I apologize for not catching up to the current code in so long.Now that I have I'm trying to resolve "breakage" and differences.The unseen window seems to have been replaced with the sequences
window. While I appreciate the flexibility of the sequences
window, the unseen window filled an important-to-me need: It
was tiny and could be set to show on all desktops of a virtual
window manager without taking a lot of space. Since my normal
mode of operation involves two copies of exmh displaying on a
1024x768 vnc session, screen space is at a premium.As things stand now, I have a sequences window that shows a lot
more information than I need to have handy and takes up a lot
more room than I can "spare".I can see that I could like the new sequences window a lot for
certain operations. But I'd like a nice uncluttered, tiny
window that _only_ shows me info on my unread mail.One possibility that occurs to me would be a button or mouse
click that "shrinks" the Sequences window to show only the
sequences in the "always show" list. And of course a way to
expand it back.--Hal

are relaying spam through your qmail server, it's a fair bet that
you've seriously botched your qmail config (like forgetting to create
an rcpthosts file or something).Anyway, if you insist on using razor to resolve this problem, I
would suggest tossing qmail-scanner
and SpamAssassin into the mix as well.
The former provides the qmail-integration framework on which the latter
does its work (including razor-check invocations).Fair warning: It'll be far more resource-intensive than simply denying
relaying privileges to everyone except the folks you trust. To find
out how to do that, go to (which, incidentally,
should be your first stop for all things qmail) and search for "qmail
newbie's guide to relaying".- Adrian

pickle. hammie.py, which I just checked in, will optionally let you
write stuff out to a dbm file. With that same message base, the dbm
file weighs in at a hefty 21.4MB. It also takes longer to write: Using a database:
real 8m24.741s

sys 1m33.650s Using a pickle:

sys 0m2.160sThis is on a PIII at 551.257MHz (I don't know what it's *supposed* to
be, 551.257 is what /proc/cpuinfo says).For comparison, SpamOracle (currently the gold standard in my mind, at
least for speed) on the same data blazes along: real 0m29.592s
user 0m28.050s
sys 0m1.180sIts data file, which appears to be a marshalled hash, is 448KB.
However, it's compiled O'Caml and it uses a much simpler tokenizing
algorithm written with a lexical analyzer (ocamllex), so we'll never be
able to outperform it. It's something to keep in mind, though.I don't have statistics yet for scanning unknown messages. (Actually, I
do, and the database blows the pickle out of the water, but it scores
every word with 0.00, so I'm not sure that's a fair test. ;) In any
case, 21MB per user is probably too large, and 10MB is questionable. On the other hand, my pickle compressed very well with gzip, shrinking
down to 1.8MB.Neale

is key to decentralization. Databases enforce consistenty with every transaction.
Bounded transactions, like an ATM, enforce consistency
by have some play with time and value
Most people keep inconsistent data in their heads, it's
called congnitive dissonance theory
Most businesses keep inconsistent data, documents, tationale
and ideas to support their work activities, it's called real life.I don't think it matters so much where it's located, i.e.
decentralization. I think that decentralization is the workaround
from technical limitations. The fallout being that the only way
inconsistent information spaces can be maintained is by
protecting them through a set of trust barriers and boundaries.
The local information when combined with the technical
troubles of providing "just enough" forced synchronization
to remote information provide workable data consistenty, i.e.
enforcing local constraints or ignoring global ones when
concerns are more immedidate. Tolerating temporary, irreconcilable deviations is how
people cope, otherwise you'd be like Nick Gatsby unnecessarily
pre-occupied with a spot of shaving cream on McKee's neck
who thinks that if he can just wipe that spot off that the
whole world would be a little more perfect and everything,
including his pre-occupation with Daisy, would consistently
be in its proper place.Greg

( i am skipping ken lay , the ceo . ) charles lemaistre and john mendelsohn , two execs from the university of texas m . d . anderson cancer center , can ' t be expected to catch this stuff , and therefore gets a pass from me . paulo ferraz pereira is a former president and chief executive officer of the state bank of rio de janeiro . that ' s probably put him in more than his fair share of difficult financial situations . how could he not raise a word about it ? frank savage serves as chairman of alliance capital management international , perhaps the most sophisticated company in the world of money management . i am sure savage never saw a situation as bad as enron ' s looking through his own company ' s portfolio of investments . jeffrey skilling , the man who resigned as ceo , needs to be heard from . we know that he is a director of the houston branch of the federal reserve bank of dallas , a sinecure that slouches and undervigilant execs don ' t get hold . what did he know and when did he know it ? john wakeham , lord wakeham to everybody , is perhaps the most financially sophisticated brit to serve in parliament . he managed a large private practice as a chartered accountant . he ' s big and powerful and smart . herbert winokur is a longtime financial hand who also has run investment partnerships and used to serve as a director of penn central , a place that saw more than its share of ups and downs and tricky financial situations . in short , this is the most sophisticated , hands - on group of folks i have come across . i can ' t believe they checked off on this stuff . i have to believe they didn ' t know , or if they knew of the partnerships , i believe they had no idea what they were doing . i want so badly to presume that these partnerships were simply set up to take down a lot of debt and not hurt enron ' s credit rating with the agencies - - not that that ' s such an ethical setup . but at least it makes me think that the board might have been confused or not focused because it would have seemed unimportant , as they might not have known how big and how extended the partnerships were . still , let ' s not fool ourselves . this was a powerhouse , fantastic , upright board of people who know a thing or two . i can ' t believe they let this stuff occur . i think they knew nothing . which is pretty terrible in its own right . this market deserves your well - placed optimism by james j . cramer > realmoney . com 11 / 05 / 2001 10 : 32 am est url : > d ? j ? vu circa 1991 . that ' s what i keep thinking about . i recall that time vividly . bank of boston , chase , chemical , citibank , they all started rallying . we bears would call each other and joke about it . we would say that it was a ridiculous move , that it should be shorted and shorted aggressively , because there was no way that any of these banks would make it . heck , bank of boston was teetering on insolvency . citibank was technically bankrupt already . the jim grants of the world ( more powerful now than they were then because he didn ' t have as many years of being dead wrong but erudite under his belt ) would be alerting everyone to the absurdity of the common stocks of the banks rallying . i would call the analysts , and they wouldn ' t know anything either - - the ones who liked the banks all the way down , who still liked them and who had no credibility at all . the ones who hated them didn ' t want to get off the winning horses . they didn ' t know that the race was over and that a new one had begun . or , to put it the brutal way that i now know was right : no one with a brain was long any of these . turns out , of course , that brains were one of those commodities that was wildly overvalued at the bottom . what you had to do was check your skepticism and embrace optimism , because at certain points in history optimists get it right . that ' s how i feel about this market . i think the time to be skeptical was before all of the damage occurred . i think we will look back at this period and say the following : the great bear market started in march 2000 and was continuing to run rampant until sept . 11 , the crisis that triggered a massive influx of liquidity and lower interest rates that turned things around . most of the brains at the time were thinking that nothing really could change and that we were going to slide into a japanese recession or that no turn would ever come . they were wrong , just like they were in 1991 . we get so caught up in the " is cisco bottoming ? " or " is intel breaking out ? " minutiae that we forget that the market has been pretty good for some time now , pretty good since that crescendo selloff two months ago . you would think that we ' d have converted more bears to bulls by now , but like in 1991 , it didn ' t happen until well into the turn . don ' t confuse my optimism with some cold hard realities . i think that , for example , xo communications is going to fail , and when it does , there will be the requisite selloff and setbacks to tech . i think that mcleod is going to fail and we will see the same . there are a ton of companies that won ' t get through this period , just like there were a ton of banks and savings and loans that failed long after the turn came in 1991 . and i reserve the right to hate individual stocks . i can ' t get my arms around how ford comes back ; i don ' t understand the enron fiasco at all . i am not even sure that qwest can staunch the bleeding . but that doesn ' t make me bearish . understand that i am strictly a pavlovian creature . had i not lived through the giant financial short squeezes of late 1990 and early 1991 , had i not personally been " bought in " on a half - dozen banks i was shorting and had i not later on seen those banks get big bids from super - regionals not long after i , too , would be suspicious and want to bet against the market . i can ' t , though , because my capacity for loss remembrance is so much greater than my ability to remember my wins that the pattern stays in my head like a hot stove that i don ' t want to get burned by again . believe me , i am a cold - blooded individual about these things . if i thought the short side was the right side here , i would be all over it . we have had a huge bounce off the bottom ; there would be nothing " unpatriotic " about saying " get out now . " but i don ' t think that ' s right . i think this market ' s going to keep working here . if it doesn ' t , people will email me and harangue me and make fun of me , and i will say , c ' est la vie , i took a stand ; it was wrong . taking stands , however , is what it is all about . knowing your context and making money with that context is what i do and have done for 20 years . if you don ' t have a context , if you don ' t have a view , there ' s only one thing to do : give your money to others who do . random musings : glenn curtis ' s era of value newsletter has been making me money . when something makes me money i talk about it . check it out here . curtis and gary b . smith both are doing some terrific things . understand , i get all of the newsletters out there . i see the hype that a navallier or a murphy puts out and i want to puke . this stuff is nothing like that , nothing at all . it is honest , candid and doesn ' t guarantee that you will shoot the lights out , like those who you know can ' t . . . on my radio show , it ' s mutual fund monday , where we will fix your 401 ( k ) ) . call me at 1 - 800 - 862 - 8686 from 3 p . m . to 4 p . m . et .

