re : privileged yanowski , tommy j . cc : redmond , brian subject : privileged & confidential aep and the hpl transaction there is a remote possibility that aep may be slow in fitting out their offices in time for the acquisition of hpl to reach closure sooner rather than later ( essentially all of the wiring in between offices ) . if so brian is putting together a back up plan where they could be sited in our building . this would mean that a link has to be made between their office and here - that ' s where you guys come in . brian will give you a ring to discuss using the direct connection eol is putting in place as an intermediate step . it might work ? thanks louise

Date: Not suppliedCarny concessionaires have taken to selling deep-friend Twinkies, doing big
business with artery-clogging horripilations:     In what may be the biggest setback for the war on fat since supersize
    fries, Americans are scarfing down thousands of the gooey, calorie-laden
    snack cakes at county fairs and restaurants across the country.     "We sold 26,000 Twinkies in 18 days. People drove for hours just to taste
    our Twinkie," said Rocky Mullen, who sells the deep-fried, cream-filled
    treats for $3 (U.S.) each at the Payallup Fair, 50 kilometres south of
    Seattle.     As if Twinkies are not sweet enough already, vendors such as Mr. Mullen add
    chocolate or berry sauce and sprinkle powdered sugar on top...     Hearing about Mr. Sell's invention, Hostess, the company that makes the
    71-year-old snack, started promoting deep-fried Twinkies to state and
    county fairs, where a captive population of junk-food addicts began
    gobbling them up between pig races and tractor-pull competitions.     How bad are they for your health? After deep-frying, a Twinkie packs an
    estimated 400 calories and 28 grams of fat.  Link[1] Discuss[2][1] http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/PEstory/TGAM/20020923/UFATTN/Headlines/headdex/headdexInternational_temp/13/13/22/

re : var for enroncredit . com bryan , we shall be glad to take a look at the system . to sign - off on the vendor provided system we have to look under the hood and review the algorithms . i hope the vendor will have no objections to it . another critical issue we have to solve on a short notice is to integrate the system you want to buy with the rest of var / credit systems . we shall stand by to help in this endeavor . an alternative approach is to evaluate to what extent your positions can be rolled into the existing risk systems . vince bryan seyfried 11 / 10 / 2000 03 : 20 am to : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect , steven leppard / lon / ect @ ect cc : ted murphy / hou / ect @ ect subject : var for enroncredit . com vince / steve - - we are going to the board in december to ask for formal limits . as you know one of the key limits at the board level is value at risk . to that end , it is imperative that you are comfortable with our approach for calculating var . we have implemented a third party risk system which holds all of our positions and are in the process of putting the debt positions in . the system has a var engine which is being demo ' d by the vendor today . ben and kirstee are attending the demo and if they find the technology acceptable , i propose moving forward with implemantion of the module . pls . let me know if this sounds reasonable and how you would envision implementing . thanks

there is.


language and species a few posts on the subject have pleased me : i am perhaps not alone in having eccentric beliefs about non-human languages . it had started when i was hoping , after finishing my phd , to work on dolphins ' language ; it had continued when i read , somewhere , that the deaf 's sign language was not a language ( how did those people whom i saw meeting regularly in the pub down the road communicate , then , if they did not have a language ? i often envied them being stone deaf - - cursed with hearing as i am , i dislike noisy pubs and restaurants ) . a that stage , it got me thinking that " proper " human language dealt with encoding an n-dimensional conceptual universe into one-dimensional strings ( perhaps with a degenerate dimension extra , if you pay attention to prosodic features ) . that , sign language , on the other hand , encoded it into definitely two dimensions or more - - even though i could not figure out how many , let alone which , having found so little in the literature ( just as anyone doing linguistics should know at least a few foreign languages , perhaps , perhaps they should know at least some sign language , and have practiced it . when i say " perhaps " i mean " definitely " , of course . " perhaps " is a euphemism , a weak excuse for not having taken the time to learn and practice sign language ) . later , about dolphins ' languages , no * cetacean * in this case , i read , somewhere , the circumstances under which orcs had learnt to avoid boats equipped with harpoon guns , which seemed to mean that they must have been " told " how to recognize them by the first to meet those boats for the first time . this seemed too efficient . you just try to explain to someone how to recognize a contraption never encountered before . no paper and pencil , just words . misunderstandings galore . that got me thinking about another possible form of communication . cetaceans " see " by sonar , like bats . they communicate , we read , by sound , in a very wide range ( a few hertz to 100khz or more if memory serves ) . what if they actually communicated by * projecting * sonar images then ? paintings as it were , along with stylized representations . animated too , that 's quite possible . later again , i tied that in with what some will tell you about the intelligence of birds , how some mynah birds seem to understand a few words and use them in the proper context . the complexity of bird songs . the hopelessness of some schemes dreamt up to find out if animals communicated through language strikes me now . putting birds , or whatever , in different cages or pens , training one set to push the third lever from the left to get food ; see if they communicate their discovery to the those in the other pen . if they communicate by projected sonar image we are looking for the needle in the haystack . by song modulation , ditto . there would be , at any rate , dozens , nay , hundreds of ways of explaining " push the third lever " . how would * you * say " lever " if you had never had anything like it in your environment ? " third " ? " from the left " ? so even if they jabbered in a human-like language , one phoneme after the other , we would have a very hard time of spotting their exchange . you know the story about how they said " piano " in beach - la - mar : " big fella box , he got black and white teeth , missus belong white master he fight ' im belong him , box he cry now " . there 's more than one way to say " piano " that way ! i have , then , come to this notion that , when we meet non-human , sentient beings , we probably won't recognize the fact . that those definitions ( and redefinitions ) of language as human language with these and those features , and if it has n't got it then it is n't language , are utterly uninteresting . they would be at best entirely useless , only vacuous tautologies ( is n't that self-referencing ! ) . but in fact they can only be obnoxious , leading to methods incapabl


