I think the "Isr" refers to Israel, as it comes just after the Italian reference. Possibly they were needing pass ports to these places.
Also I was thinking that if you wanted to appear married, you might bring a photo of someone you would carry in your wallet. Or if this woman was still alive at the time, he may have needed to show someone what she looked like for a future meeting for the other party ( a contact if you will ).
Also the hair dye is noted for G, so I think it was for him. Was this a trip that was being planned?

I have been re-reading this thread and the squib notes and find it very interesting that there are a lot of notes dated 1970/71. I have always thought that they had been planning this for a long time, I'm now wondering if they planned to abduct her in 1971 and you going on your bus trip in 1971 foiled their plan and they had to wait until after your return in 1972. Can you remember the date you left and the date you returned? They would probably have needed to "brush up" on their plan before abducting Anna in Jan 1973.
I find it really interesting that GW was keeping track of his mileage between 9/5/70 and 9/20/70 (see below) but it wasn't an ongoing thing.
Post 142, page 6 on this thread.
9/5/70 7542
9/8/70 7754 9.4 (st) 22.5 mi/gal
9/11/70 7912 7.5 (st) 21.0
9/14/70 8060 7.3 (st) 20.3
9/16/70 8241 8.5 (mobil) 21.3
9/20/70 8422 9.3 ( " ) 19.4 (3-4 hrs idling)
That's quite a few miles in such a short time. Why would GW be siting in his car idling for 3-4 hrs unless he was watching something or someone?
Was GW in the habit of checking his mileage?
When did all the insurance policies start? If they also started in 1970 it would make it even more interesting.
The other interesting thing I came across is in post 117, page 5, "Renew boxes" (plural). I think it was assumed that these were P O boxes, but I'm thinking they might be safety deposit boxes. We know GB had a safety deposit box but they might have had more than one. I can't think of any reason they would have more than one P O box but I can understand more than one SD box, money in one and private documents in another.
Has anyone ever done a search on unclaimed deceased estates/money? I would think unclaimed safety deposit boxes would be included.

I think you may be on to something here, Ozziemum. Add to "opportunity" the fact that the neighbors in the big house had just moved and with them the only dog which barked at strangers, the fact that Joe Ford and I had been married just three months before, and that I was not accompanying Anna home from school as I did on Mondays. (She disappeared on a Tuesday.)
Dont think this will be of any real value but i thought i'd put it out there, from 1967/68 onwards past the early seventies at least i think, there was a comic called Mr Natural not a very good one from what i can find out, But one i can for some reason see GB reading, heres part of a wee review from wiki about it. Also the authour Robert Crumb did a biography which is also mentioned in the wiki link, the person in this biography also just made me think of GB
comic review
Part wise man, part conman, Mr. Natural has strange, magical powers and possesses cosmic insight; but he is also moody, cynical, self-pitying, and suffers from various strange sexual obsessions. He is endlessly being accosted by would-be disciples seeking the truth (among them such long-running Crumb characters as Flakey Foont and Shuman the Human). He typically regards them with amused condescension and a certain grudging affection, although his patience often wears thin and he takes sadistic pleasure in making them feel like idiots. While he is typically very cool and in control, he sometimes ends up in humiliating predicaments like getting tossed in jail for child molestation or languishing for years in a mental institution. In recent years he has entered into a tempestuous relationship with Devil Girl, another popular Crumb character. Enormously popular during the underground comics fad of the '60s and '70s and still enjoying a cult following today, Mr. Natural has been endlessly merchandised -- as a decorative plastic statue and on bumper stickers, posters, T-shirts, etc
Part of review about Robert Crumbs biography
In the "biography", "Fred Natural" leaves America and travels for many years in Asia, which is where he picks up his unique combination of wisdom and chicanery. For a time he worked a taxicab driver in Afghanistan.[4] He returns to America during the Beat era of the 1960s, and is drawn to the San Francisco Bay area by nubile girls and people willing to listen and pay for his improvisational spirituality. He exhorts his disciples to eat only his own line of "Mr. Natural Brand Foods", and to listen to his broadcasts on WZAP Radio.
ISR was also a treatment for semantic dementia and aphasia stroke, not sure what the treatment is or if it was used in 70's, but will try to find out, in the morning, 2.30am here off to bed night, god bless