http://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/comment/0,7493,781769,00.htmlHamza's horrid - but we must tolerate himRod Liddle
Wednesday August 28, 2002
The GuardianSheikh Abu Hamza al-Masri, our maddest of mad mullahs and a cartoon bogeyman
to scare the kiddies, spent a quiet and contemplative bank holiday playing
with his own children in Victoria Park, Hackney.
I've often wondered what incendiary Islamic fundamentalist clerics do on
statutory public holidays. Head for the beach and maybe swing by B&Q on the
way home, I had hoped. I had this beguiling vision of Hamza paddling in the
sea, an ice-cream cone in his one good hand, the waves tickling his shins,
and the sheikh mentally preparing to fix those pesky shelves in the kitchen
for once, instead of planning the extermination of Zionism and America and
maybe me and you, too.
But B&Q and a day at the seaside is probably beyond Hamza's budget since the
Bank of England froze his assets, so Victoria Park had to do. But he sounded
happy enough when I spoke to him, with the babble of tiny, cheerful, Islamic
proto-warriors in the background.
You must know Hamza; he's the imam designed, it would seem, by the Daily
Mail's cartoonist Mac. Large metal hook in place of a left hand. One eye
covered by a patch, the other a baleful, watchful, milky-white. We don't
mock the disabled any more these days, unless it's someone like Hamza whom
we don't like; then, if you'll excuse the inapt phraseology, the gloves come
off. So Hamza is known (with that vaulting imagination typical of the
British right) as "Captain Hook", in articles which usually call for his
arrest, or extradition to the US, or deportation back home to Egypt or maybe
off to Pakistan or Afghanistan, where he fought the Russians for years and
thus sustained his disabilities - anywhere, really; just out of here. And if
we can't lock him up or chuck him out of the country, maybe we can force him
to shut up.
Because we don't like Hamza very much. We weren't that fond of him before
September 11, but afterwards, in that nervy, paranoid few months when we all
thought the sky might fall in, our disapprobation turned into political
persecution.
And now the Daily Mirror is agitating again for his arrest because they've
got hold of secret videos of the man behaving in an even more inflammatory
manner, urging warfare on and looting of enemies of Islam. All out of
context, and a very long time ago, says the imam, not unduly bothered. But
perhaps he should be, because our reputation for broad-mindedness and
tolerance towards people like Hamza was thinning even before the Mirror's
scoop.
Hamza preaches, or preached, at the scary Finsbury Park Mosque - so, earlier
this year, the Charity Commissioners banned him from doing so because of his
allegedly inflammatory remarks. I didn't know Charity Commissioners were
meant to do stuff like that.
He has had his passport seized and not returned; his assets have been
frozen. He is tailed by the police every now and then, and his access to the
media is restricted by internal policing within broadcasting corporations
and the press. And this last point is because, we tell ourselves, endlessly
- repeating the mantra over and over again, and fervently wishing it to be
true - Hamza is not "representative" of British Muslims, as if British
Muslims were a simple, homogenous thing with a single voice that one could
turn to every now and then for explanation. And perhaps succour.
The trouble is, in the first month or so after the twin towers attack he was
revealed to be rather more "representative" than the list of those
government-approved Muslim spokesmen who were - uncomfortably, I suspect -
dragooned briefly into statements of support for the war against terrorism
and a blanket condemnation of the Taliban.
An opinion poll commissioned by Radio 4's Today programme revealed that an
overwhelming majority of British Muslims were against George Bush's crusade.
One in six were, to put it mildly, ambivalent about the attack on the US
(the remainder condemned the attack unequivocally). A large majority thought
the war against terrorism was a war against Islam.
Which is what Hamza said, repeatedly. But it was something that, at the
time, we didn't want to hear. Now, if you quiz the man on present policy at
home and abroad he comes across - superficially, at least - as someone from
the liberal left. No war against Iraq; Britain to become independent of US
foreign policy and attempt rapprochement with Arab states; stronger action
against Israel; mistrust of global capitalism; redistribution of wealth.
Nor is he particularly anti-semitic, so far as I can tell, although I don't
suppose he will be holidaying in Eilat this year. In yesterday's Guardian,
the chief rabbi expressed a willingness to talk to Hamza and was grateful
for the sheikh's message of condolence when a London synagogue was attacked.
Which is not to say that Hamza is a peaceable Jeffersonian democrat who has
been wilfully misrepresented: he is, without question, rather more
inflammatory in private sermons to his own people than he is in public. His
ideology is an arid and uncompromising interpretation of Islam: he would be
happy, in a truly Islamic society, to stone women to death for adultery, for
example. You and I would find many - perhaps most - of his views utterly
repellent.
And that's the point. Because Hamza is the true test of our apparent desire
to be multicultural. Multiculturalism is not, surely, the cheerful
appropriation of bits of inoffensive minority cultural behaviour by the
ruling hegemony. That is a sort of syncopated monoculturalism.
Multiculturalism is, rather, the ability of society to tolerate views that
are antithetical to the dominant culture - and maybe learn from them.
The FBI has been investigating Hamza, but, of course, has found nothing
remotely incriminating. The real reason for his vilification and persecution
is simply the pungency of his views.
It is often said that we should shut him up or arrest him because his
rhetoric increases hostility against the Muslim population generally. This
is a perfectly noble argument, but it does not wash.
You don't defuse a difficult situation by pretending it doesn't exist. And
if British Muslims - maybe a minority, maybe not - feel a growing sense of
unease or mystification at the direction of western foreign policy, it is
not because they have been led in that direction by Hamza. Shutting the man
up, therefore, won't make a difference.
It is rather as Louis MacNeice had it:
The glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall for ever.
But if you break the bloody glass, you won't hold up the weather.

am a (tv)twm user. when I snarf text into my mouse cut buffer, and then attempt to inject it into the exmh input windows for comp/repl, the 'point' is often an apparently random place in the text pane, not where I think I have current flashing cursor. I usually wipe out any of To:/Subject:/ with the text. Its often not even beginning of line denoted, ie its an unexplicable number of char spaces in to the text where it inserts, What am I doing wrong in either X, WM, shell, EXMH which is causing this?cheers -George_______________________________________________ Exmh-users mailing list Exmh-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/exmh-users

accuracy of historical reconstruction in writing in linguist 5 . 1393 on another topic , martinha @ fub46 . zedat . fu-berlin . de ( martin haspelmath ) says : ) it is true that latin syntax could hardly be reconstructed from ) modern romance languages , but neither could latin morphology , and ) even the view of latin phonology that we would get from romance is ) very distorted . our reconstruction of protolanguage grammar is ) always imperfect . . . in looking at historical reconstruction done for s . american languages ( largely phonological ) , i ' ve often wondered about this . just how much could we trust the reconstructions that we did ? one of my rules of thumb for those languages was that if an item was longer than one syllable , it was suspect as being polymorphemic , and if it was longer than two syllables it was almost certainly polymorphemic . the problem is that most attempts at reconstruction ignored this areal phenomenon ( sometimes because the data was simply unavailable ) . from what i know of romance languages , i would say polysyllabic morphemes are more common there . if anything , that should make it easier to reconstruct latin , since you have more to work with . ( of course , the morphology of romance languages is much better known than that of the languages of s . america , which also helps ! ) so if latin would be very imperfectly reconstructed , what hope is there for native american languages ? has anyone ever attempted , as an exercise in the comparative method , reconstruction of latin from the romance languages , then compared the results with the real thing ? or reconstruction of any other attested language from its descendents ?

