>you on e-mail yet?

yep.

i got a computer at home, and am finally working.  i got a job at the new
york times working on their website.  it is pretty cool so far, but this is
my first week, so it is hard to tell.  i haven't written a line of code
yet, but i sure have read a lot of awful code.

the people seem nice.  one of them is a vegan too, but unfortunately he is
leaving soon.

i got a new apartment too.  that is pretty darn exciting, but it was so
expensive to move in that i won't have any money left for furniture.  oh well.

my two friends are staying with me still.  they have been here for a month
and two months, respectively.  i am starting to get really annoyed with
them but am trying to be nice anyway.  most of the time it works.

well anyway, how are you?

Subject: RSI: Help for joint inflammation
Cc: dyie@reise.Corp.Sun.COM
Status: RO
X-Status: 

Toss this if you're tired of hearing about various aids for RSI.  I'm
sending it just because it came onto my computer--I know nothing about her
or her advice.  Judy

Excuse the long, personal email.

Please forward this to any lists for
RSI or other painful joint conditions
if you think this is valid.

Since many have posted advice regarding
support groups for repetitive stress,
I would like to offer my OWN experience
with pain from that, in addition to
arthritus inflammation and pinched
nerves around the same type of pain.
I have been told to take lots of
pain pill, muscle relaxers, anti-
infammatories, etc, and all have
nasty side effects and little relief.

I have been even more anti-medical
since my primary care advised me to
just take 12 advils a day for arthritus.
(That or immune suppressing drugs!!)

I finally found some great books with
studies and first person reports
that Vit B5 - PANTHETHENIC ACID
works best for severe inflammation and
joint pain.  It's an inexpensive vitamin,
our bodies do not store any excess,
but at the same time our reqular
health and fitness diet plans
do not include even the RDA which is
only 10 mg... There are some people
who have been on hundreds and even
a thousand milligrams to get their
condition under control and then
can level out to around just a
couple hundred mg a day and throw
away all drugs with side effects
or cut down to occasional mild
doses, for as long a 25 years (and
I am convinced it's not a placebo
but I am not a doctor and am only
sharing my personal success. Every
book I've read mentions everyone
is so different, what works for one
may or may not work for everyone else).

The second thing I found out is
that our diets traditionally
(through processing, etc.) are
too high in omega 6 oils and too
low in omega 3 oils (olive, canola
flaxseed are best) and that causes
an enzyme to produce a protein
disturbance which flares up the
immune system to attack itself.
Some interlukin thing does the attacking.
This is linked not only to heart attacks &
diabetes, but any immune system diseases.

I have gone from 24 hr excruciating pain,
stiffness, swelling, etc. to hardly anything
and only 1 advil ocassionally and I have
only been trying these two supplements
for less about a week!! BIG DIFFERENCE!!!

If you think it's worth checking out
please find a reputable health store
and see what they can help you with.
Or swing by the library or book store.
One idiotic doctor wanted me to see
a rhumatologist and when I looked at
the web page for National Arthritus
Foundation and saw they consider
immune suppressing drugs a treatment,
I said SCREW THAT!! Not in this life!

Hope you don't think I'm being silly.
I just don't have confidence in
most mainstream western medicine.
What do you think? I think:
Since it's up to each consumer to
manage their health, I say why not try
something better, and take charge
of our bodies and our future health.

          Leonard N. Stern School of Business
                  New York University

              Computational Finance (CF99)
               January 6, 1999 (Tutorials)
               January 7 - 8 (Conference)

The sixth international conference Computational Finance (CF99) 
will be held at NYU's Leonard N. Stern School of Business. CF99 
is sponsored by the New York University Salomon Center, the 
Center for Research on Information Systems and the Department 
of Statistics and Operations Research.

Computational Finance has emerged as a genuinely cross-
disciplinary research meeting. CF99 is the sixth in a series of 
conferences that have been sponsored by the California 
Institute of Technology and the London Business School. In the 
past, this conference was called Neural Networks in the Capital 
Markets (NNCM). The expanding set of computational tools has 
moved this meeting from its original emphasis on neural network 
techniques to a broad spectrum of different methodologies.

With several hundred attendees, this fully refereed conference 
has become an international forum where original research in 
advanced computational applications in finance is presented and 
discussed. CF99 brings together decision-makers and strategists 
from the financial industries, with academics from finance, 
statistics, economics, information systems and other 
disciplines.  In the last few years, the conference has seen 
papers covering many different computational techniques 
including: statistical machine learning, Monte Carlo 
simulation, data mining, knowledge discovery, bootstrapping, 
genetic algorithms, nonparametric methods, information theory 
and fuzzy logic.  Applications in many different areas are 
welcome, including but not limited to: risk management, asset 
allocation, dynamic trading and hedging strategies, 
forecasting, numerical solutions of derivative PDEs, exotic 
options and trading cost control.
 
Studies may cover any major international financial market 
including equity, foreign exchange, bond, commodity and 
derivatives. The conference emphasizes in-depth analysis and 
comparative evaluation with established approaches. 

CF99 begins with a full day of tutorials designed to inform the 
diverse group of participants on a selection of the latest 
tools and research results. Tutorial speakers include Professor 
Stephen Figlewski of the Stern School of Business.  The 
conference also features several invited speakers sharing their 
expertise from both the academic and applied perspectives.  The 
keynote speaker is David E. Shaw, PhD, Chairman and CEO 
of D. E. Shaw & Co., Inc. 

