Actualy the tension between followers of Allah and Yahwe split long before us poor westerners were doing much more than getting naked, painting oursleves blue, and stabing each other with bronze and iron rods. While it is true the modern political scene has exacerbated the situation, it is untrue that it was the causation. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.

PRESS RELEASE: Data Fellows Introduces F-Secure NameSurfer Version 2.0
by Marita Näsman-Repo 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

For your information: ####################################################### Data Fellows Introduces F-Secure NameSurfer Version 2.0 SAN JOSE, CA -- Data Fellows, the global leader in Internet security solutions, has today announced the new version 2.0 of its F-Secure NameSurfer DNS (Domain Name System) management tool. DNS translates host names to IP addresses and is a critical component of any IP based network. F-Secure NameSurfer provides network managers an easy- to-use Web interface for DNS administration, saving time and maintenance resources. Its intuitive graphical user interface and automatic error checking prevent network managers from generating faulty DNS data. Faulty DNS data can bring down the entire IP network, so correctness of DNS data is essential for reliable and secure Internet and intranets. F-Secure NameSurfer 2.0 has been extensively restructured to achieve peerless performance in the markets, especially in large DNS installations. The new version also makes it possible to prevent the network manager from creating address records whose IP address falls outside his own network. Thus, ISPs can give their customers the permission to change addresses and still be sure that customers stay in their own network zone. F-Secure NameSurfer translates into significant savings in network management. The intuitive graphical user interface saves network managers' time in doing DNS configurations. The configurations can be done remotely and by multiple network managers with personal administration rights. The routine tasks can be delegated to clerical staff. Ultimately even end-users or ISP customers can administer their own DNS data, with a Web browser, as a self-service. Prime target customer groups for F-Secure NameSurfer are telecommunication operators, Internet Service Providers (ISP), and other organizations that need the best tool in the markets to manage Internet or intranet security. Among F-Secure NameSurfer customers are ISPs like US WEST INTERACT, Concentric Network Corporation, and The Finnish University and Research Network, as well as international corporate customers such as Barclays Bank PLC, Motorola Semiconductor Product Services, and UPM-Kymmene. F-Secure NameSurfer 2.0 is now available from Data Fellows' resellers around the world. The product is available for all the popular Unix platforms. Pricing starts at $990. With offices in San Jose, CA, and Helsinki, Finland, privately-owned Data Fellows is the leading technology provider of data security solutions for computer networks and desktop computers. The company's F-Secure data security product line includes the groundbreaking F-Secure Anti-Virus, which facilitates two of the world's best scanning engines, F-PROT Professional and AVP, within the same system for unparalleled virus detection rates; F-Secure SSH for securing all popular TCP/IP applications; and F-Secure VPN for creating secure virtual private networks. The company's products are relied on by many of the world's largest companies, governments, universities and institutions. The products are available world-wide in more than 80 countries through Data Fellows and its business partners. For more information, please contact USA: Data Fellows Inc.

