Waksal Ships Off Penelope Patsuris, 07.23.03, 11:41 AM ET NEW YORK - Samuel Waksal is used to having nothing but the best, so who can blame him for requesting to serve his seven-year sentence at Eglin? The federal prison camp in Florida is so cushy that the term Club Fed was coined to describe it, and we recently ranked it one of five best places to go to prison. Alas, today he ships off instead to the Schuylkill Federal Correctional Institute in Minersville, Pa., which did not make our list. The U.S. Bureau of Prisons apparently wasn't interested in Waksal's wishes, or even the judge's recommendation that he head to Eglin. The biggest downside of Schuylkill: Unlike other freestanding, low-security camps, Schuylkill is attached to a more menacing, medium-security facility. While the prison camps where white-collar types usually end up look like college campuses, medium-security prisons look like, well, prisons. Inmates at the low-security camp are often required to work in the medium-security buildings, surrounded by guards, barbed wire and more serious offenders. There, the former ImClone Systems chief executive is likely to be washing dishes and sweeping floors for pennies an hour....... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 17:40:40 +0200 From: Carrie Galbraith Subject: Re: more equine yet strangely not fuckable On Martedl, lug 29, 2003, at 17:25 Europe/Rome, Natalie Jane wrote: >> - -tc, who saw a grrls t-shirt yesterday that read "All You Can Eat" > > Whilst buying my beautiful new guitar* on Saturday, I noticed the shop > was selling shirts that said "Big Muff" (in reference to the effects > pedal - of *course*!).

As *theory*, it has some plausible strengths. However, it overlooks the feedback problem (that its existence, more specifically the existence of particular odds for particular targets, triggers behavior that alters those odds) - or more likely, it doesn't *care* about the feedback problem, on the realpolitik grounds that terrorists are going to strike, and it doesn't much matter if they strike target A or target B. The idea seems akin to the P2OG (Proactive Preemptive Operations Group) proposal outlined in a 2002 counterterrorist SpecOps study (see William M. Arkin's article in the LA Times of 10/27/02), which essentially proposed provoking terrorist attacks to draw out hidden terrorists - or to Operation Northwoods, a '60s-era plan to create justification for war against Cuba that proposed, among other things, a wave of murders, sinking of ships, and hijackings, all with fake evidence pointing at Castro as coordinator. The difference is that at least the International Dead Pool doesn't propose actually killing American citizens (at least not as leaked - but see above: Rumsfeld's certainly never ruled that out). However, in the great American tradition, it does further and extend the time-honored practice of profiting from the deaths of others - and in doing so so overtly, it has managed to trip the public's rather insensitive trigger. You'd think that for publicity reasons, they'd've at least claimed, "oh, and no one actually gets paid - the money's donated to the Children and Cute Puppies Defense League." ..Jeff, giving up on being more cynical and paranoid than reality J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/ADS.html :: we make everything you need, and you need everything we make ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2003 16:19:20 -0400 From: "Stewart C.

Actually, I already had the idea to do something similar to this. (Based on your instructions, I think I may be using an older version of Sherlock than you? I see no "Add Criteria" popup.) I don't content-index my hard drive, but I downloaded the Fegmania archive for my first year, indexed that specific folder, and found my first post. Never would have recalled that my first post (April, 1996) was about *the Incredible String Band*. Weird. I read the "man grep" entry...it didn't seem entirely impenetrable. Something I never get, though...when you have filenames with spaces in them, how do you refer to them in UNIX/Terminal mode? It doesn't seem like the system parses whatever comes after the spaces.