sum : representing retroflex summary : representing retroflex at the beginning of the month i posted a query that asked for information on an alternative way of representing retroflexed segments as dorsalized coronals instead of [ - anterior ] . warm thanks to those who responded : philip hamilton phamilto @ epas . utoronto . ca richard desrochers desrochr @ ere . umontreal . ca wechsler wechsler @ world . std . com suzanne urbanczyk suzanne @ oitunix . oit . umass . edu mark verhijde mark . verhyde @ let . ruu . nl stig eliasson stig . eliasson @ ling . uu . se here is a list of annotated references followed by contributors ' excerpts on the following topics : 1 . against dorsalization 2 . origins of coronal domination of retroflex : sanskrit evidence 3 . phonetic features of retroflex blevins 1994 . course notes from the 1994 australian linguistic institute . cho , y . 1990 . parameters of consonantal assimilation . phd thesis stanford about sanskrit retroflexed elements . the claim made here is that retroflexation equals the formation of segments that contain two place nodes , cor and dor , i . e . what some have defined as a " complex " place . interestingly , in assuming retroflexed segments as having two place nodes , some neutralization effects at right word edges fall out quite naturally . ( verhijde ) dixon no title given . 1980 . languages of australia assumes a feature [ + retroflex ] , as does hamilton 's 1993 toronto paper . eliasson , stig 1986 . sandhi in peninsular scandinavian . in : henning andersen ( ed . ) , sandhi phenomena in the languages of europe , 271-300 . berlin : mouton de gruyter . postalveolarization or retroflexion is a most important sandhi process in swedish and norwegian , and the major part of the above article is devoted to that problem . ( eliasson ) gnanadesikan , amalia no title given . nels 24 1993 . the feature geometry of coronal subplaces . university of massachusetts occasional papers in linguistics 1993 she argues against the feature [ anterior ] for defining coronals . i believe that retroflexes are represented as [ - distributed ] [ + back ] where [ back ] is dorsal . ( urbanczyk ) hamilton , philip 1993 . no title given escol 93 paper on coronal articulation 1993 . no title given toronto working papers in linguistics 1993 . keating , patricia 1991 . coronal places of articulation in the special status of coronals , paradis and prunet , eds . phonetic clues on coronal articulations prince & smolensky 1993 : 179 , citing kirchner 's university of maryland ma thesis . 1 . against dorsalization hamilton : i am currently working on a paper where i argue against dorsalisation more fully , based on a variety of evidence : retroflexes are transparent to + back vowel harmony ; all of the evidence for interaction between retroflexes and back vowels is from very low level phonetic facts ( there are no lexical alternations backing front vowels : / rti / going to [ rtu ] ) and there is never _ neutralisation _ of a lexical back / front contrast conditioned by retroflexes , all that is attested is that front vowels have backed allophones when beside a retroflex ; retroflexes are based represented with a feature dependent on an apical node , since the lack of heteroganic apical clusters may be elegantly expressed with an ocp constraint on adjacent apical nodes . 2 . origins of coronal domination of retroflex : sanskrit wechsler : the presently-orthodox account of retroflection being dominated by the coronal node receives a lot of its support from the sankrit " rnati " rule . in this rule , if i recall it correctly , n - > rn anywhere to the right of a retroflex consonant , but intervening non-nasal alveolars block the rule . this kind of interaction between retroflection and the coronal node appears in other places as well ; the one i ' ve studied is in warlpiri , where historically there was a rule that partially unretroflexed a retroflex stop unless it was closely followed by another retroflex . there are other reasons why you might want to avoid involvement with the dorsal tier - - all the vowels live there , and you would have to explain why they are transparent to assimilations involving anteriority . a 3 . phonetic origins desrocher : ladefoged ( 1974 [ 1971 ] : preliminaries . . . ) speaks of retroflexes ( rxs ) as apical postalveolar and gives the example of ewe . he adds : " in some south asian languages the retroflex consonant involve only the tip of the tongue and the back of the alveolar ridge , whereas in others there is contact between a large part of the underside of the tongue tip and much of the forward part of the hard palate " and elsewhere , he speaks of the " extremely retroflex sounds which occur in some indo - aryan languages " ( hindi , gujerati , penjabi , and so on , i guess ) and when characterizing everything with the spe features , describes rxs as [ - ant , + cor , + high , - back , - low , - dist ] . spe refers to zwicky ( 1965 , his dissert . ) as describing convincingly sanskrit s . as [ - ant ] ( actually , [ - comp ] ) and spe seems to favor the natural class apicals + rxs [ - dist ] as opposed to laminals + non - rxs [ + dist ] . they refer for these matters to ladefoged 1964 a phonetic study of w - afr languages , and maintain that distinction between dentals and rxs support a [ dist ] feature . malmberg ( 1974 , manuel de phonetique generale ) writes that rxs are produced with the tongue markedly curved backwards towards the hard palate , but his diagram , as ladefoged 's , indicates that this the very front of the palate , or the back of the ridge , that is touched by the apex , and mentions south - italians dialects and of course , india . hockett 1958 makes an interesting comment : he says that the same acoustical effect than in the rx in " bird " is achieved by some english speakers not by curling back the tip , but by a " peculiar contour of the central part of the tongue , the tip being held behind the lowe teeth " . further comments , corrections , and questions welcome - - beau

Or cayenne. Or ginger. (mm ask me about ginger root play). And let me tell you this: just because a child happens to be
single-parented (what a word), does not mean that child is dysfunctional
or lives in a dysfunctional home. The govt/media/church has tried to make
it look like there is a disintegration, when in fact, there is a coming
together of other family members and friends to raise children. It's not
decaying -- it's changing. Nothing wrong with change.

" the move underscored the tumultuous conditions that have been sweeping over the houston energy - trading concern in the past 10 days . enron is the nation ' s largest energy trader and is a principal in nearly one - quarter of all electricity and natural - gas trades . yesterday , for example , enron was involved in about $ 4 billion of deals through its enrononline unit . since early last week , enron ' s share price has plummeted 50 % . last week , it reported a $ 618 million third - quarter loss and a reduction in shareholder equity of $ 1 . 2 billion . it also disclosed that the securities and exchange commission is conducting an inquiry into billions of dollars of transactions it did with entities connected to its former chief financial officer , andrew s . fastow , who was replaced wednesday . the draw - down of the credit facilities came as one rating agency , fitch , put enron on review for a possible downgrade , while another , standard it takes time to sell assets , particularly in today ' s slower economy . the company also is suffering from a string of disclosure controversies that have damaged its credibility , particularly in connection with its dealings with mr . fastow , the former chief financial officer . internal documents related to one of the fastow partnerships disclose that enron also did as much as hundreds of millions of dollars of business with an entity connected to another company official , who has since left enron . while enron disclosed its fastow - related transactions in sec filings , a computerized search of the sec ' s database of public filings produced no reference to this other employee - related entity known as chewco . chewco was established in 1997 " with approximately $ 400 million in capital commitments " to buy an interest in enron assets , according to one of the partnerships documents . the document didn ' t further specify what assets were purchased , and it didn ' t disclose the financial impact of the transactions for either chewco or enron . chewco was being run by michael kopper , a managing director in enron ' s global equity markets group , according to the document . enron , which has maintained that its complex financial transactions with employee - related entities were legal and properly disclosed , didn ' t have any comment regarding its dealings with chewco . mr . kopper , who enron says left the company this year to focus on helping to run the fastow - related partnerships , didn ' t return phone calls . a person at his office in houston yesterday said mr . kopper was traveling . in response to questions about chewco , an enron spokesman would say only that " michael kopper was never an executive officer of enron . " mr . fastow repeatedly has declined interview requests . he severed his relationships with the partnerships in july . this statement is an apparent reference to sec disclosure regulations regarding related - party transactions . under sec rule s - k , a company has to report any transaction that exceeds $ 60 , 000 and involves " any director or executive officer . " by contrast , mr . fastow , as cfo , would have fallen into that category , but mr . kopper , as managing director of a business unit , presumably wouldn ' t have . however , reporting guidance issued by the financial accounting standards board seems to have a broader definition , one that might include mr . kopper . according to fas statement 57 , a related - party transaction involves a " material " piece of business between the company and a member of management . the statement defines management as directors , top officers , vice presidents in charge of major business units and " other persons who perform similar policy - making functions . persons without formal titles may also be members of management .

