Oh Logical Mechanism Memories of the
Annual Review & NIEHS, Tucson SEASONS GREETINGS! GOOD-BYE OH LOGICAL MECHANISM
by E. Marcus Barnes,
P.E. Behold in the title...an obvious
pun, Wallow in the rhyme of perverse
fun. Fearless levity we can well
afford, Come browse the E.M.F.
smorgasbord. Audaciously, some admonish us to
face, It's all a scientific wild-goose
chase. Elusive needles in the E.M.F.
haystack; Where's the right one? Alas,
alack. Any hypothesis with a shred of
support, I'll gladly defend it's day in
court. With such a low ratio of signal
to noise, Have we fine-tuned our scientific
toys? I daydream of robust biological
effects, Sublimely titillating as Tantra
sex. I lust for bio-drama in a petri
dish, Exotic new cell lines to fulfill
my wish. If the I.P.R. model is primed to
work, From what exposure might a danger
lurk? For the right ion ratio of charge
to mass, Cellular responses may strew like
grass. If that's the case, avoid the
condition Of staying too long in one
position. For this hypothesis to take off
and fly, Maybe there's more than meets the
eye. Flirt with the peril of cognitive
dissonance, Muse on the quirk if cyclotron
resonance. Though it's quite in tune with
physical law, I'm ever inclined to hem and
haw. Eflux of ions through a cell
membrane, The effect (I admit) is rather
arcane. If I care less for minute gap
junctions, Why worry and fret over such
dysfunctions? On serum melatonin, here's an
insight: A hormone like the stars, it
comes out at night. If in a spiked field you care to
slumber, Your pineal productivity ebbs in
number. So pull the switch and take that
pill, Let nocturnal melatonin attack at
will. Free radicals are sure to lose
the fight, A combative way to spend the
night! On the matter of gene
transcription, Replication was a point of
contention. If a coveted effect some labs did
muff, What went wrong--a protocol too
tough? Suspect (if you dare) assay
contamination, Entrust your mind to free
association. And if you commence to feel
paranoid, To that I'll say: Thank you, Dr.
Freud. Of all conceivable exposure
parameters, I'm tensely dubious of the one
that matters. Sinewave, sawtooth, squarewave or
spike, Which effects function should I
not like? When iron in the brain so makes
you feel, As if riding upon a "ferrous"
wheel, Magneto receptors must be the
link. Abstain from iron in our food and
drink? For consummate prudent avoidance
fanatics, With a penchant for bizarre
boudoir antics: Jump up, lie down, roll over,
play dead, Unplug your clock before going to
bed. To bask in sleepytime field
exposure, Might oddly enhance one's dream
composure. If your bed be made betwixt
Helmholtz coils, Your nightmare be visited by
beastly gargoyles. On the Wire Code Front, it got a
bit muddy, Look what happened with the
N.C.I. study: If midwestern wire codes have
gone awry, L.A. and Denver give us not a
reason why? Wire codes had
charm...theoretical thunder, But why a risk factor, I'll
forever wonder. It's enough to make one sad and
weary, When pops the balloon of wire
code theory. At year's end Congress stops the
money, In our E.M.F. world, it's not too
funny. To be closed is RAPID's door to
cash, Our research infrastructure doth
have its crash. But as a light switch on a
refrigerator door, That's short-circuited so it
works no more, The bulb within stays lighted
forever, Though the door never opens
again...ever. With Compliments
of: Aerodyne

USA NEW MEETING
PLANS FOR THE YEAR 2000
The June 2000 Annual Scientific Meeting of The
Bioelectromagnetics Society is projected for Munich, Germany. Details are
expected to be essentially finalized in September 1998 following staff's visit
to Munich. The First Australasian Conference on
Bioelectromagnetics will be held at the Convention Centre, Christchurch, New
Zealand, 29 October thru 3 November, 2000. Sponsored by BEMS as our initial
Regional Meeting, endorsement has been approved by IEEE, COMAR, EMBS and SCC28;
by SPRBM, and by the International Commission on Occupational Health. Chair of
this conference is Ivan Beale, Auckland University, and Co-Chairs are David
Black, Enviromedix, and Martin Gledhill, National Radiation Laboratory. The
Program Committee has yet to be organized but will consist of scientists from
New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Korea, and China. Also, at this time program
structure is not set. Negotiations are in process with hotels in three price
categories and with a hostel. More details will be provided as they become
available. Contact: Dr. William Wisecup for further
details. WINTER
BOARD MEETING
The Officer and Board Members of BEMS will be
meeting Saturday, February 13, 1999, in Washington, DC. If you have any items

originally presented at the State of the Science Colloquium in Rome, Italy.
The contributors are leading researchers in the fields of dosimetry and
measurements, biological responses, radiofrequency epidemiology, and
electromagnetic interference with medical devices. They address from multiple
and diverse disciplines the complex nature of the science upon which risk and
risk management decisions must be made. The practical value of these
scientific findings with regard to the protection of public health is
emphasized throughout the volume. Copies may be ordered from the Customer
