As it happens these letters are not a very long anagram, but the codekey for the final solution. (That sounds ominous, doesn't it?) The underlined letters were from "The Box" episode where it was believed that those three letters were highlighted in the Credit Dauphine sign. They don't appear to be needed for the solution.
Perhaps many of you are familiar with the little inside game that some
shows have that make references to Star Trek. In particular the use of
the number 47, which is part of what's called the 47 conspiracy in Star
Trek parlance. Since Alias is all about conspiracies, I thought it was
appropriate that they started from the get-go with their use of the number
47 and other little nods to Star Trek. Like Sloane. Sloan is a key figure
in the covert intelligence agency that operates outside the confines of
Star Fleet Intelligence called Section 31. Then another SD6 agent is called
Dixon. As in Dick Dixon who is a holosuite character Jean-Luc Picard plays
(a private detective).
The 47s found so far:
Pilot: Marshall says he would have made his camera hold 47 exposures.
Ep 2: Death date on Milo Ivanov's headstone is 1974 (inverted 47)
Ep 3: Identification number on the photo of the device Sydney stole
is
6867 8795 245 487 8739 (four sevens).
Ep 4: None.
Ep 5: When Sydney is reviewing her father's records that Vaughn
gave to her, there is a page titled Mission Summary Contents that lists
page numbers and code numbers. One of the code numbers is 74774-099.
Ep 6: The gallery owner used a keypad to enter a code to enable his
motion-sensor alarm. The number he entered was 2472.
Ep 7: None. The best I can come up with is that there is no 47 in episodes
4 and 7.
Ep 8: The initials on the screen in the briefing room: G. D. (7 4)
Ep 9: There are four sevens: Room 417 in hospital, 1971, 72 hours and
the address 7 Spring.
Ep 10: Suite 47
Ep 11:
Ep 12:
Ep 13: the code to open the vault was: 927465398107
Ep 14: the passcode Will Tippin entered was 4747
Ep 15: Page 47
Other 47s:
Sydney's birthday is 4-17-74 (another inverted 47)
The URLs from the chatbot were: http://64.39.17.195/temp47
and http://216.247.10.78/russek/
The Circuit Route number on the satellite photo is: 187273847999

The IP on the DayforNight site map is 206.11.47.3 and four of
the station stops are next to each other:

I wrote Rambaldi. Alisha responded "...So what, then?" I
typed <o>. Alisha responded "47". Anyone know what
this
might mean?
And, just for fun, did anyone catch when Mr. Lambert (the jerk senior
CIA agent temporarily assigned to Sydney) accidently called Danny Kenny?
He said something about being sorry Kenny was killed. [Oh, my god,
they killed Kenny!]
Francie's boyfriend Charlie has a nephew named Kenny, which suggests the nephew isn't long for this world.

Ok..I was bored, I downloaded practically every image from ABC's official site. Here are the files/locations that contain jphide hidden files:

1. McCullough was heavily involved with project HAZE as of 11 May 1953. Project HAZE is obviously connected in someway to Sidney's current operation, as this Shepard character seems to have been "programmed" in a manner consistant with the experiments mentioned in the newly discovered memos.
2. McCullough is currently involved in high-level SD-6 operations, as evidenced by his mention in the RUSSEK memo from a few weeks ago (cc: Sloan, McCullough).
3. Given that McCullough's age must be well beyond the standard retirement threshold, and that he is presently included in Sloane-level discussions, I think it's safe to assume that McCullough might just be the highest ranking SD-6 personality that we can presently identify.
The fact that McCullough has turned up in two separate "hidden" files suggests to me that we should keep our eye on him, whoever he is.
(extra info below from the Yahoo Groups)
Lunat61 posted this in response to the above comment in the
AliasGames Group.
Cyan McCullough's address is on one of the memos as:
"The Hotplate"
1481 Marple Rd. #2112
Chicago, IL. 60604
dlbrosch
If anybody noticed, Sidney Gottlieb was the scientist that signed
the memos in which CYAN was referenced.
Sidney Gottlieb worked for the CIA in the 50's (for real)and
among other things was their chief inventor and also the guy in charge
of all the LSD mind control experiments.
siglosx (no relation to me) on the Rambaldi posts claims to be
Dave from
Siegle Photography. Doing a search on Siegle Photography leads
to
photodave.com. Registration information says he's from Hollywood,
which is plausible since the Rambaldi site says he's from Los
Angeles. So
far I haven't seen any steg files there, and the site is not
registered to Eric
Scott. So he may not be part of the game. However, it's odd
that they
would use that person's name and business on the Rambaldi site.
On the
other hand, the site has clunky frames just like the sites so
far on the
game.
An outside link on photodave.com leads to an unrelated website
company.
As another sidenote tidbit, an odd coincidence which may have
nothing
to do at all with the game... ant33 mentions "acquisition" on
EBay which
pulls up quite a few Star Trek results. I randomly clicked on
a non-Star
Trek link
(http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1665298027
)which said to look at tektronix.com for the specs. (No hidden
steg file
on that pic on EBay btw). Later I see a hotmac.com email address
on
the Rambaldi site. I check out the website, which happens to
offer free
email accounts. One of them is a TekMail.com address. Just out
of the
blue I decided to see if Tek.com exists since it would make
a cool email
address, which led me to tektronix.com -the same website I was
looking
at earlier. It's just a coincidence, but kind of an odd one
at that how I
came up with the same website, twice, that has nothing to do
with the
game (although that site had frames too).
Lastly, I first discovered dayfornight the week before the Alias
show
began from the official website. The audio section had streaming
Realplayer files -one which was a dead link and pointed to dayfornight.
Several days later, the links to the audio were fixed.
Altogether it seems that Eric Scott likes to incorporate clunky
frames,
many of which serve no purpose, on all the involved websites
thus far.
Oh and there's a couple of satellite pics(not stegg'ed
http://bobcat.peru.edu/~nanse/sat.htm ) supposedly of Peru I
stumbled
across when looking at thetruewheel last month -messy pages
that don't
seem like they were intended for the game either and appear
to have
been made back in the late 90's. If anything is done for the
game with
that site, I guess we'll see.

ok, i found a web site that has something called "john donne journal" with what appears to be an essay by Sidney Gottlieb, and some really cheezy muzak :P
Sidney Gottlieb. Elegies Upon the Author: Defining, Defending,
and Surviving Donne. 23-38.
check out < http://social.chass.ncsu.edu/jdj/ > volume 2 #2
signalost
>my point was that a Sidney Gottlieb wrote some kind of
essay that was included in a John Donne journal. i thought that
these TWO
key names appearing in the same place was rather odd, especially
since
it was the John Donne 'no man is an island' which led us to
the
Gottlieb document. why did they use John Donne's poem to program
Shepard,
as opposed to 'mary had a little lamb' or something else? i
haven't seen anything which makes this explicit, but i'm
thinking that the CIA Sidney Gottlieb is NOT the same Sidney
Gottlieb
A picture and profile of the MKULTRA Dr. Gottlieb:
http://www.subliminal.org/mugbook/madsci/gottlieb.html
I am also skeptical if they are the same person. It is rather odd if they aren't. As far as why they didn't use "Mary had a little lamb" or other simple phrase, I suppose that they would want something so specific that the odds of accidental trigger would be low.
Also the wizards link on the last post mentions the following paragraphs in regards to the sounds of phrases or "polyphonic code":
(QUOTE)
"Dr. Phillip Morton, a linguistics professor at the University
of Southern California, developed a theory that the works of William Shakespeare
revolved around an accidental discovery on the playwright’s part: the notion
that certain phonic vibrations could produce specific emotions, regardless
of the connotations of the words themselves. Dr. Morton believed Shakespeare
had used his discovery to elicit laughter, sadness, regret -- whatever
would make his audiences beg for more. Morton also theorized that Shakespeare’s
"psychophonic code" could likewise erase a people’s memory of having seen
a show. They would pay the price of entry, have a wonderful time, then
forget they were ever there -- and come back to see it again.
Obviously, this was of great interest to Dr. Sidney Gottlieb, the CalTech genius in charge of MK-ULTRA. Gottlieb "appropriated" Morton’s work, and after Dr. Morton had taken the research as far as he could, the CIA arranged for him to take an extended leave, "for health reasons." In his absence, Gottlieb turned Morton’s notes over to his assistants, re-naming the program "Project Dandelion." Their research turned up an astounding range of applications, with two drawbacks. First, subjects had to be "prepared" for psychophonic receptiveness with a series of coded suggestions, making it useless for short-term applications.
Second, speaking the phrases that the CIA experts developed had
the same effect on the speaker as the listener, meaning you could command
someone to laugh, cry, or obey without question -- but you would do the
same. At the very least, it made learning the psychophonic phrases a nearly
impossible task. "