The conference will have several talk and poster sessions for 
accepted papers. A selection of the presentations will be 
invited to appear in a volume published by Kluwer Academic 
Publishers. 

Submissions to CF99:

Authors who wish to present papers should submit four copies 
along with full contact information, including e-mail 
addresses, to:
 
CF99 / Andreas Weigend 
Information Systems Department 
Leonard N. Stern School of Business 
New York University 
44 W 4th St., MEC 9-171 
New York, NY 10012, USA

E-mail: cf99@stern.nyu.edu 
Web: www.stern.nyu.edu/cf99

All submissions must be received by August 15, 
1998. Full papers are preferred, but extended 
abstracts clearly stating the results are 
acceptable. Only original, relevant research work 
will be accepted.

Registration material will be put up on the Web at 
www.stern.nyu.edu/cf99 in August. 
Deadline for early registration is December 1, 1998.

The Stern School:

Founded in 1900, the Stern School has grown into one of the 
most highly ranked business schools in the world. A talented 
and diverse student body benefits in many ways from Stern's 
long-standing excellence, top faculty and its central New York 
City location. Stern offers several specializations in 
computational finance that include a highly quantitative MBA 
financial engineering track, an MS in statistics with 
specialization in financial engineering, and PhD programs in 
the fields of finance, statistics and information systems. 
Further conferences, symposia and workshops at Stern for 1999 
include Derivatives: What's New?; Market Risk: Advances and 
Challenges; and Data Mining in Finance.

Hey, it's better than my typing, so beware.  :)  And, as I recall, it's

That's good to hear.  Making any plans for your life after school yet?  (I
think I hear you screaming.  :)

Well, sort of.  We are doing some web design in hopes of getting some
money for software and hardware upgrades to eventually do some game
design.  Stacy and a friend of hers are currently learning the graphic end
(she does digital art; he does 3-D stuff at Wil Vinton Studios.)  So, if
ten years from now, you hear of a strange new game with great graphics but
less than stellar programming (The programmer we know is a tad bit flaky.)
You can smile and say, "Hey, I know those folks."  :)


I talked to Kathy recently, she said that Todd seemed to be doing well in
Arizona.  It's funny, because I still have to giggle when I think of Todd
being perky.


Have you heard from Phil lately?  Yes, I know I could just send him email,
but I prefer to live life a bit more vicariously.  :)


Oh yeah, my life is exciting.  I've spent the last six weeks waiting for
my new computer to come from Apple. Apparently they're a little
backlogged.  Imagine that.  Oh well.  I was supposed to start taking some
computer science classes at PSU in the fall, but I don't think I'm going
to be able to do it, because they are having some issue with defining my
residency.  That's sad.  I was looking forward to taking some classes, but
I can't afford to pay the nonresident tuition (nor would I want to pay
that much to go to PSU.)  So then, I thought maybe I should go to art
school, but that's no good, because it doesn't defer my loans.  I guess I
just get to wait until January.  Then my mom's tax return from last year
won't matter.


On another note: I got a puppy.  We named her Iphigeneia.  You should hear
the women at the vet try to pronounce it; it's truly beautiful.  My
favorite?  i-fig-ne-a.  They'd be safer to stick with the nickname, Genie,
but they always want to try.  :) 


See, that lousy receptionist job has done one thing for me:  Check out
these typing skills!!!


:)

Geez, I'm smiley today.

Well, that's it for now, I should probably take the dog out and head
off to bed soon.  I have to get up in the morning.  Grr.  :)  Talk to you
later.

sh
aka lots of stuff that you never called me anyway, so we'll leave it at
that. :)

Cornell is prett neat so far.  I've liked almost everybody I've met,
although the social life for a grad student is considerably more limited
than that of an undergrad.  My advidsor sounds really cool,m but he's out
fo town until next week.  My connection is really slow, so I'm not going
to go back and ix anything, or I'll go nuts.  

It's gorgeous around here right now, but the snow has yet to fall.  What's
most impressive about here (despite the massive throngs fo girls) is  the
really transnational nature of this university.  I'm living with someone
from Korea and somebody from France, and there are lots of people (some of
different colors, even!) around.  I like the variety after Caltech.

Looks liek I picked the right field; I'm getting to largely structure my
own course fo study, which i hear is a big problem in the more tehnical
fields.  next week we're going to geta lecture from a visiting scholar
who's goign to give a paper on how science grad students are routinely
exploied by teh university system.  Seems fairly clear to me (at elast, we
all knew it at Caltech), but humanists never miss a chance to chuckle at
the expense of the higher-paid.  =)

Gotta run; I'm going to have a class in an hour, and I have to eat dinner
before then.

Dude, it's good to hear from you! And such a long message! That mean your
RSI is getting better, or do you have some good speech-to-text software? (If
you want some good software like that, let me know - just look around
http://www.beyond.com/ and let me know if there is something you want.)

Things are okay. Yeah, still got job stress, but I'm a bit more content
these days with work and the rest of my life. Much better than I've been for
the past year, that's for sure. I've been a tad more busy (thank god!) so
instead of sitting around thinking about shit, I go out more.

There's so much to tell, but I'd rather talk to you. When's a good time to
call? And what's your number again?

I'm happy to hear you're doing fine out there, but I'd still rather have you
home here in S.F. I had a lot of fun as well with the little time we spent
together. You're a good friend, and I miss you. The closer friends I'm
finding are getting to be fewer and far between. With you and Kevin gone,
and James and I apparently not talking, I'm a bit stuck for guys to talk to
about some stuff.

