new book : van de vijver : the iambic issue . ruben van de vijver , the iambic issue . iambs as a result of constraint interaction in iambic languages stress on both the first and on the last syllable is avoided ; iambs are not assigned from right to left ; the prototypical iambic foot does not play a role in prosodic morphology . building on optimality theory , van de vijver argues that iambic feet are the result of constraint interaction rather than being building blocks of metrical theory . van de vijver presents detailed analyses of the stress patterns of several carib and yupik languages and shows that the rightheaded feet found on the surface in these languages are the result of the interaction between a constraint which favors leftheaded feet and a constraint which bars both the initial and the final syllable from being stressed . he argues further that iambs can only arise at the left edge of the word and analyzes the stress patterns of several lan - guages which are claimed to have iambs arising at the right edge of the word . one of the conclusions is that the prototypical iamb is never used as a building block in prosodic morphology . contents : 1 . introduction 2 . stress in cariban languages 3 . yupik prosody 4 . only the trochee : stress from right to left 5 . feet in prosodic morphology 6 . summary and conclusions 1998 . 271pp . isbn 90-5569 - 040 - 6 . paperback .

was beautiful. Odd colors and light. Obviously we wondered what it was. Today
Jim explains it. (It was a rocket test from the Vandenburg air force base).
Very neat. It was a bit too blurred out when I saw it, and there was too much
street light to make a good photo, so I am happy to have found the photo from
NASA...

I'm sure that at the end of the universe, they'll still only find Douglas Adams, calmly munching away on his mooburger :-)The prospect of expansion so rapid that the night sky empties out because other galaxies are simply *outside* our light cone -- ??!? -- is really chilling. Puts comm latency in a whole new perspective... what if, in the future, processors go so fast there *is* no network? Or, at least, TCP segments would arrive so rarely they would seem as inscrutable as commandments from the heavens...Rohitkhare@alumni.caltech.edu
In the Beginning ...July 23, 2002
By DENNIS OVERBYE
 It has always been easy to make fun of cosmologists,
confined to a dust mote lost in space, pronouncing judgment
on the fate of the universe or the behavior of galaxies
billions of light-years away, with only a few scraps of
light as evidence. "Cosmologists are often wrong," the Russian physicist Lev
Landau put it, "but never in doubt." For most of the 20th century, cosmology seemed less a
science than a religious war over, say, whether the
universe had a beginning, in a fiery Big Bang billions of
years ago, or whether it exists eternally in the so-called
Steady State. In the last few years, however, a funny thing has happened.
Cosmologists are beginning to agree with one another.
Blessed with new instruments like the Hubble Space
Telescope and other space-based observatories, a new
generation of their giant cousins on the ground and
ever-faster computer networks, cosmology is entering "a
golden age" in which data are finally outrunning
speculation. "The rate at which we are learning and discovering new
things is just extraordinary," said Dr. Charles Bennett, an
astronomer at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt,
Md. As a result, cosmologists are beginning to converge on what
they call a "standard model" of the universe that is
towering in its ambition. It purports to trace, at least in
broad strokes, cosmic history from the millisecond after
time began, when the universe was a boiling stew of energy
and subatomic particles, through the formation of atoms,
stars, galaxies and planets to the vast, dilute, dark
future in which all of these will have died. The universe, the cosmologists say, was born 14 billion
years ago in the Big Bang. Most of its material remains
resides in huge clouds of invisible so-called dark matter,
perhaps elementary particles left over from the primordial
explosion and not yet identified. Within these invisible clouds, the glittery lights in the
sky that have defined creation for generations of humans
are swamped, like flecks of foam on a rolling sea. A good
case can be made, scientists now agree, that the universe
will go on expanding forever. In fact, recent observations have suggested that the
expansion of the universe is speeding up over cosmic time,
under the influence of a "dark energy" even more mysterious
than dark matter. Recently, a group of astronomers led by Dr. William
Percival at the University of Edinburgh combined data from
a variety of observations to compile, based on the simplest
theoretical model, what they say is the most precise
enumeration yet of the parameters that cosmologists have
been fighting about for all these decades. The universe, they calculated, is 13.89 billion years old,
plus or minus half a billion years. Only 4.8 percent of it
is made of ordinary matter. Matter of all types, known and
unknown, luminous and dark, accounts for just 27.5 percent.
The rest of creation, 72.5 percent, is the mysterious dark
energy, they reported in a paper submitted last month to
The Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. It is a picture that in some ways is surprisingly simple,
satisfying long-held theoretical prejudices about how the
universe should be designed. Continued agreement with
coming experiments may mean that science is approaching the
end of a "great program" of cosmological tests that began

