomes necessary for a people (the Nazis) to eradicate them in an uncommon
method, these attempts are regarded as revolutionary. During the surgical
operation, the flow of blood is a natural thing."
Now for a brief view of the Armenian genocide of the Muslims and Jews -
extracts from a letter dated December 11, 1983, published in the San
Francisco Chronicle, as an answer to a letter that had been published
in the same journal under the signature of one B. Amarian.
"...We have first hand information and evidence of Armenian atrocities
against our people (Jews)...Members of our family witnessed the
murder of 148 members of our family near Erzurum, Turkey, by Armenian
neighbors, bent on destroying anything and anybody remotely Jewish
and/or Muslim. Armenians should look to their own history and see
the havoc they and their ancestors perpetrated upon their neighbors...
Armenians were in league with Hitler in the last war, on his premise
to grant them self government if, in return, the Armenians would
help exterminate Jews...Armenians were also hearty proponents of
the anti-Semitic acts in league with the Russian Communists. Mr. Amarian!
I don't need your bias."
Signed Elihu Ben Levi, Vacaville, California.

Review,' a Quarterly by the Hairenik Association, Inc., Summer:
June 1957, Vol. X, No. 2-38.

Note the clause "more forcibly", above. My point is that they have
made a few pro-forma, perfunctory remarks, and sent in a few C-130's and
so forth, but it's clearly not something they're losing much sleep over.
They're just going through the motions, while Moslems are being "ethnically
cleansed" out of what used to be Yugoslavia. The US has been speaking
out far more loudly than the Moslem nations in the UN and other world
forums.
Precisely. Humanitarian concerns were not the primary justification
for US involvement in the Gulf - oil and geopolitics were. If the
the Kuwaitis didn't have oil (and assuming Iraq still saw fit to
invade them) I doubt you would have seen Operation Desert Storm.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
_____________________________________________________________________
For Immediate Release April 5, 1993
PRESS BRIEFING
BY GEORGE STEPHANOPOLOUS
The Briefing Room
10:10 A.M. EDT
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: As you know, the President is soon
to be on his way, on Amtrack to Camden Yards. He'll be throwing out
the first pitch.
Q It's MARC, the Maryland Area Transit, it's not
Amtrack.
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Oh, it's not Amtrack? Well, he's
going from Union Station, you're right. Excuse me.
Q George, what exactly are you prepared to do to
break the logjam with ??? Senate?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, as you know, there are
discussions between Senator Mitchell and Senator Dole this morning,
and I think that the President is going to continue to make the point
that he believes that our investment package, our jobs package needs
to be passed as quickly as possible. We need this investment for
summer jobs, for immunization, for highway construction, for the
important programs that will put people back to work right away this
summer. And the President continues to believe his program should be
passed.
Q Will he compromise, that's the question?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, as you know, the discussions
are going on this morning in the Senate betwen Senator Mitchell and
Senator Dole, let's see what they come up with. But the President
believes his jobs program should go forward.
Q George, would the President be willing to accept $8
billion for one year, which apparently appears to be the compromise
being offered by --
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, I don't know what is being
offered by either side. The Senate discussions are going on right
now, let's see what happens today.
Q Would he go that far -- no matter what the
Republicans have offered so far, would he go that far, $8 billion per
year?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: The President believes that his
program should be passed at this time. Clearly, we're going to be
willing to listen to what the Senators might or might not be able to
come up with, but I'm not going to get into figures right now. Let's
see what happens.
Q It's reasonable to assume, isn't it, from what has
happened so far that a compromise is going to be necessary in order
to get a vote?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, the Republicans seem more
intrested in stopping progress on the President's jobs bill, than in
doing something to create -- MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, the
Republicans seem more interested in stopping progress on the
President's jobs bill than in doing something to create real action,
real jobs this summer for the American people. I think there's no
question about that. There's been some frustration of legislative
activity over the last few days.
Q So, you'll need to compromise to get your package
through?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll see what happens with the
conversations between Senator Mitchell and Senator Dole this morning.
Q prepared to compromise --
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: The President's prepared to listen
to what Senator Mitchell has to say this morning after his meeting
with Senator Dole.
Q Does he feel that he has been defeated in his --
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Not in the least. In fact, he's
been very successful so far in the beginning of his term.
