Graduated from Moscow Aviation Institute, 1959. Candidate of technical sciences degree, 1964. Aeronautical engineer at Korolev bureau, involved in development of manned spacecraft. Trained for the Soviet lunar landing program and later for a Buran flight. Former President of the Soviet Chess Federation. From 1989 to 1993 member of the Russian Duma.
Birth Place: Krasnouralsk, Yekaterinburg.
Status: Deceased.
Born: 1935.07.08.

Spaceflights: 2 .
Total time in space: 80.68 days.
Mishin and Kamanin meet and decide on L1 crews: Leonov-Makarov (with Kuklin as back-up); Bykovsky-Rukavishnikov (Klimuk back-up); and Popovich-Sevastyanov (Voloshin back-up). But that evening Leonov has yet another automobile accident. He hit a bus with his Volga at kilometre 24 near Shchelkovsky. This was his second accident in four months. Kamanin decides to prohibit him from driving automobiles for six months.
Spacecraft 17 through 20 will fly 15 to 16 day missions to demonstrate the new SZhO life support system for the L3, and conduct rendezvous and docking operations using the L3's Kontakt system. Additional Details: here....
In the evening Kamanin calls Tereshkova, and promises to tell Nikolayev that she and Aleuka were fine, worried, to kiss him, and the looked forward to meeting him on his return. On 8 June Aleuka will be six years old, and Tereshkova would like to fly to Yevpatoriya to give her a surprise communications session with her father. At 21:25 Kamanin relays the news from his family to Nikolayev during a pass over Yevpatoriya. Kamanin observes that the tracking station is not suited to serve as mission control over a long spaceflight. There is no transport, and no recreational facilities. The only diversions are gymnastics, chess, and billiards. Furthermore there seem to be a lot of unnecessary staff at the command point.
It is obvious to the Soviets that they were seriously mistaken about the effects of zero-G on human beings (Mishin thought flights of three to four months would be no problem). Kamanin recites again his belief in the need for more long solo Soyuz flights, how the leadership has blocked such flights, and the general lack of support for manned space. He even had to fight to allow the Soyuz 9 crew to go straight to the hospital and their loved ones, rather than attending ceremonies.
As Kamanin is on the way to the airport, a serious situation develops aboard the station. At 13:00 the cosmonauts report a strong burning smell, and smoke in the station. The crew evacuates the station and retreat to the Soyuz lifeboat. Forty minutes later, just as Kamanin is boarding the Tu-104, Shatalov reports that the mission will continue, but the situation aboard the station is not comfortable. The crew has turned off the primary oxygen regenerator and exchanged the filters of the oxygen supply and reserve regenerator. At 14:05 Kamanin finally boards the aircraft, which takes off and sets course for the Crimea. At 14:30 they are ordered to turn around and land at Chkalovksy Airfield outside Moscow. The whole thing turns out to be a banal mistake by one of the officers at an air traffic control station! They lose two hours in the process. No information is available when the Tu-104 finally lands at Saki, since Nikolayev and the other cosmonauts who attended the emergency meetings had taken off to return to Moscow three hours earlier. Kamanin finally arrives at Yevpatoriya at 23:00, in time for a comms session with Dobrovolsky and Patsayev (Volkov is sleeping). The Soyuz 11 crew reports that the training suits are very tiring. Dobrovolsky reports all is now normal otherwise. He requests permission to continue the flight. Bykovsky reports that the situation on the station is now stable. There is no more smoke or burning smell, but the crew has been overloaded in the last six hours. They have done a lot of work with no food or rest. The situation was so bad at one point that preparations had been made for undocking the Soyuz for an emergency return to earth.

Hershey's celebrates 100 years of Kisses
Published: Monday, January 1, 2007 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 1, 2007 at 1:44 a.m.
I f you rang in the New Year with a kiss, you helped the Hershey Co. celebrate the 100th anniversary of its Hersheys Kisses.
You probably -- with luck-- got that tingly feeling that we associate with a good kiss, and some of those same feelings are associated with chocolate.
Kisses have been credited with everything from preventing tooth decay (a natural cleaning process for the mouth) to relieving tension.
And chocolate has been credited with health benefits as well, including releasing endorphins, a feel-good chemical that reduces sensitivity to pain, among other things.
We take a look at both kinds of kisses as we ring in the new year.
Chocolate, it turns out, is not as evil as nutritionists once thought. Yes, that is the sound of people all over the world rejoicing, especially the folks at the Hershey Co., which makes Hersheys Kisses.
Much like Kissing, chocolate has some good effects on the body.
It lowers blood pressure, boosts antioxidants and is rich in flavanoids," said Glyn Denton, owner of Crave Chocolatier in Patton Creek shopping center in Hoover. The bottom line is that folks are looking for ways to indulge and do it guilt free."
You cant escape the findings that dark chocolate does have some redeeming value, and this has increased dark chocolate sales around the country, as well as in Dentons store. Hersheys has even added its own dark chocolate Kisses into the mix.
Your taste buds change as you age, and baby boomers are getting older and they are beginning to like dark chocolate more and more because they taste bitter less and less as they age," Denton said.
Denton, who admits that shes in a happy" business, said Crave is usually filled with happy people because they are coming in for a treat, an indulgence. It brings out the child in people to some degree."
This year marks the 100th anniversary of that tiny but well-known chocolate, the Hersheys kiss. To celebrate, Hersheys has even rolled out its own U.S. postage stamp.
Until 1921 and automated wrapping machines, Kisses were individually hand-wrapped and without the trademark flag (which Milton Hershey called a plume) they now carry. Todays wrapping machines can wrap up to 1,300 Kisses a minute.
Other little-known and interesting historical facts about the candy named for an act of love:
'Kissmobile' promotion to come to Birmingham
Hersheys Kissmobile will be cruising into Birmingham later in the year, so prepare for more kisses.
The chocolate lovers dream machine is rolling to raise awareness and donations for the Birmingham Childrens Miracle Network Hospital. Two Hersheys Kissmobile Cruisers travel to small towns and large cities across North America to share the message that every day deserves a kiss."
The Cruisers, each accompanied by two Chocolate Ambassadors," will visit more than 70 North American cities, driving more than 70,000 miles. The Hersheys Kissmobile Cruiser raised its millionth dollar for hospitalized kids in 2005.
The Hersheys Kissmobile Cruiser comes equipped with a 42-inch, plasma flat screen TV, a DVD and sound system complete with karaoke. This year, the tour will showcase new products and have sing-along contests.
Most importantly, the Hersheys Kissmobile has the capacity to store more than 230,000 Hersheys Kisses almost a ton -- in a refrigerated compartment.