sum : walloon several weeks ago i posted a passage in the local walloon of the bastogne area of belgium and asked for a translation . i had quite a number of responses , and it appears that the responders had a good time wrestling with the passage . here is the passage : i - gn-e ` a po ^ pre ` s kinze ans du d ' ci , dj ' asto amon albe ^ rt le ` yona ^ rd e ` t dj ' rawa ^ rdo pace k ' on m ' avot dit k ' ou profe ` sseu ^ r do se ' mine ^ re vlot nos ve ` y po pa ^ rler do walon . dju m ' sovin co k ' dj ' e ^ dmande ' a c , ' momint la : < < kin - a ^ dje k ' il e ` , don c , ' cure ' la ? > > dj ' e ^ vite avou compris k ' i n ' astot nin pus cure ' k ' mi , surtout cand dj ' l ' e ^ ve ` you avou oune be ` le djon . ne bwe ^ ce ` le ki n ' compurdot we ^ re lu walon , me ^ s k ' astot bin de ` cide ' a l ' aprinde avou de ` s profe ` sseu ^ rs come pierrot , come jeannot , come roger , ou come mi , di-st - i l ' fou . and here is the consensus translation : il y a a ` peu pre ` s quinze ans d ' ici , j ' e ' tais chez < < albert le ' onard > > et j ' attendais parce qu ' on m ' avait dit qu ' un professeur du se ' minaire voulait nous voir pour parler du wallon . je me souviens ce que j ' ai demande ' a ` ce moment-la ` : < < quel a ^ ge a-t - il donc , ce cure ' - la ` ? > > j ' avais vite compris qu ' il n ' e ' tais pas plus cure ' que moi , surtout quand je l ' ai vu avec une belle jeune demoiselle qui ne comprenait gue ` re le wallon , mais qui e ' tait bien de ' cide ' e a ` l ' apprendre avec des professeurs comme pierrot , comme jeannot , comme roger , ou comme moi , dit-il , le fou . there were some uncertainties and disagreements ; i ' ve gone with the majority view in each case . the biggest problem was the very last bit , which caused havoc , though the gist of it seems generally clear . there was some disagreement as to whether it was the non-priest or the young girl who wanted to learn walloon ; most people went for the woman , which is what the syntax appears to say . the strange form < rawa ^ rdo > in the second line appears to be the same word as french < regarder > , but i am told that , in northern dialects , this word is widely used in the sense of ` wait , wait for , watch for ' . another headache was the word < bwe ^ ce ` le > in line 6 . this clearly means something like < demoiselle > , and it is possibly the same word as french < pucelle > ` virgin , maiden ' , which is unlikely to be the sense intended . i am told that speakers of walloon are now generally elderly , apart from some younger people who are enthusiasts ( though the belgian student i consulted here told me she had a friend who spoke walloon ) . some younger people of limited education are also said to have a grasp of the variety , and , engagingly , i am told that obscenities and insults tend to persist especially well . one respondent objected to my speaking of walloon as a dialect of french , preferring to see it as a distinct language . here 's an english version : it 's fifteen years ago now ; i was at the " albert leonard " [ institute ] and i was curious because i had been told that a teacher from the seminary wanted to see us to talk about walloon . i still remember what i was wondering at that moment : " so how old is that priest ? " i quickly understood that he was no more a priest than i was , particularly when i saw him with a beautiful young girl who scarcely knew any walloon but who was determined to learn it from teachers like pierrot , like jannot , like roger , or like me ; that 's what he said , the fool . the passage was written by m . georges pasau , pre 's ident du muse ' e de la parole au pays de bastogne ; it appeared in issue 4 ( 1994 ) of the magazine _ singuliers _ , which is devoted to walloon . this was a special number given over to the publication of a new dictionary of walloon . the dictionary is michel francard ( 1994 ) , _ dictionnaire des parlers wallons du pays de bastogne _ , brussels : deboeck / u


