"...The ark is below Rev 4 sarsen stone, the same inside Rev 2 white stone. According to The Fellows, this is about their study of European History, more specifically, their study of "Embarassment initiated Action in our European History". And so, this is about The Fellows of London casinos, and The Fellows of Vegas casinos, first, followed by The Fellows of all casinos, unto the last Fellow, casting lots, in the name of "Embarassment initiates Action in our European Society". The Fellows are saying, The little book, is very interesting..."

"Forty two Fellows of the Royal Society (including 5 Nobel Laureates) have signed the following Open Letter to Lord Martin Rees expressing concern about the Society's statement on open access:
Lord Rees
President
Royal Society
6-9 Carlton Terrace
London
SW1Y 5AG
7th December 2005
Dear Lord Rees
As Fellows of the Royal Society, we would like to express our disappointment with the Society's recent position statement1 on open access to published research. The society's statement, which takes a largely negative stance on open access, appears to be aimed at delaying implementation of the Research Councils UK's proposed policy2 on access to research outputs.
As working scientists who support open access to published research, we believe that the Society should support RCUK's proposal, rather than oppose it. The proposed RCUK policy will ensure that the results of research funded by the Research Councils are made freely and rapidly available, maximizing their utility not only to the scholarly community in the United Kingdom and around the world, but also to practitioners (including doctors and nurses) and to the British public whose taxes largely support the research. The RCUK policy has strong backing from librarians and academics, and has received official support3 from Universities UK, the organization that represents UK university vice-chancellors and principals.
In seeking to delay or even to block the proposed RCUK policy, the Royal Society appears to be putting the concerns of existing publishers (including the Society itself) ahead of the needs of science. The position statement ignores considerable evidence demonstrating the viability of open access, instead warning ominously of 'disastrous' consequences for science publishing. We believe that these concerns are mistaken.
The move towards open access to research literature builds on the tradition of making research data openly available, a standard that is well established within the scientific community. For example, free availability of genetic data, such as the genome sequences of humans, mice, pathogens and plants, has greatly accelerated the pace of research in both academic and commercial settings.

Please, no more assessments of odds, Vegas casinos already make book. If you want to change the odds now (by casting LOTS to do it), you will have to go through Vegas. London casinos not approved as of today, December 7th, 2005 (written 7th December 2005 for UK historians). Note that archaeologists comprise none of The Fellows wanting Open Access, the RS sacrificing human life for my old brass box full of gold. Brass and wood of box auger cored (twice)."