Imagine spending a perfect uninterrupted evening with your spouse creating something delicious and healthy in the kitchen. It may sound impossible, but romance can be found in the kitchen, and it's easier than you think to turn an everyday occurrence like preparing the evening meal into a romantic experience when the two of you create a new favorite dish together. By preparing a culinary masterpiece that coincides with a healthy lifestyle, you're not only spending quality time together, you're taking action to live a more healthy life.
With the beginning of a New Year most of us have started January 2010 with a list of carefully thought-out New Year's resolutions. The majority of us have chosen to place at the top of our resolutions list the promise to take better care of ourselves in the coming year, secretly pledging that we'll lose weight, get more exercise and eat a healthier diet. Studies have proven that if you go about working towards these goals with a partner or your spouse and the support of your family, you're more likely to achieve them.
The first step towards living a healthy lifestyle is eating healthy and one local couple want to show us how easy that first step can be. Drs. James and Debra Rouse have just published their new cookbook Colorado Fit Kitchen: Inspiring Recipes for Mind, Body, Beauty and Optimum Wellness. This fantastic cookbook is one you'll definitely want to add to your collection as it's sure to quickly become your favorite. Its pages are loaded with mouthwatering recipes for delicious and healthy foods that you and your family will love.
The Rouse family brings a celebration of not just food, but relationships with friends, family and Spirit to the table. Their way of life is an example of how balance and total well being can lead to radiant vitality and greater health. They will be speaking tonight at 6:30 PM at the Mile Hi Church on how easy it is to embrace a healthier more vibrant lifestyle.
Drs. James and Debra Rouse's cookbook is available for presale through their website Optimum Wellness, local King Soopers stores, and QVC. Although this fantastic cookbook isn't available at the larger bookseller as of yet, it's certain that you'll see it grace the shelves of Barnes and Noble and Borders by this spring.
Start this New Year off right and bring the love of family, friends and healthy foods into your kitchen. Make this a year of better health and more romance. You'll be glad that you did.

I think I spent a full hour playing Grabagold yesterday. I started spinning and that was it -- I got hooked!
What's Grabagold?

3. Below that, click on the drop down menu and choose your phone's Globe or TM number prefix.
4. Type in the rest of your number in the box provided.
5. Click Join Now button
6. Wait for the confirmation text from Globe containing your verification code.
7. Use your number and your verification code to create your password.

Can someone give me an example of an ultrafilter which is not principal?
closed as off topic by HJRW, Mark Sapir, Simon Thomas, Andreas Blass, Gerald Edgar Sep 27 '11 at 14:50
Questions on MathOverflow are expected to relate to research level mathematics within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Do you mean on a set or on a Boolean algebra? You need some fragment of the axiom of choice to construct a non-principal ultrafilter on the natural numbers, for example. (See the link in Igor Rivin's answer.)
However, the Boolean algebra consisting of finite and cofinite subsets of $\mathbb N$ has a non-principal ultrafilter, namely the collection of all cofinite sets.
As far as I know, the existence of non principal (= free) ultrafilters is independent on ZF. It follows from AC, but it's weaker: Ultrafilter's lemma, which says exactly that non principal ultrafilter exist, by using AC in the form of Zorn's lemma, does not imply AC.
So, an explicit construction cannot be given, since otherwise you would have proved the Axiom of Choice. If you want a non-constructive construction, you can also follow the proof of Ultrafilter's lemma: take the family of all filters and apply Zorn's lemma (see this discussion http://everything2.com/title/Proof+that+any+filter+can+be+extended+to+an+ultrafilter for some apparently right details).
In some cases one can find quite explicit examples, as suggested above for Boolean algebras. But this more difficult for ultrafilters on a set: the family of cofinite (the completementary is finite) subsets of a countable set is NOT an ultrafilter!

Miles Richie, 19, decided to get a tattoo with the initials KJ, and guess who put on gloves to help? The teenage girl who has those initials, Kylie Jenner from the reality show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." She allegedly helped tattoo artist, John Petro, to add some ink on the hand of Miles, son of singer Lionel Richie. TMZ has a video showing Kylie with her hand on John's hand as they put ink on Mile's hand.
TMZ sources report that Mally Mall, Miles Richie, Kylie Jenner, her sister Khloe Kardashian, and Khloe's alleged boyfriend, French Montana, were at a Hollywood recording studio. Kylie apparently wanted to try something new, so she immortalized her initials in ink.
While this is probably all fun and games for young Kylie, she could land in some serious trouble. She broke the law according to the LA County Department of Public Health. Kylie is 16 years old. The only ones who can legally put ink on another person has to be over the age of 18.
So, what could happen if law enforcement goes after Kylie? She could be charged with a misdemeanor and have to pay a fine up to $1,000. One thing's for sure, Miles will have her initials on his hand forever, unless he gets them re-inked with something different.
Kylie apparently wants her time in the limelight, just like her other sisters. Earlier, Kylie posted a picture of herself with a shirtless Jaden Smith sitting on a bed. This comes less than a week after another controversial picture was posted on her Instagram where Jaden's 13-year-old sister was lying on a bed with shirtless 20-year-old Moises Arias. It is alleged that Arias posted that picture on his Tumbler and Instagram, but later deleted them after a backlash of fans said that the setting was too mature for the young 13-year-old.