Well, after playing around with these strange wav files I realised I didn't
even have sox installed. A quick apt-get install sox fixed this.Sox does reconise these AND even plays them in stereo! Following info from
the CD-Writing HOW-TO I used sox to convert the Sgt Pepper's wav to cdr and
wrote it to CD and now I've got a CD with ONE track that is the entire Sgt
Peppers Album! Not too sure how over 500M of cdr reduces to only 51M of wav
file but there it is?!?!And I've got loads of Beatles Albums and singles in these strange wav files!KEWL! Now I don't need to go buying them!Cheers,	John Gay

fw : conversation with edison re : getting negative ctc paid chris calger 503 - 464 - 3735 - - - - - original message - - - - - from : dasovich , jeff sent : tuesday , october 23 , 2001 3 : 02 pm to : shapiro , richard ; steffes , james d . ; mellencamp , lisa ; tribolet , michael ; sanders , richard b . ; kean , steven j . ; sharp , vicki ; smith , mike ; williams , robert c . ; curry , wanda ; swain , steve ; huddleson , diann ; calger , christopher f . ; belden , tim ; dietrich , janet subject : conversation with edison re : getting negative ctc paid i talked to john fielder ( svp edison ) about setting up a meeting for barry tycholiz with edison ' s cfo about hedging edison ' s qf price risk . fielder wanted to talk about the negative ctc issue . here ' s what he said : they plan to " settle " with the esps and pay them when they pay everyone else , which he re - iterated would be sometime in ql ' 02 . edison is holding firm to the notion that the negative ctc contributed to the utility ' s undercollection and that the esp ' s share of the undercollection has to be netted against the payables attributable to the negative ctc and owed the esp . he said that they will propose to net it out in one of two ways : 1 ) lump sum netting ( i . e . , if they owe $ 50 mm and the share of the undercollection is $ 30 mm , then they pay the esp $ 20 mm ; or 2 ) future reductions in px credit ( i . e . , they pay the esp $ 50 mm , and then reduce the px going forward until the $ 30 mm is paid down ) . the numbers are illustrative only . in addition , he said that they have the view that a decision is going to have to be made about 1 ) whether da customers pay for stranded costs tied to the dwr l - t contracts , and 2 ) whether da customers pay going forward for stranded costs tied to the qf contracts . ( edison is clearly lobbying the puc to get da customers to pay for these costs . ) i recommended strongly that he de - link issues 1 and 2 above from the issue of paying us asap what they owe us for negative ctc . he agreed . he said that the puc judge ' s recently issued pre - hearing conference order requires that edison " meet and confer " with esps prior to the nov . 7 th hearing , and that edison intends to set something up with esps prior to that hearing . fielder is also the point person on " getting esps paid " and intends to initiate settlement discussions with esps week after next . it was very clear from the conversation that edison is going to do everything possible ( at the expense of creditors ) to maximize headroom under the settlement it struck with the puc a few weeks ago . edison ' s stalemate with the qfs is evidence of it . we shouldn ' t assume anything different with the negative ctc issue . if you have any questions , let us know . best , jeff