On the flip side, though, I'm spending a lot more time with females
(yahoo!), so that's good. I've been hanging out with Shehara again, and I
see Sequoia from time to time. We're supposed to go out tonight (all 3 of
us) to Cobb's Comedy Club, and tomorrow night I'm going out drinking and
dancing with Shehara and some of her work buddies. (I've already asked
Shehara if she's sure she wants me slamming tequila poppers at the Cadillac
Bar with her work friends, and she said it should be fine. :-)

Dude, I am happy to say that although I may not be dating (yet), it's nice
to know I'm slowly surfacing again. I didn't think I'd be able to after last
summer. That was an all-around negative female experience with both my
breakup and permanently damaging my friendship with Heather. Throw the fact
that I don't seem to be all that close to Cabot anymore, and you have a high
potential for doing negative things to oneself.

Well, must get back to work. I miss you, dude. COME BACK. I did. You should,
too. And bring Ginger with you. :-) (No joke. I want her to move out here.
Tell her so.)

Yours,
Chris

Chris, it was good to get your e-mail.  I'm sorry I'm not written soon.

How come you were depressed? Was it just the stress of work or is some
other stuff going on? I'm glad to hear that it passed, and I hope that it
has not resumed with any significant degree.

I have to say that the little I saw of you over the summer was good, and
it is just further evidence that I should move to San Francisco as soon as
possible.  Unfortunately, but also for my own code, MIT is doing well for
me.  I admit that I even like it, and am having a good time.  Finally I
have found a place here, with people to talk to, stuffed to do, and booze
to drink.  Scratch the last comment.

Anyway I just wanted to drop a line saying hello, and that I missed you.
I talked to Jon the other day and apparently you are taking him into the
city this week.  It makes me happy when I have friends that talk to each
other, so I hope that dinner goes well.  I would gather that you're taking
him to the city means that he is somewhat of an interesting person to you.

Say hello to Kenny, and give him my love.  Tell him I am jealous of his
new game Shogun.  I look forward to playing it with him when I return.  I
will come back for Christmas/winter break, and I look forward to seeing
you then.  Please tell me why not going to the east coast for family stuff
over the entire time.  I would hate to have to strangle you the next time
I see you.

princeotn is very cool.  quite a non-geeky place, given all the artists
around.  i'm taking a class from an oscar winning director, on use of
large copmuter driven display walls.  it looks liek i'll also be able to
take a class 'art for computer graphics,' in the visual arts dept.   and
yes, allof it is very exciting! :)

Someone said ``if you serve it, they will eat it'' and so it was.  We
laughed, we cried, we ate, and we discussed what the heck those Boca
Burgers were made of, all the while knowing that we'd never really know 
the answer.  But it didn't matter.  It was food with our friends and,
more importantly, it was free.

Thanks to everyone who came and made the fall BBQ a big success, with
a special thanks to:

    Jill ``Get out of that corner and stop crying!  There *must* be
    charcoal somewhere.'' Fekete for making *everything* possible.

    Erik ``What don't you get?'' Miller without whom we would not have
    had team names and T-shirts.

    Mark ``We don't need no stinkin' bat'' Foltz for taking the
    initiative and getting some softball equipment despite have little
    to no instruction from me.

    Christian ``I feel like a man now that I've built a fire'' Shelton and
    Polina ``Luckily it only took you an *hour*'' Golland for their
    expert veggie cuttin', fire startin', and just plain down-home know how.

    Raquel ``Wake me up when the inning is over'' Romano for leading the
    Students of Sadistic Advisors (SOSAs) to their crushing 24 to 11 loss
    to the faculty and staff's all-star McWires.

and to all the others who dared to dream of September evenings in
Boston without snow or rain.

Seriously, thanks to everyone who helped so I could sit back and take
all of the credit :-).

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

X-Status: 

I did a bit more work today.  I ironed out a few more bumps and added
something new to the combat section: a bit on doing short actions while
fighting, like taking a sip of water, drinking a small potion, or kicking
a sword on the ground.  Given that rounds are 15 seconds long, one ought
to be able to do some things and fight at the same time.  I did the usual
hand-waving stuff and pinned it on GM's discresion after suggesting two
likely alternatives (1) an attack penalty of some sort, or (2) not being
able to attack but being able to do the action while fulling defending.

I'm tempted to reorganize combat and create an optional rule section,
sticking a bunch more stuff we now have as manditory in there.  For
example, all of the cool but weird attack options might go in there (all
combat actions - shield attacks, etc., called-shots, stun/shock roll,
armor wear and tear (already optional), fatigue rolls - these always
seemed to bog things down to me, rage and fury, and stuff like this).  We
could then have a really short, concise basic system that is presentable
in just a few pages from start to finish.  We could, if it softens the
blow, have core, recommended, and optional rules sections.  This way we
could still present the combat system in its bare bones and then
recommend certain of the rules to people - like combat actions.  I guess I
favor easing people into our rules, not because they are hard or complex
in the end but because they appear very daunting even to me.  The summary
at the beginning does help some, but it seems like we could do more, just
laying out the necessary mechanics.

Hope I'm not blashpheming here...

Wow! I almost caught you on the computer.  (I fingered to see if you're
hands allowed e-mail at all.)

Just thought I'd check to see how you are doing.  Besides, the last person
I knew here just left on Sunday.  It's going to be a long three months.

Oh yes, "here" is Washington, DC for now.  As luck would have it I get to
be a Washington intern at the height of all the scandal.  At least I'm not
at the White House!  I am currently at the American Association for the
Advancement of Science.  It's a good job and all, but I eagerly await my
return to California this December.  DC doesn't seem to suit me. 