" many sales by enron insiders were concurrent with options exercises or sales followed soon after option exercises . strong selling by company officers and directors amid share - price declines should raise red flags for investors , says jonathan moreland , research director of insiderinsights . com , who uses insider - trading data to zero in on investment ideas . among other insiders selling during the year , kenneth rice , former chairman and ceo of enron ' s broadband unit , sold shares for $ 23 . 7 million . mr . rice has sold 456 , 966 shares of the 1 . 5 million shares he was listed as owning in enron ' s march proxy filing . former enron chief executive jeffrey skilling - - who resigned in august - - sold 160 , 000 shares for $ 9 . 8 million during the year . in march , mr . skilling owned 1 . 9 million shares . messrs . rice and skilling couldn ' t be reached to comment . overall , enron ' s insiders were busier selling shares last year , when they sold 5 . 8 million shares for about $ 449 million . during 1999 , insiders sold 3 . 4 million shares for $ 123 . 1 million . since december 1999 , only one enron executive has reported buying company shares . the buyer was andrew fastow , who was ousted during the week as enron ' s chief financial officer after the company disclosed it was under a securities and exchange commission investigation into financial ties between the company and mr . fastow . mr . fastow reported purchasing 10 , 000 enron shares in august at $ 36 . 98 each , or a total of $ 369 , 800 . today , those shares are valued at $ 163 , 500 , based on enron ' s stock price of $ 16 . 35 in 4 p . m . new york stock exchange composite trading . after the purchase , mr . fastow owned 110 , 586 shares , thomson financial / lancer analytics says . enron said mr . fastow wasn ' t available to comment . on monday , a new york law firm filed suit in u . s . district court in houston , alleging that enron misrepresented its performance by failing to disclose problems with its broadband division and failing to properly write down the value of investments in limited partnerships managed by mr . fastow . the suit , which seeks class - action status , also says enron insiders sold $ 73 million of their own enron holdings during parts of 2000 and 2001 . copyright ? 2000 dow jones & company , inc . all rights reserved . credit markets enron ' s financial troubles reverberate to bonds with poor liquidity and credit - rating concerns by jathon sapsford and suzanne mcgee staff reporters of the wall street journal 10 / 26 / 2001 the wall street journal cl 5 ( copyright ( c ) 2001 , dow jones & company , inc . ) new york - - enron corp . ' s bonds have held up better than its battered stock amid escalating financial woes at the energy - trading powerhouse . not for long , some bond traders say . in trading yesterday , the houston company ' s five - year bond , a $ 250 million issue due in july 2006 carrying a coupon of 6 . 4 % , was quoted at 82 cents on the dollar , down from a bid of 88 late wednesday , and representing a 16 % drop during the past two weeks . that is far less than the 50 % decline in enron ' s stock price since the oct . 16 disclosure of a $ 1 . 01 billion charge linked to soured investments , resulting in a $ 618 million third - quarter loss . but the fall in the bond ' s price translates to a yield of 7 . 7 percentage points above bellwether u . s . government bonds , which is a widening from about three percentage points two weeks ago . although enron still is an investment - grade credit , that kind of " spread " is more characteristic of a junk bond with a credit rating of single b or lower . enron sought to assure the markets that its finances were sound , disclosing late yesterday that it drew down more than $ 1 billion on its bank credit lines to shore up its finances . yet even as enron was tapping its lifeline , investors were finding it difficult to trade big blocks of enron bonds . yesterday ' s 82 bid , for instance , was for a block of less than $ 2 million in bonds , a small percentage of a typical trade . fueling the uncertainty surrounding enron were fears that credit - rating concerns will lower ratings on enron debt after it recently conceded a slew of troubles , including losses , a securities and exchange commission investigation , and the sudden resignation of its chief financial officer . " even at these levels , there ' s very little buying interest , " said harold rivkin , a principal at distressed - debt trader h . rivkin & co . in princeton , n . j . in one sign of the ripple effects , the price investors pay to protect themselves from losses on enron debt was surging . the cost of a " default swap " - - in which an investor pays another investor to take a chunk of debt at face value in the event of default - - rose to 10 % of the size of the credit being insured . that was up from 8 % a day earlier , and more than holders of lucent technologies inc . debt had to pay at the height of that technology company ' s troubles earlier during the year . even with its woes , enron remains an investment - grade company . most credit - rating agencies rate enron ' s senior unsecured debt at several notches above the noninvestment - grade level . yet fitch said yesterday it put enron ' s credit rating on watch for a possible downgrade , following a similar move by moody ' s investors service last week . ( standard & poor ' s , a division of mcgraw hill cos . , stopped short of putting the company on its creditwatch list , opting instead to revise its long - term ratings outlook to " negative , " citing concerns about the company ' s financial flexibility . ) meanwhile , the weak bond prices are a sign that the markets are bracing for the worst . " these are investment - grade bonds that are migrating toward distressed levels , " said glenn reynolds , an analyst at credit sights inc . , an independent fixed - income research firm in new york . " they aren ' t distressed yet , but they are headed in that direction . " if enron ' s credit ratings fall , it would have implications far beyond the company ' s ability to raise money . for an energy trader , a credit downgrade sends a signal to other participants in crucial markets about its ability to make good on its commitments . enron makes markets in a variety of commodities . though it is best known for trading electricity and natural gas , the company also is a huge force in the markets for other commodities such as lumber , metals , bandwidth capacity and steel . as a market maker matching buyers and sellers , enron handles about a quarter of all the trading in the nation ' s energy and gas markets . enron ' s credit - worthiness is hugely important . the better its credit rating , the cheaper it can hedge , or offset , its positions in all these commodities markets through derivatives and pass on savings to customers . without that credit rating , the cost of this high - margin , high - volume business starts to rise . a derivative is an instrument whose value is linked to , or derived from , that of an underlying security or asset , such as a stock , bond or commodity . " even if the company does retain its investment - grade rating , the perception that this might be at risk will start to affect their core businesses , " said mr . reynolds at credit sights inc . " any prudent risk [ manager ] at enron ' s counterparties " - - any institution on the other end of a financial agreement with enron - - " is going to be examining their exposure to enron , and looking for ways to minimize it or offset it , " mr . reynolds said . to be sure , enron , despite its recent woes , remains a strong company , credit analysts said . " i don ' t think anyone ' s seriously thinking that this is a company that would ever default , " mr . reynolds said . " so far , our research shows that their counterparties and their banks are sticking with them , " said ron barone , managing director of standard & poor ' s utility energy project finance group . " no one has cut credit lines or asked for additional collateral that we have identified . and customers have publicly stated that it ' s business as usual . " yet analysts say the arrival of distressed - debt traders on the scene could make life more difficult for enron and its management . traders expect enron ' s new chief financial officer jeffrey mcmahon and chairman kenneth lay to make the rounds of wall street next week , meeting with rating agencies , debt - trading desks , big bond holders and banks , including j . p . morgan chase & co . and citigroup inc . treasurys treasurys rallied on optimism that the federal reserve may cut interest rates more than previously expected after a spate of economic reports that documented how weak the economy was after the sept . 11 terrorist attacks . prices also gained as the market finished digesting the week ' s flood of treasury , corporate and agency debt issues . at 4 p . m . edt , the benchmark 10 - year treasury note was up 13 / 32 point , or $ 4 . 0625 per $ 1 , 000 face value , at 103 20 / 32 . its yield fell to 4 . 537 % from 4 . 588 % wednesday , as yields move inversely to prices . the 30 - year treasury bond ' s price was up 22 / 32 point at 101 11 / 32 to yield 5 . 284 % , down from 5 . 330 % wednesday . fed policy makers are slated to meet on nov . 6 . also providing support for longer maturities , the treasury department made another repurchase of issues outstanding . it received offers for $ 5 . 04 billion in callable 30 - year bonds , of which it accepted $ 1 billion . the offer - to - cover ratio , an indication of demand , was 5 . 04 . treasury buyback par par high wtd avg coupon mat amt amt accept accept % date offer accept price price 7 . 125 02 / 23 807 0 n / a n / a 11 . 750 02 / 10 235 0 n / a n / a 10 . 000 05 / 10 490 0 n / a n / a 12 . 750 11 / 10 471 0 n / a n / a 13 . 875 05 / 11 104 0 n / a n / a 14 . 000 11 / 11 203 0 n / a n / a 10 . 375 11 / 12 587 0 n / a n / a 12 . 000 08 / 13 974 0 n / a n / a 13 . 250 05 / 14 473 0 n / a n / a 12 . 500 08 / 14 725 39 3152 . 20 152 . 19 11 . 750 11 / 14 7826 0 7148 . 25 148 . 13 amounts in millions , prices in decimals . * amount outstanding after operation . calculated using amounts reported on announcement . corporate bonds motorola inc .