I don't know about this "Mr Natural", I mean, if there was any deep meaning behind it. In Australia, not sure if it means the same in the US, if you are wearing your birthday suit, it means you are naked. Maybe GB liked to walk around naked at home (it wouldn't surprise me, he thought he was God's gift to women) and GW might have made a joke about "A birthday suit for G" and called GB "Mr Natural" GW might have thought this funny enough to write it in his book.
I guess we look for the sinister reason behind everything he wrote (which we should) but I find it a bit strange that this is the only time GW referred to GB as "Mr Natural", normally GW wrote G or Geo.

Mr. Natural was a cartoon character created by R. Crumb. The description above is of the character, not an actual person. R. Crumb published his cartoons in underground "comix" such as "Zap Comix" and also several of his characters had their own titles, including Mr. Natural.
Crumb lived in Marin County and also played in a bluegrass band called "The Cheap Suit Serenaders". I actually saw them in concert in the late 1970's - they opened a SF show for folk singer U. Utah Phillips.
Crumb was one wierd dude and he may have known Brody, but it seems more likely that the two Georges probably heard of the Mr. Natural character through exposure to the counter-culture that existed in SF at the time.Order the book "Searching For Anna" directly from [URL="http://www.lulu.com/conte
Drdoogie thanks for clearing up the biography review, it was 2.30am when i was looking at it, and i just couldnt get my head around it, my brain just couldnt work out who it was based on as in the review they mentioned it possibly being based loosely on Crumb, like i said didnt think it was of any value, just wanted it to be out there, save someone else coming across it and posting it, and deep down inside i was hoping that a storyline in this comic from that time might throw up a clue, i know its far fetched but if i didnt look deeper, my mind wouldnt rest, so here i am looking online for a synopsis of his comic editions.

About the insurance policies... I have them saved on my pc at home on Excel. I have been in Florida for over a week settling an estate and not sure how long I will be here. Sometime today I will ask one of the many who are still living at home if they will email the file to me and I will post later on today.
I will also have them send the photo of GW holding Anna about the time she was a year old.

I think GW only kept the mileage on his car while on vacation. There are notes about taking "M's" picture on vacation. Can someone total the miles driven and get an idea how far he would have driven from San Francisco?

UK's first keyhole surgery to replace worn out heart valve completedApril 6th, 2009 - 2:40 pm ICT by ANI
London, April 6 (ANI): Surgeons at King's College Hospital in London have for the first time in Britain achieved a breakthrough in replacing a worn out prosthetic heart valve with a new one via keyhole surgery through the chest.
The operation was performed on George Bott, 78, from south London, last month.
Bott had his first artificial heart valve fitted in 2002, but it began to fail last year and started to cause breathlessness and fainting.
Doctors who saw him recommended the new procedure, known as transapical aortic valve replacement, because they thought that it was too risky for Bott to go through another open-heart surgery.
During the operation, the new heart valve was carried on a tube that was passed through the chest wall directly into the heart, and then fitted inside the reopened old valve.
The surgeons say that this procedure is less invasive and less risky for certain patients.
This advance suggests that people who are too ill to undergo open-heart surgery may still get their worn out valve replaced.According to the surgeons behind the breakthrough operation, patients into their 80s and 90s will be eligible for heart surgery using this technique.
While low risk patients will continue to have the open heart procedure, patients too ill for this will be considered for the transapical aortic valve replacement.
"We are very excited about what this could mean for patients at King's and other hospitals," the Telegraph quoted Olaf Wendler, Clinical Director for Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery at King's, who carried out the surgery, as saying.
"Because patients undergoing repeat operations on the heart are twice as likely to suffer complications following surgery, many are not put forward again. The fact that the minimally invasive technique developed at King's has now been used successfully to replace a prosthetic heart valve is a major achievement, and could help to prolong and improve the lives of many patients in the UK," he added.
Wendler said that the average age of patients in the programme at King's was 80, and the oldest was 93.
He said: "The patients are often surprised that surgery can be considered. In these patients who are already quite old and often do not suffer from any other medical problems, if we correct this heart problem they will live longer than some people of the same age without the heart problem and that is amazing."
Ellen Mason, cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "This is really groundbreaking work as Mr Bott had already had his own heart valve replaced with a tissue one through open heart surgery and to be able to replace that one with a new one with keyhole methods is brilliant. We knew this kind of work would start to come and it will benefit many people in the long run."
Mason added: "We need to see how the first few hundred patients being done around the world do afterwards and eventually we may not do open heart surgery for this kind of valve replacement at all in the future. We are very positive about this work being done at King's." (ANI)