My future is totally uncertain of course.  In a fit of indecision with
respect to real life, I have decided to go back to grad school.  Who knows
where and in who knows what, but I have a few ideas.  In the real world I
have fallen back into my usual introversion so I haven't actually met
anyone outside of work, though I've been here for three months.  I'm
hoping that Academia will once again bring out the best.

Anyway, I shouldn't blather on too much.  

How goes it, though?  I hate to lose touch.  [Speaking of which, I found
an old old friend of mine recently through the web.  We were best friends
in 1st grade.  I hadn't seen her in something like 15 years.  I managed to
catch her in DC before she flew out to Lilongwe, Malawi for the Peace
Corps.  It was pretty wild to catch up on a lifetime.  You never know what
your friends get into.  Now I have a penpal in Malawi, hee hee!]

If e-mail hurts you can find other contact info from my .plan file. 

Take care,
Myfanwy

Dear folks,

A friend forwarded this announcement to me on a series of talks by Arthur
Ganson.  While I'm regretfully underexposed to his work, I've heard great
things of it from others in TMG -- Ganson's work seems very relevant to our
activities.  All three of the talks look very interesting!

Twas the night before Halloween, and all through the house,

for those of you who died waiting, but we had to find some
furnature first.)

DETAILS:

October 30th 1998. Night.

it's gonna be a craaazy PARTY- Costume Party!

WEAR A COSTUME.
there will be an $80 charge for no costume, but
you can always pick up a hanburger from McDonalds
and rub it on your face and be 'crazy hanburger face'
for  Halloween.

TIME/FOOD/DRINKING:
------------------------
If you want food, you have to bring something
to share (potluck, sort of deal),and come a little earlier.
If you just want to partake of the drunken revelry, or 
whatever it is one might find to do at a party besides eat, 
just come over a little later.

COME ON OVER!
The address is 24 Hardwick St. Go to the back door and buzz

If you need directions, go look at http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py

Forward this to anyone you want to come who doesn't wreck 
stuff when their drunk.

We'll try to have enough toilet paper to last the night, but
I'm making no promises.

Ok, I'll tell you how well.  I got 670 on Mr. Verbal.  The best I've ever
done on a verbal section of a standardized test.  790 on Mr. Quantitative and
800 on Mr. Analytical.  I was completely shocked by Mr. Verbal coming up to
me after the test and saying how disappointed he was in me for not knowing
all the obscure words and then he still gave me a 670.  Heh.

Actually my statement of purpose goes something like this:

"I like taking things apart.  In order to understand how things work, I
disassemble them into their principle components and study those components
individually.  Then I piece them back together, studying the interactions
between subsets of components and eventually rebuild the whole.  This is what
science is to me.  It is learning techniques to perform systematic
deconstruction of natural systems and then applying those techniques to
characterize the components of the system, the interactions of those
components and finally to reconstruct the system..."  Blah blah blah.  And
how the next step in my career is to either work on the development of those
techniques or apply those techniques to an undercharacterized system.  Yadda
yadda yadda.  And then about how biophysics makes sense.  And then about how
the understanding of complex systems with hundreds of interacting componenets
requires a more fully developed vocabulary than we currently have to even
describe.  And how if I could aid in the definition of one word in that
vocabulary I would die a happy man.  (or somesuch shit).

How much is truth?  How much is fiction?  I have no idea.  But it seems to
jive with a lot of the way my brain works.  Hell, I kinda figured out why I
don't want to be a doctor or an engineer through this process.

A man walks into a Silicon Valley pet store looking to buy a monkey. The
store owner points towards three identical looking monkeys in
politically-correct, animal-friendly natural mini-habitats.
"The one on the left cost $500.00," says the store owner.
"Why so much?" asks the customer.
"Because it can program in C," answers the store owner.
The customer inquires about the next monkey and is told, "That one cost
$1,500.00, because it knows Visual C++ and Object-Relational technology."
The startled man then asks about the third monkey.
"That one costs $3,000.00," says the store owner.
"Why so much?!!" asks the now shocked man, "What can it do?!!".
"To be honest, I've never seen it do a single thing but it calls itself a
'Consultant'".


A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces
height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and
shouts:
"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"

The man below says: "Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet
above this field."

"You must work in Information Technology" says the balloonist.

"I do" replies the man. "How did you know."

"Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically
correct, but it's no use to anyone."

The man below says "you must be in management."

"I do" replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going,
but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were
before we met, but now it's my fault."

Hi Luke!

I just wanted to reiterate how wonderful it was to talk to you.  It
has been some time since we've connected, but despite this, we still
seem to relate so easily, without resorting to weather discussions and
the like.  I guess it's been awhile since I've enjoyed a truly
meaningful conversation.  I'm sorry to hear you're not finding grad
school entirely fulfilling, but it does sound like you're also
enjoying writing, theatre, and other things beyond AI.  I look forward
to talking again soon, and especially seeing you in December!  I have
the teachers' benefit of a long holiday break, so maybe we could
organize a short back-packing trip or something?

Buenas noches,

Laralyn

As all probably know in one way or another, I too have been having
troubles with myself and Roadkill.  This is most often exibited by my in
general poor mood during rehersals.  I figure I should say why I have been
so disallusioned, etc.

