More Football Basics
The 3-4 defense is a basic defensive formation that is used by several NFL teams. Bud Wilkenson devised the alignment at the University of Oklahoma in the late 1940s. The alignment features three down lineman and four linebackers in the front seven, thus the name 3-4.
If you take a look at the illustration on the right, you will see a diagram outlining the 3-4 defense. The Os in the diagram represent offensive players while the Xs represent the placement of the defensive players.
Notice the lowest row of Xs on the line of scrimmage (imaginary line seperating the offense and defense). You have two defensive ends (DE), one on each end of the line, and one nose tackle (NT) in between. Right behind the defensive line are four linebackers (LB). At times, one or more of the linebackers will line up on the line of scrimmage as is shown in the diagram.
Two cornerbacks (CB), one on each side of the field, line up to cover the wide receivers. There are also two safeties. The exact positioning of the defensive backs (cornerbacks and safeties) depends on the type of pass coverage they are in.

Side Effect
is when a computer function causes a non-local change to something other than its inputs and declared output. A benign example would be, say, logging. But according to the proponents of
, because side effects are not explicit, they lead to many bugs; for instance, we all know how fragile are programs that rely on particular sequences of function calls to manipulate state.
, though, embraces the possibility of side effects that "crosscut" system concerns (again, logging may be a good example).
One example of this is noted in the
( pg.63 original edition, pg.65 anniversary edition).
called one type "curios" -- side effects of supposedly invalid operations. They ended up considering them as part of the definition when emulating that system.
There is some pressure to use the more apt terminology 'IntentionalEffect
' or ProgrammingEffect
to describe results intended by the programmer (such as logging or maintenance of data state). The meaning of '
' is then limited to effects that are unintentional and undesirable. This would better match the term's use in the general public (e.g. with regards to drugs).
Heavy usage of databases could be considered relying on side-effects. This is because databases tend to model real-world nouns one-to-one. If you change the attribute for a person's weight, you are updating the one-to-one model to reflect the person's "state". This is a very effective technique and seems to end up being emulated to some extent in most non-trivial applications (see
). Even FP will violate side-effect purity at certain points in practice to serve this idea. It is hard to model the real world if everything is always local. --top
Yes, database tables are side effects galore. They are like variables which store different states. This is why they came up with the term
since a database table is really like variable that changes over time. FP will violate side effect purity through
s. I've always found the whole functional dogma to be extremely strange... because the whole point of using computers is to have all sorts of side effects. If Functional programmers could get their shit together and actually market functional programming to mean something useful, more people would try it out. Telling people that state is bad and that side effects are bad, is like telling a person riding a bicycle to stop peddling because peddling causes you to actually go places and do things.. it's the WRONG way to market a product - a bike is supposed to get you places, so you should peddle it. A computer is for storing data, modifying data, retrieving data, writing data - it's full of
side effects. FP purity envy is worse than
Spyware and things that can get installed while surfing the internet in an insecure browser are a Side Effect. Limiting or making side effects transparent to the user should help solve a number of security issues.
Example: This program wishes to install components X, Y, and Z that will run every time you start your computer, do you wish to allow this?
Example2: This program wishes to email the contents of "bookmarks.html" to firstname.lastname@example.com, do you wish to allow this?
Example3: This program wishes to perform (this perfectly legitimate operation), do you wish to allow this?
Problem: Frequency of legitimate operations >> Frequency of illegitimate operations, making for a difficult problem; e.g. even if 99.9% of all ops were classified correctly, and 0.01% of all ops are illegitimate, one would be queried for about 10x as many false positives as real positives. This will cause great frustration (akin to
) and ingrain in many users the habit of allowing operations without reading them (as has been observed in the field).
What if we were to allow some form of "run this carefully"? kinda option to try things out?
You mean to audit software? That can help, though it still will encounter the same problems seen here. Also, you'll need to be sure that the spyware can't detect the mode and "play nice while the cops are watching". Some of these problems are handled in the
, in any case - the typical behavior in such cases is to simply reject ALL operations for which capabilities don't exist, but with an
mechanism, one could call back to the user or appropriate user-agent when permissions are required in order to tweak security policy at runtime.