Emacs on OpenSolaris
By Bill Rushmore III on Jul 10, 2008
One thing that right now that is missing from OpenSolaris and its repository is Emacs. At least for me Emacs is one of things that has to part of my desktop system. The fact that it isn't there is not an issue because traditionally I build Emacs right from CVS. I like to live life on the edge!
Building Emacs on Solaris used to require some special steps to get the job done. Fortunately with OpenSolaris it just builds right from CVS (as of today at least), all the I needed to do was was add "--with-gif=no" parameter to "configure" since the gif libraries are not on OpenSolaris. There is only one issue with the default settings for building on OpenSolaris, the menus look "retro" like it came right out of Openwin desktop! So I guess Emacs still need some fiddling to make it look good on OpenSolaris but until I have time to put into researching a fix I can live with the retro look since it meets my simple text editing needs.

Every week the Boise Comic Book Examiner will evaluate and dissect all of the most important comics to hit the stands on Wednesday morning. From the top titles and event books by mainstream publishers Marvel and DC to the buzz-worthy indie gems that simply cannot be overlooked, this is the spot to watch to determine which titles to put on your pull list and which to leave on the racks.
This special landmark issue also happens to be right in the thick of "Blackest Night," and is all the better for it. When big anniversary issues come around, they are usually celebrated with an onslaught of guest writers and artists and they usually interrupt the flow of the series' ongoing narrative. But considering the fact that few have done for the Green Lantern franchise what Geoff Johns has managed to accomplish in his five years on the title, it's more than appropriate that this issue celebrates the series by continuing the story that has elevated Hal Jordan to such prominence within the DC Universe and the comic book community proper. The kinetic continuation of the events of "Blackest Night" #6 are made all the more exciting by the involvement of the Spectre, and the Black Lantern Spirit of Vengeance's connection to Hal Jordan harkens all the way back to his involvement with "Green Lantern: Rebirth." With vibrant, visceral art by Doug Mankhe that is both epic in scope and intimately detailed and a script that advances the "Blackest Night" saga in such a way that this issue could be mistaken for an installment of the main series, "Green Lantern" #50 is the perfect way to celebrate a series that has become one of DC's finest over the years.
The third arc of Grant Morrison's seminal retooling of the dyamic duo's, well, dynamic begins in an issue that already shows several significant improvements over the series previous arc. For starters, artist Cameron Stewart's bright, action-packed panels complement Morrison's zany script and over-the-top set pieces much more than Phillip Tan's muddier, cross-hatched pencil work did for Morrison's mismanaged Red Hood caper. He's certainly no Frank Quitley (then again, who is?), but Stewart's art, coupled with Morrison's exceptional use of the Squire and his depiction of her relationship with Dick Grayson, have brought this issue a lot closer to the quality of the series first phenomenal issues.
Although DC's decision to "resurrect" a number of key titles that have gotten the axe at some point over the course of the company's 84-year history was certainly a unique approach to the concept of the event tie-in, the execution left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, nearly all of the issues DC brought out as part of this marketing initiative in the month of January failed to offer readers any compelling additions to the ongoing "Blackest Night" saga, with one pretty big exception. Writer Geoff Johns has made a career out of reinvigorating underused characters and properties, and what he's managed to accomplish by including Ray Palmer, aka the Atom, in the space zombie proceedings is nothing short of astounding. By highlighting Palmer's ability to see the good in everybody despite the tragedies he's suffered in his life, the least of which being losing his wife after discovering that she murdered Sue Dibny, has made him a character that readers can empathize with and root for. This central conceit forms the basis for the issue and for Palmer becoming deputized as an Indigo Lantern. And with the Atom's personal journey brought to vivid life by the equally underappreciated artist Ryan Sook, it looks like DC finally found a title worth "resurrecting" for an issue.
Writer Brian Michael Bendis goes all buddy-cop on us in an issue that divides the action between two sets of Marvel icons: Steve Rogers and his Captain America successor Bucky Barnes and witticism-spouting webslingers Spider-Man and Spider-Woman. As true believing marvelites know by now, the newly "reborn" Rogers has taken up an entirely different role within the Marvel universe than readers are used to seeing as a mentor figure for the rookie star-spangled-banner-bearing Bucky. By implementing this fascinating new dynamic for a beloved character, dealing very specifically with a number of threads running through the Marvel universe at the time of "Siege," and featuring some classic Bendis quippage in the sequences centering on the bickering Spider-duo, this issue of "New Avengers" is certainly an enthralling breather before "Siege" #2 hits next week.
With writer Mark Millar and director Matthew Vaughn's big-screen adaptation of this gory, uproariously funny send-up of superhero "realism" theater-bound in a few short months, readers were starting to wonder if they would see this story resolved in the mini-series that the movie is based on or in the movie itself. Luckily for followers of all things Millar, the finale to the first "Kick-Ass" arc has arrived, and not a moment too soon. If you've read any of the previous seven issues of Millar's violent, foul-mouthed opus you can rest assured that this conclusion is jam-packed with the same grotesque, over-the-top action, reinterpretations of classic superhero storytelling conventions, and vulgar, prepubescent humor that has made the series such a memorable take on the genre. And, as he has done with each other issue in the series, artist John Romita Jr.'s manic art makes the characters and their brutal conflicts jump off the page, a quality that makes this shocking comic all the more impactful.

