	Family Tree Maker's Genealogy Site: User Home Pages: Genealogy Home Page of Oakey Mertz & Mary (Lawther) Mertz
		This includes the families of Jacob Mertz and David Mertz -- said by many to be sons of John Henry Mertz, but I think that conclusion is dead wrong.
		The bible of Joseph W Mertz who was born in Sparta, NY gives the name and birth date of his father Jacob Mertz.
		So few Mertzes lived in Sparta that Jacob has to be kin to John Jacob Mertz (son of Nicholas) who moved to Sparta before 1800 with sons Conrad and David.

	Text Processing in Python (David Mertz) - book review
		Mertz begins with an introduction to functional programming in Python, followed by a tutorial on polymorphism and class construction.
		Mertz warns that parsing is often overkill and suggests that other options be tried first.
		Its approach means there is little overlap with other Python books: even when going through standard libraries, Mertz largely avoids repeating generic material, and there's none of the padding that's used to flesh out many computing books.

	Spam filtering techniques
		In this article, David discusses and compares several broad approaches to the automatic elimination of unwanted e-mail while introducing and testing some popular tools that follow these approaches.
		Unethical e-mail senders bear little or no cost for mass distribution of messages, yet normal e-mail users are forced to spend time and effort purging fraudulent and otherwise unwanted mail from their mailboxes.

		David Mertz: Implementing "weightless threads" with Python generators
		It is possible to extend this scheduler in straightforward ways to allow extremely lightweight threading of multiple processes.
		Much as with Stackless Python microthreads, pseudo-coroutine "weightless threads" require almost none of the context switch and memory overhead of OS -- or even userland -- threads.

	Group Pushes Open-Source E-Voting Software - Software News by InformationWeek
		"Electronic voting machines are almost sure to be a problem" in Tuesday's election, said David Mertz, a member of the team at Open Voting Consortium, which advocates making public the source code of voting devices.
		Mertz said he believes it would be relatively easy, for instance, for a currupt, mid-level machine-company employee to modify source code software to help rig an election.
		Mertz pointed to Nevada's use of machines made by Sequoia Voting Systems as a good system that is capable of producing a paper trail, valuable in recount or machine malfunction situations.

	awaretek.com :: Text Processing in Python
		David Mertz has a unique style and focus that we have become familiar with from his "Charming Python" series of articles on the IBM Developer Network.
		Mertz is more interested in facilitating our learning process than in lecturing us, and rather than fill his pages with impressive examples designed to illustrate his expertise, he gently guides us by offering subtle yet important examples of code and analysis that makes us think for ourselves.
		He has a special talent for programming in the functional style, and this is a great introduction to that style of Python programming.

		David Mertz came to writing about programming via the unlikely route of first being a humanities professor.
		David writes regular columns and articles for IBM developerWorks, Intel Developer Network, O'Reilly ONLamp, and other publications.
		The other, fancier stuff in the later chapters may be handy sometimes, but author David Mertz himself will tell you not to overcomplicate things; if you can do what you need to do using string operations, do so.

	LtU Classic Archives
		While it's obvious that David Mertz understands multimethods, he neglected to emphasize a critical point.
		David Mertz contrasts a hardcoded dispatching code (what he calls "old-fashioned procedural") with OOP dynamic dispatch, saying "OOP merely adds some elegance".
		David Mertz also comments on the ability to add/remove dispatching rules at runtime saying "...makes multiple dispatch using multimethods a bit more dynamic than in a static class hierarchy".

	socialism and democracy
		The white working class was a product of economic (capitalist) property, yet defined by a social property (whiteness) through which it became the producer of the society of (that) property (99).
		The Rule of Racialization falls in the emerging field of "whiteness studies"-of a piece, for example, with the work of Noel Ignatiev,* Theodore Allen, David Roediger, and Matthew Frey Jacobson.
		Perhaps because of this newish focus, there is a somewhat odd silence in the book.

	Open Voting Software System Demonstrated - Technology News by TechWeb
		Spurred on by the electronic ballot snafus of recent elections, the OVC members envision the program running on "trailing edge" machines in polling places across the country.
		"The purpose is to set a number of standards for future voting systems," said David Mertz, the system's architectural advisor.
		The organization, which has volunteers across the U. and from as far away as Sweden, wants to produce voting systems that will do away with problematic existing systems many of which it regards as "fraudulent, proprietary, expensive and unreliable systems." Mertz said such a system -- if adopted nationwide -- would require several million PCs.

	Thiamin Trek Weblog Archives: Notes on Text Processing in Python by David Mertz
		I'm a big fan of the programming language Python, and I've been using it for most of my day-to-day programming for about three years.
		I've been writing scripts to do text processing for almost ten years, working with perl, html, sgml, xml, and now python on many different occasions.
		So I was pleased that I learned a few new techniques and tricks in the opening chapters of David Mertz's book.

		By David Mertz, Ph.D. - As XML document storage formats become popular, especially for prose-oriented documents, the task of locating contents within XML document collections becomes more difficult.

		This column discusses how the tool design addresses indexing to take advantage of the hierarchical node structure of XML.