Springfield Medical Center
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Alia, Thanks for the update on CJ. Please keep us informed. More on CJ's music and how to get it, and help promote it, would be welcomed. It sounds wonderfully rude and vulgar, all right! Below is a 1994 thumbnail description of the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, taken from a long, critical report on prisoner health care with more on the Springfield facility available at: http://jya.com/hehs-94-36.txt (81K) Bureau of Prisons Health Care: Inmates' Access to Health Care Is Limited by Lack of Clinical Staff (Letter Report, 02/10/94, GAO/HEHS-94-36). [Excerpt] SPRINGFIELD MEDICAL REFERRAL CENTER MISSION OF REFERRAL CENTER The U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri, is one of the Bureau of Prisons' six referral centers that treat male medical, surgical, and mental health patients. LOCATION AND CONDITION OF FACILITY The Springfield Medical Referral Center is an administrative facility, meaning it is equipped to house inmates of all security levels. It was built about 1933. Inmates live in six connected buildings, each of two or three stories. The medical facilities are concentrated in four of the six buildings. The acute and chronic care medical and surgical patients are housed in units that resemble typical hospital rooms, except that several rooms in each unit have locked doors. These locked cells are used for patients who are (1) dangerous to staff or other inmates, (2) participating in the federal witness protection program, or (3) waiting for their custody status to be determined. The mental health patients are housed in units that resemble typical prison cell blocks with one-man cells. Springfield also has a unit that can contain up to 37 inmates in individual locked cells for disciplinary or protective reasons. NUMBER OF INMATES AND PATIENTS SERVED Springfield serves approximately 1,120 inmates, including 439 patients who require medical or surgical care and 294 who need psychiatric care. The medical and surgical care is provided to about 46 acute care patients, 54 patients receiving renal dialysis, and 393 other chronic or recovering patients. The mental health population includes 177 treatment patients and 117 forensic inmates who are being evaluated for their mental ability to stand trial. NUMBER AND TYPE OF MEDICAL BEDS The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations rates Springfield as a 46-bed acute care and 177-bed mental health hospital. NUMBER AND TYPE OF STAFF POSITIONS AUTHORIZED AND FILLED In July 1993, Springfield had 279 authorized health care positions, including 5 psychiatrists, 15 medical/surgical physicians, an optometrist, 12 physician assistants, 127 nurses, 9 pharmacists, 12 psychologists, 6 quality assurance staff, 10 medical records staff, and 82 other health care staff. At that time, 18 positions were vacant, including 3 medical physicians, a surgeon, a psychiatrist, a physician assistant, 10 nurses, 1 medical records staff, and 1 other health care staff. The following specialists were working at Springfield: 3 general practitioners, 4 psychiatrists, 2 internists, 2 neurologists, 1 physiatrist, 1 anesthesiologist, 1 orthopedic surgeon, and 1 chief of health programs. Physicians and physician assistants are available 24 hours a day. However, physicians generally work from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. During the evening and night shifts and on weekends, one physician, one psychiatrist, and one psychologist are on call. Physician assistants are available in the facility 16 hours a day. Nurses are responsible for medical care between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Nursing service is provided 24 hours a day. STAFF ORGANIZATION The Associate Warden for Medical Services supervises most of Springfield's health care staff, including nurses and technicians. The Clinical Director is responsible for the internal medicine physicians, psychiatrists, surgeons, dentists, physician assistants, the quality assurance coordinator, utilization manager, and infection-control practitioners. The Associate Warden for Mental Health Services is responsible for the psychologists and social workers who work with the mental health patients.

It seems to me that after reviewing your comments this would be sufficient. We have a small pool of fuel that is on fire, we spray water on it and monitor the behaviour.

Actualy it's to keep the water from forming 'beads' because of differences in density. The surface tension of water is much higher than most fuels so if you put a little water in a lot of fuel you don't want it to bead. This is analogouse to why you put your injector cleaner in *before* the gas so that the difference in density won't effect the thoroughness of the mixing. You can do the same sort of thing at home with cooking oil, water, and detergent. As to water floating on top of gasoline, it won't for any lentgh of time greater than a fraction of a second, detergent or no detergent. > Actually, by using solar heating/cooling techiques instead of > (ineffecient) conversion to electicity, you can save MUCH more energy.

Sorry Jim, slip of the wrist. Hydroelectric turbines generate electric power. Feed this into the power grid; well, maybe until the end of next year. Maybe after 2000 we'll see the un-nationalization of the national power grid. Bay of Fundy is >50 (?) square miles and tidal range is 25feet, one of the largest in the world.

Bay of Fundy would be appropriate. Figure the volume of the Bay from low tide and the highest tide. Then figure the time needed to fill. From this you can calculate the maximum amount of energy available. If you live near the Bay I suppose it would work, won't help the folks 50 miles away though... The goal is to find a renewable, generaly available source of energy so that geographic proximity is irrelevant. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.