Q How?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: He passed his budget in record
time, in six weeks, and it's a budget which reduces the deficit by
$500 billion over five years. And it's a budget which provides for
important investments in our future. Right now we've also had strong
passage of his jobs program through the House. Simply because a
minority of Republicans in the Senate choose to perpetuate gridlock
and hold up action on the President's jobs program is not a sign that
he is not succeeding overall.
Q He can't beat this, can he?
Q The fact is they can do that?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, the Republicans can stop
action. There's no question about that.
Q What are you going to do about it?
Q George, what do you know about these alleged notes
taken by Boris Yeltsin during one of the meetings in which it appears
that the President told Boris Yeltsin not to trust the Japanese; that
when they say yes they mean no?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I think that's a complete
misreading of what happened at the meeting. The context of the
conversation was that President Clinton was actually reassuring
President Yeltsin at the time about his conversations with Prime
Minister Miyazawa over the Kuril Islands and the Prime Minister's
belief that Japan would play a constructive role in the G-7 process.
I mean this was a casual comment about Japanese courtesy and
etiquette but overall it was in the context of a conversation where
he was reassuring President Yeltsin that he believed the Japanese
were serious about their commitment to the G-7 process.
Q Are you saying that the President said that when
the Japanese say yes they mean no?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: That's not -- I don't know the
exact words and there was a much longer discussion about he did say
something along the lines that he believes that on this issue Prime
Minister Miyazawa intends to really go forward with the G-7 process.
Q Have there been any attempts to explain this to the
Japanese because apparently the Japanese press has picked this up and
there appears to be --
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I've seen the reports in the
Japanese press and it actually does put the situation in context. It
does talk about the Japanese -- understanding the Japanese points of
view. I don't think it's going to be a problem. I believe that
there may have been some diplomatic context just to clear things up
but I'm not positive.
Q George, was the specific comment that was made
specific to the Kuril Island situation or was it a general
observation on Japanese etiquette?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: The discussion was about --
Q The specific comment is what I'm asking about that
has alleged to have been translated from the Russian notes, "when the
Japanese say yes they mean no."
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, it was a combination. I mean
I don't think that's the whole sentence. I think that the specific
comment was a broad, general observation followed up by a specific
finish to the sentence where he said in this case he believes that
Prime Minister Miyazawa means to keep the commitment.
Q Was he saying it facetiously first?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I think it was just a casual
observation.
Q And then you say diplomatic contacts were made to
clear it up. Has the President sent a message?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: No, I don't think the President
spoke; I believe that Secretary Christopher has made some calls but
I'm not sure exactly how many.
Q Well, this obviously is a bigger deal than you're
making it out to be if Christopher has had to make some calls.
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: No, no. It was just that we got
the reports in Vancouver and the Secretary wanted to make sure that
it was understood and make sure there was absolutely no
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: -- reports in Vancouver, and the
Secretary wanted to make sure that it was understood, and make sure
there is absolutely no misunderstanding, and I don't believe there is
on.
Q What is our position about the Japanese? That they
may have to say one thing, but actualy mean another?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: No. The position on the Japanese
is as the President stated to President Yeltsin throughout the two
days. He said that he had had a good conversation with Prime
Minister Miazawa prior to the Summit. He reiterated the U.S.
position, the long-standing support for the Japanese position on the
Kuril Islands, but also reiterated Prime Minister Miazawa's
commitment to move forward on the G-7 process and to play a
constructive role. And I think President Yeltsin was very glad to
hear that.
Q After listening to Secretary Christopher on Iraq
for the last few days, I'm a little confused. What is the U.S.
policy? Do you want to see Saddam Hussein overturned?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: It's the same policy that Secretary
Christopher has reiterated, and all of the U.S officials have
reiterated. We expect full and complete and unequivocal compliance
with all U.N. resolutions. Right now we do not have that compliance.
Q throwing it out further that if Iraq complies,
Saddam can't stay in office?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Right. I think that that's -- our
judgment is that it is not possible for Saddam Hussein to comply with
the resolutions and stay in power. But the important point is that
we expect compliance by Iraq with all U.N. resolutions, and we will
continue to demand it.
Q And are you concerned the Iran will become the
dominant power in the area --
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Secretary Christopher has also
spoken to Iran over the last several days, and he says we also expect
full Iranian compliance with all international norms, and stopping
support of terrorism.