" so is this a stock to avoid , in his view ? hardly . goldman on wednesday did bump enron off its " u . s . select list , " which consists of a few dozen top stock picks - - but mr . fleischer continued to keep the stock on the firm ' s larger but prestigious " recommended list " of 200 or so favored stocks , where it has been since he joined goldman in 1993 . " just because i can ' t be specific in being able to create a simple model . . . doesn ' t mean that you write off that industry and say ` i can ' t analyze it ' or ` i can ' t figure it out , ' " says mr . fleischer , who owns an undisclosed number of enron shares . " if that were the case , there would be an awful lot of industries we couldn ' t follow . " enron ' s shares have dropped about 50 % since last week . " every sell - side analyst we spoke to early in 2001 admitted that this was a black box , " says jim chanos , principal of kynikos associates in new york , who has been selling enron stock short - - trading it with an eye to profiting from its fall - - throughout this year . " it was really a trust - me story , when all the evidence was mounting that there was reason to question that level of trust . " true , no stock picker is immune from bad calls . and wall street analysts long have been criticized for their overwhelmingly bullish bias , particularly on stocks in hot sectors with lots of investment - banking deals to be had . but enron stands apart , precisely because so many of the analysts still recommending the stock have acknowledged that the company ' s disclosure practices are lacking . which raises the question : how can an analyst recommend that others purchase a stock when key information about the company ' s operations is so often either unavailable or indecipherable ? concerns about the way that enron runs its business aren ' t new . many of the issues now plaguing enron ' s stock were first raised more than a year ago by bearish hedge - fund managers and independent accounting experts . yet time and again , wall street analysts dismissed as unimportant many of the lingering questions about the company ' s various partnership transactions . besides those partnerships , enron also has been dogged by concerns about the secretive valuation techniques it uses to record its assets and earnings . through it all , most analysts have stuck by this onetime stock - market darling , publicly dismissing questions about the firm ' s accounting practices and level of disclosure . as of yesterday , of the 17 analysts who following the stock , 10 had a " strong buy " or equivalent rating on the stock , according to thomson financial / first call . five others rated the stock a " buy , " though not strongly . only prudential securities , which downgraded the stock this week , has a " sell " rating on enron . the bullish treatment is the latest and one of the most high - profile examples of wall street taking a glass half - full stance , despite what in retrospect seems to be ample warning that a less - enthusiastic approach was warranted . over the past year in the wake of the nasdaq composite index ' s general collapse , analysts have been widely assailed for a lack of independence - - particularly those who , like goldman ' s mr . fleischer , own shares in the companies they cover . regulators have raised concerns that analysts have compromised themselves to help their firms land lucrative investment - banking fees and other revenue . enron has spread the wealth across many wall street firms . for instance , for one $ 865 million equity offering in 1999 led by ` credit suisse first boston , enron retained seven co - managers , including donaldson lufkin & jenrette , lehman brothers and merrill lynch . " enron is a big company , and i don ' t think you ' re going to find a firm that hasn ' t been involved , " says credit suisse first boston analyst curt launer , who still rates the stock a " strong buy " with a $ 40 price target . " they pay a lot of investment - banking fees to wall street . " he adds , " we do our analysis every day based on the information we have . are we here strictly to defend companies ? that ' s ludicrous . we ' re here to provide information to investors . . . . yes , i have the wrong recommendation on the stock . i don ' t think my analysis has been as wrong as the stock has performed . " mr . fleischer , whose firm also has served as an investment banker to enron , calls his holding " a meaningful investment " that is " not small . " but he disputes any suggestion that his objectivity is compromised . mr . fleischer says his clients " are happy to know " he has a stake in enron , because it shows he puts his money where his mouth is . in his research note wednesday , mr . fleischer called for complete disclosures of enron ' s off - balance sheet partnerships . despite the resulting difficulty he acknowledged facing in developing financial models for the company , he wrote that he and many other investors historically " have given enron the benefit of doubt because of its strong growth in earnings " and position as an industry leader . " there ' s not information to really model this and be able to predict accurately where revenues are going to come from and where they ' re going to make their money , but every quarter they do , " he says . " it ' s hard to get inside to know all the transactions , but they do deliver . " csfb ' s mr . launer also has been a longtime defender of the company , occasionally issuing research reports to rebut critical stories about enron in the financial press . on monday , he wrote that he expects questions about enron ' s partnerships and accounting disclosures to continue , but that he remains " confident in the businesses and operating growth prospects for [ enron ] and an ultimate recovery in the share price . " " i know i ' m wrong on the stock , " mr . launer says . but he says that at these prices , he isn ' t ready to throw in the towel because he figures that even in a worst - case scenario - - under which he envisions enron having to issue as much as $ 2 billion worth of shares , diluting current holders - - the stock doesn ' t have much further to fall . clearly , messrs . launer and flesicher aren ' t alone . " even in relative terms , analysts remain very bullish on this stock , " says chuck hill , director of research at thomson financial / first call . the average rating for a stock on wall street is 2 . 2 , or slightly shy of a " buy " rating . enron scores a 1 . 6 . " this may turn into a classic case of locking the barn door after the bad news is out , " mr . hill says . in downgrading the stock this week , prudential analyst carol coale bumped it to " sell " from " buy , " with a brief stop at " hold . " while she is the only analyst to recommend investors sell the stock , she openly concedes her recent downgrades come " too little , too late . " ms . coale says enron has been difficult to cover for years . she says the company ' s disclosure practices fall far short of ideal , and senior executives are often evasive , even when presented with direct questions . for instance , she says three weeks ago she asked enron management if the company was under investigation by the securities and exchange commission . they said " no , " she says . in light of the company ' s acknowledgment this week of an sec " inquiry , " she asked enron about the previous denial .

' ' mr . pitt talks of companies ' ' getting it right the first time , ' ' which would certainly be nice . but there is a risk that companies will become more aggressive in their accounting , figuring there will be no real penalty , like a restatement , if they are caught . that would make life harder for auditors who try to resist misleading accounting . in trying to sound comforting to the accountants ' group - - an organization that , as he noted , he had represented as a lawyer for two decades - - mr . pitt has done little to reassure investors of his independence . the proof , of course , will come in the performance . fortunately , the mess at enron gives the s . e . c . a golden opportunity to counter the puppy image . it will take time for the commission to determine if the company ' s accounting was proper . but there need be no delay in forcing enron to clearly explain - - rather than obfuscate as it has so far - - the strange deals it made with partnerships run by the executive just ousted as chief financial officer .

" the economy is perhaps our greatest asset as we move forward in these efforts to fight the war on global terrorists , " says betsy holahan , a department spokesperson . " war bonds are an additional way for americans to show their patriotism . " for the record , we don ' t think an issue of war bonds would be dumb , just superfluous . after all , nothing ' s stopped americans from buying generic savings bonds - - or better yet , treasuries - - all of which finance spending by the federal government . in the meantime , it ' s a little dislocating to hear politicians talk up war bonds - - which most people associate with hardship and sacrifice - - at the same time top economic gurus are practically begging people to shop . war bonds notwithstanding , we ' re a long way off from the era of ration books . 3 . enron again last week , we noted the extent of alarm about enron ' s ( ene : nyse - news - commentary ) revelation that its shareholder equity had dropped $ 1 . 2 billion , following some unusual and possibly inappropriate high - level transactions . following that disclosure , besieged cfo andrew fastow has finally left the company on what ' s delicately termed a " leave of absence . " in july , fastow exited a limited partnership , from which he had reportedly reaped large profits , after shareholders and analysts objected to his involvement . concerns about those dealings and others had increased in the wake of the disclosure about the charge to equity until even management acknowledged fastow would have to go as a prerequisite to restoring investor confidence . but that won ' t be an easy task , given the resentment about enron ' s disinclination to explain its problems . one analyst called fastow ' s departure " unsettling , " noting that management had given the cfo its endorsement only the day before . sounding a note of exasperation , analysts at j . p . morgan chase , banc of america securities and prudential all downgraded the stock . and there could be more trouble to come : the securities and exchange commission has issued enron a letter of inquiry related to some of its transactions . 4 . gold diggers it ' s understandable that investors felt panicky in september . unfortunately , some reacted by shoving their hard - earned money into gold funds . according to financial research corp . , which tracks fund flows , the specialty precious - metals category was the best - selling equity category during september , with net inflows of $ 101 million . granted , that ' s not a huge sum in the mutual fund world . by comparison , during the same month , large growth funds saw net redemptions of $ 7 . 4 billion . but the fact that so many people are jumping into precious metals is noteworthy , given that gold funds have performed so badly for so long . sure , under the bizarre circumstances of late , they ' ve enjoyed somewhat of a pop . according to morningstar , the average precious - metals fund is up 10 . 08 % year to date . but over the past five years , the same category lost an embarrassing 14 . 68 % . by comparison , even large - cap growth funds - - everybody ' s favorite whipping boy - - managed to post a positive return . in the same period , they were up 7 . 13 % . moreover , circumstances that would seem to be the most favorable in decades - - a combination of attacks on the u . s . government and war - - still don ' t seem to have boosted gold prices significantly . despite an initial surge in prices after the terrorist attacks , they ' re again approaching their pre - sept . 11 levels . it ' s too early to say , but it ' s likely the gold bugs will confront disappointment once again . 5 . amazon amazes once again amazon ( amzn : nasdaq - news - commentary ) still maintains it will become profitable by the fourth quarter . well , at least it will post a pro forma operating profit . ok , so maybe that wouldn ' t include amazon ' s service on $ 2 . 17 billion in long - term debt or extraordinary charges . in fact , a pro forma operating profit is basically just an accounting concept that would lend a fuzzy , meaningless aura of minor triumph . the company still hasn ' t said when it will turn an economic profit . for that matter , even the fourth - quarter prediction is iffy . after announcing the company expected to turn the pro forma operating profit , cfo warren jenson added the humble qualifier , " there are no guarantees . " amazon simultaneously lowered its forecast for fourth - quarter revenue , predicting that sales would be somewhere between flat and up by 10 % compared with a year ago . third - quarter trends weren ' t encouraging . though sales overall were up slightly in the third quarter from a year ago , revenue from the company ' s core books and music business actually fell 12 % . at least the company has made progress in cutting costs : a spokesperson says pro forma operating expenses have decreased by 20 % over the past year . incidentally , in the wake of amazon ' s earnings report , two analysts made the belated decision to cut their ratings on the stock , which has fallen 93 % from its high back in december 1999 . merrill lynch analyst henry blodget and sg cowen analyst scott reamer downgraded the stock to " neutral " from previous buy ratings .

