Bryan As the editor of the newsletter, let me address the "min/max" issue and the authors can comment on it and the other questions. The small squares you see are visible in the original word document but I believe they are not important. When editing, there are a lot of non-print characters and I think these where thought to be non-print but in fact where not. Regarding the meaning, I believe the function min(a,b) returns the numerically smallest of a and b while max(a,b) ... This means that outcome of the max() in the equation is never less than 0.9.

will the find_alt_origin_sym_mate article in CCN Jan. 2012 be described in any other publications?

1. what is the significance of the factor of 0.9 2. is the MLAD a novel formula
