Subject: Re: Travel Scam?? "FREE vacation to Bahamas/Orlando"
Date: 13 Aug 92 10:56:25 EDT
Organization: Health and Welfare, Canada

I believe there was a recent article on telephone scams in the Citizen.
I have had offers like this before.  After a recent experience with a
company from Montreal, I have developed the following personal guidelines:
1.  No telephone (or mail) solicitation is likely to be in my best
interest, especially if it perports to be in my best interest.  Of three
past experiences with unsolicited financial market information, I lost 
money or would have lost on all of them.
2.  Any solicitation which will not allow me to consider the offer for
a day (or some arbitrary period of time) and return a response at a later
time (virtually all have some essential consideration for having to have
an immediate response) is not in my best interest.
3.  The belief that because the Better Business Bureau has no negative
report on an organization, the organization is safe is a fiction.  The
BBB represents the interests of business, not the consumer.

Apart from your own fairy godmother, there are not very many organizations
or individuals in the world whose mandate is to bestow gifts and riches
upon you.  If you think this is a cynical view, by all means proceed as if
the contrary is in effect.

Does the highway traffic act specify what that signal is?  I have never heard
mention of the section to which you refer.  Although I believe it is made
quite clear that you shouldn't be in the left lane AT ALL unless you are turning
left/passing/unsafe in right lane etc.

I'd like to research this further for my own information.

Greetings friends!

I am looking for a house to rent for September 1 (or as near as
possible)

I would _like_ to find at least a 2BR, semi-rural with the house back
from any busy roads or in one of the surrounding towns or villages, and
a reasonable commuting drive to 417/March Road.  From what I have seen
so far, Dunrobin down to North Gower would be ideal, but considering my
time constraint, and considering I would like to keep the rent under
$800, I'm obviously going to be flexible.

If you spot any ads in your local paper, posting on the grocery-store
bulletin board, signs in neighbourhood windows or rumours in the
grape-vine, please send me a message or call me at 592-2122 x3709.

Thanks in advance!

My news reader has no kill facility.  So let's wrap this thing up soon!  Many
of the observations and comparisons made to date have been incorrect or
inaccurate.

I think most of you would agree with the following.  Just repeat after me...

I am fortunate to have a car.
I am fortunate to have a car that can pass other cars.
I am fortunate to live in a country where everyone is mobile.
I remember what it was like to be a pedestrian or cyclist before I could afford
a car.
I remember that bad drivers often have children in the back seat.
My car is not the measure of my personality or worth.
My car is not a weapon.

I have written an object oriented system in C++ for doing
electrostatic calculations on proteins and other molecules.  It is
called MEAD (Macroscopic Electrostatics with Atomic Detail).  Some
calculations using it are described in Bashford & Gerwert, J. Mol.
Biol. 224 473-486 (1992).

The source code and some data files are available by anonymous ftp
from ftp.scripps.edu in the compressed tar file,
   pub/electrostatics/MEAD-alpha-0.2.tar.Z
Beware of a bug in our ftp system such that "ls" does not work
but "dir" and "ls -l" do.

The current package contains data files enabling the user to reproduce
the main results of the above cited JMB paper as well as results
from an earlier lysozyme paper.  I consider this "alpha release" software
since it has been used mainly by me and my immediate collaborators.
I would be happy to have people in the wider world try it out and
let me know their bugs and critiques both from a user point of view
and an object designer/programmer point of view.

We're developing some software to beautify output from a database
with non-standard capitalization.  Some records contain all caps,
others the capitalization is irregular.  The data contains, names,
geographical locations, and genus-species info.  Has anyone built
a list of proper nouns used in biology and taxonony?

I unsubscribed to both the US and UK versions of this list over two weeks ago.
I still receive daily barrage of 15-20 messages which are no longer of 
interest to me. Is there any way to stop this???!!!!