summary : hindi - urdu tense-aspect the original question stemmed from a comment in bailey 's urdu grammar ( 1956 ) on the following construction : mayng khaataa hung i eat . participle be . 1s bailey insists that this construction , despite looking like a typical progressive construction , must be translated " i eat " and not " i ' m eating " ( bailey 1956 : 139 ) . rather , the following constructions contrast according to the translations : mayng bactaa hung i escape . part be . 1s " i escape " mayng bac rahaa hung i escape stay . en be . 1s " i am escaping " ( bailey 1956 : 42 ) respondents were able to confirm that the first excludes the progressive reading , and that the construction with " stay " must be used for the progressive . this appears to hold for the urdu - hindi dialects . subsequent research suggests that the same phenomenon operates in neighbouring punjabi . thanx again to those who responded .

re : struck out by nomo the symbol k was used in early baseball box scores , indicating that the batter had struck out . this abbreviation was probably originated around 1850 by henry chadwick who " introduced the newspaper box score so that one player 's performance could be fairly measured against another 's .

Hi,I believe you get more value for money by separating the mobile phone from
the PDA.As expressed by power users on Open, a combination like a EUR 160 Nokia
6310i talking to a EUR 440 Palm m515 will meet your specification. By using
a EUR 90 Bluetooth SD chip, the Palm and the Nokia 6310i can talk to one
another even when not in line of sight.regards

credit model paulo , i have talked to vince and stinson about the credit model enhancement and extension . we will pull other reseource for the potential exposure model , so you will be relieved from this more challenging part of the project . due to our limited manpower , everyone is overloaded with multiple tasks . so we still think you are the best person for the short term project which is adding the asian option to the existing model ( ask amitava for help if needed ) . i do not mind if you want to re - negotiate with the customer about the delivery date , but keep in mind that ees has done deals requiring the asian option valuation in the credit model . zimin

if you say you want a cat who looks like a PokÃ©mon.Why is that PokÃ©mon called "Persian", anyway - it looks nothing like a

(quite the opposite, in fact).I had to compile for "686" in order for 3D acceleration to work (the
kernel has an option specifically for the Via C3), but I assume that was
a kernel problem rather than a hardware problem.Trevor Johnston--

you just do a save as, and set the extension to .gif - you should
get a dialog asking whether you want to merge visible layers or
save as an animation. I believe that you can also specify the
extension as .mpg or .mpeg if you've got the mpeg plug-in built.Cheers,

"Spackle is designed to be a flexible client/server architecture for the
gathering and displaying of statistics, primarily suited to monitoring
servers. It's written in PHP and bash shell script, uses RRDtool  for stats
logging, and PostgreSQL for the server-side database. (soon to support MySQL
as well)"I had this up and running within a few hours. The hardest bit was getting
PostgreSQL running as it's been a few years since I used it. I had a bit of a
problem getting it to work on rh6.2 boxes but I documented the changes here:

the monitoring scripts (which could be compromised but I digress), and the
resulting graphs are pretty!Donncha.--