" the move underscored the tumultuous conditions that have been sweeping over the houston energy - trading firm in the past 10 days . enron is the nation ' s largest energy trader and is a principal in nearly one - quarter of all electricity and natural - gas trades . thursday , for example , enron was involved in about $ 4 billion worth of deals through its enrononline unit . since early last week , enron ' s share price has plummeted 50 % . it has reported a $ 618 million third - quarter loss and a reduction in shareholder equity of $ 1 . 2 billion . it also disclosed that the securities and exchange commission is conducting an inquiry into billions of dollars of transactions it did with entities run by its former chief financial officer , andrew s . fastow , who was replaced wednesday . the draw - down of the credit facilities came as a major rating agency , fitch , put enron on review for a possible downgrade while standard & poors changed enron ' s credit outlook to negative from stable . moody ' s investors service has already said it is looking at a possible downgrade . in order to fall below investment grade , enron ' s credit rating would have to fall several notches . if that were to happen , however , a host of bad consequences could follow . together with the sharp decline in its stock price , a noninvestment grade rating would throw the company into default on obligations involving billions of dollars of borrowings . in that event , enron could be forced to issue millions of shares of stock to holders of that debt , diluting the value of existing shares . as of 4 p . m . in new york stock exchange composite trading , enron shares were down six cents at $ 16 . 35 . copyright ( c ) 2001 dow jones & company , inc . all rights reserved . copyright ? 2000 dow jones & company , inc . all rights reserved . enron chief executive resigns from board of i 2 technologies 10 / 25 / 2001 associated press newswires copyright 2001 . the associated press . all rights reserved . dallas ( ap ) - kenneth lay , the chairman and chief executive of embattled enron corp . , has resigned from the board of software company i 2 technologies .

" they created an environment in which their credibility was put to the test and they didn ' t come through with flying colors , " said christopher ellinghaus , an analyst at williams capital group in new york . enron shares have been falling all year for reasons new and old , which have little to do with the company ' s wholesale energy business , which accounts for roughly 80 percent of profits . analysts insist wholesale energy marketing can be profitable even in the face of an economic downturn and falling natural gas and electricity prices .

' ' enron reported $ 1 . 01 billion in losses from investments outside the principal business of trading commodities such as electricity and natural gas . chief financial officer andrew fastow resigned yesterday as the u . s . securities and exchange commission asks for information about related - party transactions he conducted . ` ` the s & p write up was very positive , ' ' said dorothea matthews , an analyst at creditsights inc . , a research firm . ` ` it seems that the ratings company went out of its way to tray and calm things down .

' ' long - term capital management , a private investment fund for the wealthy , incurred massive losses making bond trades during the 1998 russian currency crisis . the fund ' s portfolio plunged . more than a dozen banks bailed out the fund at a cost of $ 3 . 6 billion to avoid a collapse . needs cash daily enron trades electricity , natural gas , coal and other commodities worldwide , as well as complex financial instruments to hedge against price swings in the goods . ` ` as of now , enron is active in the markets , ' ' kilduff said . ` ` no one is cutting trading lines that i can see , or demanding different terms than before . ' ' companies that trade as heavily as enron require cash every day to settle positions , said kilduff , whose company swaps natural gas and other energy investments with enron . some days , fimat will bet that natural - gas prices will fall , while enron bets that they will rise . natural gas usually does one or the other every day , and someone pays the difference . ` ` the liquidity of your trading partners is a risk factor , ' ' kilduff said . ` ` someone is paying someone else every day . ' ' enron said on a conference call tuesday that it has enough money to operate normally , and can fall back on $ 3 . 4 billion in bank credit lines if necessary . the company is determined to protect the credit rating , enron has said . ` ` we aren ' t even going to entertain worst - case scenarios at this point , ' ' said enron spokeswoman karen denne . investor questions enron , based in houston , ousted chief financial officer andrew fastow yesterday , two days after the u . s . securities and exchange commission began asking questions about partnerships he ran that invested in company shares . those trades cost enron $ 35 million . jeff mcmahon , head of enron ' s industrial markets unit , replaced fastow , who went on leave of absence . enron shares have fallen 49 percent in the past week . they fell 6 cents to $ 16 . 35 today . based on bloomberg composite ratings , most of enron ' s long - term debt is rated at bbb 2 and bbbl , two or three levels above investment grade . fitch , standard & poor ' s and moody ' s all rate the company ' s debt at investment grade . the company also faces questions from investors about $ 3 . 3 billion in potential liabilities from affiliated companies formed to buy and sell enron assets such as power plants . the affiliates owe payments to bond investors and plan to meet them by selling assets . enron doesn ' t know if the sale proceeds will cover the debt . the company would have to make good on any shortfall . little time enron asked citicorp inc . on tuesday to arrange a $ 750 million loan to ensure access to credit if the company gets shut out of the money markets . enron had about $ 1 . 85 billion of commercial paper , or short - term unsecured debt , outstanding as of tuesday , traders said . the company , which has a $ 3 billion program , has had difficulty finding buyers for new commercial paper sales since the sec investigation was announced , the traders said . today , enron offered two - week commercial paper at a 3 percent yield , 10 to 15 basis points above comparably rated companies . ` ` there appears to be enough liquidity to give them enough time to get their house in order , ' ' said jon kyle cartwright , senior energy credit analyst at raymond james in dry seasons , when the dams can ' t operate as well , enron pays the district . ` ` if enron ' s credit went bad , or they folded up , that agreement wouldn ' t get picked up by someone else , ' ' tracy said . enron also helps many u . s . utilities protect themselves from electricity and natural gas price fluctuations in the same way it helps the sacramento utility district hedge against too little rainfall . any impairment on enron ' s part to continue doing so would trickle down to main street utilities , tracy said . ` ` utilities would start reserving more on their balance sheets for price swings , ' ' tracy said . - - russell hubbard in the princeton newsroom at 609 - 750 - 4651 , or at enron broadband begins closing london , singapore offices by erwin seba of dow jones newswires 10 / 25 / 2001 dow jones energy service ( copyright ( c ) 2001 , dow jones 713 - 547 - 9214 ; erwin . seba @ dowjones . com copyright ?

( creole : collection of reusable objects for language engineering . currently creole supports only algortihmic objects , but will be extended to data objects . ) a common model of language data resources would be a set of inheritance hierarchies making up a forest or set of graphs . at the top of the hierarchies would be very general abstractions from resources ( e . g . lexicons are about words ) ; at the leaves would be data items that were specific to individual resources . programmatic access would be available at all levels , allowing the developer to select an appropriate level of commonality for each application . note that although an exciting element of the work could be to provide algorithms to dynamically merge common resources what we ' re suggesting initially is not to develop anything substantively new , but simply to improve access to existing resources . this is not a new standards initiative , but a way to build on previous initiatives . of course , the production of a common model that fully expressed all the subtleties of all resources would be a large undertaking , but we believe that it can be done incrementally , with useful results at each stage . early versions will stop decomposing the object structure of resources at a fairly high level , leaving the developer to handle the data structures native to the resources at the leaves of the forest . there should still be a substantial benefit in uniform access to higher level strucures . program committee - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - yorick wilks hamish cunningham wim peters remi zajac roberta catizone paola velardi maria teresa pazienza roberto basili bran boguraev sergei nirenburg james pustejowsky ralph grishman christiane fellbaum