Before you read further, know that I feel I am perhaps damaging the group
with my constant negativity.  After this following rant I will try to curb
my snippy attacks and general pissiness.  But please read what follows and
consider it, and hopefully understand where I am coming from.  All of this
for me mainly stems at frustration with myself and my lack of ability in
Improv.  I hate my current level and want to change it and I feel I can't
given how things are now.  I _really miss_ the rehersal days of yore.  I
left feeling good about myself, eager for more.  I used to look forward to
mondays very much and now I go simply because I can't stand the thought of
brooding about it in some corner.  This saddens me, but I think we can all
make the decision to change.

First, as I just said, I feel that the beginning of last year we were both
focused on rehersals and willing to both have a good time and goof off. 
There was a core of people who both showed up every week and were ready to
focus on working on Improv.  This has, I feel, declined to where if people
even show up they are unwilling to expend the energy to really work on
Improv.

This semester has been especially bad.  Many rehersals have been
essentially cancelled for lack of attendence.  Rather than the (admittidly
lame and slightly broken) attempts at critque and self-improvement, we
have moved to a reluctance to say anything concrete about anything we do. 

I too, know I am in no way a natural Improver, but I feel that by working
with a group of dedicated folk it would be possible to advance, however
slowly, in my ability.  But what we have now is a sick joke--resting on
our laurels, we goof off occasionally and then think this justifies
putting on a show. 

How did people like our last show?  Well, of the people I talked to many
said it had its points, but in general was not so great.  There is better
improv out there now, we are no longer number 1.  These are poeple I
respect in their taste of theater as well as improv, and to have these
things said to me is, frankly, embarrassing.  Especially since I know that
as a whole we have put little to no effort into what we are doing.

Theater is by its nature a strenuous and demanding art form.  If you look
at any other group at MIT they have people willing to commit many nights
of their week plus a day of their weekends for it.  And we laugh at how
bad their results are often.  They are not bad due to a lack of talent,
but to a lack of time: how does this reflect on us?  We get by by the
inherent quality of improv of being able to make a non-sequiter or
one-line joke to get a laugh and entertain, but compared to improv found
in some of the other troups we have seen, or to some of our stuff from
last year, it is but a sad shadow. 

In talking with other improv groups about how much time they spend
rehersing, I came to realize that they rehersed a lot.  But at the time I
was told that they go to slacker schools and MIT is hard and demanding and
so we should not be expected to commit so much time.  So be it.  But we
are going to pay the price. All of my friends who saw any of the guests we
had last year said they far outshone us.

And what do we say to the musicians, thespians, athletes, politicos, etc.
who _do_ go to MIT and manage to serve their demanding schedules?  What is
our excuse now?  I need to know, because I am beginning to need to use it.

In other theater groups the excuse of homework is simply not tolerated. 
There is no question about it.  It is understood that everyone is an adult
and if they want to be a part of guild whatever, then they will plan their
schedules accordingly.  I find it hard to believe that these things are
being assigned on monday morning and are then due tuesday.

Basically I want us to either say we are going to get together to goof off
and have fun, and end this pretence of rehersing' so I can relax and blow
off steam with the rest of you, or to say we are going to actually make
some level of commitment.  This vagueness is killing me.

    As there is an increasing number of us interested in the constellation of

    organize a reading group around that set of issues.  Mike is tracking down
    some papers on Self Explanatory Simulations from his old stomping grounds; I'm
    assembling some papers on the work Tom Stahovich did here that appeared in
    AAAI 96 and IJCAI 97.

    Please let me know if you're interested, and if so, which of the following
    time slots works for you.

    Monday lunch (think and chew)

I just wanted to say that I feel the same way as Jessi and Luke.

I have heard some of the same comments about Roadkill performances as Luke.
Heck, the few times any of my other non-Roadkillian friends come to our
shows is for the freak value, not because they are impressed by what we do.
They just enjoy making fun of us.

I want to be proud of our performances ... I want people to walk away
simply and utterly amazed, even the people that came prepared to snicker.
However, I have such a low opinion of my ability that I doubt that I could
pull something like that off.  Much more dedication and true learning
needs to take place.

That's all I have to say per email.  I would like to discuss the topic 
face to face more. But I'd rather rehearse. So, does anyone want to get
together for dinner sometime this weekend and discuss this?  One must
eat, after all.  Heck, I would even volunteer the use of my kitchen
if people want to cook (I live a mile from MIT and less than a mile from
Star).  Just a random idea that I haven't edited yet.

Reading one of Ed's stories about frosh camp got me thinking about Max
Bloomfield.  I remember being miserable at frosh camp; the food was
terrible, I was sick of being told that I was going to fail everything, and
that the BOC would watch my every move.  Plus I hadn't brought a sleeping
bag.  I had a thermal blanket, one of those blankets with holes so that
when you put another blanket over it, it creates dead air pockets for
better insulation.  But back then I didn't know that's how it worked; I
thought there was just something sturdy and warm about the fabric itself.
There was a freezing-cold thunderstorm the second night, and I think I
survived only because I laid down on the concrete floor of the cabin with
the mattress pressed down over me.

Anyway, one of the positives of Frosh Camp was having Max Bloomfield in
my group.  He was the person in my group (because every group had one)
who asked all the "what if" questions at the BOC talk, and since my UCC
was Mike Nassir, it was doubly fun.  But even better was how he handled
William Glenn.  William was on a mission to find all of the black belts 
in the incoming class and recruit them into Tang Soo Do (somehow I got 
recruited too; William called me his "toy that wouldn't break").  I think 
there were seven of them, including Mikey, but Max was the most advanced, 
and the most _viciously_ trained.  He was a second-degree in Aikido, 
essentially Steven Seagal-type larynx-removal style stuff.  William liked to 
talk about how "Max practices gun take-aways for fun."  Al went to tap him
on the shoulder in Chem 1 once, and before he even touched him Max had
whirled around, grabbed his wrist, and bent it at a clearly
inappropriate angle.  Then he immediately let Al go and said "Whoa, sorry, 
don't sneak up on me like that, I tend to...react."