Patients should be cautioned regarding the following:
Drowsiness, dizziness, or lightheadedness related to the use of this medication may impair mental and/or physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks, such as driving a car, operating machinery, etc.
This medication, like other opioid analgesics, will add to the effect of alcohol and other CNS depressants [such as antihistamines, sedatives, hypnotics, tranquilizers, general anesthetics, phenothiazines, other opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, and monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors]. Alcohol should not be consumed while taking NUMORPHAN (oxymorphone) .
Withdrawal side effects may be precipitated by suddenly stopping this drug after prolonged use (regular use for several weeks or more). The medication should be gradually reduced before completely discontinuing use.
Elderly patients are more sensitive to opioid analgesics, especially the respiratory depressant effects and opioid induced urinary retention. Lower doses or longer dosing intervals may be required.
Orthostatic hypotension may occur with the use of this medication, especially in ambulatory patients. Patients should get up slowly from a lying or sitting position.
NUMORPHAN (oxymorphone hydrochloride, USP) may be habit forming and has the potential for being abused. Tolerance, psychological and physical dependence can occur.
Safe use in pregnancy has not been established. Prolonged use of opioid analgesics during pregnancy may cause fetal-neonatal physical dependence, and neonatal withdrawal may occur.

No Longer At Ease
by Chinua Achebe
No Longer At Ease Chapter 17 Summary
- Mr. Green asks Obi if he had a good vacation. Then he tells Obi that he thinks it's shameful for Africans like Obi to ask for time off to go visit their homes when they have too many privileges as it is.
- Obi says that he doesn't care, but it is up to the Government.
- Mr. Green replies that it is people like Obi that ought to make the Government decide, but no African is willing to give up privileges even if it's in the best interest of the nation. Then he makes a snide remark about Nigerians' wish for democracy and self-governance.
- When Mr. Green leaves, Marie remarks that Mr. Green is speaking the truth – not about Obi, of course, but about a lot of Africans.
- Obi says that the Europeans were the ones who created all the "soft conditions" that Nigerians are now taking advantage of, so the British should stop blaming Africans for enjoying those privileges now.
- Marie tells him he looks ill. She advises him to go see a doctor.
- Obi goes to ask for a salary advance later that morning.
- Mr. Omo says it's possible but the way he says it indicates that it's really whether he wants to do it or not. Then he tells Obi that he needs a statement of expenditure to show how he spent the 25 pounds for his local leave; he must refund the balance.
- Obi realizes that the money given to him for his vacation was not a free gift. He does the math and discovers that he's only allowed 15 pounds. He can't refund the 10 pounds now.
- Now he realizes that he must analyze all his finances. He decides that the 20 pounds he must give every month to the Umuofia Progressive Union is the factor that has contributed to or caused all his problems.
- He decides not to pay it anymore until he can see an end to his financial nightmare. If they ask why, he'll tell them he has some family commitments he has to attend to first. They won't take him to court – he's family.
- A messenger returns with a letter.
- He had decided to write to Clara the night before and she has returned the letter, unopened. He had realized that he had no right to be angry, or at least, Clara had more right to be angry than he did.
- So he had written a letter saying he understood if she never wanted to see him again but he hoped she would give him another chance. He had taken the letter to the hospital, leaving it with a nurse.

'Everyone's race' open to any cyclists and will cruise the backroads of the area
July 10, 2014 | Vol. 118 -- No. 12
Riders Walter Alta-Mirano (503) and Jim David clasp hands as they cross the finish line of the 112-mile portion of the 2013 Jedermann Gran Fondo. Around 250 riders began and finished either a 112-, 66- or 30-mile ride at Second and F streets downtown.
The third annual Jedermann Gran Fondo is taking place July 19, with three timed races beginning in downtown Cheney. The rides utilize back roads, are virtually traffic free and open to any cyclist.
The phrase "Gran Fondo" is Italian for "great rides" while the word "Jedermann" is derived from "Jedermann Rennen" which is German for "everyone's race." Strung together, the Jedermann Gran Fondo is "everyone's great race."
The rides are 100, 66 and 30 miles in length. The 30-mile ride loops out around Williams Lake while the others take cyclists through the communities of Sprague, Edwall and Har...

AMD is looking to ease up on the Average Joe with a new marketing campaign that will lump its twenty-plus CPU and GPU categories into only three: Vision Basic, Vision Premium and Vision Ultimate. The chip maker will associate various activities with each new category to help customers figure out what level of performance they can expect. Naturally, Basic machines will be for the lowliest of tasks, those stamped with Premium will be equipped to consume digital media, and Ultimate systems will be able to create content.
AMD expects to deploy another category in the first quarter of next year, Vision Black, which will be aimed at high-end desktop enthusiasts. At least four computer makers have signed on to the new marketing scheme, including Acer. The first notebook system to use the "Vision" nomenclature will arrive before the October 22 launch of Windows 7.

European water frog hybrids Rana esculenta (R. ridibundaxR. lessonae) reproduce hemiclonally, by hybridogenesis: in the germ line they exclude the genome of one parental species and produce haploid gametes with an unrecombined genome of the other parental species. In the widespread L-E population system, both sexes of hybrids (E) coexist with R. lessonae (L). They exclude the lessonae genome and produce ridibunda gametes. In the R-E system, hybrid males coexist with R. ridibunda (R); they exclude either their ridibunda or their lessonae genome and produce sperm with a lessonae or with a ridibunda genome or a mixture of both kinds of sperm. We examined 13 male offspring, 12 of which were from crosses between L-E system and R-E system frogs. All were somatically hybrid. With one exception, they excluded the lessonae genome in the germ line and subsequently endoreduplicated the ridibunda genome. Spermatogonial metaphases contained a haploid or a diploid number of ridibunda chromosomes, identified through in situ hybridization to a satellite DNA marker, and by spermatocyte I metaphases containing a haploid number of ridibunda bivalents. The exception, an F1 hybrid between L-E system R. lessonae and R-E system R. ridibunda, was not hybridogenetic, showed no genome exclusion, and evidenced a disturbed gametogenesis resulting from the combination of two heterospecific genomes. None of the hybridogenetic hybrids showed any cell lines excluding the ridibunda genome, the pattern most frequent in hybrids of the R-E system, unique to that system, and essential for its persistence. A particular combination of R-E system lessonae and R-E system ridibunda genomes seems necessary to induce the R-E system type of hemiclonal gametogenesis.