I don't think so. I've seen hemp burn and it don't burn > anywhere near that efficiently. I'm begining to lose track of this thread. Are we talking about: 1) reducing fossil fuel use for conservation? (not something Cypherpunks mention a lot :-) 2) ways of cutting the imported fuel requirement of "western" countries in order to save money and/or teach the Arabs a lesson? (cf the sideline about Israel) 3) how to live with as little interaction as possible with the the existing state or corporate economy? 4) what we do for fuel if the balloon goes up, the lights go out, the crash comes & we are in an "Earth Abides" scenario? i.e everyone has died, or gone away, or stopped working for money and we ahve to survive as best we can? If (1) or (2) then reducing fuel consumption is a damn sight more cost-effective than substituting anything else for motor gas. You know, insulation, designing buildings for the climate, high fuel taxes, subsidised public transport... all the things us lefty Europeans like bit that don't go down well in Houston, Texas. I take Jim's point about solar-powered houses being a money pit - although there does seem to be some medium-term benefit in glass cladding for passive solar heating (known to our ancestors as "conservatories" :-) And if (2) is what you mean then you probably ought to carry on paying the dollars to those Arabs so they carry on spending them on American products - like McDonalds and Disney and MS Windows. Cultural imperialism works wonders. For every Muslim for whom America is the great Satan there is another for whom it is the home of Elvis. Or the Simpsons. Or Charley Pride. Or even Jim Reeves. You wouldn't believe how much Jim Reeves you hear in Africa. For (3) again the easy way is to arrange your lifestyle to consume less. I expect if you are distilling fuel-grade alcohol in your yard the local equivalent of customs and excise will want a word with you. If you are going to burn plant material for fuel don't bother with oil. Either distill the alcohol (if you are in a warmish climate like southern California you can probably get the best yields from cane - but it sucks up water like a herd of hungry camels) or burn wood. In a temperate climate you probably get the best yields from coppiced trees - use whatever grows in your local area and coppices well. Willow grown in wetlands does well. The yield of burnable biomass is far better than most herbaceous crops. Use hazel, birch even oak. Leaves make animal feed, stouter poles are for timber, thinner ones for burning - if you need higher temperature make charcoal out of it. Lots of use for the bark as well. Just like our ancestors used to do before all this industry. Of course you won't be able to run a car on it... for that you need the alcohol. If we did get thrown back to a mediaeval economy those of us who survived probably would be growing hemp (you heard it here first) but not as a fuel crop. Hemp has great yields but it isn't much cop as fuel It was one of the major crops in England a thousand years ago - in some pollen studies it was the major crop. That's not for recreational or medicinal use (you don't need acres of it for that) but as animal feed and for fibre, with fuel as a useful byproduct. Probably not as an an oil crop & if it was it would probably be cooking oil. > I also notice it doesn't mention what it costs to raise that 4 tons/acre... Clearly more than getting oil from out of the ground. That's why my employers are still in business. There were some Welsh hill farmers on the radio the other day asking more more subsidy from the government. Apparently their average income is now only about 10,000 UKP a year (maybe 16,000 USD). They were complaining that their fathers and grandfathers used to be able to get a living from the land, but they can't, and they were blaming the "global market" and urban-dominated governments who didn't understand farming. Of course the truth is that they can live the way their grandfathers lived if they want to. But in the last 100 years *everyone* *else* has got richer and the way of life of a small farmer in the Welsh hills now looks like poverty. And there is nothing (other than the law) to stop someone with 30 acres and a cow from growing their hemp and their willow withies (in Wales) or their cotton and their cane (in California) and riding their own horse and making their own clothes and having almost nothing to do with the rest of the modern economy. But they won't be able to have a car, or a computer and if they get any modern medicine it will be on welfare. We probably ought to know *how* to live like that, just in case things really fall apart. (I remember once having to show someone how to squat over a hole-in-the-ground latrine because he had only ever used bogs with seats) . But don't look forward to it.

Well don't forget crop rotation since the hemp is going to deplete the soil if you simply grow three crops a year (which is possible this far south). There is also the issue of water, hemp is a plant that needs lots of water and is very sensitive to light levels/times, tempearture and pH. Hemp also leeches nitrogen quite heavily. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder. Ancient Persian Proverb The Armadillo Group ,::////;::-.

Are we talking about: Well if we really, really must go back there....;) What I was originaly looking to discuss was the impact of the injection of a globaly available, economical, and effective replacement of petroleum products on the international relationships. In particular the impact on places like Isreal, Iran, US, etc. The only real relevance this has to cypherpunks is from the economics side (why I've been trying to stay on topic with the economics comments in parens) and how such a shift of economic and industrial capabilites out of centralized and nationaly controlled geographies might impact these same countries ability to remain stable and the consequences of such. Take Kuwait for example, the impact there would be devistating. And like a domino effect (or want of a nail...) the repurcussions can be imagined to run up the food chain. It is related, though not directly, to an issue that I was engaged in several days ago about Gibson and the relationships of governments, individuals, large companies, technology development, etc. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.