Pittsburgh at Frankfurt's Alte Oper
You could buy a T-shirt for 10 euros and receive an apple, various product samples and newsletters. A drumming ensemble entertained onstage, grilled sausages of many kinds were for sale, and cups of "alkoholfrei" beer were available for free. The Alte Oper, completely destroyed during WWII, was reconstructed in 1968. In the hallways, photographs of the construction and famous musical visitors Placido Domingo and Herbert von Karajan are on display. Karajan consulted on the acoustics. It's a vast hall with over 3,000 seats.BNY Mellon sponsored the concerts and hosted receptions before and after on the Terasse behind the Oper restaurant. It's said to be the most beautiful terrace in Frankfurt, with statuary and elegant outdoor tables with umbrellas, but the pouring rain kept everyone indoors. The mood was high as Anne-Sophie Mutter and Manfred Honeck greeted everyone and received a special welcome from Thomas Brand, the Chief of BNY Mellon in Germany. Herr Brand had been with the orchestra in Berlin and he's helped host events for the orchestra on previous tours. He seems to genuinely love the orchestra. If I had a pension plan or a few million dollars to invest, I'd give him my business. Noah Bendix-Balgley and his stand partner Mark Huggins were there with Andrew Wickesberg, Tatjana Mead Chamis and other members of the orchestra. Elegant pastry was served with a unique piece of silverware that provided a spoon on one end and a fork on the other. The Consul General of the US Consulate in Frankfurt, Kevin Milas, was gracious. He gave the group the unhappy news that the Steelers had lost their season opener, but that the city of Pittsburgh could be proud of the reaction in Frankfurt to its orchestra's concert of Janacek, Ravel's Bolero and Rapsodie Espagnol with Anne-Sophie playing Dvorak's Violin Concerto and a Bach Sarabande encore. Faure's Pavane and Wagner's Lohengrin Prelude to Act III encores closed out the night.
The giant Frankfurt Motor Show meant that hotel rooms were at a premium, so we stayed at the airport Steigenberger Hotel where there was a new-model Mercedes in the lobby. Frankfurt hosts the world's largest car show, where the buzz is on new technology and electric cars rather than on muscle cars with more horsepower.After the concert, Manfred Honeck introduced me to Thomas Ille – his collaborator in arranging the Suite from the opera Jenufa by Leos Janacek. Ille said they had made a few small cuts in the score during the brief 30-minute acoustic rehearsal to tighten it up a bit before its world premiere in Frankfurt.
Manfred Honeck's manager, Lothar Shacke, was backstage. He said his firm has recently taken on Jukka-Pekka Saraste and enjoys working with Herbert Blomstedt. Manfred Honeck and Lothar seem to have a terrific working relationship. Maestro Honeck introduces him as, "My best friend." Composer and arranger Thomas Ille clearly enjoys the work he is doing with the Pittsburgh Symphony. He apologized for his English but spoke very well. His home is in Prague, where Janacek's folk influences and dance music are felt clearly. Manfred Honeck has Czech grandparents. We spoke at the Oper Restaurant, which featured a large painting of John F. and Robert Kennedy above the wine bottles.I spoke with Anna Maria Honeck after the concert. I hope you have a chance to meet any of the Honeck children. They have a charm that I've written of several times, but each time I experience it I'm impressed further. Theirs is a natural warmth and deep thoughtfulness plus good cheer. It's every parent's dream to have children like this. The Honeck kids never show any signs of fatigue, and have the conversational skills of Miss Manners. Speaking to Manfred Honeck's daughter, the composer Thomas, his driver, manager and personal assistant there is a clear common denominator. Manfred Honeck surrounds himself with people who have smarts, musical depth, humor, kindness and warmth. Can you hear this in his music making? I think so. Waking up to rain on Monday, we saw the sky soon brighten for the four-hour bus trip to Lucerne. There was a cheerful atmosphere on Bus 3 with lots of laughter. The Seeway rest stop was amazing for the depth of choices in Ritter Sport chocolate bars, coffee bar, wine and beer, energy drinks, extensive newspapers and magazines, outdoor and indoor dining area, beer steins, pay-by-weight salad bar, bratwurst and other German Klassiks, and much more. The washroom was 70 euro cents, with turnstiles to admit you once you've paid the correct amount.
Our route went south past Karlsruhe and Mannheim then into Switzerland by way of Basel to Lucerne.


text: The 20 Most Memorable Penguin Goals of the Decade: Part One Posted by Rick on Dec 29, 2009 00:23 ShareTweet As we all know, this has been an up-and-down decade for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Things looked okay at the beginning. We saw a line-up that boasted Jaromir Jagr, Alexei Kovalev, Martin Straka and Mario Lemieux reach the 2001 Eastern Conference Final. And things turned out pretty well in the end. In 2009 we watched Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal and Marc-Andre Fleury raise the Stanley Cup. In between we experienced a painful fall to the bottom of the standings and a dramatic rise back up them. To end the decade, we've put together a list of the 20 most memorable Penguin goals of the decade. They're not necessarily the best goals or the most important goals. These are 20 goals that you will remember when you sit back and think of the 2000s. Chances are there is at least one goal here that you will be telling your grandchildren about. In fact, these are the kinds of goals that the players themselves may be telling their grandchildren about. The 2000s were a shaky decade for the Pens, but adversity and drama creates memories. Here we go! 20. Bill Guerin: Just In Time The most recent goal on this list. Guerin takes a pass from Malkin and scores when it looked like the game was over. The Penguins would go on to win in overtime. What a player. 19. Jarko Ruutu: Thanksgiving Shootout Winner Some called it the turning point of the 2007-2008 season. The struggling Pens walked into Ottawa and defeated the reigning Eastern Conference Champions in a shootout. 18. Alexsey Morozov: Penguin Pride It was a terrible season and the goal was nothing special, but when Alexsey Morozov held up the Penguin logo on his chest after scoring the game winner, it was quite the moment. 17. Gary Roberts: Senator Killer A signature Gary Roberts performance. He owned that game and this goal set the tone for the Penguins playoff run in 2008. 16. Sidney Crosby: Nicklas Backstrom We're not sure what was sweeter: Watching the Caps fall to the ice after the goal was scored, listening to all the Pens fans in Washington cheer, realizing that it was Backstrom who put the puck in the Washington net or hearing Sidney Crosby laugh about the whole thing. 15. Ryan Malone: An Impossible Play Ovechkin scores this goal and it's on highlight reels for 20 years. 14. Sidney Crosby: Sliding and Scoring A great feed from Recchi. A great deflection by Crosby. A great goal that demonstrated once again how Sidney Crosby doesn't quit. 13. Sidney Crosby: Game Winner in Ottawa Another great feed from Recchi. The only game the Penguins win that playoff, but the first playoff victory in years. 12. Mario Lemieux: Off the Faceoff A great goal that had the added bonus of costing Mark Madden some cash. Madden said earlier that day that he would donate $6,600 to the Mario Lemieux Foundation if Mario ever scored off the faceoff. Mario accepted the challenge. 11. Evgeni Malkin: Shades of Mario Marty Brodeur may have set the shutout record against the Pens, but Malkin made the Devils look silly during his rookie year. 10. Ric Jackman: Finally A Win! Thanks to J.J. for the upload! The Penguins snapped an 18-game winless streak against the Coyotes in overtime. In a terrible season, this was our Stanley Cup. Story [here] from the Coyotes website. 9. Ruslan Fedotenko: Overtime Winner in Detroit It showed the Penguins were not afraid. It showed the Penguins could compete with the Red Wings. On a night that featured "the artistry continues" and Osgood's performance being called "splendid" the Doc Emerick quote of the night ended up being "Stunned is Osgood! Stunned is Babcock!" 8. Darius Kasparaitis: Unlikely Hero Eliminating the Sabres in game seven overtime. What a celebration. 7. Tyler Kennedy: Tic-Tac-Toe "OSSSSSSSSS-GOOOOOOD!" The game that changed the script. It's tough to find a prettier passing play. 6. Evgeni Malkin: "A whirling, sapient, no look, backhand, elevated ender" "Spectacular!" "World Class!" "Oh My Word!" Malkin's hat trick goal against the Canes is best described by shock and awe. We'll have the top five in part two. Go Pens. ShareTweetPenguins Tickets About Rick View all posts by Rick →

