If you have not yet listed yourself in our BIOSCI user directory, please take a few minutes to complete and return the form below. If your personal information has changed since you listed yourself, please send us a complete new updated form. We can not make manual revisions to existing entries. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIOSCI/bionet Manager biosci-help@net.bio.net **** How to cancel a BIOSCI e-mail subscription **** If you want to cancel your e-mail subscription to this group, PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR UNSUBSCRIBE REQUEST TO THE NEWSGROUP ADDRESS (NOR REPLY TO A MESSAGE POSTED TO THE NEWSGROUP)!!! This would send your request to all of the readers of the newsgroup, but it might still not be seen by the BIOSCI staff - thus you would annoy many people and possibly not accomplish your goal anyway. BIOSCI newsgroup instructions are available on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/BIOSCI/docs.html. If you need personal assistance, a BIOSCI staff member can be contacted at either of the following addresses. Please contact the address designated for your location. Support Address Location --------------- -------- biosci@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia biosci-help@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim **** SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES **** The easiest way to search the BIOSCI archives is to use Mosaic or another World Wide Web browser and connect to the BIOSCI WWW home page at URL http://www.bio.net/. We maintain three indexes which are searchable: (1) an index of all BIOSCI postings; (2) an index of individual journal article references from the Table of Contents postings on the BIO-JOURNALS newsgroup; and (3) an index of BIOSCI users including regular mail and e-mail addresses, phone/FAX numbers, research interests, and newsgroup participation. E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using our waismail e-mail server. For instructions send the message help to waismail@net.bio.net. Leave the Subject: line blank (anything entered on the Subject: line is ignored). **** BIOSCI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) SHEET **** New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI. The FAQ provides details on how to participate in these forums and fix problems that you might encounter in using the newsgroups. The FAQ and other BIOSCI documentation is available through our WWW home page at URL http://www.bio.net/. The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the posting of the BIOSCI information sheet. **** BIOSCI USER ADDRESS DIRECTORY **** Please take this opportunity to add your name and address information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server (send the word "help" to waismail@net.bio.net to get instructions; any text on the Subject: line of your message will be ignored, so put the help command in the body of the mail message.). MAKING SURE THAT YOUR INFORMATION IS CURRENT This notice will be mailed bimonthly to each newsgroup. You should check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date.

Sending mail to "Postmaster" at this mailing list address will do you no good because: 1) The system admins from UIUC would not be monitoring the list to read your concern 2) The evil poster does not read this list - she just bulk posted to all lists available through UIUC 3) This mailing list is *unmoderated* which means that there is no human filtering system to remove offending material, thus no one to blame that it slipped through. > I realize full well that it is not an easy task to ferret this malcontent out. > But it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. See point 3 above. There is no one to point a finger at. If all users used the internet in a responsible fashion, human gatekeepers would not be required. Unfortunatley, until a "bogus filter" can be written or unless someone wishes to moderate this newsgroup, this problem is bound to continue. > I am sure if you poll readers of the bio-matrix mailing list you will find > MANY irrate users just now. Indeed. In fact, this person posted to thousands of newsgroups so I suspect the entire internet community is feeling this way. According to an official at UIUC, the person received *thousands* of hate-mail messages in response to these bogus postings. The account has been closed. Any flames you send will never be read by that individual. Sending mail now will just increase the number of deletes that the sys admin needs to perform to clean this mess up. Fortunatley, this poster had a university address. Action was taken by contacting central computing at the school. (Clearly a misuse of account privledges.) However, it is not so easy to track down info on bogus *.com accounts. That will be the ground for future battles. Cheers, -Rogene Rogene M.

This mailing list is one of the ones affected by this work. The changes do not affect the parallel USENET newsgroup associated with this mailing list. So that the e-mail subscription routines will be consistent for all of the BIOSCI mailing lists at net.bio.net, we are adopting the convention that the <= 8 character e-mail address for each mailing list will be the text that is used in the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands sent to biosci-server@net.bio.net.

Please note that the UK BIOSCI node uses different mailing list management software which incorporates the bionet USENET newsgroup name in the SUB command, e.g., sub bionet-news.bionet.jobs.offered. UK BIOSCI subscribers should ignore the following info. The old server commands for this newsgroup were subscribe bio-matrix unsubscribe bio-matrix The NEW server commands are subscribe biomatrx unsubscribe biomatrx PLEASE DO NOT send these commands to the mailing list address.

Our area of research is the study of the molecular basis of immune recognition. This problem is studied from a wide spectrum that goes from the analysis of the structural diversity of the germline repertoire, the comparison of the immune molecular recognition strategies in vertebrates, the construction of a 3-d specialized database of Igs, Mhc and Tcr and it analysis, molecular dynamics studies of the Fv, etc. We try to integrate these studies in the context of theoretical models and the general theory of the immune response.

Despite all the bad news, such as reduction of legal immigration and elimination of some family categories, there are a few signs of relief. Both outstanding researchers/professors and national interest waivers were restored to the Bill. So professionals( scientists, post-docs, engineers etc.) can still apply for permanent residence without labor certification and sponsorship of their employers. On the other hand, for those who have to apply through labor cert, they are, as usual, still at the mercy of the Labor Dept. Any positive change is yet to be seen. Although waiver of labor certification and employer sponsorship is still obtainable for those who qualify, difficulties have been on the rise and more are expected. Nearly all four Service Centers have implemented some newly proposed requirements that make it very difficult to obtain an approval. According to administrative rules no law should be carried out until it is final. Despite the rules, INS is already treating the proposals like enforceable law. In the real world, things are not always the way they are supposed to be. This is even more so in immigration practice with today's anti-immigration fervor. I am an immigration attorney specializing in employment based immigration(1st and 2nd preference). I will hold seminars on how to apply for a green card without labor certification and sponsorship of the employer. The intended audiences of my seminar are professionals with advanced degrees or a bachelor degree plus five years of work experience. I will also cover the impact of HR 2202 on future immigration. The locations of the seminar will include: 1.