Do you care about lobbying issues and about parental rights on abortions? You are running out of time to be registered for the August Primary Election. The deadline for registration is this Sunday, July 25. You can register in person or online. It is important. Get registered and vote. Do you think that you might be called out of town at the last minute? Ask for an absentee ballot to be sent to you. Several years ago, my ornery dying cowboy father was dying of cancer and he did not like that I could vote for an attorney and said that he would hold on until it was too late for me to come home and vote. (I wouldn't tell him who I was supporting and he assumed that I'd support someone he didn't like.) He died the morning of Election Day just outside of Tombstone, Arizona about an hour after I whispered to him that it was too late for me to go home and vote for the lawyer. (As long as he was still alive, my father's daughter didn't vote for that blankety-blank attorney.) Like I have said and it bears repeating, ask for an absentee ballot if you think there could be any reason you might not be able to vote!
Alaska has had some close calls with elections and while whomever and whatever you support might not win, they won't have a chance without you showing up to vote.
One of the greatest aspects of election time is that we Alaskans can go out and actually meet the people who are running. Can you imagine meeting Governor Schwarzenegger at Wasilla Family Restaurant? There are fancy fundraisers which are always fun to go to, but there are also meet and greets happening, there are luncheons and debates, and there are informal gatherings. Living in Mat-Su, the Republicans often have meetings at Evangelo's or Mat-Su Family Restaurant. There have been debates at public places including the Alaska Club's auditorium. The Democrats have had gatherings at Fireside Books in downtown Palmer and at people's homes, to name a few venues. The best thing to do is to see who is running and look up on their website to see when they will be coming to your area. (The coolest idea that I have seen for getting to know voters is Mead Treadwell. He occasionally goes hiking with who he hopes will be his constituents.)

Business in brief
The new location combining the Toys 'R Us and Babies 'R Us brands will hold its grand opening Friday, Oct. 12 at 11801 W. Broad St. Giveaways, discounts, kid-friendly activities and visits from popular costumed characters will continue throughout the weekend, Oct. 12-14. In conjunction with the grand opening, the Toys 'R Us Children's Fund has awarded a $10,000 grant to Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia to support wish fulfillment in Richmond-area communities.
The Virginia Water Well Association (VWWA) recently donated a new water well to the ACE (Another Chance to Excel) Program. When ACE approached Curtis Drilling about the cost of a well for ACE's Urban Garden Program, owner Curtis Bordewyk decided to nominate ACE as the potential recipient of a new well gifted during the VWWA's Annual Training Day Event. The training day is designed to help the men and women engaged in the water well construction industry meet the challenges of the ever-changing technology used in well construction. On Sept. 28, at the Creighton Road campus of St. Paul's Baptist Church, 150 student drillers received instruction on well drilling and pump testing. VWWA then gifted the well, used in its demonstration, to ACE. The ACE Program is an organization that aids ex-offenders and disadvantaged youth with their transition back into the community.
On Saturday, Oct. 6, participating Southern States locations will offer specially marked "pink" items for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Use the store locator at http://www.southerstates.com to find a participating location.

Microsoft and Siemens partner for in-car entertainment system
Siemens and Microsoft have announced a joint partnership to develop the next generation of in-car entertainment and sat-nav products, which, much like the Ford/Microsoft Sync system, will allow users to connect everything from mobile phones to media players. Recognizing that standalone audio systems are quickly becoming a thing of the past, the new system seeks to integrate every facet of the "digital lifestyle" into one all-encompassing unit. The fruits of their labors should be in production by 2009, assuming all goes well over in Redmond.

According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, there are approximately 88,000 deaths attributable to excessive alcohol use each year in the United States. This makes alcohol use the third leading lifestyle-related cause of death in the nation.
Alcoholism in the clinical sense is much more than, "having too much to drink". It is not defined by the quantity that one drinks or the drinker's regularity, although those factors certainly are relevant.
Alcoholism is a chronic progressive disease recognized as such by the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and Alcoholics Anonymous. The disease model of alcoholism is now widely accepted over the behavioral model.
The ASAM, American Society of Addiction Medicine, defines Alcoholism as:
"A primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. It is characterized by continuous or periodic use: impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial."
The international organization known as A.A., Alcoholics Anonymous, which boasts nearly two million members worldwide, endorses the disease model as well. While A.A. does not offer an official definition for Alcoholism, they do state in their literature:
"Most of us agree that, for us, it could be described as a physical compulsion, coupled with a mental obsession. We mean that we had a distinct physical desire to consume alcohol beyond our capacity to control it, and in defiance of all rules of common sense."
In 1994, the American Psychiatric Association differentiated alcohol use and abuse from dependence and offered the following definition and seven criteria for determining alcoholic dependence or Alcoholism:
A maladaptive pattern of alcohol use, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by three (or more) of the following, occurring at any time in the same 12-month period:
- Tolerance, as defined by either a need for increased amounts to achieve intoxication or desired effect, or markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount
- Withdrawal, as manifested by nausea, sweating, or shakiness after stopping drinking
- Alcohol is often used in larger amounts or over a longer period than was intended
- There is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control alcohol use
- A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain alcohol, use alcohol, or recover from its effects
- Important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of alcohol use
- Alcohol use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. continued drinking despite recognition that an ulcer was made worse by alcohol consumption)
Those who have studied alcohol dependence as well as other substance dependence agree that the following four features are the distinguishing features of the disease of Alcoholism:
- Craving - a strong need to drink
- Loss of control - not being able to stop drinking once you've begun
- Physical dependence – withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating or shakiness after stopping drinking
- Tolerance - the need to drink greater amounts of alcohol in order to get "high"
Not all children of alcoholic families become alcoholics. In addition, some people develop alcoholism even though no one in their family has a drinking problem.
Alcoholism cannot be cured at this time. Even if an alcoholic has not been drinking for a long time, he or she can still suffer a relapse. Not drinking is the safest course for most people with alcoholism.
Alcoholism can be treated however; treatment programs use both counseling and medications to help a person stop drinking. Treatment has helped many people to stop drinking and live in long-term recovery.
For more information on recovery from alcohol please visit, Alcoholics Anonymous.