BofA cuts foretell a downturn in branch banking
Sep 15, 2011, 3:36 p.m.
Bank of America is moving to a single deposit system, Moynihan told the conference. He also said that Bank of America's second wave of expense reduction efforts in other businesses may be smaller.
Rationalizing acquisitions is one source of cost cuts, but technology is important too. Automated teller machines have been accepting deposits for decades, but customers were long hesitant to use them for anything but withdrawing cash and checking balances.
Older ATMs require customers to put their checks and cash in envelopes, which remain in the machine until bank employees collect them and process them by hand. It is safe, but for many customers it feels like putting a message in a bottle.
For most banks, the check processing happens off site, meaning an armored truck has to pick up the deposits and take them to another location.
Scanning ATMs allow an image of a check to be sent to a processing center, which can now be much farther away from the bank. The ATMs often recognize the dollar amounts mentioned on the check, allowing money to be posted to an account faster. Cash deposits can be posted immediately to the customer's account. Customers can make payments for credit cards, home equity and personal loans linked to their accounts on Bank of America's new ATMs.
"Our customers don't want to wait. There's this expectation they can come in and get out quickly," said Shelley Waite, the bank's ATM channel executive, in an interview with Reuters
The popularity of the spiffed-up machines is clear: just a quarter of the bank's customers used to deposit money through ATMs while today half do -- and the percentage is growing, Waite said.
That translates into real savings. Check deposits at a scanning ATM cost the bank about 59 cents per transaction, compared with about $1.48 for teller deposits and about $1.82 for conventional ATMs, according to research firm Tower Group.
Or look at it this way: a scanning ATM can cost $45,000 and last five years for an annual cost of around $9,000. A teller typically costs around $30,000 a year, including benefits, said Darryl Demos, a managing director at consulting firm Novantas.
A branch has about seven employees on average, three or four of which would be tellers. With scanning ATMs it can likely reduce that staffing by one or two tellers, said Demos.
Scanning ATMs also allow banks to reduce their deposit processing staff.
And longer term, banks may be able to take tellers out of branches entirely, and have them work with customers remotely through video conferencing technology. Citigroup and other banks are experimenting with that kind of technology now.
Bank of America has taken other steps to reduce its branch personnel costs, including moving clients with low balances into accounts that charge a fee for using a teller.
Not every bank and every branch will use scanning ATMs to slim down staff levels. Some will replace tellers with investment advisors, mortgage lenders, or other product specialists. And some banks that pride themselves on personal service will still keep large numbers of staffers.
But new ATMs and narrowing bank profits should result in more branch reductions, and more staffing cuts for branches that stay open, experts say.
Bank of America, which boasted a record 6,100 branches in 2008, today has 5,700 and plans to close around 10 percent of its branches in the coming years.
"I've been helping banks with branches for decades," Novantas' Demos said. "There's never been the sense of urgency that there is now to get it right."