Now William treats martial arts as play-time, and is constantly trying
to dog Max into sparring with him.  The second night he's in our cabin,
dancing around, taking shadow punches at Max, who's just listlessly standing
there, barely paying attention.  All of a sudden he whips forward, and somehow
pins all four of William's limbs to his body or the ground instantly.  
William's completely immobile, with his face level with Max's, who leans in
real close and says, "I could kiss you now, and you can't hurt me."  There
was stark horror on William's face, and that was the end of play-time.  Too
bad Max didn't actually kiss him.

The other Max Bloomfield story I remember was Chem 1c.  Every day Dervan
would ask someone for a mechanism for some reaction, then put it on the
board with the label "Al's mechanism" or something.  One day he calls on
Max, who gets the right answer, and asks for his name.  Max says "Jeff",
which almost everybody knows is false, so we're all chuckling as Dervan
writes "Jeff's mechanism" on the board.  He goes back to lecturing, but
a few seconds later in mid-sentence, Max yells out "No, that's G-E-O-F-F."

funny, i have pictures of that.  i couldn't remember for the life of me
what prompted it.  the duct tape left my skin with a healthy pink glow,
as i recall.

personally, i called math 2b "math 2C", and math 2c was "math 2C-".  the
only thing i regret was not trying harder, because i know i just gave up
on math at some point frosh year, and managed to convince myself i
*couldn't* do it.  so i didn't.

i'd like to trade my Saturday, Nov. 7th opening of Dr. Doolittle.  I can work
Fridays and Saturdays, but generally not Sundays [with the notable exception of
this coming Sunday, the 25th].  I can take Pankaj's Friday closing this weekend
if Pankaj can take the Nov. 7th assignment.  This offer is good until midnight,
Thursday night.  If i don't hear from anyone before then, i no longer will need
to switch.

thanks!

I do not know who sang it first and although lyrics

accomodate with the singers' gender differences. 
enjoy! Marion

Alright, so I volunteered us for the show.
Basically, I did it because it'll give us an excuse to have an extra rehearsal
next week and we can do improv to feel good about ourselves and
improve.  I'm totally down with everyone who's been bitching
about not improve due to lack of rehearsal, but I can't chime in
because I myself recently missed a rehearsal and that would just be too
hypocritical.  Hey Tanis, I'm glad you do improv for yourself-
that's one of the reasons I do it to, but I think the general sentiment
is that it just makes us feel bad when we take up peoples time by
inviting them to come to our shows and then we don't give them
the entertainment we'd like to.  I feel my skills are just decent enough to
slide by with and have actually been pondering why I haven't been able to
improve lately.  I was thinking about what my Ju-Jitsu sensei said a
lot- when you reach a plateau in your ability that means it's
time to go back to working on your basics.
I'm not sure what that means in this context, but I'd love to discuss
it and I'm sure it involves rehearsing more.  Let's re-examine
Thursday rehearsals and maybe even do something as drastic as
having a new trial period (say a month) and just booting
everyone out who won't make the time to come to every rehearsal.
(speaking as someone with 5 classes, 2 h-level and a nasty
job in my frat, I think that's fair)
Anyway, I need suggestions for a time on Oct. 30.
I put forth 1:00, lemme hear some responses or that's what
I'll tell her.

Later kiddies,

Josh

Dear Luke,

Here is my comments on your report of Assignment-0 and the proposal of
Project-1. Hope this helps.

Hiroshi

-------
Assignment-0: "Brief Analysis of Enhancing Jewelry"
-------
Good analysis on the social and psychological aspects of jewelry.  The pair
of bracelets for virtual squeeze (and heat transmission) is a neat idea, but
also raises the issue of privacy.  Several variations of these haptic
interpersonal communication devices have been discussed in the past TI9#
classes, but it turned out that the implementation is quite tough since all
the mechanisms have to be put into a relatively small wearables.
How about teaming up with Dobson Kelly if you purse this path - haptic
interpersonal communication?

-------
Project-1: "video editing"
-------
Good application domain. Use of gesture such as banging together is good.
Durrel Bishop has done video editing interface design using physical
representation.  We have his CD-ROM, and I would recommend you to take a
look.

Can anyone tell me how the blackbox can return wrong info

ie if it says there is a matching can it be wrong?
If it says there isn't can it be wrong?

I assume it is never wrong if it says there isn't
or could it fuck up either way?

1)I assume you guys have this but here is my psuedo code for 1:

PerfectMatch(G)
   If G has no Edges Then Return[G]
   Let E <-- Random Edge of G
   Let G1 <-- G - (the nodes connected by E (and all their edges))
   If   HasPerfectMatch(G1)  Then
       Return[E + PerfectMatch(G1)]
   Else
       Let G <-- G - E
       Return PerfectMatch(G)


This runs at most O(n^2) times so it stays polynomial.


4)Have any of you guys had luck figuring out 4b???
Any hints (late into the game as it may be would be appreciated...)

Todd's answer for 4a is correct as far as I can see.
Think of calculating the probability that the resulting sample
is less than a given value, y.  In both cases its y^k
so hey sounds good to me.