Transcript of the live chat session that took place Thursday, September 30, 1999. These sessions are normally scheduled for 12 noon-1 PM Eastern Time every Thursday. Please note that the US is now on Daylight Savings Time. So in international terms, we are on at GMT -4.
For an article based on this discussion, see www.samizdat.com/wireless.html
To connect to the chat room, go to www.samizdat.com/chat-intro.html
Since the chat itself happens at a rapid pace, it's often difficult to note interesting facts in particular URLs as they appear on-line. Here's a place to take a more leisurely look. I've rearranged some of the pieces to try to capture the various threads of discussion (which sometimes get lost in the rush of live chat).
Please send email with your follow-on questions and comments, and suggestions for topics we should focus on in future sessions. So long as the volume of email responses is manageable, I'll post the most pertinent ones here for all to see.
These sessions are hosted by Richard Seltzer. If you would like to receive email reminders of our chat sessions, simply send a blank email message to email@example.com or go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/businessonthewebchats and sign up there.
This is one of the longest-running chat programs on the Web. (Please let us know if you know of ones that are older.) We've been doing this for over three years -- since June 1996.
For transcripts of previous sessions and a list of future topics, www.samizdat.com/chat.html.
For an article on how to make "business chat" work (based on this experience), www.samizdat.com/events.html.
For articles on topics related to this one, check our newsletter, Internet-on-a-Disk www.samizdat.com/ioad.html
Richard Seltzer -- Welcome Ron and gayatinmahan -- we'll be starting in about five minutes. Please introduce yourselves and let us know your interests.
Richard Seltzer -- It's time to get started. Welcome Alan. Please introduce yourself.
Alan Reiter -- Hi, it's Alan Reiter of Wireless Internet & Mobile Computing ready for the session.
Richard Seltzer -- I'm seeing two huge waves of change coming on the Internet. One is high-speed access -- which we were talking about in our last two sessions. The other is wireless (which interestingly, will eventually also provide high-speed access). We're going to be facing a while new range of issues, opportunities and risks. And just when you might have thought that the Web and traditional business were working out some kind of peaceful co-existence, radical change hits again.
Richard Seltzer -- Welcome, Diane and others. Please introduce yourselves and let us know your interests. "Wireless Internet" is a huge subject. Help us focus on the issues that matter most to you.
Diane Newcum -- Hi, we are Bill and Diane Newcum of Advanced Software Technology, Inc.
Anthony Alvarez -- Hi Richard!! How are U? Ur webcam is working fine now.
Richard Seltzer -- Welcome, Anthony. Thanks again for setting up my Web cam. (I can be seen "almost live" now at http://www.samizdat.com/cam/livenetcam.html -- you might want to open a second browser window to see my smiling face:-)
Anthony Alvarez -- yes i always open a 2nd window to see your live non verbal facial expressions as we chat!
Richard Seltzer -- Welcome Richard Rahn (author of the End of Money). Seeing just your name there, I suspect that you got cut off by the automatic refresh feature. This software works best if you choose zero for the refresh rate and click on new messages to see the new stuff.
Richard -- Hi, This is Richard Rahn. Thanks for the suggestion, it seems to be working better now.
Alan Reiter -- Wireless Internet comprises paging, digital cellular and PCS. It's a global business. Alpha pagers have e-mail addresses, many cellular and PCS phones can accept e-mail. Lots of tests with wireless shopping overseas.
Richard Seltzer -- Alan -- while I don't have a pager or a cell phone yet, I certainly have seen the ads. Sounds like the Internet access part aims at niches -- like delivering news from a few select sources (like CNN). I believe this could head in the direction of early transistor radios -- there was a brief window when radio stations or even advertisers would give away free transistor radios that could only receive one station -- theirs.
Alan Reiter -- Richard, Wireless e-mail is still a niche. But it can be HUGE. The problem is it isn't promoted much by the carriers. They are dinosaurs.
Alan Reiter -- In Europe, there are BILLIONS of SMS -- short message service -- messages being sent -- and this is with the rotten ergonomics of GSM phones. No doubt - wireless e-mail is a killer app.
Anthony Alvarez -- Why do U think GSM is rotten? Apparently that is a major cell phone protocol in the world.
Alan Reiter -- Anthony, I don't think GSM is rotten. I think the use of a phone keypad -- where you have to push a button three times to enter one letter - is rotten.
Anthony Alvarez -- I have a web page where people can send me messages to my alpha pager at http://www.pucho.com In fact, every Thurs, my Yahoo calender sends a reminder beep to join this very chat session.
Alan Reiter -- Anthony, the future of wireless is trying it to desktop applications -- such as your calendar -- and providing you with alerts and other information automatically.
Alan Reiter -- Look for Webcams to be more practical when Third Generation wireless systems come in. April 2001 in Japan, sometime in 2001 in Europe and in the U.S.....no frequencies allocated.
Alan Reiter -- Look for wireless chatting soon -- another heads-up from the wireless Internet arena. Also, look for wireless banking, wireless stock trading (already in the US) and wireless shopping.
Richard Seltzer -- Alan -- do you know anyone who has plans for a wireless chat business? or for wireless-enabled instant messaging? This is like the Internet starting all over again -- almost anything you can imagine doing with the new technology is likely to be tried by one business or another. And what will be the factors that determine who wins?
Alan Reiter -- Richard, Tegic Communications has a wireless chat software product. I know of a couple of firms (I'm working with one of them) working on wireless chatting, buddy lists, etc. Work is being done in the US and abroad. The carriers overseas know that the youth market is a big market. Kids don't need a $500,000 Andersen Consulting study to understand the value of wireless data!
