Subject: mutal funds proxy votes

I am writing to voice my strong support for SEC regulation that would require 
mutual fund companies to disclose how they vote on proxies for companies they 
hold in their portfolios.  As an investor, I want to know what decisions my 
dollars are supporting.  As a citizen, after the economic fiascoes of the last 
year, I am convinced that transparency and accountability in business dealings 
are now more important than ever.
 
Sincerely,

Flying ihe Koop

U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop,
who got his present job at the urging of pro-
life forces in and around the fledgling Rea-
gan administration and who has scarcely
been heard from on that issue since, had one
doozy of a bomb for his old supporters last
week. `IMng aim at AIDS, he recommended
sex education starting in third grade, with
detailed information about homosexuality
starting in junior high school. A more com-
plete case of mental takeover by the Wash-
ington establishment is probably not on re-
cord.

By way of introducing his new study on
the subject, Dr. Koop observed that many
people, especially young people, "are not re-
ceiving information that is vital to their fu-
ture health and well-being because of our
reticence in dealing with the subjects of sex,
sexual practices, and homosexuality" Hmm.
Prom what we have heard about what goes on
in those sex-ed seminars in the public
schools, "reticence" is not exactly the word
that first comes to mind.

`lb be sure, Dr. Koop's course would not be
the usual "value-free" how-to. "Couples who

engage in freewheeling casual sex these days
are playing a dangerous game," he warns.
Perhaps he expects parents to rally behind a
sex-ed program designed to frighten kids
into chastity If so, he misses the point.

Chastity prevents AIDS - agreed. But
fear does not produce chastity Even as Dr.
Koop was speaking, a conference sponsored
by the Department of Health and Human
Services was taking stock of "what works" in
preventing teen-age pregnancy (not the same
issue as AIDS, obviously, but relevant).
There was general agreement that what
works is teaching kids self-esteem and resis-
tance to peer pressure - not merely provid-
ing information.

A compelling case can be made, on the
other hand, that some children are harmed
psychologically when given sexual informa-
tion at too tender an age. As a result of its
transfer of parental roles to institutions -
which would be a dubious project even if it
attained its advertised objectives - the
present generation may be raising its chil-
dren as emotionally handicapped misfits.

Physician, heal thyself.

{description}      
   United States Microgravity Payload-4 (USMP-4) experiments are prepared
   to be flown on Space Shuttle mission STS-87 in the Space Station
   Processing Facility at Kennedy Space Center (KSC).  The large white
   vertical cylinder in the center of the photo is the Advanced Automated
   Directional Solidification Furnace (AADSF) and the horizontal tube to
   the left of it is MEPHISTO, a French acronym for a cooperative
   American-French investigation of the fundamentals of crystal
   growth. Seen at right behind the AADSF in the circular white cover is
   the Isothermal Dendritic Growth Experiment (IDGE), which will be used
   to study the dendritic solidification of molten materials in the
   microgravity environment. All of these experiments are scheduled for
   launch aboard STS-87 on Nov. 19 from KSC.
To my Friends: Thoughts from "On High"
Life on a roller coaster, oscillating from hither to yon,
no respite for the iconoclast, wandering from dusk to dawn.
Conjuring strange thoughts foreign and twice forbidden,
like Prometheus unbound, this Nobelist climbs in vain
to Andean peaks, seeking what most would proclaim insane.
Why, he ponders, are there no answers to protean questions
when others thinking cleanly and simply with Occam's sharp razor
proclaim what seems obvious given the beam of their unerring laser.
Nature, happily unfettered with philosophy, or with cunning, or with intent
moves relentlessly onward or even backward with energy unspent while we
mortals test and probe with twinkling machines blinking precisely at each
movement, striving to unravel Its irresolute randomness, its fathomless,
unlimited, meaningless rush into spiralling chaos, oblivious of its
multitudinous trials Q errors which we pontifically believe must be unerring
truth & resolution.

The laugh is on those who, burdened with pretensions of truth, believe they
can fathom within 15 minutes of human existence after what has transpired
over eons of space and time in this Universe .                     I

So, I extol the intuitions encapsulated in the folds of my mind
from whence occasionly they hurtle to the forebrain and in a twinkling of a
proton's discharge bring to fruition a thought, an idea borne on the feathery
appendages of teeming neurons wedded in a seamless synergy. Those fleeting
moments are cherished as are those precious impulses imparted by the
innumerable individuals who nurtured and instilled unknowingly their
encrypted thoughts with mine.
So, with these fanciful thoughts in mind I give praise to you- my friends, my
colleagues, my soul-mates, my loved ones- for letting my soul and thoughts
meander hither and yonder in this attempt at philosophy and poetry. We
now belong to the Gods on high who praise us for our frailties and our
achievements . . . . . ..Forgive me if I stand alone before King and Queen
. . . . ..Know this, you will be in my thoughts at that festive moment .

