Extractions: Languages Time, Inc. Time.com People Fortune EW Mark Crispin Miller is a professor of media ecology at New York University. He is also involved with directing PrOMO, the Project on Media Ownership. He is a well-known writer on the media, and an activist for democratic media reform. He joined the CNN.com chat room from New York to discuss his new book, "The Bush Dyslexicon." CNN: Thank you for joining us today, Mark Crispin Miller, and welcome. MARK CRISPIN MILLER: Hello, everybody. CNN: What got made you so committed to doing the tremendous clipping and research that obviously went into this book? Did you feel it just had to be recorded? MILLER: Yes. I was quite shocked and saddened by what happened on December 12, 2000, when the Supreme Court aborted proper democratic procedures in the state of Florida. I was also struck by what seemed to me to be a grossly inadequate coverage of the presidential race by the major media. I therefore felt compelled to write a book that would offer readers a detailed record of how George W. Bush actually did perform on television, and at the same time, a record of how the media handled his performance. The result is "The Bush Dyslexicon." CHAT PARTICIPANT: Dyslexia is defined as a disturbance of the ability to read. What does "Dyslexicon" mean in your title?

Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press. 8 pages to print WE ARE OUTSIDE A HOUSE, LOOKING IN THE WINDOW, and this is what we see: a young man, apparently nude and half-crazed with anxiety, lunging toward the glass. "Gail !" he screams, as he throws the window open and leans outside, over a flowerbox full of geraniums: "The most important shower of my life, and you switch deodorant soap!" Cut to our hero, as he takes his important shower. No longer frantic, he now grins down at himself, apparently delighted to be caked with Shield, which, in its detergent state, has the consistency of wet cement. He then goes out of focus, as if glimpsed through a shower door. "Clinical tests prove," proclaims an eager baritone, "Shield fights odor better than the leading deodorant soap!" A bar of Shield (green) and a bar of that other soap (yellow) zip up the screen with a festive toot, forming a sort of graph which demonstrates that Shield does, indeed, "fight odor better, so you'll feel cleaner!" Finally, the word SHIELD appears in extreme close-up and the camera pulls back, showing two bars of the soap, one packaged and one not, on display amidst an array of steely bubbles. "Shield fights odor better, so you'll feel cleaner!" the baritone reminds us, and then our hero's face appears once more, in a little square over the unpackaged bar of soap: "I feel cleaner than ever before!" he insists, sounding faintly unconvinced.

This RFC specifies a standard for the SUMEX-AIM community and a proposed experimental protocol for the Internet community. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Introduction The intent of the Interactive Mail Access Protocol, Version 2 (IMAP2) is to allow a workstation or similar small machine to access electronic mail from a mailbox server. IMAP2 is the protocol used by the SUMEX-AIM MM-D (MM Distributed) mail system. Although different in many ways from POP2 ( RFC 937 ), IMAP2 may be thought of as a functional superset of POP2, and the POP2 RFC was used as a model for this RFC. There was a cognizant reason for this;

Crispin Request for Comments: 1176 Washington Obsoletes: RFC 1064 August 1990 INTERACTIVE MAIL ACCESS PROTOCOL - VERSION 2 Status of this Memo This RFC suggests a method for personal computers and workstations to dynamically access mail from a mailbox server ("repository"). It obosoletes RFC 1064 RFC 937 and RFC 1081 , IMAP2 may be thought of as a functional superset of these. RFC 937 was used as a model for this RFC. There was a cognizant reason for this; POP deals with a similar problem, albeit with a less comprehensive solution, and it was desirable to offer a basis for comparison. Like POP, IMAP2 specifies a means of accessing stored mail and not of posting mail; this function is handled by a mail transfer protocol such as SMTP ( RFC 821 RFC 822 protocol, specifically in the area of attachments and multi-media mail, to ease the eventual transition to ISO solutions. Unlike POP, IMAP2 has extensive features for remote searching and parsing of messages on the server. A free text search (optionally with other searching) can be made in the entire mailbox by the server and the results made available to the client without the client having to transfer the entire mailbox and searching itself. Since remote parsing of a message into a structured (and standard format) "envelope" is available, a client can display envelope information and implement commands such as REPLY without having any understanding of how to parse
Geek Talk The Regular Expression Rundown What is a regular expression ? crispin Roven has the answer. Newbieoriented. Wired News http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/geektalk/97/33/index3a.html
Extractions: - Baldemar A: Regular expressions are programming constructs that look like #!?#@!!# comic-book expletives and can be wondrously powerful tools. Regular expressions are used to recognize patterns within textual data. Their use has become so widespread that they appear in configuration files, mail filters, text editors, and any number of programming languages. Any application that acts on text may very well harness their power. Regular expressions evaluate text data and return an answer of true or false. That is, either the expression correctly describes the data, or it doesn't. What data the expression evaluates and what transpires after a successful match depends entirely on the application. We might substitute new text in the place of the text matched by a regular expression. We might save the matched text in a variable for later use. We might execute a new program when we see a correct match. And so on. There are several variants, but all regular expressions consist of characters to be matched as well as a series of special characters that can be said to further describe the data. In Unix, the