Later,

Fernando

   Dear Prof Karger,

   on  handout #13, homework 6 due (10/29) (which you have erroneously(?)
   labeled "hw5"), problem 2, the question is confusing.

   are we to find two different solutions, both of which do not
   keep track of observed frequency, but one of which uses no more
   random bits than mr8.10? or is it that in part b, we keep track of
   observed frequencies?

In one solution, you can track frequency.  In the other, you can use
extra random bits.  Don't do both at once.

   in the book, problem mr8.11, they ask for one solution that doesnt
   keep track of observed freqs and doesnt use more random bits. 
   are you asking for more than mr8.11 asks?

a little bit.


   (maybe part of my confusion is that your wording in part (b) is
   not really a sentence)

I have to go for the pathetic option here - sometime Sunday evening. I
have a couple or so more weeks of scuba on Thursday evenings, and I
couldn't make Friday before 7.

But I did see a scrotum cut in half yesterday.

   From: Harald Prokop <prokop@mit.edu>

   I am confused about the 2nd half of part b. Is the lower
   bound given in Problem 4 tight? Assume there is only one
   element that is accessed n times, then the lower bound
   degenerates to Omega(1+nlg 1)=Omega(1). How can I do n
   accesses in constant time? It should match the trivial lower
   bound of Omega(n). Is it part of the answer to combine these
   two lower bounds and prove that then the upper bound
   matches? 

The stated access time is the time per access.  So here it is saying
that that per access is O(1), which means that n accesses cost O(n).

   Thanks for your help,

you're welcome

personally, I think that Roadkill does not
so much need a long discussion, as much as
a recommitment by all involved to be more
active and enthused in the Roadkill experience.

therefore, I re-propose we meet on Monday as =

usual, talk a little, and rehearse a lot.
<nl><nl>

to this end, I'm going to look into making
new shiny colored t-shirts for Roadkill,
which will embody our new shiny attitudes
toward the group.

what do you think of making the blob on

dave, I'd be most interested in the being involved in this.  One thing
(which I'd like to get around to saying to the group) is that I feel very
sorry that milkwood has had such a bad effect on roadkill, and I greatly
regret the rehearsal time that has been lost by roadkill - although I
am nevertheless overjoyed to be doing milkwood.  but anyway.

i think the issues should try and stick to long term ones - not 'do we
have an iap show', but:
	
1	should we formalize the voting procedure for new members?
2	if so, how?
3	should we re-write the constitution to reflect how roadkill functions?
4	should we have a procedure for dealing with not fufilling duties
		in executive office?
5	what is the function of roadkill?
6	where do people want to see roadkill go?
7	should there be a limit on the number of people involved?
8	should we change the rehearsal-before-a-show requirement?
9	should there be a max-number-of-rehearsals-missed-per-term?
10	what is roadkill's relationship to the rest of theatre at mit?
11	should there be a better system for electing people to office?

all in no real order.  my immediate thoughts:

1&2&7.  yes & no.  i want to see some degree of flexability in this.
but at the last auditions, voting seemed arbitrary and perhaps people
who should have got in didn't.  i think, however, we avoided the
opposite.  however, my personal feeling is that roadkill is too large
at fifteen members or whatever we are.
		
3.  yes.  i think this would be a good way to overhall an institution
that has dramatically changed since its inception: we are no longer
run by a bunch of h'ignorant frat boys from AEPi; we have different
issues, and, connected to #6, a different agenda.

4.  yes.  shaka failed to perform a number of his duties this
semester, through no fault of his own.  the procedure i refer to is
not to disipline the member in question, but to help roadkill in such
a situation from suffering from this one person.

5.  very difficult question.  roadkill does improv comedy.  i think,
personally, i'd like to see more emphasis on the improv than the
comedy.  we have some of the finest actors in mit: jeremy and shannon,
for example, are two of the best actors I have ever worked with.  i
think i'd like to see more emphasis on hardcore improv, on hard
character work.  i think by removing the necessity to be 'funny' and
make jokes, you create a different working environment.  i don't want
to scare people away by this proposal, but I want to see us going
where we've never gone before, and working on cutting-edge theatre and
performance art and improv, something I think we're capable of doing.
we all know by now that being funny is not difficult, but true
improvising is.

6.  see 5, i guess.

7.  see 1

8&9.  i think this is related to #3: it either needs to be changed or
enforced, for the good of roadkill.  I think the latter, in
particular, needs to be noticed, and perhaps connected to #4: there
should be a stage when if people don't come to enough rehearsals,
something automatically happens.

10.  i like roadkill's present status as an entity separate to theatre
at mit.  however, this semester has brought a number of roadkill
members to the attention of faculty - ie jeremy, myself, shannon,
sarah, etc.  My personal dream, and my reason for bringing this up,
would be for mit to have an artist-in-residence for something between
three days and a semester, who would be an improv artist of serious
repute (of which some exist), and would work with roadkill and other
theatre classes on campus.  the program exists to do this, and i think
with some work this could happen.

11.  i think this is related to three and to four, and needs to be
addressed.  i think part of it is the concept of senority in the
group, which i think has perhaps too much emphasis, and one that I try
and minimize whenever posssible.

 it was traditional for a while (as I'm sure you, dave, and others)
remember that picking formats for show selection used to go by order
of senority, a tradition which I'm glad to say has started to
disappear this semester - a tradition I'd like to see disappear
completely.  if anything, freshkill should be given preference in show
selection.  i think the concept of senority by sheer virtue of amount
of time in the troupe does not imply ability to perform any executive
function at all; management has little to do with ability to perform
the task in question.  