Richard Seltzer -- Alan -- Yes, wireless chat could be a huge winner very quickly -- the kind of flirtatious banter that fills open chat rooms today just uses text -- very low bandwidth -- and the kids doing it all the time, might well prefer to be able to on the beach, while hanging out on a street corner, in the school yard at recess, etc. It would also be great for field service (you get an answer from the expert back at the office, and the customer never knows that you weren't the expert yourself.)
Alan Reiter -- In Finland -- which has a cellular penetration of 60 percent -- and climbing -- kids use SMS for chatting all the time. In other European countries kids also are using SMS a great deal. Calling Party Pays and pre-paid phone plans are stimulating a huge amount of usage.
John Pioccone -- Alan, how about in the portable laptop area?
Alan Reiter -- I believe the real growth will come from general purpose devices, that can accommodate a variety of services. Indeed, devices with an OS -- Windows CE, Symbian (EPOCS 32) and Palm OS -- are the future. You will be able to use your handheld, pager, etc. for different applications. Special-purpose wireless devices will be a very niche market. The future is devices for millions of people.
Richard Seltzer -- Alan -- while long-term, I'm sure general purpose will win; I'd be surprised if in the short term (for a huge window of a couple years) there weren't a plethora of single-service gadgets hardwired to connect to a single source of information or transactions and social activity and given away free to customers (hoping to "lock" them in).
Alan Reiter -- Richard, I could be wrong, but I don't see many single-purpose gadgets. I see BRANDED gadgets (a Merrill Lynch pager or a Yahoo phones), but they won't be just for, as examples, trading with Merrill or accessing Yahoo data. Au contraire, these devices will have all the regular features.
Richard Seltzer -- Alan -- eventually I could see branded general purpose devices. But human nature being human nature, I believe that the first shot will be to try to own the customer by giving something away that provides access to just one service or a limited number of services (each of which pay you to be added to the list). We see this kind of thinking in video games. You sell the game box for very little (compared to its cost) and try to make your money selling the razor blades/games. And you may your cheap game box incompatible with your competitors'. Add wireless and Internet to a Dreamcast box, and suddenly Sega becomes a huge Internet player -- deriving much of its clout from how it limits the access it provides. I don't say that's good or that in the long run it wins. But in the short run, that's what I expect to see.
Alan Reiter -- Richard, look at the Palm VII. It's wireless-enabled, but you can still have all the Palm features. Look at the Qualcomm PDQ phone -- a Palm OS and a phone. Look at stock trading via BellSouth -- a pager for trading and messaging. In short, I am skeptical (I guess we agree to disagree!) about single-purpose devices as being a big market....unless prices decrease dramatically. If alpha pagers wholesale for $5 each, then perhaps they could be given away as single-purpose devices. Phones still cost a few hundred dollars to manufacture.
anthony alvarez -- By they way, where can I get alpha pagers that wholesale for $5?
Richard Seltzer -- Alan -- I've heard that E-trade and its competitors spend as much as $250 to $300 to acquire the average customer. Give-aways -- even of sophisticated devices -- become very attractive in that space, especially if you have some assurance that what you gave away can't be used to do business with your competitor.
Anthony Alvarez -- In their Instant mssg war w/ AOL, Microsoft has a plan to roll out wireless instant messenger service!!!
Alan Reiter -- Anthony, you are correct. In fact, Microsoft has estabish MSN Mobile to provide wireless services. I know a fair amount about Microsoft's plans for wireless. However, everything MS has done so far -- or said it was going to do -- hasn't really sparked the growth of wireless. Still, the future will indeed be wireless-enabled Web sites. It's already happening.
Anthony Alvarez -- There already are many high quality chat clients for the handheld devices like: ICQ, yahoo messenger, etc I am sure MSN will produce a chat client for Win CE devices in the future also.
Richard Seltzer -- Alan -- It feels like we're in that interim period, where what is technologically feasible isn't always doable yet in a business sense -- because of cost or incompatibility. So aiming for where this is going to be (in the not very distant future) will be somewhat of a challenge. There's no way to gage the speed at which incompatibilities will be dealt with and prices will plummet.
Alan Reiter -- Richard, 2000 will be the year of wireless data innovations in Europe. Already, there are more than 30 data services in the Czech Republic. There's wireless banking in Slovakia and Singapore. Stock trading in Hong Kong. There will be WAP phones (Wireless Access Protocol) being promoted with fancy (useful!) features. Stay tuned. 2000 will be very exciting in Europe and Asia. Prices will not be unreasonable. Most carriers will not charge much except regular messaging charges for such things are banking.
Alan Reiter -- Recommendations: For two-way paging, check out BellSouth Wireless Data and Skytel and PageNet. BellSouth offers unlimited messaging for about $60 a month (don't quote me on that figure!). It starts at $25 a month for about 25,000 characters. BellSouth is nationwide, as is Skytel and PageNet. It's really very good for e-mail.
Alan Reiter -- Recommendations 2: As for phones, that's a problem. There's Cellular Digital Packet Data in about 55 percent or so of the U.S., and you need a $500 PC Card modem or modem for a Palm. As for digital cellular, AT&T, for example, has one-way SMS (160 characters). I use AT&T and have unlimited messaging as part of my plan, but because of the one-way limitation and the character limitation, it's more of an alerting service.
Richard Seltzer -- Bluetooth sounds interesting. Is there a URL to see more? Maybe an article at your site?
Alan Reiter -- I believe you can find out more from http://www.bluetooth.com. I know a fair amount about it, but I don't think I have any articles on my site.