5. SITE STATISTICS
0. INTROHello SourceForge.net Users,This week we've made a big announcement.  As you likely know, any
large dynamic website is powered by a database that funnels data to
the web servers serving data which ultimately gets sent to you.
These databases manage everything from user authentication, session
management, site searching, etc.  SourceForge.net is a database-
dependent website.Today we have announced that we are moving SourceForge.net to DB2,
a powerful relational database by IBM.  We are doing this because
the site continues to grow at a rapid rate, with 700 new users and
70 new projects a day, and we need a database that can handle this
growth.  We feel that DB2 can do this for us, and IBM is giving us
the resources to make this transition successful.  You can read the
press release here:http://www.vasoftware.com/news/press.php/2002/1070.htmlHow will this effect you?  In the first phase, you won't see much
difference other then the site will continue to grow and the
SourceForge.net team will be able to handle the growth.  In later
phases you will see new features on the site that take advantage of
the databases advanced capabilities.Today our mail archives have been converted over.  The rest of the
site will make the migration to DB2 in the coming months.If you have questions about this or any other aspect of the site,
please feel free to email me, pat@sourceforge.net.  I always
appreciate the feedback.Thank you for your continued support of SourceForge.net and the
Open Source Community.Pat-Patrick McGovern
Director, SourceForge.net1. INCREASED DOWNLOAD CAPACITYSourceForge.net continues to grow, and it's appetite for bandwidth
is never-ending.  Every day SF.NET serves over 300,000 files to
ensure that developers and end-users within the Open Source
community can always obtain the software released by hosted
projects, SourceForge.net maintains a network of high-capacity
download servers.  These servers are located throughout the world,
as to provide better download times regardless of which network
provider you are using, and regardless of your geographic location.Three new download servers have recently been added to our network,
further strengthening our file serving capabilities.  These latest
additions include servers hosted by:Time Warner Telecom (Wisconsin,USA);
http://www.twtelecom.com/University of Minnesota (Minnesota, USA)
http://www.umn.edu/CESNET (Czech Republic)
http://www.cesnet.cz/We thank these sponsors for their commitment to SourceForge.net and
the needs of the Open Source community.On a related note, we are looking for a mirror in Japan.  If you are
an ISP or University in Japan and are willing to spare 20Mbps for a
SourceForge.net mirror (we'll supply the hardware), please let us
know at bandwidth@sourceforge.net2. AUDIO OF KERNEL SUMMIT AVAILABLESourceForge.net now has the audio from the entire 2002 OSDN/USENIX
Kernel Summit, held in June.  Listen to the Linux kernel master
discuss such hot topics as kernel modules, virtual memory,
block I/O, database scaling, security modules, and async I/O.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/climatechange/story/0,12374,806695,00.htmlWeevil pest warms to life in south-west LondonJames Meek, science correspondent
Tuesday October 8, 2002
The GuardianThey're chomping in Chelsea, Fulham and Pimlico, but despite their fancy
taste in London addresses they are neither posh nor particularly fussy: they
are vine weevils and they want to eat your plants.
Two species of vine weevil previously unable to survive Britain's cold
winters have been discovered in south-west London, and one has also been
detected in Surrey, Cardiff and Edinburgh.
"This is probably the most serious new garden pest in recent memory," said
Max Barclay, the curator of beetles at the Natural History Museum in London
who discovered the creatures in the UK.
The black vine weevil has long been native to Britain, causing enormous
damage to glossy leaved plants such as laurels. But the two new species,
otiorhynchus armadillo and otiorhynchus salicicola, not previously known
north of Switzerland, are now prevalent in south London. "It's very likely
these weevils have been introduced to Britain through imported ornamental
plants from Italy," said Dr Barclay. "It looks like they're here to stay."
He found otiorhynchus armadillo on the window of a Chelsea department store
in 1998, but as the shop sold imported house plants, he assumed it was a
migrant. It has now quietly become the most common species of vine weevil in
south-west London. The second invader is not so numerous, but has
established itself firmly in the same area.
Apart from laurels, vine weevils attack bay, viburnum, ornamental ivy, and
grape vines. An early sign of trouble is that notches appear in leaves. The
soil-dwelling larvae bite the roots off below the surface.
One possible explanation for the invaders' successful colonisation of
Britain is global warming. Earlier springs and milder winters are already a
fact.