available for review : phonology the three books listed below are in the linguist office and now available for review . if you are interested in reviewing a book ( or leading a discussion of the book ) ; please contact our book review editor , andrew carnie , at : carnie @ linguistlist . org note : please include in your request message a brief statement about your research interests , background , affiliation and other information that might be valuable to help us select a suitable reviewer . do not provide a link or url to an online cv or homepage - - these will be ignored . please also provide a surface address for us to send the book to . phonology : james m . scobbie ; autosegmental representation in a declarative constraint - based framework 0-8153 - 1949 - 0 , cloth ; 280 pages , $ 61 ; garland publishing ; outstanding dissertations in linguistics the book examines the formal characterization of multiple association from the perspective of a declarative constraint-based phonological framework . both the autosegmental and constraint-based aspects of the book are highly relevant to recent developments in phonological theory , predating the current interest in constraint interaction and optimization . inspired by the empirical and formal success of unification - based grammars , all phonological rules and representations are interpreted as hard constraints on well-formedness . in general then , constraints are simply conjoined , and faithfulness to the lexical entry is obligatory . alternations arise from underspecification . the multiple sequenced tiers of autosegmental phonology are shown to be redundant , and linear order is limited to the root tier . association is then defined as the inverse of dominance within the feature geometry , so multiple association is co-dominance of a feature by two roots . the no crossing constraint is not applicable since non-root features are not on sequenced tiers , and the sharing constraint is introduced instead as the key means of forcing locality on co-dominance : it bans co-dominance by non - adjacent roots . thus , because features and association lines are indestructible , the key autosegmental properties of integrity and inalterability are predicted to occur . long distance dependencies are then considered . from the perspective of structural integrity , discontinuous geminates in planar morphologies are more like fake geminates than true geminates , which is predicted by the sharing constraint . only a tiny amount of nontonal data can be presented in favor of non-local multiple association which feeds phonological rules : chaha displays non-local inalterability and javanese , the opposite ( side-effects ) . thus the balance of evidence is against a single mechanism uniting local and non-local multiple association . phonology daniel silverman ; phasing and recoverability ; 0-8153 - 2876 - 1 , cloth ; 256 pages , $ 56 ; garland publishing ; outstanding dissertations in linguistics this phonological study investigates the articulatory timing ( " phasing " ) relationships that render acoustic cues optimally recoverable by the listener , and the strong tendency for languages to allow sub-optimal timing patterns only if they allow optimal ones . the primary area of focus is the otomanguean language group of oaxaca , mexico and neighboring states , which possesses " laryngeally complex " vowels , a typologically unusual pattern in which tone and non-modal phonatory settings ( breathiness , creakiness ) cross-classify . the laryngeally complex vowels of jalapa mazatec , comaltepec , chinantec , and copala trique are studied in depth . also explored are the phasing relations between obstruents and laryngeals , and sonorants and laryngeals , including phonological analyses from such diverse groups as mon - khmer , tibeto - burman , and nilotic , among others . throughout the investigation , findings from a number of relevant disciplines aerodynamics , acoustics , audition are applied to t

Hello,Has anyone made a working source RPM for dvd::rip for Red Hat 8.0?
Matthias has a spec file on the site for 0.46, and there are a couple of
spec files lying around on the dvd::rip website, including one I patched
a while ago, but it appears that the Makefile automatically generated is
trying to install the Perl libraries into the system's, and also at the
moment dvd::rip needs to be called with PERLIO=stdio as it seems to not
work with PerlIO on RH8's Perl.Not too sure what the cleanest way to fix this is - anyone working on
this?Thanks,--

the CPU is executing it. I.E. there is more logic
executed (including NIC logic) when going down
to the metal than when using lo. So how much
logic is involved for each type of IPC (why
are you limiting yourself to sockets? there are
mutexes, shared mem, files, messages...). Anyway the
best IPC method to choose is dictated by the data
you want to communicate between the processes,
as the various IPC mechanisms are tuned for
various data types.IBM are running a series comparing doze and Linux IPC mechanisms.
The socket (which references the others at the bottom) is here:

