Hi there,

I live in Marlboro, MA and I was wondering if anyone
knows of any public recycling centers in the Greater
Worcester area?  Ideally, I would like to recycle
newspapers, glass and plastic bottles and aluminum
cans.  Also, does anyone know if Marlboro has 
curbside recycling?  I might have to convince my
rental management to start providing the service if
the town already does it as part of their trash 
pickup!

Thanks for any info!

Abstract

Computer assisted genetic map assembly covers a set of software tools for utilizing data from relational databases used in genome research. The tools are designed to aid in the creation, editing, storage and representation of integrated maps of the structure of genomes of biological organisms including human.

The Map Editor tool maps the order of DNA segments (contigs) using a choice of algorithms and the laboratory notebook database. The maps represent information in the database and allow researcher modifications of the data objects in the maps with graphic user interfaces.

An expert system is proposed which allows many experimental data sets to be integrated into a single composite map. The map is developed by creating rule sets which prune alternative map solutions.

A related AIDS map editor will be discussed and its use in determining relationships between AIDS variants.

From the campaign literature they were kind enough to amuse me with:

"I will immediately reinstate the JFK Executive Order authorizing the printing
of $450 billion in no interest ``United States Notes.''  This will put the
privately owned banking consortium known as the Federal Reserve System out of
business until the public can be informed of its insidious role in our current
economic crisis."

I.e. the bankers secretly control our nation, no doubt using orbital mind-
control lasers.  Anyway, that takes care of the debt (he says); to balance the
federal government, check this out:

"* HALT RUNAWAY SPENDING BY CAPITOL HILL!  We can put Congressional spending
control back into the hands of the American people. [rave, rave, rave]  The
17th Amendment should be revoked."

Now, the 17th Amendment states that Senators shall be elected by direct
popular vote.  Perhaps this is merely a typo and he meant the 16th Amendment
(the income tax), which he also says he will revoke.  Perhaps he thinks that
"putting Congressional spending control back into the hands of the American
people" means having Senators selected by and from local Christian Identity
congregations...

I am quite curious to see the Fed employment stats broken between the
military and the rest.  The military was emphatically excluded from
Reagan's intent (more vigorously asserted than followed) to shrink the
government.  For Carter, the growth of the military head count was not
top priority, to say the least.  I'll try to look up some stats on this
and the stuff below.

I am not sure what your point is.  That it is unreasonable to believe
that Congress, especially post-1984, was more inclined to grow the
non-military Fed employment than Reagan?  There is no doubt that the
economic left (eg, Harkin, Jackson, or Cuomo) is more enthusiastic
about public-sector growth than economic conservatives like Jack Kemp,
Reagan, or Tsongas.  Your local and state figures support such view,
as Democrats are more prominent in state governments.  I would expect
Republicans to be better at containing state employment.  A comparison
of state employment in Democrat and Republican-controlled states would
be a good test of this theory.
Perhaps you are hinting that I am unreasonably partisan, - hard for
me to gauge - but surely not by ne.politics standards?  Maybe you
are just trying to say that Reagan is a damn hypocrite on this issue?
Whatever you have in mind, I am heartened by your implicit statement
that trying to slow public-sector growth is to one's credit.

Puh-leeeze!!  YOUR education in logic is sadly lacking if you believe that
absence of knowledge of Gritz implies the two conclusions you cite.  (Besides,
according to the knee-jerk conservative world-view, television would be a
liberal medium, not be controlled by the liberal media.

	Actually,  19th century Britain had a small army but big navy.  Also,
within Britain those who were classic liberals were "little Englanders"
and opposed Naval spending whle the mercentile imperialists were big navy
supporters.  As in all political questions,  these positions were not static
with Winston Churchill in the early 20th being on different sides at 
different times.

What is his plan?  What spending would he cut, and what taxes (if any)
would he increase?  How would he get us out of $3.5+ trillion debt?

BTW, Gritz is not on the ballot in Massachusetts either.  The MA