With much love and thanks ..,.... Marty R.

A Midsummer Trip to tlie Tropics.
. . . Another hour ; and Martinique looms before us.
At first it appears all gray, a vapory gray ; then it be-
comes bluish-gray ; then all green.
It is another of the beautiful volcanic family : it owns
the same hill shapes with which we have already become
acquainted; its uppermost height is hooded with the fa-
miliar cloud ; we see the same gold-yellow plains, the same
wonderful varieties of verdancy, the same long green spurs
reaching out into the sea,doubtless formed by old lava
torrents. But all this is now repeated for us more impos-
ingly, more grandiosely;it is wrought upon a larger scale
than anything we have yet seen. The semicircular sweep
of the harbor, dominated by the eternally veiled summit
of the Montagne Pele (misnamed, since it is green to the
very clouds), from which the land slopes down on either
hand to the sea by gigantic undulations, is one of the
fairest sights that human eye can gaze upon. Thus view-
ed, the whole island shape is a mass of green, with pur-
plish streaks and shadowings here and there : glooms of
forest-hollows, or moving umbrages of cloud. The city
of St. Pierre, on the edge of the land, looks as if it had
slided down the hill behind it, so strangely do the streets
come tumbling to the port in cascades of masonry,
with a red billowing of tiled roofs over all, and enormous
palms poking up through it,higher even than the creamy
white twin towers of its cathedral.
We anchor in limpid blue water; the cannon-shot is an-
swered by a prolonged thunder-clapping of mountain echo.
Then from the shore a curious flotilla bears down upon
us. There is one boat, two or three canoes ; but the bulk
of the craft are simply wooden frames,  flat-bottomed
structures, made from shipping-cases or lard-boxes, with
triangular ends. In these sit naked boys,boys between
ten and fourteen years of age,varying in color from
a fine clear yellow to a deep reddish - brown or choco-
late tint.    They row with two little square, flat pieces of

Dear Aaron,

You ask in your retter of October 21st LAOW Z arrived at my

interpretation of yourrsuggestion for the packing of the crystals.
The argument went as follows,

   I assumed that there had to be one dyad axis. For simplicity
I chose this to be the shorter; that is, along a. Thus one nucleo-
some haditilits dyad exactly parallet to a. To bring the DNA helices
of the other two into phase with the first one and to gi e an

one needs to put their dyads roughly parallet to the first one.
(Naturally if they are exact1 parallel one gets a shorter repeat,)

might be the same as the relationship in a solenoid with about 6
nucleosomes per turn. This implies that the dyads would have an
gngle of about 60 between them. One can get this by tipping one up
30 and the other down 30Q.

arrangement which look& koughly like 6 turns in the 340 3i repeat
I then assumed that the __1__y. re ationship of these two dyads -- to each other

   I don'& accept your screwing-down arguement because I can see
no strong reason why the ncercleosoreres should be screwed down in the
crystal packing. What is necessary to give the sort of pattern you
have is that the DNA in the necleosomes should everywhere be not far
from a regular helix with about 6 turns - or so I surmise if I
have remembered the diffration pattern more or less correctly.
However, there is no reason to suppose that even the DNA inoone
nucleosome accurately follows a helix, I could have the ends sBlayed
up or splayed down, as explained in my earlier note, Clearly the
DWA "helix" in the crystal is unlikely to be completely regular or
you would have no spots on the axis.

   My feeling is that there are so many degrees of freedom that
however good a guess you make only an isomorphous replacement can
decide the issue.

