I have some friends living in LA that have recently immigrated from Russia.
Their english is not bad and they find that the english classes, be they in
Jewish Community Centers or others that they have learned about, offer
only very basic remidiation in english. They desperately desire to improve
thier accents and grammar, but can not find an environment suitable to those
ends. I have suggested that they try to make as many english speaking
acquaintances as possible. However since their exposure is limited I
wonder if anyone knows other courses of action.

                  ISODE Consortium Mission Statement


                           August 13, 1992


The ISODE Consortium is a not for profit cooperative enterprise, whose
mission is to promote and evolve the ISODE package, which is a
well-known implementation of OSI applications that has been
operationally proven worldwide.  The ISODE Consortium will advance the
status of open interconnection of computer systems that are used in
various fields of information processing and computer technology
throughout the world by:

1.  Promoting ISODE as a widely available reference implementation of
    OSI and OSI-related applications, with broad recognition in
    research, government, education and commerce.

2.  Enabling ISODE-based products and services, by providing quality
    base technology to ISODE Consortium Members which comprises:

     o  Application level system components, such as X.400 Message
        Transfer Agents and X.500 Directory System Agents.

     o  Technology which provides for interoperability with existing
        non-OSI services, and facilitates transition to new services.

     o  Sample User Interfaces.

     o  Application Program Interfaces.


3.  Promoting the ISODE-related services and products of ISODE
    Consortium Members.

4.  Making the ISODE Source cheaply and easily available for research
    and educational purposes.

5.  Facilitating pilot and service deployment of OSI Applications.

6.  Working closely with service-providers to ensure that ISODE meets
    real operational requirements by providing working solutions to
    practical issues.

To achieve these goals, the ISODE Consortium aims to have a balanced
membership of research, governmental, educational and commercial
organisations and to have a balanced international membership with
strong representation in Europe, North America, and the Pacific Rim.

	We haven't had any tidal waves within recent memory (our bays
don't "funnel" the waves, I guess, but tornadoes and waterspouts are not
unknown; in fact, the roof was taken off the L.A. Convention Center and
many nearby buildings were severely damaged just a few years ago by a
tornado.  As for hurricanes, we're too far north (the water is too cold)
for hurricanes to vent their full fury here,a but in 1939, L.A. was struck
by what remained of a hurricane with lots of wind, rain, and some damage. 
Of course other parts of the country don't get our earthquakes, so it may
be a case of "give a little; take a little."

  Some climatologists believe that
periods of very frequent volcanic activity could have been responsible
for the great ice ages, and information from deep-sea cores taken
around the world lends some support to this hypothesis.  An unusual amount
of volcanic ash has been found in layers corresponding to the period
of the last glacial epoch.  Many more eruptions seem to have occurred
during that time than in the preceeding eons.  Cores taken
through the ice sheets in Greenland & Antarctica also contain layers
of volcanic dust with particularly heavy deposits during the peak
of the last ice age, 30,000 to 16,000 years ago.
The amounts indicate a level of volcanic activity five or ten times
as great as that which we are experiencing today.
  In spite of this rather impressive evidence there are difficulties
with establishing a causal relationship
between volcanic activity & ice ages.  Although
increased volcanic eruptions may have accompaanied the glacial periods,
we cannot be sure that they were the initiating cause.  Perhaps
the reverse is true:
ice sheet buildup may cause increased volcanic eruptions.  The change
in loading of the earth's crust when tremendous volumes
of water are removed from the oceans & stored in icecaps
on the land could cause fracturing & increased volcanic activity.
Furthermore, there is no adequate theory
to explain why volcanic activity should have waxed & waned
in a rhythm corresponding with the timing of the glacial epochs.

Next week the seminar will be:


		BIOLOGICALLY INSPIRED CONTROL OF ROBOTS

		Speaker : Dr. George A. Bekey
			  Professor of Computer Science
			  USC Computer Science Department

The control of  robots is generally performed by methods derived from control
theory,  which are well suited to control of linear systems, but may not
perform well with highly complex, nonlinear systems, capable of locomotion as
well as manipulation. In this talk we will present an alternate approach to
control of robotic systems which is based on biological models. We will begin
by presenting the Phony Pony, a quadruped walking machine designed and built
at USC some 25 years ago. Then we will discuss the USC-Belgrade robot hand
(controlled by an expert system), the Beer artificial cockroach (controlled
by a neural network),  and some of Brooks' behavior based machines . Finally,
we will introduce the walking machines designed by Tony Lewis at USC and
discuss the application of genetic algorithms to enabling one of these robots
to learn to walk.

There's a chain called "2001 Flavors" in OC that's like this.  A quick scan
of the Yellow Pages turns up the following addresses:

    34119 Coast Hwy
    Dana Point

    1837 E. Orangethorpe (at Richfield)
    Placentia

Seems like I saw another one a few weeks ago that had just opened, but I don't

     No need to go to So. Pasadena or San Gabriel...just drive around
your town -- Alhambra is overflowing with interesting Asian restaurants.
     I don't remember addresses, but here are some names:  the Islamic Chinese
Restaurant (that is both a description and I think the exact name of the
place), I think it's near the border between Alhambra and San Gabriel.
There's a Pho 79 (Vietnamese chain) in downtown Alhambra across the
street from the big shopping mall.  And I forget the name, there's
a sort of hot pot place where you both cook your own food on both a griddle
and in a pot of simmering stock.  It's on Main Street I think, somewhat east
of the downtown business area. 
     Monterey Park is well known for it's large Asian especially Chinese
population and restaurants, but Alhambra is right up there too.