New project to protect megalithic sites
By K R Ranjith | ENS - KANNUR
Published: 12th August 2013 11:50 AM
Last Updated: 12th August 2013 11:50 AM
The State Archaeology Department will soon launch a mega project to identify and explore megalithic monuments lying scattered across the state. The initiative is a run-up to a mission to identify and protect megalithic sites and artifacts of historical importance that go unnoticed and unprotected on private lands.
"We are planning a statewide exploration to identify megalithic sites. To begin with, we will organise a national seminar in coordination with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI)," said Dr Premkumar, director of the Archaeological Department.
Experts and researchers will conduct the statewide exploration to identify the sites. The initiative comes in the backdrop of the limitations the department faces to protect monuments in areas under private ownership. "Numerous megalithic monuments like rock-cut caves, muniyaras, Jain pillars and umbrella rocks are laying unidentified and unprotected in different parts of the state," said Dr Premkumar.
"A survey on archaeological remains in two panchayats in Idukki district has already been completed. Many interesting findings have emerged out of the study and we will publish a record of the sites and findings soon. Similar surveys would be conducted in all districts and each district will have a book on the sites of archaeological importance, especially megalithic sites," he added. "I have also submitted a proposal with detailed plan to buy and protect megalithic sites that fall under private ownership."
A detailed study was also planned to understand the archaeological history of Madayippara in Kannur. Madayippara and its surroundings are dotted with sites and artifacts of immense historic importance. The exploration will study the archaeological importance Joothakkulam, Darikan Kotta, Kelu's fort, sites that relate to ancient King Valabhan, Palayam ground which is connected with the march of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan and the Sultan canal, the director explained.
"A rock-cut cave was found on a private land near the Jagannath Temple in Thalassery recently. Another site was found in Kozhikode," Dr Premkumar said. An archaeologist had visited the site near the Jagannath Temple to assess the period.

A majority of U.S. Supreme Court justices on Monday appeared skeptical of Florida's hard IQ cutoff for determining who cannot be executed because of an intellectual disability.
With the rest of the federal government shuttered because of a snowstorm, the high court heard arguments in Hall v. Florida, in which Freddie Lee Hall claims that the state's rule that mental disability is proved by an IQ of 70 or below violates the Eighth Amendment ban against execution of the intellectually disabled.
The high court arguments came 12 years after the justices' ruling in Atkins v. Virginia, which held that execution of mentally retarded persons violated the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment in the Eighth Amendment.
In Atkins, the justices suggested that "clinical definitions of mental retardation require not only subaverage intellectual functioning, but also significant limitations in adaptive skills such as communication, self-care, and self-direction that became manifest before age 18."
Although Florida law generally tracks those three elements, the Florida Supreme Court has ruled that if the person's IQ is above 70, there is no consideration of the remaining two elements: adaptive skills and onset of intellectually disability before age 18. In considering the IQ score, there also is no consideration of the standard error of measurement adopted by most clinicians because of the inherent imprecision in IQ tests.
"The only real question presented in this case is just this: If a state conditions the opportunity to demonstrate mental retardation on obtained IQ test scores, it cannot ignore the measurement error that is inherent in those scores," Hall's counsel, Seth Waxman of Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering Hale and Dorr, argued. "That is a feature, a statistical feature of the test instrument itself."
Hall was sentenced to death for the 1978 abduction, rape and murder of a 21-year-old woman who was seven months pregnant. Although state trial courts found he had been "mentally retarded his entire life," when he pressed his Atkins claim in 2009 he scored above 70 on a number of intelligence tests. The standard error of measurement of plus or minus five points would make him ineligible for the death penalty.
Justice Antonin Scalia told Waxman that the court in Atkins looked to how the states defined mental retardation—and many, he added, had adopted 70 as the criterion.
"I mean, the criterion is what do the American people think is the level of mental retardation that should make it impossible to impose the death penalty," Scalia said. "We didn't look for the answer to that question to the APA [American Psychiatric Association] or any of the other medical associations. We looked to what the states did."
Justice Anthony Kennedy asked whether the court should defer any more or less to psychologists and psychiatrists than to economists in examining the necessity of the standard error of measurement.
"Oh, I think it has to be much, much more because, as this court pointed out, this is a clinical condition," Waxman said. "It's a condition that can only be appropriately diagnosed by professionals."
But, Scalia interjected, "They changed their mind, counsel. This APA is the same organization that once said that homosexuality was a mental disability and now says it's perfectly normal. They change their minds."
Florida Solicitor General Allen Winsor argued that the very fact that the medical criteria continue to change counsels against constitutionalizing the standard error of measurement in this area.
Winsor faced his toughest questioning from the court's more liberal justices. For example, Justice Stephen Breyer asked "what's so terrible" about allowing a defendant to bring in an expert to testify that the 70 number is subject to error. And Justice Elena Kagan suggested the 70 cutoff was inconsistent with Supreme Court case law insisting on individualized consideration in imposing the death penalty.
"We allow people to make their best case about why they're not eligible for the death penalty," Kagan said. "And essentially what your cutoff does is, it stops that in its tracks, as to a person who may or may not even have a true IQ of over 70, let alone it stops people in their tracks who may be mentally retarded."
Adopting Hall's rule, Winsor said, "would double the number of people who are eligible for the exemption. And that's inconsistent with Florida's purposes of the death penalty."
Winsor told the court that eight states had adopted a hard cutoff of 70 or two standard deviations: Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Virginia and Maryland, which has since repealed the death penalty.