Traceroute doesn't use DNS? Whatever. And it's ICMP, Internet Control Management Protocol. The original traceroute works by sending User Datagram Protocol (UDP) datagrams (default 3) to an invalid port address of a remote host, starting with a Time-To-Live (TTL) of 1 causing the first router in the path to return an ICMP Time Exceeded Message (TEM), traceroute increments the TTL by one (up the max hop count, default 30) and resends, reaching the next router, until an ICMP Destination Unreachable Message is returned indicating the unreachable port on the destination host. The IP addresses of the hops are determined by the return packet headers, there is no hostname. Reverse DNS lookup is used to give you the host names, which can be turned on or off in the traceroute options (it's much faster if you turn it off). Traceroute was a diagnostic kludge. RFC 1393 describes and ICMP-based traceroute function, whereby traceroute sends an ICMP trace message (see the RFC for details) but there is still no hostname on the return packet, DNS is still used. Certain ICMP messages are often disabled and/or certain ports blocked or "shaped" by routers under thresholds to prevent common Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks.

This from the AZ court docket of September 2 (note the out of sequence entry date for the first item which was not there when we got the docket on September 2 although the last two were): 8/25/98 6 ( FILED: 8/31/98) MINUTES: before Mag Judge Nancy Fiora Court telephonically notified that Carl Johnson is defecating in his food tray, mutilating himself and writing on the walls with his blood; court notes that dft spat upon officers while awaiting his initial appearance[cc: all cnsl] [6-1] re: minute entry [6-1] (sms) [Entry date 09/02/98] 8/26/98 -- ORAL MOTION for Psychiatric exam [0-0] by Carl Edward Johnson (sms) [Entry date 08/27/98] 8/26/98 5 ORDER by Mag Judge Nancy Fiora granting motion for Psychiatric exam [0-0] Psychiatric examination ordered for Carl Edward Johnson (sms) [Entry date 08/27/98] ---------- The AZ docket is archived at: http://jya.com/cej090298.htm We also got today the Western Washington court docket which shows when CJ's arrest warrant was issued and sealed, August 5: http://jya.com/cej082298.htm We did a quick check of the WA court's cases for others (TCM and JYA) who may have a sealed arrest warrant in force, but found none. But if there are any they may not be entered in the public record yet, as with Carl's performance artistry.

IP: Dave Barry: "Funny Money"

Naturally my first move was to verify, via chemical analysis, that it was genuine. There has been a sharp increase in the number of counterfeit Treasury Department press releases, as an embarrassed CNN found out last month when it reported, incorrectly, that Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan does all the voices on the popular cartoon show South Park. (In fact, he does only Kenny and Mr. Hankey.) But this particular press release turned out to be authentic; it announced that, this fall, we'll be seeing a new, redesigned $20 bill. This is part of an anti-counterfeiting program to redesign all of our old currency, which has become too easy to duplicate with modern color photocopiers -- a fact that was made all too clear when the Xerox Corp., in its 1997 annual report, reported profits of ``$850 trillion, mostly in 50s.'' Why does counterfeit money represent a threat to the nation? And how can we, as consumers, be sure that we have spelled ``counterfeit'' correctly? To answer these questions, we need to understand exactly what money is, and what makes it valuable. Back in ancient times, when people were much stupider than they are today, there was no such thing as money. People transacted business by trading actual, physical things. For example, if you sold a cow, the buyer would pay for it by giving you, say, 14 physical ducks. Even in those days, that was a lot of ducks to be carrying around, and the bank wouldn't let you deposit them, because they fought with the chickens. Also the automatic teller machines were disgusting. Finally, the ancient Egyptians got sick of this and invented the first unit of paper currency, called the `simoleon.'' The way the Egyptians explained the concept to their trading partners was: ``For your convenience, we're going to start paying you with these pieces of paper, which are valuable because they have a picture of Ulysses Grant.'' The trading partners were not crazy about this concept, but they went along with it, because the Egyptians had also invented spears. Today, the basic principle remains the same: We trust money because our government stands behind it. A counterfeit $20 bill is a worthless piece of paper backed by nothing; whereas a real $20 bill, issued by the Treasury Department, has value, because any time you want, you can take it to Fort Knox, site of the federal gold bullion depository, and exchange it, no questions asked, for a duck. Try it yourself! If they give you any trouble, mention my name, Art Buchwald. But the point is that, starting this fall, you're going to start seeing a drastically redesigned $20 bill. Among the major changes are: -- To thwart would-be photocopiers, instead of saying ``TWENTY DOLLARS,'' the new $20 bills say ``FIFTEEN DOLLARS.'' -- The Nike swoosh has been enlarged. -- The engraved portrait of Andrew Jackson has been given a new, up-to-date hairstyle, patterned, according to the Treasury Department press release, ``after Barry Manilow.'' President Jackson also has been given a vivacious new facial expression that seems to say: ``I am looking good, and I am READY TO PARTY with the engraved portraits on other currency denominations!'' -- On the back of the bill, in the engraving of the White House, on the far right-hand side, in the engraved shrubbery, is a tiny crouching engraving of Kenneth Starr. -- For verification purposes, the new bill is impregnated with plutonium particles that emit a distinctive pattern of atomic radiation. ``This poses absolutely no health danger whatsoever to humans,'' notes the Treasury Department press release, which adds: ``Do not ever put the bill in your pocket.'' These improvements, plus the top-secret ``auto-detonate'' feature that I am not allowed to mention in this column, will make the new $20 bill -- which is costing the government $348.50 per unit to manufacture -- the most advanced anti-counterfeit currency in the world. But the whole effort will be wasted unless you, the consumer, do your part by keeping a sharp eye out for ``funny money.'' The Treasury Department is asking that you regularly inspect all of your bills, of all denominations. If you notice anything suspicious -- according to the press release, this especially means ``foreign words, men in wigs, strings of numbers, a greenish coloring or some kind of weird eyeball floating over a pyramid'' -- you should immediately put the suspect bills into an envelope and mail them to: The U.S. Treasury Department Anti-Counterfeit Task Force, c/o Dave Barry, The Miami Herald, Miami, Fla. 33132. Please help. Only by joining together to fight this thing can we, as a nation, buy me a giant mansion with servants and a lake. It will have ducks. Thank you.