Sorry, no etymologies found.
It was of a style popularly known as a swallowtail, faced with satin as to lapels and once gracefully rounded to a long, bisected skirt in the rear.
Informal evening dress differs from formal in the wearing of the Tuxedo or dinner coat in place of the "swallowtail," and the substitution of a black silk for a white lawn tie.
He was punctiliously dressed in the mode: a "swallowtail," bright, soft silk tie of ample proportions, frilled linen, and sparkling studs.
His doublet was prolonged behind into something resembling a violent exaggeration of what is now termed a "swallowtail," but was much obscured by the swelling folds of an enormous black, glossy-looking cloak, which must have been very much too long in calm weather, as the wind, whistling round the old house, carried it clear out from the wearer's shoulders to about four times his own length.

"swallowtail" coat with brass buttons made its appearance, and with shoes newly polished he was ready for church.
Norfolk sites such as Hickling Broad will see probably our most photogenic butterfly – the swallowtail – begin to emerge at the end of the month.

My closest encounter came at Strumpshaw Fen RSPB reserve, where I had gone in search of swallowtail butterflies and Norfolk hawker dragonflies.
Albert was taken by a third of this species—really an upright mantid of sorts, its carapace like a gleaming veined topcoat in swallowtail.
But now he could freely mingle with the other thirteen hundred students who darted about the campus in their Edwardian-era Mr. Chips uniform of pinstripe trousers worn with a swallowtail coat.

Feds cut $19 million from Maine psych hospital
AUGUSTA, Maine — The federal government has cut $19 million in funding from a troubled psychiatric hospital in Maine, but the state will appeal the decision, health officials announced on Thursday.
The Riverview Psychiatric Center in Augusta had been in danger of losing federal dollars in August following a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid review that found problems, including overcrowding and its use of correctional officers with patients.

MARK YOUR CALENDARSCancer Center Seminar Series: Advancing Immune Cell Therapies Through Imaging
Friday, February 10
Please join us Friday, February 10 for the next Cancer Center Seminar Series where Dr. Christopher H. Contag, Professor and Associate Chief of Pediatrics– Neonatal & Developmental Medicine and Microbiology & Immunology at Stanford University, will present Advancing Immune Cell Therapies Through Imaging.
Imaging enables the in vivo study of cell biology, and when integrated with thorough studies in culture and ex vivo analyses, can reveal the nuances of disease mechanisms and of subtlety of therapeutic responses.
Visible animal models of human biology and disease comprise one of the most important contributions of molecular imaging to human health as they serve to accelerate and refine the analyses of mammalian biology and offer rapid readouts for the development of new therapies. Dr. Contag's lab has developed imaging approaches based on optical reporter genes and have used them to reveal immune cell trafficking patterns, regulation of gene expression, extent of tumor growth, stem cell biology, and nature of host responses to infection. Recently, his lab revealed the kinetics of stem cell engraftment and hematopoietic reconstitution, elucidated the nature of minimal residual disease states following cancer therapy, and identified tissue sites that pathogens use to evade the host immune response.Research Best Practices Day 2012
Registration is now open for Research Best Practices Day 2012, February 22 from 9 am - 4 pm in the Wolstein Research Building Auditorium. This annual event is open to the entire research community. Each year, several topics are presented by local experts as part of CWRU's ongoing training in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR). A session on NIH public access policy compliance has been added to the day's agenda. Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to attend one or more of the sessions that are applicable to their research:
On February 20, the Hematology Program of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at the NIH will host a one day workshop onRegulatory Determinants of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Self-Renewal, Lineage Commitment and Terminal Differentiation: New Insights. This "state-of-the-science" workshop will take place at the American Institute of Architects building in Washington, DC. The objectives of the workshop are to provide an opportunity for research leaders in the field of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) biology to review and discuss current understanding of how HSC self-renewal, lineage commitment, and terminal differentiation are regulated, to define knowledge gaps and key unanswered questions in these critical aspects of HSC biology, and to define opportunities, directions, and priorities for future research that will address these questions. The program will include presentations by both invited speakers and speakers selected from submitted abstracts, together with poster presentations.
A limited number of travel grants will be made available to registrants whose abstracts are selected for oral presentation at the workshop. Space at the workshop will be limited, and so early registration is encouraged. Registrants who submit abstracts for presentation at the workshop will be given preference if the number of registrants exceeds available space.