comparative method alexis manaster ramer asks about the claim that relatedness and / or subgrouping should be established only based on systematic morphological relationships of the sort likely to be observed in paradigms or declensions . i ' m familiar with this claim only in a much weaker form , that morphological comparisons are more reliable than phonological ones as a basis for establishing linguistic relationships and subgroups . on this basis , for example , robert hetzron in 1976 * proposed a rigorous internal subgrouping for the semitic languages based on affixes in the verb paradigms . hetzron 's proposal that hebrew , arabic , and aramaic constitute a central semitic group is , i believe , correct ; and it is supported by much more evidence than hetzron adduces , much of it morphological and morpho-syntactic ( e . g . , innovation of novel negative markers , etc . ) . i may be reading too much into these claims of morphological priority in establishing subgrouping , but i have always interpreted them as a reaction to the difficulty of distinguishing convergent from shared phonological development on a principled basis . that is , because it can be difficult to determine whether a particular recurrent sound change in a language group represents shared innovation rather than convergent development , it might be pragmatically safer to rely on morphological innovation . thus , in the case of the semitic languages , such changes as * p to / f / or * g to / jh / ( as in junk ) would , if treated as shared innovation , lead to subgroups that are inconsistent with those deduced by other means . on the other hand , " unusual " changes like the change of proto - semitic glottalic consonants to pharyngealized consonants are much more likely to represent shared innovation , given the typological rarity of pharyngealized consonants . with regard to fritz newmeyer 's questions about comparative syntactic reconstruction , i do n't know of any systematic published counters to jeffers ' ( and others ' ) claims that it is * in principle * impossible . however , i think that a good case can be made that this is an overly pessimistic assessment . the problem , of course , is the appropriate context : we compare phonemes in words and / or morphemes and morphemes in paradigms , but it 's not clear what the context might be for word orders . presumably discourse context plays a role . i would imagine that if all the languages in a family shared an unusual word order ( vis a vis their dominant types , whatever those might be ) in counterfactuals , we might want to attribute that order to their latest shared ancestor . pragmatically speaking , it 's a lot easier to find information about the morphological context of particular phonemes than it is to find reliable information about the larger context for sentence and construction types . nonetheless , at least inchoately ( and perhaps it is the inchoateness that jeffers objects to ) , * some * notion of syntactic reconstruction is surely behind claims that proto - indo - european was sov or proto - semitic was svo , and the like . * " two principles of genetic reconstruction " , lingua 38 : 89-104 . alice faber faber @ haskins . yale . edu

' ' enbridge partners will acquire 1 , 880 miles of various diameter gathering lines , 37 compressor stations , four gas treating plants with a capacity of 595 mmcf / d and three gas processing plants with a combined capacity of 375 mmcf / d . the transaction is anticipated to close in december . the intrastate system derives revenues from the purchase , transportation and resale of natural gas . additionally , when natural gas liquids fractionation spreads are positive , the option exists to extract ngls from purchased gas , thus leveraging income with incremental processing revenue , the company noted . the partnership expects that the direct commodity price exposures inherent in gas purchase and resale activities and in gas processing will be suitably mitigated through a hedging strategy . it forecasts gas supply available to the system will be 400 - 420 mmcf / d in 2002 . based on this estimate , the acquisition would contribute incremental ebitda of between $ 26 million and $ 32 million for the year , while distributable cash flow would increase by between $ 0 . 10 and $ 0 . 15 per unit , with further improvements anticipated in 2003 . the forecasts assume that acquisition financing will consist of 50 % debt and 50 % equity , in line with enbridge partners target long - term capital structure . enbridge partners also reported third quarter net income of $ 6 . 6 million , or $ 0 . 13 per common unit , compared with net income of $ 14 . 2 million , or $ 0 . 42 per unit , for the third quarter in 2000 . the decline was attributed mainly to an adjustment to oil inventory due to shippers of $ 5 . 4 million . the adjustment was the result of what enbridge said were refinements in the oil loss estimation process , as well as improvements in the accuracy of measuring oil losses while developing new software applications . third quarter deliveries were 1 , 208 million b / d compared to 1 , 272 mmb / d for the same period in the prior year . the partnership expects that deliveries will increase over the remainder of the year , to average between 1 . 30 and 1 . 33 mmb / d . however , its delivery estimates for 2001 and 2002 are down from prior expectations because of lower production forecasts for conventional heavy crude oil , which stem from the current wide price differential between heavy and light crude . for 2002 , growing oil sands production is anticipated to boost full - year average deliveries to between 1 . 35 and 1 . 43 mmb / d . " the partnership ' s forecast indicates that crude oil delivery volumes , which have languished for the past several quarters , will start to improve modestly in the near term with more significant increases occurring in the latter half of 2002 , " said tutcher . " the major contributing factor will be increased production from the immense oil sands reserves in western canada . we also anticipate further successes from our acquisition strategy , which will increase earnings and diversify our sources of income . the partnership ' s primary objective over the next two to three years is to accelerate the g