This seems to be a problem in tk8.4.
There is a switch statement at lines 691-697 in ispell.tcl inside a catch.
It ends with a line ending with a backslash, followed by a blank line.This seems to be enough to confuse this verson of tk.  Removing the backslash
causes the error to go away, and the catch is not executed.

summary : buccalization several weeks ago i posted a query asking for instances of " buccalization " , the development of a glottal stop into an oral stop . the reason for the query was that i ' m compiling a catalogue of lenition and fortition types for a textbook , and this was the only type in my catalogue i could n't find an example of . i received seven responses . none of them turned up an absolutely ironclad example of a glottal stop developing into an oral stop , though the things that did turn up were nonetheless striking . four languages were cited . maru , a tibeto - burman language , has turned syllable-final zero into [ t ] or [ k ] , depending on the preceding tone . it is possible , but not certain , that this change proceeded via glottal stop . ( robins burling , 1966 , ` the addition of final stops in the history of maru ' , _ language _ 47 : 581-586 ; anatole lyovin , 1968 , ` notes on the addition of final stops in maru ' , _ project on linguistic analysis _ 7 ( berkeley ) . ) mandarin chinese optionally allows syllable-initial zero to be realized as any of several segments , including a glottal stop , a velar nasal , or a velar or uvular voiced continuant . ( yuen - ren chao , _ a grammar of spoken chinese _ , p . 20 . ) there is reason to believe that some of these initial zeros derive from earlier glottal stop . winnebago has undergone the change [ - r ? ] - > [ - t ? - ] between vowels , and , if i understand the reply correctly , the rhotic itself may be epenthetic in origin . american english has its celebrated case of ` no ' > ` nope ' , possibly via glottal stop . the same is true of ` yep ' , if this derives directly from ` yeah ' and is not analogical . ( and i have noted that i myself sometimes have ` welp ' for ` well ' . ) that 's it . it really does look as if the glottal region is a vast sink from which no segment ever returns . it is not obvious why this should be so , since , as one respondent points out , the development of [ ? ] to [ p ] , [ t ] or [ k ] under the influence of neighboring [ u ] , [ i ] or [ a ] does not seem intrinsically implausible , and indeed it is reported that early european linguists working in southeast asia sometimes misheard and mistranscribed glottal stops in exactly this manner . my thanks to richard coates , lance eccles , james kirchner , bill mahota , john koontz , david solnit and scott delancey for their responses . perhaps i should also have inquired about cases of [ h ] > oral segment , but i did n't think of it . any further information in this vein will be gratefully received . larry trask cogs university of sussex brighton bn1 9qh uk larryt @ cogs . susx . ac . uk

When I receive a message that has a line starting with "From ", it's
broken into two messages.  I get my mail from /var/spool/mail.  The
program that incorporates mail thinks that the "From " line starts a new
message.My sysadmins have told me that the sending mail client is supposed to
escape lines begining with "From ".  EXMH (2.5) doesn't do this.  Should
it?  It appears that my MH is MH 6.8.  Does NMH fix this?Jason D. M. Rennie

re : 5 . 1414 native speaker intuitions i would like to make a few comments on marilyn silva 's questions about control structures like ( 1 ) johnny asked the teacher to go to the bathroom . ( 2 ) johnny asked to go to the movies . which , at least for some native speakers , are acceptable and allow an interpretation with the matrix subject as the controller . i believe that the interpetation of these sentences is fully explainable in terms of speech act semantics ( no syntax needed here ) . first , it is clear that the person asked is a potential agent and that in the " unmarked " case the empty subject is also supposed to an agent supposed to perform some future action specified by the verb phrase on the infinitive clause . therefore , the first option is object control . in the case of ( 1 ) this preferential interpretation is overridden by other pragmatic factors , such as the relative social status of the participants ( student vs . teacher ) . it is relatively unlikely ( though not excluded ) that the student will ask the teacher to do something . therefore , it is seems reasonable to look for an alternative intepretation . in the case of ' ask ' = a reasonable antecedent of the understood subject is the the potential beneficiary of the request , i . e . the asker . the asker benefits from the potential action performed by the addressee of the request . johnny could certainly categorized as being the beneficiary of the situation " going to the bathroom " . thus it seems plausible to referentially link the empty subject of = the infinitive complement . similarly , for a sentence like ( 3 ) john asked paula to be assigned for the task . which seems to involve control switch , i . e . switch from object control to subject control . in this case the passive construction overtly signals that the empty subject cannot be an agent . therefore , it 's implausible to assume coreference between the empty subject and the matrix object . but both john and the empty subject are potential beneficiaries . well , not beneficiaries not in the sense of case grammar or theta-role theory but in the sense of speech act semantics . what seems to at work here is a principle of " role identity " , which has been worked out in some more detail in a recent article written by klaus - michael koepcke and myself in folia linguistica 27 . 57-105 . ( " a cognitive approach to obligatory control phenomena in english and german " ) . roles are not understood there in the sense of case grammar but as " pragmatic roles " . we also point out some interesting differences = between control in english and german , for example , that sentences like ( 4 ) der polizist bat , den saal zu verlassen . ( literally : the policeman asked to leave the room ) can only be interpeted as involving an " implicit controller " , i . e . an addresse or a set of addressees , which is not lexicalized . related issues are also discussed in my recent book " kontrollph = e4nomene im englischen und deutschen aus semantisch-pragmatischer perspektive " published by gunter narr verlag , tuebingen . by the way , koepcke and i found that native speaker 's intuitions in these matters are really very unreliable and that linguists should think of more serious ways of testing what is possible in a language and what is not . klaus panther , university of hamburg , germany