The mission-school hospital, chapel, and architectural buildings occupied much of the tourists' time, and some were deeply interested. There are eighteen missionaries in Sitka, under the Presbyterian jurisdiction, trying to educate and Christianize the Indians. They are doing a noble work, but it does seem a hopeless task when one goes among the Indian homes, sees the filth, smells the vile odors, and studies the native habits.
These Indians, like the other tribes, are not poor, but all have more or less money.
MANY ARE RICH,
having more than $20,000 in good hard cash, yet the squalor in which they live would indicate the direst poverty.
The stroll to Indian river, from which the town gets its water supply, is bewitching. The walk is made about six feet through an evergreen forest, the trees arching overhead, for a distance of two miles, and is close to the bay, and following the curve in a most picturesque circle. The water is carried in buckets loaded on carts and wheeled by hand, for horses are almost unknown in Alaska. There are probably not more than half a dozen horses and mules in all Alaska-not so much because of the expense of transportation and board, as lack of roads and the long, dark days and months of winter, when people do not go out but very little. All the packing is done in all sections of Alaska by natives carrying the packs and supplies on their backs.
Sitka's most interesting object is the old Greek church, located in the middle of the town, and also in the middle of the street. Its form is that of a Greek cross, with a copper-covered dome, surmounted by a chime.bell tower. The inside glitters with gold and rare paintings, gold embroidered altar cloths and robes; quaint candelabra of solid silver are suspended in many nooks, and an air of sacred quiet pervades the whole building.  There were no seats, for the Russians remain standing during the worship. Service is held every Sabbath by a Russian priest in his native language, and the church is still supported by the Russian Government. Indeed, Russia does more for the advancement of religion than does our own Government for Alaska.
The walk through the Indian ranch was but a repetition of the other towns, only that they were wealthier and uglier, if possible, than the other tribes. The Hydahs are very powerfully built, tall, large boned, and stout.
Two days were spent in visiting and trafficking with these people. Then the anchor came up, and soon a silver trail like a huge sea serpent moved among the green isles, and followed us once more-now on the homeward sail.

Subject: Proposed Regulation FD, File No. S7-31-99
 
I am writing to urge that this proposed rule be adopted.  Reading Mr. 
Kaswell's comments (filename: kaswell1.htm) has spurred me to send this 
note.  I won't try to answer all the points in his message but it is his 
first point in particular that angers me.  
     
As I read it, he is saying that the public is not smart enough and/or informed 
enough to handle the amount of "raw" information that would be available to 
investors if the proposed rule were adopted, and that investors need to have 
analysts to "screen" this data.  I respectfully submit that this is completely 
illogical and has more to do with preserving his self-interests and the people 
on whose behalf he is lobbying.  
     
The chief objection to this argument is that it's not for Mr. Kaswell or any 
one else in the business of securities analysis to decide whether the public 
is capable of handling equal access to information about public securities. 
It's a patent conflict of interest for him to say such a thing.  Let the 
public decide whether or not they are capable of evaluating the information.
 How can we ever become informed enough to make intelligent decisions if we
don't have access to all information? He claims to be concerned about people 
making informed decisions, and yet objects to giving us equal access to 
information.  That is illogical and even Orwellian.
     
If it were true that this proposed rule would make it more difficult for the 
indiviual investor to sort out information, then they would have MORE need 
of securities analysts, thus benefitting his clients.  Clearly this is not 
what Mr. Kaswell is concerned about.  He is lobbying to preserve an inequity 
that benefits him and the people he represents. 
     
Please adopt this proposed rule.  Than you very much for your time and your 
efforts on behalf of the American public.

would kill them in order to avenge the Miamis. The latter sent presents to the Outagamis, with entreaties to furnish them assistance and with them avenge their dead, by a general march [against the Nadouaissioux], which they would make in the approaching winter. The commandant of Michilimakinak, when he heard of the treachery of the Nadouaissioux, wrote to Perrot to make the Miamis hang up the war-club, so that he could go to the Nadouaissioux country and bring away all the Frenchmen, as he did not wish them to become the victims of this new war; and he had even resolved to destroy that people who had so injured our best friends. The Miamis, who had abandoned everything to escape from that furious attack, were destitute of ammunition and of many articles which they obtained only from the French, who exchanged these for peltries. The Outagamis were resolved to give their lives for the cause of the Miamis, in case the French would consent to this; the Kikabous also asked for nothing better. A general expedition was formed to go to join the Miamis, their women and children also going with them. Perrot met on the way four Miamis, whom the chief had sent to ask that he would come to their camp; and he left all that procession, to go thither. The allies, being in sight of the camp, fired some gunshots as a signal of his arrival; and all the Miami young men stood in rows, and watched him pass them. He heard a voice saying Paku-miko\ which signifies in their language, "Tomahawk him!" and he rightly judged that there was some decree of death against him; but he feigned to take no notice of this speech, and continued his walk to the chief's cabin, where he called together the most prominent men among them. He set forth to them that, as he had not been able to secure a more favorable opportunity for

Dear Christopher,
       
The current Antarctic ice sheet started to grow about 35-40 million years
ago. By about 18 million years ago the ice sheet was pretty much as it is
now.  Some scientists think that it may have diminished to a much smaller
ice sheet for a short period of time about 3.5 million years ago (mya).
Prior to the development of the ice sheet (about 35 mya), the climate was
most likely kind of like southern South America.  Unfortunately, there are
very few sites in Antarctica with geological records of the environment for
the early Cenozoic (65-35 mya) so environments for that period of time have
to be inferred from other information.

