The ECHOLIST conference provides access to The International EchoList and it's publisher. It is primarily meant as a convenient, read-only method for people to see announcements of new and updated entries as they are posted rather than waiting for the monthly publication and distribution of the report files. The ECHOLIST conference supports submitting ECHO QUERY messages, which produce as a reply a report of the contents of the EchoList database. This conference also provides access to the author and publisher for questions and discussion of the database and the update process. The ECHOLIST conference is NOT for discussion of the flow or administration of EchoMail (refer to the ZEC conference for your Zone), it is NOT for discussion of the internal operation of EchoMail conferencing (refer to the MODERATOR conference), and it is NOT for the discussion of finding and establishing EchoMail links (refer to the ECHO_REQ conference).

Allowing our children to have an area of thier own is necessary to give our kids the opportunity to expand their capabilities in the age of electronics and home computing. Our children are our most valued resources in the persuit of a future for a nation with strong goals in computers. Our future belongs to them. They are our destiny. The KIDS Echo Conference was designed with them in mind. Therefore, each adult should encourage its use and give it direction. Direction without interferance except to insure that the echo is wholesome and that it grows with common decency as viewed by the public as a whole. Schools systems are encouraged to participate in the KIDS echo. Our goal is to link the schools all over the world in an environment which will benefit our educators as well as our students. School projects should be encouraged by our teachers and the echo used as a basis for these projects. Additionally, the KidsNews newsletter can be a viable medium for students, teachers, parents and school organizations to express ideas and activities. KidsNews is the official newsletter of the KIDS echo conference. It is there for YOUR use.

ANNs are models of cognitive computation based upon and inspired by biological nervous systems, using many low level processors with massive interconnection in order to accomplish significant function in adaptive signal processing, pattern recognition, expert systems, process control, DNA sequence recognition, and many other applications. Cognitive and behavioral scientists are able to model many phenomena through even the simple ANN models available now. This Echo serves to support those interested in this multi-disciplinary field to locate resources, discuss problems, and exchange code related to ANNs. Significant news items from the Usenet comp.ai.neural-nets newsgroup, Neuron Digest listings, calls for papers, meeting announcements, and other news from the outside world get posted in NEURAL_NET. Discussion of the implications of ANN technology coexists with discussions of applications. If thinking about the "how" of thinking appeals to you, this Echo should be on your "must read" (and write) list.

Alter even one part of that equation, and most of our society doesn't know how to deal with you. Chances are, our government doesn't want to deal with your unique situation, either. That doesn't make YOU crazy; it just means THEY don't understand. If you're interested in altering that equation, or if you're interested in legislation or bureaucracy that tries to make us conform our reproductive lives to their standards, join us. This echo is intended to be a support group and a clearinghouse for information that affects our most personal family decisions. An open mind and a willingness to tolerate others' choices is a prequisite for joining this conference. Contact Donna at 114/113.11 to establish links; we hope to be on the backbone before long.

If you watched his old TV show on WWOR, or you listen to him on one of the many stations that he's on in this country, then this is the place for you! Messages that flame Howard aren't welcome here, but intelligent discussions are. If you don't like Howard, that's fine, but you won't find anything of interest here if you get it. Due to the rather adult nature of Howard's show, discussions of the materials there will spill over into this conference. Due to this, it might be a good idea to restrict access to this conference to younger callers to your BBS. This is a non- backbone conference, and for right now, the only way to get a feed is to send private Netmail to Joe Siegler at 1:124/9006. I'm hoping to get this on the Backbone shortly, and with your help, I'm sure that this won't be a problem, since he has a much wider coverage area now.

This is a support echo for teens who are facing problems such as peer pressure, drugs, family problems, gangs, lack of self esteem, pregnancy, school problems, and the like. Peer support and adult encouragement are very important here. Teens in Fresno County Juvenile Hall are able to participate through a special volunteer program, therefore, "Handles" are REQUIRED to protect identities. T.O.T.T Sysop companion echo also REQUIRED for Sysops. Sysops wishing to carry the TOTT echo agree to the following guidelines: Configure your system to require handles on the TOTT echo. Profanity, racial remarks, or name-calling are not permitted. Criticism or putdowns of others' efforts (spelling, grammar, opinions) are not acceptable. VERY IMPORTANT! Kids who wind up in custody often have learning disabilities or come from dysfunctional families where they have often "failed" or been "put down" for their efforts. By accepting their efforts and encouraging them to keep trying, we attempt to show them they can be successful. Gang-related talk or messages are not permitted. Please assist in identifying gang-related type messages which may be different in different parts of the country. Alert us via TOTT_SYSOP to any message you feel may be a problem. Agree to carry and use the TOTT_SYSOP echo in order to remain up to date on current issues or problems. Post a test message on TOTT_SYSOP as soon as you receive the echo, giving us your name and the name, net address and location of your BBS.

In America, most Buddhists received the dharma from teachers coming from Sri Lanka, Japan, and other Asian countries. Yet, to be a Buddhist, one does not need to adopt Sri Lankan, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Tibetan, and other beliefs. YEN_KI is for the discussion of Buddhism and its interaction with everyday life in America. Its name is a hybrid, just like American culture: Yen is a Chinese word for fire, Ki is Japanese for energy. We discuss anything from baseball and apple pie, through abortion and racism, to Bodhisattva of Nazareth and Native American beliefs, all from a dharma perspective.
