The Ali, Brunk & Pazzani paper is also available from:
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~pazzani/Publications/APubs.html#1994
in postscript and PDF. Hopefully, one of them will work.

the Friedman, Kohavi and Yun paper is available from
http://robotics.stanford.edu/~ronnyk/lazyDT.ps

In general if there are problems with a link, it might be useful to
get the same paper from another location (by checking the homepages
of the different users).

> For Week #5, Geman article has no link.

Check Killam for: Neural Computation, 4, 1-58.