Q That's a very glib statement that he won't stay in
power if he complies with U.N. resolutions. On what logic do you
base that?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Right now Saddam Hussein is not
complying with the U.N. resolutions at all. He is not respecting the
rights of his people, as is required by the U.N. resolution. He is
not fully complying with all the resolutions regarding inspections.
He is not fully complying with all the resolutions regarding
armaments.
Q Well, when do you think that if he did comply he
would be out of power?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, right now his power rests on
the repression of his people. If he stopped doing that it would make
it more difficult for him to stay in power.
Q George, back on the stimulus package, why is it
that you and the President accuse the Republicans of playing pure
politics and perpetuating gridlock? Why is it that -- what evidence
do you have that they just don't have a genuine idealogical
difference with you that's in good faith?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, the fact that several times
in the past the Republicans, many of the ones who are now leading the
fight for the filibuster, have supported the very funding they now
seek to stop, most especially, the highway funding.
Q George, in regards to that, some of the moderate
Republicans said that the White House erred by not being more open to
them during the -- while the plan was put together, that they had
one, sort of, proforma meeting between the White House and the Senate
Republicans, and that was it. Does the Administration look back and
thinks perhaps it could have done a better job of working with some -
-
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, I'm not sure that it's true
that there was only one meeting. I mean, the President met with the
Republican leadership on at least two occasions before the
introduction of his package. He met with the entire Senate
Republican Caucus also for lunch, and went up there. We are
continually in contact with as many Republicans as we can find who
have an interest in the President's package. We are interested in
what they have to say, as well. But we believe that this program is
important, and we're going to continue to fight for it.
Q your all or nothing, do it with the Democrats
alone strategy, did you maybe miscalculate the ability to get it
through?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, I mean, I think that there is
no question that under the Senate rules a determined minority can
frustrate activity. I mean, there is just no question about that.
You only need 40 plus one to keep going. 40 plus one to keep going
and to stop any action, and that's what the Republicans are doing.
Q going to rethink the way you attempt to get
other things passed as you go through this process for the rest of
the summer?
Q work with Republicans and try to woo some
Republicans into your camp?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I think we're going to continue to
look for the support of Republicans whenever we can get it on the
President's intiatives?
Q But on this one -- how are you going to do it
differently than you did it on this one because on this one you
really did stiff the Republicans from the beginning and made it clear
that it was a Democratic majority that would get this through and
could get it through and you really didn't need Republican votes?
Are you going to take a different tack when you have to go for
particular votes? When you have to go through --
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I can't see into the future and
understand every possible turn in the legislative road. Clearly the
President's going to continue to reach out when he can.
Q You don't have any regrets then about the way you
have handled it up to now and you don't plan any changes in your
approach in dealing with the Republicans in Congress based on this
experience?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Obviously the President would like
his package passed as quickly as possible and he's going to continue
to press for that. We will continue to reach out to Republicans,
there's not question about that. And we'll continue to reason with
them and try and find appropriate avenues for cooperation. In this
case the Republicans have chosen to unify around a filibuster, around
a plan to frustrate action not a plan to move forward.
Q They're being denied any other legislative means of
putting their proposals forward.
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I think they're being --
Q any ideas.
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I think their amendments are being
defeated; I don't know that they're being denied.
Q to present them.
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: That's not exactly true. I mean
they get the votes --
Q that theirs can be passed though by the
parliamentary rules under which they're playing.
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Unless they get a majority in
support all the way around, no, that's not exactly true.
Q George, one more on Iraq. Is the administration
backing any of the Iraqi opposition? Grooming any new leadership?
Q backing any of the Iraqi -- leadership?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Oh, I -- again, we're pressing for
Iraqi compliance. I don't know if we can get into the business of
grooming leadership. I believe there have been some contacts, at
some levels, with Iraqi opposition groups. I don't know about
anything recently.
Q Jesse Jackson, who, of course, is not the
President's best friend, has, however, been told that there is to be
some kind of town meeting, or some kind of involvement by the
President, pre-empted the ball game -- Los Angeles. Will he consider
something like that, or any other kind of intervention there?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, as you know, the President
appointed Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, about 10 days ago, to be a
special envoy to California, and coordiante cabinet activities around
the California economic situation, including the situation in Los
Angeles.