re : regrouping of enw budget discussions wes and team had preset the meeting schedule and topics to be covered in each . the outline that i sent you with the changes for the remainder of this week is simply our best attempt at fitting coordinating topics around people availability and the meeting schedule that had already been set . the schedule that we have been working with that wes provided did not allocate two hours for the friday meeting . if you had set aside two hours , that had not been communicated to us . there were only two one - hour meeting slots on that schedule . one for enw from 1 - 2 and one for research from 3 - 4 . i have a major conflict on friday - i committed months ago to attend a meeting that ken lay asked to be involved in that is in the woodlands that runs through the evening hours . . only because beth perlman is out on thursday for a religious holiday , i decided to " skip out " from this meeting to be here on friday afternoon to discuss the operations and it development budgets together . in order to minimize my time away from the woodlands meeting , i orchestrated the time swap with vince kaminiski so that we could have our enw meeting at 3 : 00 . i will talk with you later today and fill you in on the commitment for ken lay . maybe we can work together for a scheduling solution that works for both of us . i would appreciate your help on that , louise . scheduling issues aside , wes suggested that we also review with you the ees budget that enw has prepared . our approach so far has been to determine the appropriate and necessary spend for 2002 for expense and capital for all of the services that enw provides to support the ees business . we have done this without regard to who will cover which expenses - ees or ea . that is a separate issue from understanding the services that need to be provided and our best estimate at costs . we are prepared , however , with a suggested split on the costs for discussion purposes . i have assumed that the decision on cost sharing or allocation would be made between the offices of the chair for ees and enw . if you would like to cover all of enw ' s budgets together , both for ees and ea , then it would make more sense to set a longer block of time ( maybe 3 hours ? ) . i will bring my schedule to our meeting at 11 : 00 today to cover the canadian budget and we can work out a schedule that works for both of us . we will be prepared to discuss pricing per transaction , but will hold that until the end of our meetings when we have been able to review with you the components of costs and the detail of capital projects . our review of costs and projects in effect will serve as our " scope of engagement " discussion . a service provider would never quote a firm price until agreement had been reached on the scope of the engagement . we will have a straw man for discussion on that . - - sally - - - - - original message - - - - - from : kitchen , louise sent : wednesday , september 26 , 2001 8 : 23 am to : beck , sally cc : piper , greg ; pickering , mark ; colwell , wes ; killen , faith ; roper , kerry ; schoppe , tammie ; valdez , christina subject : re : regrouping of enw budget discussions i am expecting an all in cost for this service - what do we achieve in separation . i had allocated two hours on friday to do this from lpm until 3 pm . are you not intending an all in cost ( per transaction ) of it and operations ? if you believe that the outline below works then go ahead , do we just have the total number debate on fridy - if so let ' s start at 2 pm . thanks louise - - - - - original message - - - - - from : beck , sally sent : tuesday , september 25 , 2001 7 : 36 pm to : kitchen , louise cc : piper , greg ; pickering , mark ; colwell , wes ; killen , faith ; roper , kerry ; schoppe , tammie ; valdez , christina subject : regrouping of enw budget discussions louise , to make our enw budget discussions most meaningful , we felt that coupling discussions of the operations and it development budgets will make the most sense . to insure that we have the appropriate attendees in our enw 2002 plan meetings and to schedule these meetings around thursday as a religious holiday , i have worked with wes colwell and made a trade with vince kaminski to make all of this happen . there is no change to your calendar in terms of date , time or location of meetings . we have simply realigned topics and attendees as follows : date time location revised group revised attendees wed , 9 / 26 11 - noon eb 3314 canada support ( unchanged ) wes colwell , faith killen , louise kitchen , sally beck , rob milnthrop , bob hall ( added - responsible for ea operations , including calgary ) thurs , 9 / 27 1 : 30 - 2 : 30 eb 3316 enw : eol & infrastructure wes colwell . faith killen , louise kitchen , sally beck , mark pickering , jenny rub , greg piper , kerry roper , brad richter ( added - eol ) , jay webb ( added - eol ) fri , 9 / 28 1 - 2 pm eb 3316 research wes colwell , faith killen , louise kitchen , vince kaminiski ( no changes ) 3 - 4 pm eb 3314 enw : operations & it dev . wes colwell , faith killen , louise kitchen , sally beck , beth perlman , mark pickering , greg piper , kerry roper , bob hall ( added - ea operations ) i look forward to reviewing details with you in each of these meetings . - - sally

re : qs : kinship terms sebastian adorjan dyhr 's question prompts me to put the following question to the list at large : does there exist in any language a word which means purely " the other parent of one 's child " in the strictly biological sense ( i . e . no legal , social , etc overtones ) ? formally , b is a 's x if a and b are the two parents of a child . what is x ? ( there is no lack for the parents ' relation to the child : in english even " sire " and " dam " are usable for humans - just ! ) . nb : ad - hoc contrivances like " co-parent " earn no marks ! ted .

request book information earlier this morning i was on the phone with a friend of mine living in south america . as we were talking in spanish , he said : " si voy a la liberi ' a , comprare ' el libro " which can be rendered into english as " if i go to the bookstore , i will purchase it " . i found this expression a bit unusual so i asked him saying that he really meant to say " si fuese a la libreri ' a , comprari ' a el libro " or " if i were to go to the bookstore , i would buy it " to which he said to me , " ah , the subjunctive is dead in spanish ! " . weather this is a matter of subjunctive discussion or not , is something to be left for another time . nevertheless , he mentioned in the course of our conversation that there is a book ( a spanish translation of a french original ) titled something like " la muerte del subjuntivo " or " the demise / death of the subjunctive " . does any one know of this book ? or books which may deal with similar content ? any and all help will be appreciated . joseph m kozono < kozonoj @ gunet . georgetown . edu >

re : 6 . 1049 , sum : e - mail citation on occasion i have heard or read papers , usually on discourse , that use as data excerpts from the conversation or interview books by studs terkel ( such as _ working _ or _ the good war _ ) . as a resident of chicago , i have the opportunity to hear studs terkel 's daily radio program broadcast on wfmt . once in a while , i have happened to read a passage in one of the books within a few days of hearing the same interview in a broadcast , and i have noticed that the published version does not correspond exactly to what is on the tape . that is , studs terkel edits the material for style before it goes into print . i had the opportunity to confirm this in a brief conversation with studs terkel on saturday afternoon , 29 july 1995 . ( he 's a lot haler than any 85 - year-old could expect to be . ) first , when i told him his works were being used as data by linguists , he was immensely pleased , and he said , " you ' ve made my day " ; but he also confirmed that he edits the words of his subjects before he publishes them , and gave me his blessing to announce this to linguists who may be interested . the conversations in terkel 's books give every impression of being the genuine words of the people who speak them - - and they would certainly recognize themselves in the excerpts - - but studs terkel is a very accomplished literary artist , and does n't want his work to be acclaimed as the ipsissima verba of his workers , his soldiers , or any of his other subjects . i ' m sure he 'd like to receive copies of papers that cite his writings ; you could send them to him c / o wfmt , 303 e . wacker drive , chicago , il 60601 . - peter t . daniels , pdaniels @ press-gopher . uchicago . edu

Why am I so passionate about decentralization? Because I believe some of
today’s most profound problems with networked applications are caused by
centralization.Generically, a centralized political or economic system permits only one
answer to a question, while decentralization permits many separate
agents to hold different opinions of the same matter. In the specific
context of software, centralized variables can only contain one valid
value at a time. That limits us to only representing information A)
according to the beliefs of a single agency, and B) that changes more
slowly than it takes to propagate. Nevertheless, centralization is the
basis for today’s most popular architectural style for developing
network applications: client-server interaction using request-response
communication protocols.I believe these are profound limitations, which we are already
encountering in practice. Spam, for example, is in the eye of the
beholder, yet our email protocols and tools do not acknowledge the
separate interests of senders and receivers. Slamming, for another,
unfairly advantages the bidder with the lowest-latency connection to a
centralized auction server. Sharing ad-hoc wireless networks is yet a
third example of decentralized resource allocation. Furthermore, as
abstract as centralization-induced failures might seem today, these
limits will _not_ improve as the cost of computing, storage, and
communication bandwidth continue to plummet. Instead, the speed of light
and human independence constitute _fundamental_ limits to centralized
information representation, and hence centralized software architecture.