- ---

I think that's a lot of what I wanted to say, and it gives an idea where
I'm coming from.  I would very much like to be involved in this discussion,
although my schedule only really permits it friday and saturday evenings, or
before seven any day of the week, or after ten pm - maybe we could meet
next monday after ten?  or at 5:30 or so?

Keep me updated, ok?

jofish

	This is a chuckle.  When I wrote this to you there were two
weekends left and wouldn't-you-know-it I met Ramana that weekend and
now she's my girlfriend.  We take swing lessons and dance on
Thursdays, and we often do some sort of dancing again on the
weekends.  She makes me want to do fun stuff with her that I wouldn't
find worth the time to do alone and past gals haven't inspired me to
do either.

doclet to work with Java 1.2's JavaDoc (we get Sun's pre-release
distributions). 


	Just as my life was getten back in balance from Ren Fair, I got a
girl, which made it made tilter again, but is settling down.  She a
student at Davis.  I forsee myself taking a 2 four hour round trips a
week on a train each wee to see her.  I look forward to using that
time to pursue computer and other reading, and then get a laptop to do
development.

	It's odd not having seen you in soo long and still writing; but
I'm happy to stay in touch, I don't want to feel astranged.

	Tell me about your work and interests, but then maybe that's
completly covered in your web page.  BTW: the url in your .sig is out

Subject: funny matrix multiplication
Status: O
X-Status: 



So here is a hopefully clearer explanation of FMM with large integers.
If it isn't clear, please mail and ask and I will revise the note.



we start with a two distance matrices and then exponentiate the
distances, so that d become k^d for some k.

Then when we carry out standard matrix multiplication, we get a sum of
n terms of the form k^{d1} * k^{d2} = k^{d1+d2}

This can also be written as

   sum a_d k^d

where a_d is the number of terms that contribute distance d.


we would like to pick the smallest result k^d out from among the n
choices.  The worry is that the n terms in the sum could interfere
with each other to hide the smallest value.

But lets think of our sum as a base k number.  It is a valid base-k
number so long as each a_d is smaller than k.  If we have such a valid
number we are fine: the smallest distance d is the exponent of the
least-significant numeral in the base-k number.

Recall that we are summing n terms, so each a_d is less than n.  So as
long as k is bigger than n, we do have a valid base-k number and can
apply the above idea.  I took k=n^2 in class today; we could equally
well take k=n+1.

Someone asked, what about edges that are not present?  Well, we simply
put a 0 entry in the (exponentiated) matrix for those edges, so that
those edges do not contribute to the sum we evaluate.

I've changed the configuration of the VNC server and added a few overdue
things to the .hci-login script, which you may wish to use:

1) In your .cshrc file, it's useful to define the following two environment
variables with whatever values you currently use (before or after you run
the .hci-login.csh script).

setenv MGSOCIETY hal
setenv MGCENTER wonderbug
source /hci/metaglue/.hci-login.csh

Then, instead of typing:
"java metaglue.MetaglueAgent hal wonderbug Agentland.device.VCR"

you can use
"mg Agentland.device.VCR"

Most of us have something like this set up already, but it's useful to have
a standard alias for starting metaglue to simplify the run-the-demo
instructions.

Also, you can redefine these env variables whenever you need to from the
command line.

2)  The VNC server now uses /home/hci/hal/.vnc as a common directory for all
the room's VNC processes.  The password is still "foobar."  I'm not sure if
this will help with any of the problems we've sporadically experienced, so
we'll have to wait and see.

Also, the server now defaults to 800x600 geometry, so you don't have to
specify it anymore unless you want something else.

3)  There are a couple of useful aliases that are now defined,

alias leftlaser 'lptr -g'
alias rightlaser
'lptr -g -c/home/hci/hal/vision/lptr/models/default_corners.right'

(leftlaser runs on oprah, & rightlaser runs on boiling-over)

That's all for now.

Is one o'clock definite?  Three or four would be much prefered.  One's
doable, but I'd miss class for it (which I'd do, but again, I'd prefer not

Thank you so much for doing this :)

I am Rita from Program Board, one of the coordinators of the halloween fest.
Our schedule right now is pretty flexible. Is there a time you and your memebers would like to perform? Right now we are looking at 12-2 on the steps since that's probably the best time for any performance, since people are around for lunch. Currently, we have an acapella group performing on that day as well, and a pie eating contest lined up. If you can perform from 30-60 minutes that would be great... we can have breaks if you want... it's really up to you.

again thanks for your help.

Rita


yes, we can perform at 3:00 if you want zero audience.  (Which might
not be a bad idea at the rate we seem to be rehearsing)
however, I think we should actually entertain someone, which would make 1:00 the ideal
time.  So, here are options with which you should reply to me:

a) 12:00.
b) 1:00.
c) 2:00 (but this is bad)
d) have the show without me, I'm busy.

>3:00 is not really an option...
Alrighty, see yah kids

Would anyone have the Windows for Workgroups 3.11 disks?  I am trying to 
install a printer on my PC and it is asking me for Disk 5 of W.f.W.3.11, 
or an updated version of sanserif.??  Would someone have this disk so 
that I could borrow it for a day or so or copy it?  

Thanks,

October 30th is a Friday, so I can't do anytime in the afternoon on the
student center steps. Guess I'm out of that one, then.

Sorry,
