I have first evidence that all 7 parts of speech -- written or spoken
-- follow Poisson models. I wish to verify these models on a broader
basis and to find how they are inter-related (mutually caused?).
If you know of funding sources for this kind of research then please
forward information to:
                   Anthony F. Badalamenti PhD
                   afjb@ix.netcom.com.
Thank you.

Hallelujah to that.  The computer is a tool, not a universal solution for all 
lab problems.  ("When your favorite tool is a hammer, every problem looks like 
a nail.")
In our work, all our experiments are computer-controlled and logged, which 
produces vast numbers of files of raw data and spreadsheets formed from the 
data.  In the notebook, these files are cross-indexed and interpreted.  
Reduced copies of spreadsheet plots are taped into the notes.  Files from each 
project are stored on a numbered series of diskettes, each backed up once.  I 
use a file-naming system that incorporates the date:  the first file taken 
today would be 112396a.prn, the next is 112396b.prn, etc.  This makes it easy 
to locate the notebook reference for any file.

Lots of people have managed long-term projects quite successfully.  The way 
you do it is to break it into a series of short-term goals which are proposed 
and financed in sequence.  Something like suspended animation could be 
easily rationalized using an incremental approach.  After all, just about 
every scientist has some kind of long term goal -- the elimination of 
cancer, a cure for autoimmune diseases, a totally efficient mousetrap.
The Apollo project and the genome project are two of the few exceptions to 
this, but the amount of political machination and maneuvering needed to pull 
off something like this is a dozen orders of magnitude beyond a public 
subscription on Usenet.