For the late Paleozoic and Mesozoic, there are many unequivocal lines of
evidence documenting the existence of forests and lakes and animals and
such, even large carnivorous dinosaurs during the Jurassic (about 200-180 mya).
I think that there is evidence of temperate rain forests but not tropical
rainforests, unless perhaps you go back in time to the Permian (about 260
mya).  Coal deposits indicate prolific vegetation during the Permian but I
am not sure that this means that tropical rainforests existed.  In the
Permian, there is also evidence of a widespread glacial episode so I don't
think that a truely tropical climate was likely.

Thanks for your excellent question!

RELEASE: 08-311
NASA CALLS FOR COMMENT ON DRAFT ARES V REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
WASHINGTON -- NASA has released a draft request for proposals, or RFP, 
regarding Phase I of its Ares V launch vehicle. The rocket will 
perform heavy lift and cargo functions as part of the next generation 
of spacecraft that will return humans to the moon. Phase I will 
define operational concepts, develop requirements, and refine design 
concepts for the Ares V. 
This document is a draft of the final version of the RFP for Phase I, 
expected in January 2009. By responding to this draft RFP, potential 
offerors can provide input on the requirements, small business goals 
and contract structure. The industry input received will be combined 
with NASA's expertise for potential inclusion in the final version of 
the RFP for Phase I, which will ask for bids on five Ares V work 
packages. 
A pre-solicitation conference is scheduled for Dec. 3, 2008, at NASA's 
Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. The conference is 
designed for information sharing about the Ares V Phase I for 
potential offerors.

{description}   KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A sea turtle is carried toward the
                skiff that will return it to the lagoon. It is one of several
                turtles found stunned, impacted by the unseasonal cold
                temperatures experienced in Central Florida. The cooperative
                effort of KSC contractor Dynamac Corporation's Aquatics Program
                and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge warmed the
                turtles and evaluated them for release. Most were tagged and one
                received a transmitter, provided by the University of Central
                Florida, for satellite tracking. The turtles were then
                transported through the Haulover Canal to a location away from
                the main channel and released.

The influence of Earth's tilt on seasons.  Day and night lengths vary throughout the year because of the orientation of Earth's tilted spin axis in relationship to the Sun.  Associated changes in solar energy input to each hemishere cause seasons.  In the northern hemiphere, summer begins at the summer solstice when the north pole is titled toward the Sun.  Winter in the northern hemisphere begins when the north pole is oriented away from the Sun, around December 21.  In both hemispheres, day and night lengths are equal on two days each year: the autumnal and vernal equinoxes.  [Source: NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratory]
even if this means delaying some advanced or exotic modules. Our philosophy is that
simple programs, well executed, will always out-perform complex tools poorly done.

System Architecture
ConQuest uses pre-built indexes to perform text database searches at fast speeds. In such a
system, all text to be searched must first be indexed. The indexes built in this process can
then be used by the text search engine to produce results. Both indexing and search use a
dictionary with a semantic network to perform various NLP tasks.


                                              Queries

               Figure 1 ConQuest System Architecture

There are other modules in the ConQuest system not shown in Figure 1. These include the
library manager, which is responsible for system parameters, database configuration,
resource allocation, and physical partitioning of the indexes. Also the dictionary editor,
which can be used to edit words, meanings, links, and definitions.

The Dictionary
ConQuest uses a dictionary augmented with a semantic network to perform indexing and
queries. The dictionary is a list of words where each word contains multiple meanings.
Each meaning contains syntactic information (part-of-speech, feature values), and a
dictionary defmition.
The semantic network contains nodes which correspond to meanings of words. These
nodes are linked to other related nodes. Relationships between nodes are extracted from
machine re~dable dictionaries. Some example relationship types include synonym,
antonym, child-of, parent-of, related-to, part-of, substance-of, contrasting, and similar-to.
ConQuest uses the dictionary for morphological analysis (see below) and idiom
processing. The semantic networks are used to expand the query to include related terms.
Since connections are made between meanings of words, both in the dictionary and the
semantic networks, processing is much more accurate compared to a simple thesaurus.