small cap stox can sizzle the contact center industry few people today know exactly what a contact center does . its predecessor , the call center , brings to mind large telemarketing operations with people calling your house during dinner time . but the fact is that the contact center is much more than that . we see 800 numbers everywhere - the back of our credit cards , the fast food drive - thru window , i ' ll bet even your bottle of water has a phone number to call with questions . the fact is that wherever there is an 800 number , there is a person answering the call . not just a person , but millions of people in north america alone , across a staggering 76 , 000 + contact centers . it used to be the contact center only handled inbound customer service calls and outbound sales calls . that was before the proliferation of the internet - now these same customer service reps are waiting for our phone calls , our faxes , our emails and our web chats . we can call from our offices , home phones , cell phones - even from our computers - americans generate hundreds of millions of transactions each year for contact centers and the industry has grown by leaps and bounds . so aggressive is the growth that today , we are as likely to get someone in california to answer our call as we are to get someone in india . * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * contact centers in north america handle millions of transactions each year . for each type of transaction there is a technology that supports it . automatic call distributors for inbound calls , interactive voice response systems ( the dreaded " press 1 " ) for self service , email and web servers . in the midst of all of this disparate technology , contact centers began to lose track of a very important piece of their puzzle : information . * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * the contact center industry is one of the most data intensive industries . think about it - even if you order a pair of shoes , the contact center has your name , phone number , mailing address , billing address , credit card information , etc . the contact center also has information on each and every one of their employees and all of their activity . every call they received , how long they talked , how long they placed people on hold , how many calls were transferred . until now , no single piece of technology can track information on all people regarding all activities , for one simple reason . the activities are all generated and tracked by different technologies . human science systems , inc . ( hmns ) company overview : human science systems , inc . ( pink sheets : hmns ) is a contact center software development firm . its flagship product , central authorityt serves one main purpose : to be a single point of contact for all data generated in the contact center . central authorityt can track and disseminate all data generated in the contact center , regardless of the technology where the data originated . central authorityt is a contact center resource management ( ccrmt ) product . ccrm is the act of managing data regarding all human , physical and technical resources within the contact center . contact center resources can all be categorized under four distinct umbrellas : employees , technology , capacity , and clients . it may be hard to believe , but the reality is that all functions within the contact center fall under one of those four categories , and our company has come up with a method and a technology that allows departments to easily exchange and leverage valuable data on a real - time basis . " * why hmns should be on your radar : 1 . datamonitor states that the us contact center market reached a volume of 76 , 000 contact centers in 2001 and that by the end of 2006 that number will exceed 79 , 600 contact centers . 2 . contact center reporting and data tracking has always been burdensome , more so with the incorporation of the various technologies required to successfully compete in the industry . 3 . today ' s contact center requires a responsiveness that can only be achieved with timely and accurate insight into business conditions , but this is not easily accomplished in the absence of methods and technology to easily collect data from numerous disparate sources . 4 . contact centers are looking to replace manual or semi - automated methods of data collection and dissemination because they are not only burdensome , but highly inaccurate and complex . 5 . hmns principals have an established track record as industry experts going back over 15 years and have high level contacts in all of the top tier contact centers . top tier contact centers generate over $ 100 million per year within the north american market . 6 . hmns has patentable methods and technologies and recently retained a well known technology patent attorney to process its applications for the protection of its intellectual property . 7 . a recent report by empire research associates stated that the company could achieve rapid market share penetration in the contact center industry market segment and that a 5 % market share level in five years would be plausible . with a mere 5 % market share , a 40 % sales margin ( fully taxed ) would imply $ 10 million of net income in 2010 . in that event , the report noted that on the present 17 . 6 million shares , earnings would exceed $ 0 . 50 per share . the report concluded that " the target market is large and enticing to hmns and we believe the company ' s product has a good chance of hitting it ! " 8 . the company is negotiating distributorships through software distributors that currently generate billions of dollars in revenue from the center industry . 9 . hmns will generate revenue not only from software sales , but from application service provider ( asp ) services ( from customers that " subscribe " to the technology and access it by the internet ) , from installation ( billable at 12 % of the total software sale ) , and recurring maintenance ( recurring annual revenue billable at 18 % of the value of the software ) . 10 . datamonitor recently estimated the global market for call center component technologies at $ 4 . 1 billion , and predicts an increase to $ 5 . 5 billion by 2007 , growing at a 6 . 0 % compounded annual growth rate . 11 . gartner also reports positive and stable growth for software distributors , stating that end user spending was to exceed $ 76 . 1 billion by the end of 2005 . 12 . last year alone , u . s . banks were forecasted to spend $ 1 . 9 billion on contact center technology . * management and other comments : lou mandic , hmns ceo & president : " this technology was born out of years worth of research . we are well engrained in this industry and are keenly aware of its needs . we are without a doubt delivering the most mission critical software in the industry today . we anticipate rapid growth , which is not uncommon in our industry . by its fourth year of operation , blue pumpkin - a company that provides only a portion of what central authority offers - had already captured a 7 % market share . a far lesser market share will have our company earning better than $ 10 million annually . " company philosophy : " if you can measure it you can manage it . " * things to consider : according to empire research , the company has a competitively superior product , a large enough market to support sustained rapid growth , and a proprietary market position that can provide handsome profit returns . hmns is in the process of establishing distributorships with companies that annually sell billions of dollars worth of software to contact centers . hmns has buy - out appeal and has already been approached by far larger players that may later be interested in acquiring the company and / or its intellectual property . how the technology works central authorityt is a software product that fills the role of a central repository of data . through meta data tables , the software is able to " read " all other technologies , and act as a central point of contact for the enterprise . the software also collects data inherently ( this is data entered directly into central authorityt , not collected from other systems ) on employees , recruiting sources and performance , enabling the organization to better manage its human resource processes and reducing its turnover , which can be as high as 200 % in the contact center industry . * conclusion : the problem with inter - departmental communications is not exclusive to the contact center industry . it is a problem for corporate america as a whole . companies like human science systems are delivering the next mission critical piece of software - one that can normalize all data , across all technologies , and act as a single , central point of contact for the enterprise .

begin forwarded text To: rah@philodox.com Subject: Internet Defamation Suit Ends With Defense Verdict Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2002 10:08:41 -0400 (EDT) From: SomebodyInternet Defamation Suit Ends With Defense Verdicthttp://www.law.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/View&c=LawArticle&cid=1028320303259&t=LawArticleTechJohn Council Texas Lawyer 08-05-2002In one of the first trials in the country to address Internet defamation, a Dallas County, Texas, jury last week rejected a $700 million suit by an Internet company that claimed it was harmed by negative electronic messages posted by an employee of a competing company.ZixIt, a Dallas Internet company, filed ZixIt Corp. v. Visa International, et al. in 1999, alleging it was harmed by Paul Guthrie, then a vice president with Visa. ZixIt alleged in its suit that Guthrie posted more than 400 anonymous messages, many of them negative, about ZixIt on the Yahoo Finance ZixIt Internet message board, causing ZixIt's stock price to drop.The suit also alleged that the postings destroyed the company's ability to market its ZixCharge Internet transaction authorization system, which allows consumers to make purchases without revealing their credit card numbers to merchants. Visa has a similar Internet payment system.ZixIt alleged that the postings caused its stock price to plummet. Had the product been successful, the company believed it would have been worth more than $1 billion, according to lawyers involved in the case.On July 31, a jury in Judge Merrill Hartman's 192nd District Court found that ZixIt's product was not harmed by the postings.Neal Manne and Kenneth McNeil, lawyers from Houston's Susman Godfrey who represented ZixIt at trial, did not return calls for comment by press time."The company hasn't made any decision about an appeal," says Cindy Lawrence, a ZixIt spokeswoman. "The outcome of the lawsuit doesn't have any effect on our future products and services in e-messaging."GETTING GRADEDVisa's lawyers alleged that Guthrie acted on his own and had a right to free speech, and that Guthrie's Internet postings had no effect on ZixIt's stock. Guthrie has since left Visa, lawyers for the company say. Guthrie was not a defendant in the case. However, his interests in the case were represented by Todd Noonan, an attorney in Sacramento, Calif.'s Stevens & O'Connell. Noonan was recovering from surgery last week and was unavailable for comment."I think people believe whether you succeed or fail [is] because of what you do and not what other people do to you. Internet companies didn't succeed for all sorts of reasons," says Jeff Tillotson, a partner in Dallas' Lynn, Tillotson & Pinker, who defended Visa at trial.ZixIt's case was a hard sell to the jury, especially with the reality of the economy, Tillotson says."Everyone knows that the stock market has fallen and the trouble with Internet companies. I think the jury took that into account," Tillotson says.There were lessons to be learned from the Internet defamation trial, says Mike Lynn, who also represented Visa at trial. Even though message boards are considered a protected form of free speech, that freedom won't prevent a company from being dragged into court if its employee blasts another company on the Internet, Lynn says."A company can be responsible for what an employee posts on a message board," Lynn says. "The courts have said you're entitled to go to a jury to determine whether there are damages as a result of that. The law is very odd, not mature, [and] damage theories are not mature."The nature of the case also added an interesting twist to the trial, Tillotson says. Many of those who posted messages on the board attended the trial and posted comments about the daily proceedings throughout the three-week trial, he says."It was apparent to everyone that many of the people who posted on these message boards were watching the trial," Tillotson says. "It really was wild. The lawyers felt like they were being graded."-- --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R. A.