Youser, this is a plan to have every fireman and policeman in Austin show up at my house Saturday afternoon isn't it (you crafty devil you)?...

Well in petroleum fires it isn't the liquid that burns but the very thin gas layer just above it. You can actualy put a gas fire out with a wash of gasoline. It's got to literaly be thrown on the fire and it needs to be much larger than the quantity of material being burned. The soap/water combo act as a layer reducing the outgassing and hence starving the fire of fuel. It also lowers the temperature also helping the fire fighting (remember temperature, fuel, oxidizer). The bubbles of water than form, without the soap, sink to the bottem of the spilled fuel and play no part in the fire/fire-fighting process. > A "friend" of my fathers has been heating his home with it longer > than I've known him, and that's about 20 years.

What happens when we expand his system to cover a small city of say 10k and include schools, hospitals, business, etc.? What are the costs to install and operate compared to traditional methods? If he lives in a wood house in Alaska that won't work, if he lives in a mud hut in the desert of Nevada all you need is a straw mat, a fan, and some water to cool (yeah I know that's a literal exageration, but environment does play a role). There's this house here in Austin that is thermo-regulated by a fluid that is pumped several hundred feet into a hill. The temperature in the core of the hill stays about 68F year around, his house stays around 72 or so year around as a consequence. Unfortunately, we don't have enough hills in Austin (and if you've never been to Austin, we're nothing but hills) to take care of the entire city. The heat from your neighbors house ends up in your house and vica versa. > Question, when you said that there we'd need more land under > production than we have available to produce enough CHO3 (IIRC) to replace > oil, was that using current corn/soybean as a base material, or was that > considering higher biomass stuff such as Hemp &etc. As well, where was that > number from? I suspect (and that's all it is) that when one takes the population growth rate, requirements for water, transportation, housing, commercial enterprises, waste, etc. there won't be enough arrible land left to grow sufficient quantities of any plant material for anything except food. There are issues with clathrates as well. Such as the fact these materials are also the result of decay of animal matter and some percentage of outgassing on the sea bed from deep geo-sources and ultimitely face the same sort of issues with petroleum *if* the various curves don't match. The question is, and I admit to have no hard data other than supposition, what are/would be the curves if we used clathrates? Is the deposition rate sufficient given a global extraction rate that was positive over time? Does the increase in bio-mass as a result of population growth compensate sufficiently? I don't know and really would be hesitant to try to put real numbers to that with what references I have available currently. And given my current commitment level I'm not likely to spend a great deal of time working on it to solidify the model. I support diversity as well, unfortunately in some instances it's more economical (with the inclusion of waste and other issues normaly ignored) to go with a single solution on large scales. And that after all is the issue, not one house out of 10,000 but all 10,000. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.