I believe there will also be visits out to Los Angeles
by the Education -- or have been visits by the Education Secretary,
Mr. Riley. I believe that Transportation Secretary Pena and HUD
Secretary Cisneros are also going out. And there may be other visits
by Cabinet officials over the next several days and weeks. I
wouldn't rule out the possibility of a visit by President Clinton to
California. Obviously, he is following the situation closely, and is
concerned about making sure that we make the right long term policy
decisions that will help create the kind of economic opportunities
which help prevent disturbances. But we're going to continue to
watch it.
Q George, as a follow-up, Reverend Jackson is also
supposed to be outside the ball park today, in Baltimore, with a
group of supporters protesting the lack of minorities in baseball
management. Does the President have a position on that?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: The President has received
correspondence from Reverend Jackson. I know that Reverend Jackson
has also spoken with the White House Chief of Staff, Mack McLarty.
He clearly raises serious questions. There has been some progress in
baseball over the last several years, but still not enough. But the
President intends to continue to go to the ball game.
Q Is he going to say anything about it today, or see
Reverend Jackson while he's out there?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I don't know if he is going to see
them, but as I said, the President believes that Reverend Jackson has
raised some serious questions, and it's something that, as I said,
even though there has been progress, it's clearly not enough.
Q Did Reverend Jackson ask him not to go to the ball
game?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I'm not sure about that. I believe
the characterization the Reverend Jackson is talking about is an
informational pickett. I don't know that he asked him not to go to
the ball game, but he sent a long, detailed, formal letter outlining
his concerns with the situation in major league baseball and the
President read it.
Q George, the Orioles are playing the Rangers, the
managing partner of the Rangers is George W. Bush. Is he going to be
there, and is he going to meet with the President?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I don't know.
Q What is the Mubarak schedule?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I know that President Mubarak is
coming tomorrow morning for a working meeting, they will have a
lunch, and I believe that he is having dinner tonight with Vice
President Gore.
Q And joint statements tomorrow --
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I believe so, yes. At the end,
yes.
Q Is there evidence, George, that the Egyptians did
warn the U.S. about a potential terrorist bombing -- terrorist
activities?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: As reported in The New York Times,
I mean, I think that President Mubarak did say that there has been
general conversations with the Egyptians, as there have been for a
long period of time. We do have general intelligence sharing, I
mean. But President Mubarak was very careful to point out that there
was no specific information on this visit that was passed forward.
The President will continue to investigate the situation, but he also
reiterates his belief that we cannot tolerate terrorism of any kind.
Q George, he did make specific -- or the Egyptians,
apparently, did issue specific warnings about this individual who,
forgive me --this individual who, forgive me the name escapes me at
the moment, and said the Egyptians were more or less rebuffed in
their attempts to get some kind of action.
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Again, I don't know if I would
agree with your characterization of the Mubarak interview. He did
say that they gave general warnings about the possibility of a
network in the United States and upon which we took appropriate
action. But there was no specific information on this specific
operation at all.
Q So, the White House doesn't feel that any of the
law enforcement agencies whether it be the CIA or FBI who would have
received this kind of information was lax or derelict in its duty in
not pursuing some kind of --
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: No, not at all.
Q What's next with Serbia? It got only a passing
mention in the news conference yesterday --
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: You didn't get to ask your
question.
Q Yes, exactly. Was there any agreement on concerted
action between the two countries? And even if there wasn't, what
does the U.S. do next?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I think the U.S. is clearly going
to move forward in the U.N. today continuing discussions with our
allies on a sanctions resolution and we'll continue to look for ways
to press the Serbians to come to the negotiating table and sign an
agreement.
Q George, why do you think sanctions is still an
option? I mean the Serbians make it clear that at least the
leadership is surviving just fine and they feel like they can wait
you out and even the administration officials we had in the other day
said there's no evidence that they're going to have an effect any
time soon. The Bosnian Serbs have said no to the peace plan. When
does no mean no and you have to do something different?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, I mean we are doing something
different. We're moving forward on further sanctions through the
U.N. and those discussions will continue. We're going to continue to
try and tighten the noose on Serbia, and I think that every
opportunity we have to do that will have an effect over time.
Q Are we looking again at lifting the arms embargo?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: The President has said that this is something
that is under consideration.
