Gold Key, an FSU leadership honorary society, gave Reeves its 1996 Ross Oas won a prize for helping make oysters safe to eat. Gold Key, an FSU leadership honorary society, gave Reeves its 1996 Ross Oglesby Award for his work with others in developing a probe to locate harmful or fatal bacteria in raw oysters. The probe was developed in 1992, after a bacteria-tainted oyster harvest, and received a U.S. patent in 1995. Reeves, who has also won teaching awards, came to FSU in 1979 and directed FSU¹s Program in Medical Sciences from 1979 to 1992. Honorary doctorate Researchers from around the world came to the FSU campus last fall to attend a symposium o the FSU campus last fall to attend a symposium celebrating the honorary doctorate of Sir James Lighthill of the University College London department of mathematics. Lighthill, one of the great mathematicians and fluid physicists of the 20th century, was in Tallahassee on Nov. 6 to receive the doctorate from FSU President Sandy D¹Alemberte.

Back Original Paper (with figures) The VAN Method of Short-Term Earthquake Prediction by Seiya UYEDA Research Leader, RIKEN International Frontier Program on Earthquake Research, Professor of Tokai University In Greece, short-term earthquake prediction has been in practice for more than a decade. The method, called the "VAN", is based on monitoring of geoelectric potential changes. @Incorporating the VAN with other promising methods of different disciplines, it seems possible not only to improve earthquake prediction but also to open new frontiers of earth science leading to better understanding of fundamental crustal processes. What is VAN Method? Earthquake prediction aims to specify three elements, namely when, where, and how large the impending earthquake will be. It is generally recognized that such is hard to achieve with the capability of the present seismological science. It may, therefore, sound unbelievable that earthquake prediction has been in practice in Greece for more than a decade. The method is called the VAN method, after the initials of three Greek scientists, Professors P. Varotsos, K. Alexopoulos and K.Nomicos, all from the University of Athens. Soon after an earthquake hit the Athens area in early 1981, causing serious damage, they started monitoring the geoelectric potential changes, because, as solid state physicists, they anticipated that some electric current may be generated in the earthquake source region before catastrophe.

Johnson displayed a contempt for the present Government of South Africa and a hatred of the African National Congress that may have surprised some readers ( LRB , 19 August ). It was not surprising to those familiar with Mr Johnson's writings. As an example, the Times published in December 1996 a supposed news report by Mr Johnson. He wrote that the Constitutional Court of South Africa, in finding that the country's new Constitution met the legal tests laid down for it, had 'bent the knee to the ANC leadership'. Mr Johnson added that the ANC 'has an overwhelming majority' in the Court. A week later the Times published a letter from Sydney Kentridge (now Sir Sydney), a great South African lawyer who has more recently become a leading figure at the English Bar. Of Mr Johnson's statement that the ANC had 'an overwhelming majority' in the Court, Mr Kentridge wrote: 'This is simply false.' He pointed out, among other things, that six of the 11 members of the Court had been judges of the Supreme Court of South Africa appointed by the previous, National Party Government. As for bending the knee, Mr Kentridge said: 'a less subservient court . . . would be hard to find.'

Lighthill, Michael James Born: 23 Jan 1924 in Paris, France Died: 17 July 1998 in Sark, Channel Islands Sir James Lighthill was known as Michael Lighthill when he was a young man. He was educated at Winchester College and, at the age of 15 he won a scholarship to Trinity College Cambridge. However, he chose to wait until he was 17 years old before entering Trinity College which he did in 1941. He graduated with a BA in 1943, after taking a course shortened because of World War II. While at Cambridge, Lighthill met Nancy Dumaresq who was studying mathematics at Newnham College. Lighthill tried to get a job in the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough after he graduated, since Nancy already had a job there. However, he was offered a job in the Aerodynamics Division of the National Physical Laboratory at Teddington. Lighthill married Nancy in 1945, the year he finished his job at the National Physical Laboratory. Lighthill was elected a fellow of Trinity College in 1945 and he held this fellowship until 1949. In 1946 he was appointed as a Senior Lecturer at Manchester University and there he set up a very strong fluid dynamics group which soon dominated research in fluids. In 1950 Lighthill was promoted to Beyer Professor of Applied Mathematics at Manchester University.

Division of Informatics Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence at Edinburgh University : a Perspective November 1994 Jim Howe The Nature of Artificial Intelligence History of AI at Edinburgh Unlike its predecessors, the new Department had also committed itself to contribute to undergraduate teaching. Its first course, AI2, a computational modelling course, was launched in 1974/75. This was followed by an introductory course, AI1, in 1978/79. By 1982, it was able to launch its first joint degree, Linguistics with Artificial Intelligence. There were no blueprints for these courses: in each case, the syllabuses had to be carved out of the body of research.

Reviews Up To: jmc home page These reviews mostly concern an enormous variety of misconceptions of artificial Intelligence. I think I've successfully converted all of them to latex2html, so if you find any glitches, please let me know. Two reviews of Computer Power and Human Reason by Joseph Weizenbaum They were written in 1975 or 1976 and was published in a Stanford report along with two other reviews. Review of ``Artificial Intelligence: A General Survey'' by Professor Sir James Lighthill This appeared in Artificial Intelligence , Vol. 5, No. 3 (1974). There is also a review of Lighthill after 20 years by Martin Lam. Review of Artificial Intelligence: the Very Idea by John Haugeland. This review was to appear in SIAM News in 1987, but I don't know whether it did. Review of Mathematics: The Loss of Certainty by Morris Kline This review and the following one were for the Washington Post . I don't know whether they appeared. Review of Weapons and Hope Freeman Dyson . I believe this review appeared in Reason some time in the eighties.