Tuesday, October 6, 1998 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA For most of this century, the fusion of intellectual property and media was enough to ensure that its owners could reasonably be expected to profit from its consumption. Most people didn't have the means to lift Ella Fitzgerald's music from her records, so fans of her music would actually have to go out and buy her records. Today, a high proportion of ordinary households have the technical capacity at hand to take recordings, visual or audio artifacts and executables, digitize them if need be, and transmit it to millions of people overnight over the Internet. This state of affairs could signal the demise of the software and entertainment industries. Evolving almost as quickly as the interlopers' sophistication in aquiring and distributing ill-gained wares, however, are technical solutions to foil pirates, technologies of varying potency and adaptability. Standard specifications for license management systems that prevent unauthorized use of software have been drafted by the X/Open Group this summer; watermarking systems and digital wrappers that allow creatives to either mark or encapsulate images and sounds to frustrate infringers have been on the market for the past few years; comprehensive smart wrapper systems like InterTrust and C-dilla promise persistent protection for all digital artifacts; and at least one system TriArche Research Group has reviewed under NDA can prevent the most all non-photographic copying of content presented in a Web browser. Meanwhile, policing technologies like Online Monitoring Service's WebSentry can locate pirated intellectual property on the Web and in Usenet news groups. None of these technologies are perfect but, as they mature, they will make it far more difficult for infringers to take control of intellectual property and to share it with their contemporaries. The Web might never lower its shrinkage rate to that of, say, Wal-Mart but merchants in this medium already have many of the tools they need to clean up this digital Barbary Coast. Peter Cassidy is an IT industry writer and analyst at large: Mr. Cassidy, director of research at his own firm, TriArche Research Group, has engaged consulting clients in North America and the Middle East. As well, Mr. Cassidy contracts as an information technology analyst with other industrial research firms, researching topics as varied as network security, multimedia applications and international telephony markets, among them, Strategy Analytics, Giga Information Group, Decision Resources, Dataquest, Business Research Group, The American Institute for Business Research and CI-InfoCorp. Mr. Cassidy writes under his own name for international business publications and general readership magazines such as WIRED, Covert Action Quarterly, InformationWeek, CIO Magazine, The Economist, Forbes ASAP, Software Developer & Publisher Magazine, Silicon Strategies, The Texas Observer, The Progressive, Telepath Magazine, American Banker, Datamation, Computerworld, World Trade Magazine, and the National Security Institute Advisory. Mr. Cassidy has been interviewed about technology issues on several broadcast radio programs in the United States and, appropriately enough, on C|Net Radio, an international Internet-based audio network. His reportage on national political affairs has been reprinted in college text books and anthologies. He has also contracted as a consultant to syndicated television magazine programs in the United States and Britain. This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, October 6, 1998, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $32.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, various A/V hardware, and the speaker's lunch. ;-). The Harvard Club *does* have dress code: jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and "appropriate business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your lunch if the Club finds you in violation of the dress code. We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, October 3rd, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $32.50. Please include your e-mail address, so that we can send you a confirmation If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out.

Distribution copyright covers first-sale only, after that the owner can lend or sell that item. If it were not for this, public and private libraries could not exist.