Q George, do you have any more on Hugh Rodham's
condition, how he's doing?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: As far as I know nothing's changed.
Q George, -- week after Mr. Mubarak?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a little unclear. I think
we'll be able to get you more either tonight or tomorrow morning
after the Mubarak visit.
Q Is he going somewhere for Easter?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Not that I know of.
Q What more can you tell us about the additional aid
to Russia that the President plans to ask Congress about?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: He's going to be consulting with
the Congress and with our G-7 partners over the next couple of weeks.
I know that he spoke last evening with Congressman Gephardt and their
delegation before the -- the congressional delegation meets with the
Russians this week and those consultations will continue over the
next several weeks.
Q Do you expect that package to be of the magnitude
of the one announced Sunday?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I'm not going to discuss the
magnitude.
Q How about the list of Cold War restrictions, where
do you stand on that --
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: As the President said yesterday,
he's going to be looking for that list from the Congress this week
and reviewing it. He believes -- he's going to try and get it this
week and he's going to review the list, and we're going to take a
hard look at it.
Q But they're making it up? I mean it's no White
House involvement, Congress is compiling this list?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I think he's going to talk to the
congressional leaders about compiling the list but I'm certain we'll
be able to get our own researchers working as well.
Q George, isn't lifting the arms embargo more of a
probability than a possibility?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: It's something that's under
discussion.
Q Secretary Christopher has said that it's a matter
of time and -- for months before that happens.
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Again, all I can say is that it's
something that the President is reviewing. Right now we're working
with our allies in the U.N on a sanctions resolution, and we'll
continue to review other matters.
Q George, can you tell us anything about the schedule
this week? Any travel?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: They just asked about that. I
don't have anything more beyond tomorrow's visit with Mubarak right
now.
Q Are there consultations, George, with any Jewish
American organizations concerning Jackson-Vanick?
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: As you know the National Conference
of Soviet Jewry has a list of, I believe,
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: -- as you know, the National
Conference of Soviet Jewry has a list of, I believe, 200 Refuseniks.
We'll certainly take a look at that and continue appropriate
discussions.
Thanks.

Not due to the accident -- he just got a (really) bad haircut. Now, if you

Just a shot here, but ya never know:
I once bought a (REAL) cheap equalizer / power amp for my car tape player
at one of those motel-room truckload sales, and it sounded great. For a
while, that is. Then one channel quit entirely. I opened it up, and the
amplifier chip for the bad channel had simply melted some of its solder
joints attaching it to the PCB. I soldered them back and it worked fine.
I just had to keep the volume a bit lower than I did before. Probably
lousy heat sinking.
You said "a nice Alpine" which I'm sure is a few orders of mag higher
in quality than the P.O.S. I had. But the point is - look inside before
you scrap it, since you OCCASIONALLY find something you can repair.
Maybe even the same thing I found.

Many of you at this point have seen a copy of the
Lunar Resources Data Purchase Act by now. This bill, also known as the Back to
the Moon bill, would authorize the U.S.
government to purchase lunar science data from private
and non-profit vendors, selected on the basis of competitive bidding, with an
aggregate cap on bid awards of $65 million.
If you have a copy of the bill, and can't or don't want to go through
all of the legalese contained in all Federal legislation,don't both - you have
a free resource to evaluate the bill for you. Your local congressional office,
listed in the phone book,is staffed by people who can forward a copy of the
bill to legal experts. Simply ask them to do so, and to consider supporting
the Lunar Resources Data Purchase Act.
If you do get feedback, negative or positive, from your congressional
office, please forward it to: David Anderman
3136 E. Yorba Linda Blvd., Apt G-14, Fullerton, CA 92631,
or via E-Mail to: David.Anderman@ofa123.fidonet.org.
Another resource is your local chapter of the National Space Society.
Members of the chapter will be happy to work with you to evaluate and support
the Back to the Moon bill. For the address and telephone number of the nearest
chapter to you, please send E-mail, or check the latest issue of Ad Astra, in
a library near you.
Finally, if you have requested, and not received, information about
the Back to the Moon bill, please re-send your request. The database for the
bill was recently corrupted, and some information was lost. The authors of the
bill thank you for your patience.

Not only is it effective, it is in fact the drug of choice for