What an up and down day yesterday. I took some lumps and found myself on the wrong end of a lot of bad finishes. Either teams would fail to score at the end to give me the backdoor cover, or teams I needed shut down and allowed the backdoor to blow the cover. It was one of "those days" bettors dread, but I managed to go an even .500, so I only lost the vig going a frustrating 18-18.
Dec. 4th-9th / 87-53-3Dec. 10th-16th / 30-28-1Dec. 17th / 7-4Dec. 18th / 9-5Dec. 19th / 17-11 Dec. 20th / 7-3 Dec. 21st / 5-7 (Worst day to date - Thanks Utes)
Dec. 22nd / 18-18
Here's today's picks after running the numbers through the system:
New Hampshire +5.5, Akron -12.5, Ball St. -9.5, and the almost 100% lock, St. Mary's -2
Yeah I know, the almost 100% lock took a complete nose dive yesterday as I went 0-3. It was just that kind of day yesterday, I can't explain it. All 3 were covering nicely, and all 3 fell apart in the second half. Oh, well.....
Good luck to all!!!
Yesterday was a first for the system, the first time I finished the day more than one under; I was 2 games under thanks to that P.O.S. Utah Utes blowing a 21 point halftime lead to lose outright. I finished the day 5-7 and was sick to my stomach watching them slowly blow that game. I knew it wasn't going to be as good as the previous days, but yesterday kept going against me in four other games that could have/should have covered for me. I guess it's just the nature of the beast.
I've gone through the numbers today and found 3 of my famous ALMOST 100% locks (14 of 15), those games are:
Air Force -10, SE Mo. St. -3.5, Oakland -2.5
As for the rest of the games the system put out for me, they are as follows: No. Carolina -22, Dayton -3, Tenn. Tech +22, Iowa -23, Georgia -3, UMass -5, Holy Cross +9.5, Butler -10.5, Marquette -10, Ga. St. +6, St. Joe's -10, Michigan St. -10, South Dakota St. +15, Ill. St. -24, NC St. -11.5, South Alabama -6, E. Illinois +17.5, Loyola Marymount +12.5, Cincinnati -18, Georgia Tech -23, Marshall +19.5, Columbia -4, E. Washington -7.5, Minnesota -30, No. Illinois +18, Green Bay -13.5, Duquesne +3, Davidson -1.5, Ark. PB +18, New Mexico St. -17, UNLV -13.5, Portland St. +7, UCLA -15
In case you're wondering, yes I do put down money on all games I've listed on covers as long as my sportsbook puts out the line. Sometimes I don't play if the line isn't right, but if it's there I put my money where my mouth is and so far it's made me money. It's still a work in progress, and on Christmas day I'll have time to go through my data to see what types of games are producing the most profit, and hopefully narrow down future picks accordingly. Good luck whichever way you go today, and win some cash!

It was another great night for the system, going 7-3. I was actually 10-3 if you count the college bowl game total and side and a late bet on Tulane, but this is strictly for college hoops and I didn't record the Tulane BB game here on Covers so it wouldn't be fair to claim it. This brings this week's record to 40-23 (63.5%)!!!

Dec. 20th / 7-3
The ALMOST 100% bet of the day came in easily with Weber St. rolling over E. Washington. I didn't find any game today that fit the criteria, so after crunching the numbers this is what I came up with for today: Southern Utah +19.5, Delaware -10.5, Western Carolina +13.5, Fordham +15.5, Florida Atlantic +32.5, South Florida -10.5, North Dakota St. -14, North Dakota -2, Colorado -18.5, Baylor -7, Utah -8, Santa Clara -21.
Looking at the numbers I don't seem to like a lot of what the system has picked out today, but who am I to argue with what's been working. I also have a couple of leans on other plays like Northwestern and Wyoming, but there's a few discrepancies within the numbers that are keeping me from pulling the trigger. If the line moves a little I may go ahead and post it on here. As always, feel free to drop a comment or add anything you may see to help out. Good luck to all, let's get that money!
Another good day thanks to the system, yesterday yielded a 17-11 day to finish over 60% for the third straight day, and give us a 33-20 (60.6%) record this week. The games I've been finding in the system that was hitting 100% finally took a loss yesterday. I had posted four games yesterday that fit the criteria, but North Carolina found a way to wreck it. I post those games on My Space in the blogs, so you can always check them out. I did place all 4 on a round robin, so I did make $68 on that ticket. I know I post a lot of games on here, but the end results have been fairly positive. I've had 4 days where I haven't finished above .500, and all 5 days were only one game under. The other 12 days have made a profit for me, with a combined record of 132-79-4 (59.8%).
Dec. 4th-9th / 87-53-3Dec. 10th-16th / 30-28-1Dec. 17th / 7-4Dec. 18th / 9-5Dec. 19th / 17-11
I'm still researching my winners and losers trying to find an angle or similarities inside the numbers to get a bigger edge on the books. I've done the numbers for Thursday's games, and I found one game that fits into the category of ALMOST 100% winners (thanks North Carolina), so my big play for tonight is Weber St. -6.5
Here are the other games I've worked on for tonight: LaSalle -5.5, UAB -20.5, Valparaiso -18, Michigan -24.5, Idaho +12.5, Washington -10, Utah St. -18, Portland St. -8, USC -9
I haven't seen a line on Duke/Elon or Pepperdine/Tulane yet, so if it comes out I may take those games and post it on here later. As always, I state this system is a work in progress but it's definitely progressing. Today may be a big test, because the numbers looked a little strange, but I'm not about to start going against what's been working. Please feel free to comment or add anything I may be missing, and good luck to everyone!
Good night last night. I think the system is starting to work a little better. I found a few issues that I took a deeper look at to help eliminate some questionable games. Last night I posted that Western Kentucky was missing their 2 top scorers, and I had picked them to cover the number. Upon learning this I doubled the bet on VCU and covered, so I actually went 10-4, but being Covers doesn't let you change your pick, I'll stick to the original record posted here of 9-5 last night. I've posted about games that have been hitting almost 100% of the time. I had four last Saturday, and they all hit. I've found four more today, hopefully it stays true. These are my favorite picks today: New Mexico -4, North Carolina -5, Montana -2.5, Murray St. -2.5, last Saturday I threw all 4 on a round robin and hit, going to do the same today. Here's the other picks the system turned out today: South Carolina -9, Dayton -5, Duquesne -4.5, St. Bonaventure -20.5, Canisius +9.5, NC Wilm. -2.5, Cornell +29, Indiana -32.5, Louisville -27, UMass -1, E. Ill. +20.5, Oregon -4.5, Wright St. -7, Belmont -8.5, Tex. Arlington +14.5, Tenn. Martin -2, Tulsa +21, UMKC +16, West Virginia -11, Iowa -26, UNLV -9.5, Seattle -3.5, St. Mary's -12.5, Sac. St. -6.5.As always, feel free to comment or add anything. This week is off to a good start, hopefully it continues today.Dec. 4th-9th / 87-53-3Dec. 10th-16th / 30-28-1Dec. 17th / 7-4Dec. 18th / 9-5

