I have the following list of auto body shops "in my area" who will honor
my insurance company's (Sentry/Middlesex) estimates.  (I live in Woburn
and work in Cambridge, so a shop not too far from one of those places
would be most convenient.) The insurance company's list is not very
likely up-to-date as it it about two years old.

The car I need repaired is a 1990 Toyota Tercel.  There's about $1500
damage to the left rear quarter.

Does anyone on ne.general have anything to say positive or negative about
any of these shops?

The next meeting of the Northern New England UNIX User Group will occur
at 7:30 PM on Monday, August 31, in South Portland, Maine. The meeting
will be hosted by National Semiconductor at 333 Western Avenue.
The discussion will be works-in-progress at various member sites.
I'm sure that the issues of "getting on the net" and "getting a newsfeed"
will come up, also. There will be no smoking at the meeting. Visitors will
have to wear badges.

Anyone with Exhibits Passes for the upcoming UNIX Expo (9/22-24 in NYC)
is requested to bring them if they would otherwise go to waste.
If there is interest, we can discuss group road/train/plane trips.

DIRECTIONS:
Western Avenue is part of Route 9. If coming from the west (NH, MA, VT,
and York County) or from inland Maine, take Exit 7 off the Maine Turnpike.
Immediately after going through the toll booth, take a right on the ramp
marked for the Maine Mall. At the end of this ramp, turn right, missing
a traffic light. Go 1.2 miles through the following lights:
1. The ramp back onto the Turnpike connector road
2. Where there's an Exxon station on the left
3. Where the cylindrical Sheraton Tara is on the left
4. Where Pizzeria Uno is on the right
5. Where House of Fabrics is on the right.
At the sixth light, you are at the junction with route 9. The Portland
Jetport entrance is 0.5 mile up on the left for those who are flying in.
Drivers, turn right, go 0.2 mile, and look for National Semi on the left.

If coming from coastal Maine on I-295, look for Exit 3 (marked for Route 9,
Westbrook St., Airport) and take that, turning right at the end of the ramp.
(The traffic light may be flashing or in full operation. Call it light #1.)
Go 0.8 miles, being careful to stay on Route 9 as street names change, and
as you cross Foden Road at the 4th light, start looking for National Semi
on the right. Note that the exit off I-295 is a "half exit": you can get
off I-295 southbound only, and only get onto I-295 northbound.

The discussion group for Predictable Distributed Systems at BU

		Layered Cross Product --- A Technique
		to Construct Interconnection Networks

			     Shimon Even

		     Computer Science Department
	       Technion, Israel Institute of Technology
			    Haifa, Israel

		      Friday 21 August 1992, 2pm
		  Rm. MCS 135, 111 Cummington Street
		       (behind 700 Comm. Ave.)


Many layered graphs are known to be useful as interconnection
networks.  Examples are the butterfly network, including all its
different looking representations, meshes of trees, fat-trees, the
Benes network, and multibutterflies.  In certain cases, networks were
known under different names for decades before it was discovered that
they were actually isomorphic.

We believe the reason for this ``blindness'' was that the networks
were represented in forms which concealed their structure.  To be more
specific, these structures are ``essentially'' 3-dimensional, and the
representations used to describe them were 2-dimensional.

We introduce a {\em Layered Cross Product}, LCP, of layered graphs and
show that several of the important, widely used networks, are LCP-s of
simple layered graphs, such as trees.

In particular the butterfly network is an LCP of two binary trees.
The mesh of trees is an LCP of two binary trees with paths attached to
their leaves.  The fat tree is an LCP of a binary tree and a
quad-tree.  Some important properties of these networks are shown to
be trivial consequences, once a network is presented as an LCP of
simpler graphs.

We believe this new tool will make the construction of new networks
easier, and will simplify the study of the properties of known and new
networks.

What?  Daniel is a prophet?  A messiah?  Running for president?

I agree: his election as president would turn the country around,
but not in a direction that I, as an agnostic, would care to follow.

Why not both?  or neither?

I guess it won't take an exit poll to determine who we'll be voting for
come November.

I apologize for repeating all of the above , but it seems necessary. It
does seem that you have completely missed the point. Also I would not
even consider taking this kind of delicate situation to an abortion
mill!! This woman needs to keep some while aborting some, this is a lot
more complex than a DNC etc.

Ya know, I like a good conspiracy theory as well as the next guy.

But in a case like this the first thing you have to do is lay out the
players on the table, those who had to be "in" on it.

There sure are a lot of players on the table, the US, Japan, Saudis,
Egyptians, French, British, Kuwaitis of course, Iranians to some
extent, everyone from their respective govt's who had to have some
level of detail on the big plan. And would be smart enough to know if
their legs were being pulled.

When you start believing in conspiracy theories that huge, and no one
seems to blow the whistle, well, maybe it's time to start wondering if
one is really just engaging in some sort of mental masturbation and
it's time to take a deep breath and look back at the facts and develop
a theory forward, rather than backwards from a desired conclusion.

I don't know about trial, but it is certainly both curious and
disturbing that he's still in power.

Perhaps if there were a covert objective maybe it really was just to
defuse his atom bomb program.

Now, some fairness needs to be brought to this.  As has been observed
before, the debate is so intensely polarized that those pro-one-side will
attribute the most extreme views and behaviors to the other side,
attributions that don't hold.  Things like "abortion as birth-control" on
the one hand, and "abandoning unwanted children once born" on the other.

Any survey of real people, and not just their more radical representatives,
shows a spectrum of middle-ground, ill-served by the shrill debate going on
around them.  And, as it happens, the Catholic Church's record in taking
care of widows-and-orphans, and other victims of life, is better than, say,
NOW's.  So, come to that, is the Salvation Army's.

For a start, just check your Boston Yellow Pages. The advertisements
for Abortion Clinics are amoung the largest. Huge half-page/uncluttered
advertisements. (The bigger advertisements are the 3/4 page
highly-cluttered advertisements for Computer Stores and the full-page
advertisments for Florists.)

So your pro-life crowd would say, gosh, isn't it too bad that
abortion is so highly promoted and commercialized. If adoption
were so promoted maybe there would be less of a market for
this run-a-muck "fertility drug" and implantation thing.

Some Roman Catholic naturalists would say that this was
yet another example of a quick-technological fix to a social
problem. Abortion being an example of a technological
solution to over-riding (at all costs) need for absolute certainty 
in birth control. 

Sour grapes perhaps. Is just that the "priesthood of commercialized
medical-science" has the upper hand, currently?

OK. BZS, how can you tell if an unborn person is going to be
a prophet or not? (Unless you are a prophet yourself) 
And does it make sense to risk killing a prophet?

What does somebody have to do in order to "show that they are
concerned with loving and caring for the children"?

Tell us BSZ, how much time and money have you spent in the last 5
years "loving and caring for the children and women who bear them"?

As for myself, I'm well up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and not just on my own "women and children." (e.g. I just spent $9k
on making an apartment lead-paint-danger-free. And k$'s on various
charities).