The project may be ongoing research in the mentor's lab or original and does not need to be completed in the program period.
Deadline: March 15Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation Senior Research Award
The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) seeks proposals for the 2012 Senior Research Award Program, an initiative supporting researchers who have more than five years experience in blood cancer research. The goal of this initiative is to accelerate the development of therapeutic approaches for myeloma and may include proposals in basic science or translational research.
Deadline: March 27Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Fellowship Award
The Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation is accepting applications for the Fellowship Award. The Foundation encourages all theoretical and experimental research relevant to the study of cancer and the search for cancer causes, mechanisms, therapies and prevention.
Candidates must apply for the fellowship under the guidance of a Sponsor–a scientist (tenured, tenure-track or equivalent position) capable of providing mentorship to the Fellow. In addition to aiding in the planning, execution and supervision of the proposed research, the Sponsor's role is to foster the development of the Fellow's overall knowledge, technical and analytical skills, and capacity for scientific inquiry. The Sponsor is also expected to assist the Fellow in attaining his/her career goals.
Deadline: March 15
ANNOUNCEMENTSDissecting Scope Needed
The Markowitz lab is looking for a dissecting scope that someone might have that is not in active use. Please contactDr. Sandy Markowitz with any information.Summer Volunteers: Placements Needed
It's that of year again where we receive requests from students inquiring about summer research positions. Currently, we need a place for one student who has an interest in bone cancer, but is open to a position in any area. If you are willing to take this student or any summer student, please send an email to Lyn Haselton, Cancer Center Training Program Manager. We will add your name to a list and will send you resumes if we receive them.

Enrico- First, I'm pretty sure I remember that graph algorithms on cyclic, labeled pseudo graphs include some semidecidable things, but I could be wrong. More importantly, however, don't forget that RDF actually allows for RDF statements that change the semantics of RDF itself. For example, I can have a document that reads rdfs:class rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:subClassOf. and I'm suspecting that any language that allows such self-modification must allow me to do some really nasty stuff. I could be wrong, to be honest I have studied the RDF/S model theories well enough to know if anyone has put in things to prohibit creating nasty situations, so I apologize if I am wrong... but it is hard for me to imagine that a query language querying a graph that could have been modified in relatively arbitrary ways wouldn't have potential problems. I also recall that one of the differences between OWL DL and OWL Full was putting in some restrictions to prevent some of the RDF things that caused undecidability... but I'm not the expert on this stuff, Peter Patel-Schneider and Ian Horrocks were the ones who had the most decidability issues (note that technically we are talking semi-decidability) -- it's also possible that the problems were coming from the extra expressiveness of the OWL over the RDFS so, again, I could be wrong. -JH -- Professor James Hendler http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/hendler Director, Semantic Web and Agent Technologies 301-405-2696 Maryland Information and Network Dynamics Lab. 301-405-6707 (Fax) Univ of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 240-277-3388 (Cell)Received on Thursday, 15 July 2004 17:00:15 UTC