Dennis Sievers/Peoria Rivermen
The Peoria Rivermen collected goals from five different skaters on Saturday and defeated the Fayetteville FireAntz, 5-3, in front of 5,710 fans at Carver Arena. The victory marked Peoria's third straight against the FireAntz this season and extended its winning streak at home to six games.
Overall, Peoria improves to 22-14-4 this season (48 points) and remains fifth in the SPHL standings. In addition, the Rivermen now have points in eight of their last nine games and are 7-1-1 during that span.
Former Fayetteville winger Aaron McGill opened the scoring at 10:18 of the first period when Dean Yakura grabbed the puck to the side of the FireAntz' net and played it in front. The puck slide across the blue paint to the far side where McGill sent a one-timer past Peter Skoggard for his third of the year.
The FireAntz responded at 6:09 of the middle frame when John Clewlow walked in from the blue line on an uncontested break and beat Eric Levine glove side on the backhand. Nick Craven and Matt Ridley were credited with the assists.
Adam Hartley put Peoria back on top at 11:52 of the second when he played a shot to the doorstep that rattled off traffic and found the back of the net for his fourth of the year. Kory Helowka recorded the only assist on the goal.
Less than three minutes later, Parker Stanfield made it 3-1 on the power play with his seventh goal of the year. Following a holding minor to Craven, Tyler Amburgey gained possession and pulled up at the blue line before sending a pass ahead to Stanfield who beat Skoggard glove side at the 14:03 mark. Amburgey and Cole Ruwe each notched an assist. In addition, Stanfield now has at least one point in each of his last five games.
Fayetteville answered again at 15:54 of the second and cut the deficit to one on the power play. Following a holding minor to Ruwe, Derek Elliott circled to the top of the point and ripped a shot that Tommy Lange redirected from the doorstep. Elliott was credited with the only assist.
Taylor Larsen made it 4-2 at 9:27 of the third when he grabbed a Garrett Vermeersch pass at the blue line, walked in on a breakaway and went five-hole for his 13th of the year. Larsen also now has a goal in five straight games at home.
The FireAntz bounced back at 16:48 of the third and made it 4-3 during a 5-on-3 power play. Following a tripping minor to Ruwe and a slashing minor to Hartley 40 seconds later, Bobby Reed sent a pass across to Zach Carriveau, who scored on a slap shot from the top of the slot for his fourth of the year. Reed and Brandon Richardson collected the assists.
The Rivermen sealed the game at 18:15 of the third when Fayetteville pulled Skoggard and Matt Viola notched an empty netter for the 5-3 final.
Levine (11-8-4) earned the win between the pipes after he stopped 26 shots. Skoggard (9-12-3) suffered the loss after he denied 23 shots.
Peoria finished the game 1-for-4 on the power play and 4-for-6 on the penalty kill. It was the first time the Rivermen have allowed at least two power play goals against since Dec. 28 at Huntsville – a span of 19 games.
The Rivermen conclude a three-game weekend series on Sunday with a 3:15 p.m. puck drop against the Mississippi RiverKings at Carver Arena. Sunday is "Fun on the Run Family Day" featuring $1 upper bowl tickets for kids 12 and under, as well as $3 kid's meals, which include a hot dog, chips and a drink. Plus, there will be giant inflatables, face painting and balloons by The Unique Twist beginning at 1:30 p.m. in the Great Hall. Finally, all fans are invited to join a post-game skate with the entire team on the Carver Arena ice. The game can be heard locally on CD Country 107.9 FM or online here. Fans can also follow along via the live video and audio stream at www.americaonesports.com.