Alan Reiter -- Wireless games are being explored in Japan, the UK and the US. I am actually working in my capacity as a consultant to create a wireless game site -- with lots of other capabilities. The cost of wireles and ergonomics of devices are a problem. But you will see wireless games.
Ron Ron-- I guess no one has heard of teledesic. If interested, check out the site: www.teledesic.com. I would like your opinions of the project, e.g., what it might mean to individual Internet subscriber.
Richard Seltzer -- Ron -- what is teledesic? I'll check the site later, but I'm too busy typing now :-) What's the cliff-notes version...
Ron -- Teledesic is a company that has plans to launch 24 satellites for wireless communications.
Alan Reiter -- Yes, I am familiar with Teledesic. It's an Internet in the sky. Satellite is a problem because of delays in signals, expense of the system and the ultimate cost to the end user. Look at Iridium's problems, for example. I believe there will be at least one successful satellite data system, but it's a real challenge.
John Pioccone -- what do you think the time frame is in having this available?
Ron -- Teledesic seems to have a very agressive agenda - within a year of so I think.
Richard Seltzer -- Alan and Ron -- What's happening with Bill Gates' Internet in the sky project? Is that the same as Teledesic or is it a competitor? And when are they due to be available to the general public -- 1 year? 3? 5? And will that technology suffice for high-speed (1 Mbit+) wireless to anywhere? Or would that kind of speed require another generation of development?
Alan Reiter -- I'm not an expert in satellites for wireless data. However, you won't see much consumer use for a couple of years. Globalstar is worth watching. They hope to offer less expensive devices and airtime. As for speeds, they should be good enough for Web access. But 1M bps is fairly fast and expensive, so I suspect you won't see those speeds for a while.
Alan Reiter -- Stay tuned for a variety of companies offering messaging security and synchronization. Motorola bought Starfish for its synchronization capabilities.
Richard Seltzer -- Alan -- please explain -- what is "messaging synchronization"? What's the problem its meant to solve? And how does it solve it?
Alan Reiter -- The Web companies are concentrating first on desktop to desktop and desktop to portable computer synchronization. But there will be MANY ways to synch wireless devices. Motorola, for example, is beginning to offer sychronization for its two-way pagers.
Richard Seltzer -- What is the technical problem that synchronization solves?
Alan Reiter -- Message synchronization. I should have used another term. It's the ability to easily transfer information among different devices -- desktop, palmtop, pager, phone, etc. -- from any device. Starfish and Puma Technology are among the companies working on this. We also need better filtering and forwarding of messages. For example, ISPs should offer filtering and forwarding so different types of messages are sent to different devices.
Alan Reiter -- Richard, you are correct about wireless being used as a leapfrog technology. In Japan, because of the big keyboard required for Kanji, lots of people PREFER the simplicity of of a wireless phone for messaging. In a few countries, there are now more wireless phones than wireline phones.
Alan Reiter -- The U.S. has one major advantage -- unlimited local calls for a flat rate. Internet usage HAS been slowed overseas because of per-minute phone charges. However, one trend in Europe is free Internet service providers. And, I believe there probably will be discounted phone rates for Internet usage, too. In many parts of the world, it's often cheaper to use a cellular phone than to use a hotel phone. I suspect data will follow a decreasing pricing structure as well.
Alan Reiter -- Bob, it's really pathetic how SUBSCRIBERS understand the value of wireless and the value of messaging, but the U.S. carriers are morons about this. The carriers are spending huge amounts of money trying to "understand" wireless data. Instead, they should be promoting SMS services, offering two-way capabilities, offering good pricing deals, etc. They just don't get it. The Europeans and Asians do understand.
anthony alvarez -- Yes i working in Tokyo as a software engineer for 3 years. It seems that wireless phone is as important to the Japanese as a car is for an American.
Alan Reiter -- Voice recognition is still far way from perfection. There is a "predictive" keypad from a company called Tegic that guesses the correct word from the letters you've entered. Also, many manufacturers are working on larger phones for better text input. But it's still a problem.
Richard Seltzer -- Alan -- Amen about the phone keypad.
Richard Seltzer -- Alan -- is anybody working seriously on marrying voice recognition and speech synthesis with wireless gadgets -- to get away from the limitations of keyboards and screens -- to make these things extremely compact?
Alan Reiter -- Richard, there are many efforts underway in speech synthesis and speech recognition on many fronts. Hardware vendors -- Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, among others -- are looking at it. There is some limited speech recognition, for dialing, as an example. However, even speaker-dependent voice recognition is very tough to master. General Magic's Portico service -- designed for mobile phones -- is far from perfect in recognizing spoken commands. Still, voice command systems will continue to improve.
anthony alvarez -- I use a palm pilot and an very impressed with its "graffiti" input method. Prior, I was using an Apple newton and its hand recognition was as simplisitic as "graffiti". I would suggest that future wireless chat devices use "graffiti".
anthony alvarez -- Sorry, what i meant was apple input method wasnt goof-proof and intuitive.
Alan Reiter -- Anthony, wireless companies have *certainly* looked a Graffiti as an entry mechanism. But, the companies have decided that it's too cumbersome to require a stylus for text entry.
Alan Reiter -- Yes, I should be able to join you next week, too.
Richard Seltzer -- Alan -- terrific. "See" you again next week. Thanks very much for joining us today.
Alan Reiter -- A pleasure to participate. See you next Thursday.