Declan, I did look up your stuff on the internet and thanks. I'm writing to let you know that as of yesterday it has been 14 days since the court (Judge Fior) ordered CJ moved to a psychiatric facility and they still have not moved him. No one has heard from him for a few days. I talked to him last week and he was okay but going through some hard times. Bogart, the lawyer in Tucson, if he does not hear about CJ's move by romorrow will request a hearing demanding what is going on. But the prison is not cooperative in communicating even with him. Cj has apparently not got it together to put me on the visitors list but he seems not to have got my mail with my SS # etc. that the prison requires in order to let visitors come. Then they spend ten days establishing that you're not a criminal. Jesus. Any the lawyer does think that he will be moved to Springfield. The family is in terror that he will disappear into there or be committed for a long time or for life. I have asked his Texas lawyer Dowling, just today, whether we can retain him to represent Cj's interest with respect to what is happening with the psychiatric evaluation, and haven't heard back from him yet. I am writing to ask you to help me: will you point me to information on Springfield, its reputation, rules, accessibility of information on how patients/inmates are being treated, etc.? Any information you can help me locate would be very welcome. Thanks. Alia J P.S. I saw the request for a picture/cd of music, whatever, I'll look. Here are a couple of his porno country/western song titles: "turning good girls bad, most fun I ever had." "I'll give you my heart, but my dick belongs to mama." "there's no niggers left in Oakland, and all myh lies are true." C.J. also wrote some absolutely beautiful lyric songs, and of course his classic "Jesus Lives in Garberville" about a dope raid on the long-haired barefoot blissed-out guy living on the land.... What's your mailing address? And thanks again for your help, and for contacting CJ. He was happy to hear that we had talked. But I think he's not getting all his mail.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ======================================= NEWS FROM THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY 2600 Virginia Avenue, NW, Suite 100 Washington DC 20037 ======================================= For release: September 9, 1998 ======================================= For additional information: George Getz, Press Secretary Phone: (202) 333-0008 Ext. 222 E-Mail: 76214.3676(a)Compuserve.com ======================================= Forget ignorant teenagers: Let's send politicians to the Constitution Museum WASHINGTON, DC -- Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell's plan to build a museum dedicated to the Constitution should be approved, the Libertarian Party says -- provided that every Congressman and Senator is required to take classes there. "Educating ordinary Americans about freedom and individual rights is important, but educating politicians is absolutely essential -- because only they have the power to write laws that threaten your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness," said Ron Crickenberger, national director of the Libertarian Party. Crickenberger's comments came in response to Rendell's request to the Senate Appropriations Committee last week for $65 million to pay half the cost of a museum designed to educate Americans about the Constitution. To buttress his argument that Americans are "ignorant about government," Rendell cited a survey of 600 teenagers showing that more of them could name the Three Stooges (59%) than could name the three branches of government (41%), and that while 74% could name the city where cartoon character Bart Simpson lives (Springfield), just 12% know where Abraham Lincoln lived (Springfield). Building the museum in Philadelphia, Rendell said, would help reverse "the tide of ignorance" that is "absolutely critical to the health of our democracy." Crickenberger countered: "First we need to reverse the tide of ignorance in Congress. After all, in just the last two years, these politicians have violated the First Amendment by trying to censor the Internet, flouted the Second Amendment by passing the Lautenberg gun-control law, and made a mockery of the Fifth Amendment by quietly creating a massive federal database of every employee in America, mandating fingerprints for drivers licenses, and imposing a national ID card. "Politicians who habitually violate the Constitution themselves have no business lecturing ordinary Americans on this subject. Instead, they should practice what they preach -- and be the first ones in line when the National Center on the Constitution opens in Philadelphia. "And instead of hitting up taxpayers for $65 million, members of Congress should pay for it out of their own pockets, or by abolishing some of the unconstitutional agencies they have created," Crickenberger said. For example, he noted, the Pennsylvania delegation could urge Congress to come up with the money by: * Knocking out every unconstitutional pork-barrel project that Rep. Bud Shuster quietly inserted into the $217 billion highway bill that Congress passed in March, such as $800,000 to renovate a historic train station at Gettysburg and $500,000 for a study on sidewalks at the Kennedy Center. * Trimming the $65 billion corporate welfare budget by one-tenth of one percent. * Earmarking just 25% of the paycheck of every Senator and Congressional representative -- and every Capitol Hill staffer making over $100,000 -- for a single session of Congress. * Eliminating just one of the hundreds of unconstitutional federal agencies Congress has created, such as the National Endowment for the Arts, which has a budget of $100 million a year. Then, after attending classes at this museum, members of Congress should have one other requirement, said Crickenberger. "Before graduating from their class on the Constitution, these politicians should be required to prove their knowledge by repealing every unconstitutional law they ever passed," he said. "That's the best way to set an example for American teenagers -- and it doesn't require building another museum in Philadelphia." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNfbSuNCSe1KnQG7RAQE8gAQAvrV8hv96Yfkrz7gOvLXEHtu0aY9zxZ1E wILr9VVw1u2lLig6C/9V8gt1Feio7iCuRvTdG3FI9I9JTvT/Y/QdzLajkNrbHb+V Oa8YTGgTfVAhpF3MX5M6SHiBua5dsYZtUZ5wLnpTE4oiWSI04hrD612Jf+0CZTCH JbaOzaW7wnw= =xN7R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- The Libertarian Party http://www.lp.org/ 2600 Virginia Ave. NW, Suite 100 voice: 202-333-0008 Washington DC 20037 fax: 202-333-0072 For subscription changes, please mail to <announce-request(a)lp.org> with the word "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" in the subject line -- or use the WWW form.