How To: Make Marshmallows
Homemade marshmallows are a fun do-it-yourself treat. Learn how to create and customize these soft, fluffy delights.
I love homemade marshmallows. They have a really soft texture, and you can customize the flavor or color. They do take a little bit of extra time to make, but trust me it's worth it. We'll line a 13x9 baking pan with plastic wrap. Coat the pan with nonstick spray. Let's soften our gelatin by sprinkling it over cold water in a large metal or heatproof bowl. Now we'll combine some more water, sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan. When the sugar mixture starts to boil, clip a candy thermometer on the pan. If you don't have one of these, you can buy one at most large supermarkets. So at this point, don't stir your mixture anymore. When the mixture reaches 260 degrees, which candy-makers call the hard-ball stage, remove the pan from the heat. We'll pour the hot sugar over the gelatin in the bowl. Be really careful when you do this, since the sugar is very hot. The other key ingredient besides sugar and gelatin in marshmallows is egg white. So let's add our egg whites, vanilla, and salt to a mixing bowl. We're going to beat on high speed and then gradually add some sugar one spoonful at a time, just like you're making a meringue. When the egg whites reach stiff peaks you're going to gradually add the gelatin mixture with the beaters still running on high. Now add vanilla. If you want to flavor the marshmallows with another extract, now's the time. Today I'm going to use peppermint. After about 5 minutes, the mixture will look like thick pourable cake batter. Quickly pour the mixture it into a pan. We're going to spread the mixture gently to the edges. Since these are peppermint marshmallows, I'm going to drip a little red food coloring on top and gently swirl it with a knife. Spray another sheet of plastic wrap with nonstick spray and lay it over the marshmallow, coated side down. Now pop it in the fridge for 5 hours to firm up. Combine some powered sugar and cornstarch in a bowl. Sprinkle some all over a cutting board. Peel the plastic off the marshmallows. Invert the marshmallow on the board and peel off the other sheet of plastic. Now we'll sprinkle more sugar all over the top. I'm going to cut this giant marshmallow into squares using a sharp knife. To give the marshmallows a final dusting, we'll put them in a bag with the rest of the powdered sugar and give them a good shake. And that's it! We made marshmallows!

Zack's Kernel News
Zack's Kernel News
The Linux kernel mailing list comprises the core of Linux development activities. Traffic volumes are immense, often reaching ten thousand messages in a given week, and keeping up to date with the entire scope of development is a virtually impossible task for one person. One of the few brave souls to take on this task is Zack Brown.
Our regular monthly column keeps you abreast of the latest discussions and decisions, selected and summarized by Zack. Zack has been publishing a weekly online digest, the Kernel Traffic newsletter, for over five years now. Even reading Kernel Traffic alone can be a time-consuming task.
Linux Magazine now provides you with the quintessence of Linux kernel activities, straight from the horse's mouth.
m68k Revitalized Under git
Geert Uytterhoeven announced a new git repository for the m68k Linux port, replacing a defunct CVS repository. He also posted a patch to add a make install compilation target for the m68k build and posted several other m68k updates as well.
MSI HOWTO Rewrite
Matthew Wilcox has rewritten the MSI HOWTO, the first major rewrite since 2004. MSI (or Message Signaled Interrupts) provide PCI devices with an alternative to traditional interrupts that require the existence of a hardware pin on the device. MSI lets the device trigger an interrupt simply by writing data to a specific memory address. Randy Dunlap and Sitsofe Wheeler offered some feedback on the prose, and Matthew updated the doc because of it. Grant Gundler and Michael Ellerman had more technical feedback, which they discussed with Matthew. Ultimately it looks as though this is a welcome rewrite, with all in favor.
Controlling Tracepoints
Steven Rostedt has posted a patch to ftrace, providing a simple interface for users to enable and disable any tracepoint that already exists in the kernel. The new /debug/tracing/available_events file lists all tracepoints available for tracking, whereas the /debug/tracing/set_event can be modified to list the events you want to enable or disable.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. And since the Aventine Keyhole is where the locals bring their friends to marvel over the splendor of Rome, you should not miss out. It's just a little bit off the beaten tourist track although you might still find yourself having to wait patiently while others take their turn to look through the ornate keyhole at the splendid vista of St Peter's Basilica floating at the end of an avenue of carefully trimmed trees. It might not sound that exciting but what is special about it is the sense of artistic vision which went into creating this perfect sightline, and which really is the drive behind the aesthetic splendor of the Rome we go to admire.
The keyhole is in the locked gates of the Church of Our Lady of the Priory (Santa Maria del Priorato), which is the church of the Knights of Malta on the Aventine Hill. The Knights of Malta – who actually have nothing to do with the country of Malta – is a Roman Catholic lay religious order; it's the world's oldest surviving order of chivalrous knights. In the 18th century, they employed the architect and artist Piranesi to renovate the buildings of the priory and also create the piazza in front. Piranesi is known for his etchings of Rome and he had a love of the city and an obsessive eye for architectural detail – hence his creation of this wonderful viewpoint from the Aventine Hill priory. He himself became a Knight of the Golden Spur for exceptional duties to the Catholic Church and is buried inside Santa Maria del Priorato.
To see the keyhole view of Rome, head up Via di Santa Sabina from the Circus Maximus, passing lovely rose gardens, a walled orange grove, some pretty churches and some parks which also have nice views. It's a lovely tour of Aventine Hill anyway, but peeping through the keyhole gives it that extra special touch.