re : pricing credit on thousands of names we can continue the discussion in tuesday ' s conference call , but i discussed with ben about the issues below , and here are some thoughts . this is not a complete approach , but only a starting point for discussion . the main task is to build a pricing system for many names . this has two components - - - 1 ) how to price a single name ? 1 . 1 ) how to price a liquid single name ? 1 . 2 ) how to price an illiquid single name ? 2 ) how to efficiently apply the methodology to multiple names ? the approach i would take for 1 . 1 is a ) define a small set of liquid names b ) apply each of the different models we have , say , the six models ben has mentioned below , to these names c ) include market prices , if any , for these names d ) sit with traders , get trader ' s intuition on where each liquid name should price and note this on the spectrum of prices obtained in ( b ) and ( c ) e ) try to determine attributes of the names that may explain the dispersion of the trader prices across the models f ) quantify these attributes , if possible g ) try a different set of liquid names and repeat the process , and see if the decisions in the last round still make sense the approach for 1 . 2 may be a ) define a small set of illiquid names b ) apply each of the different models we have to these names c ) sit with traders , get trader ' s intuition on where each illiquid name should price and note this on the spectrum of prices obtained in ( b ) d ) try to determine attributes of the names that may explain the dispersion of the trader prices across the models e ) check if these are similar to the attributes identified for liquid names f ) define a master set of liquid names g ) look for relationships ( by analyzing cross - section of data ) between attributes or prices of illiquid names to those of liquid names once a mapping has been defined for an illiquid name to a set of liquid names and their attributes , then this mapping can be entered into a table , and the pricing can be automated for all names ( in theory ) ! the success will depend on the success of the round - table sessions for the approaches for 1 . 1 and 1 . 2 . building a new fundamental model is always a worthwhile task , but we can get going with the above approaches immediately in parallel with developing any new models that we may build . new models can be added to the suite of existing models . i do not believe there will ever be a single model that will answer all questions for all names , but rather we can refine the mappings and relative choices among models over time , which would mean continuing round - table sessions with traders . limited data makes calibration very hard , so i would continually ask the question " what do we calibrate ? " throughout the discussions for 1 . 1 and 1 . 2 , and this may help guide us to new models . vasant benjamin parsons 06 / 19 / 2000 04 : 11 am to : ect london credit trading cc : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect , vasant shanbhogue / hou / ect @ ect , amitava dhar / corp / enron @ enron , steven leppard / lon / ect @ ect , grant masson / hou / ect @ ect , dale surbey / lon / ect @ ect , david a wall / risk mgmt / lon / ect @ ect , jitendra j patel / lon / ect @ ect , oliver gaylard / lon / ect @ ect subject : pricing credit on thousands of names all - our challenge for the next few months is to build an automated system to provide differential pricing on thousands of credits [ 5 , 000 by year - end ] . most of these credits will be illiquid in terms of market price information , making the challenge harder , and the end result more important in terms of competitive pricing advantage . what we need is an overall strategy for how we plan to achieve this from the quantitative perspective . currently we have several models for credit pricing either in use or under development : fmc model ( default probability approach ) . using bloomberg ' s fair market ( par yield ) curves , probabili