I occasionally buy X-10 stuff.  I've learned from past experiences to
create a quick mail alias to get order confs and what not.  Then can
it once the order is complete because those spamming SOBs will not
stop filling my inbox with 3-6 ads per day.  I've LARTed them and
their upstream numerous times asking to be list washed.  I don't even
get an auto-ack.  I started a procmail recipe to reject mail to them
and include a form letter (I was planning on later appending every
piece of x-10 spam I've archived to the form letter for their reading
pleasure...) but I haven't gotten it to work.  Bottom line, if I gave
them permission to mail me (explicitly or via privacy policy), it's
not spam but once I told them to stop mailing me then it's spam.My $.02

there ' s still time to check your pulse it  , s not too late to tell us what you think about your work experience at enron and enron transportation services , and what we can do to help make it better . to date , nearly 27 % of all ets employees have completed the pulse survey . for those of you who have completed the survey , thank you for taking the time to tell us what  , s on your mind . we  , d still like to hear from those employees who have not completed the survey . between now and friday , oct . 27 , please access the pulse survey via survey . enron . com to share your enron work experiences . it would be great to get 100 % participation from ets employees . your survey responses are confidential and your comments can bring improvements to ets . thanks , in advance , for your participation in the pulse .


summary : chomsky on letting the theory choose i recently asked where it was that chomsky said that in unclear cases we should let the theory choose the right analysis . the answer , supplied by jan odijk , barbara abbott , and michael israel ( to all of whom my thanks ) turns out to be syntactic structures , p . 14 : . . . in order to set the aims of grammar significantly it is sufficient to assume a partial knowledge of sentences and non-sentences . that is , we may assume for this discussion that certain sequences of phonemes are definitely sentences , and that certain others sequences are definitely non-sentences . in many intermediate cases we shall be prepared to let the grammar itself decide , when the grammar is set up in the simplest way so that it includes the clear sentences and excludes the clear non-sentences . . . . a certain number of clear cases , then will provide us with a criterion of adequacy for any particular grammar .

are most people bilingual ? - - summary a few days ago i inquired about estimates of what portion of the world 's human population is bilingual . one motive i had in asking was to be able to " shame " my students into taking their language study seriously . " be a mainstream human being ! " , i would exhort them . i thank michael brody , eva fernandez , jussi karlgren , and ruth kearns for their informative replies ( insofar as there is information to be had on this topic ) . see reference list below . the authors point out that one problem with this question is the difficulty of defining " bilingual " , since most people so described are not equally proficient in both languages . some key excerpts follow : romaine ( 1995 : 8 ) : " there are about thirty times as many languages as there are countries . this entails ( sic ) the presence of bilingualism in practically every country of the world . grosjean ( 1982 : vii ) estimates that about half the world 's population is bilingual . there are , however , no really precise figures on the number and distribution of speakers of two or more languages . " grosjean ( 1982 : 2 ) : " it is an interesting fact that no really precise statistics exist concerning the number and distribution of speakers of two or more languages . " romaine ( 1995 : 9 ) quotes makey ( 1967 : 11 ) : " bilingualism , far from being exceptional , is a problem ( sic ) which affects the majority of the world 's population . " grosjean ( 1982 : 2 ) quotes lewis ( 1976 : 115 ) : " bilingualism has been ( , ) and is ( , ) nearer to the normal situation than most people are willing to believe . " end of quotations . you may remember that i asked if there were any _ principled _ estimates , and , so far as i can tell , the authors say little about the bases or reasoning behind their estimates . ruth kearns points out that " estimates tend to come from the statistics on numbers of languages spoken in various countries and statisitics of population size in those countries .