Fort Worth, Texas
Reside In One Of The Country's Livable Communities
It is a fact Fort Worth, Texas is a city that has been voted as America's Most Livable Communities because of its fast growth between 2000 and 2006. But this city has not always been a place that attracted residents to reside in. Its rich history of authentic cowboy stories could attest how the people in the 19th century were able to deal with Hell's Half Acre. Thankfully, there were individuals who wanted to better the town and it led to what Forth Worth is now today.
Looking Into The Past Of Fort Worth
Fort Worth, Texas is a city in the Texas state that was named after Major General William Jenkins Worth. He was the one left to command the Department of Texas in 1849 and proposed to put up ten forts as the marks of the western Texas frontier from the Eagle Pass. But before the plans could be realized, Worth died of cholera and the position was assumed by General William S. Harney. He gave orders to Major Ripley A. Arnold to look for a new fort site near the Clear Fork and West Fork. Major Arnold found an area by the bank of Trinity River and established a camp their naming it Camp Worth. Later on, the camp was moved to a bluff facing north that has an overlooking view of the Clear Fork mouth of Trinity River.
Boom was experienced in the 1876 when after the Texas and Pacific Railway was established that made the Fort Worth Stockyards the premier cattle industry trading in wholesale. This town was even given the nickname Cowtown because it was the center cattle drives that became a ranching industry. Growth happened again in 1893 when the largest slaughtering firms, Armour and Swift started operating in the stockyards.
This caused the cattlemen to spend their money in gamble and colorful saloons. Then these seedy places grew and given a name of Hell's Half Acre that increase crime in the area. When law enforcement measures were put up, the illegal businesses protested as it could affect their business. The dance halls and gamblers then stopped operating but racetrack gambling was still present. The effort of a Baptist preacher, Rev. J. Frank Norris and a new city administration finally draw a curtain to the Acre in 1919.
Weather Situation Of Fort Worth
Texas mostly has a humid subtropic climate and Fort Worth has the same dry weather. The summer months are hot with temperatures averaging at 84°F. January is the coldest month of the year with average temperature at 43°F. Because of its location in the northern part of Texas, Fort Worth is very susceptible to supercell thunderstorms. Such weather disturbances can bring in large hail as well as tornadoes. Yearly precipitation averages at 34.01 inches where May is the wettest month and January is the driest with snowfall is only at 2.6 inches on annual average.
The People Of Forth Worth
Fort Worth is among the most populous cities in the United States ranking sixteenth in the country and fifth in Texas. The area it covers is almost 300 square miles with population at 741,206 as of the 2010 Census.

The individual patient data meta-analysis by Vickers et al1 reported that acupuncture is effective for the treatment of chronic pain but that the effects are "relatively modest." The authors base their conclusions on a well-conducted analysis of randomized controlled trials that compared acupuncture with sham or no-acupuncture controls. However, I believe that 2 important issues are not considered in their article or in the Invited Commentary2 that would help place acupuncture in better perspective for clinicians who wish to consider this modality as a possible treatment for chronic pain.

The second song on John Lennon's Imagine album, Crippled Inside married the soul-searching themes of his earlier John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band to a rockabilly musical style.
The song acts as a bridge between the album's stately title track and the introspective Jealous Guy. By varying the mood with an upbeat country rock number, Lennon revealed that Imagine was more musically varied than its predecessor.
Crippled Inside contained one of Lennon's bleakest lyrics, but the delivery suggests he may have been parodying his earlier work. The song also contains a reported dig at his former bandmate Paul McCartney in the line "You can live a lie until you die".
Crippled Inside is believed to have been inspired by Blind Blake's 1920s recording Black Dog Blues, although there are few similarities between the two. That song was also played by The Beatles during the Let It Be sessions on 24 January 1969.
In the studio
Crippled Inside was recorded at Ascot Sound Studios, the eight-track facility Lennon had installed at his English home, Tittenhurst Park. The version on the Imagine album was take 17.
Lennon recorded a guide vocal along with the rhythm track, which helped give Crippled Inside a suitably live feel. He later described the sound as "very corny country and western".
Key to the song's sound were Nicky Hopkins' jaunty piano work and George Harrison's dobro. Klaus Voormann played a bass guitar, and the rock 'n' roll spirit was further enhanced by an upright bass part by Steve Brendell.
An alternative mix of take 17, with an alternative solo by Harrison, has circulated on bootleg recordings.

In Their Own Words
"I teach Legal Aspects and Advanced Contract Negotiation, so it's all legal language, and I just try to break it down into plain English so that students understand what I'm talking about. And I draw a lot of diagrams."
"When they get a contract and are skimming through it, I want them to know when they need to talk to an attorney. I don't want them to feel like, 'I took Legal Aspects; I don't need a lawyer.' I want them to have enough knowledge to know when something doesn't feel right, and I want them to be able to have a more informed conversation with their attorney."
"My approach to lawyering is: I educate. Some people just say, 'Sign this; don't sign this. This is a good deal; this is a bad deal. I'll figure it out for you; you don't have to think about it.' That's not my thing. I want you to be educated, to understand what you're signing, and make an informed decision about what's right for you and what's not."
"I started teaching for Berkleemusic.com a couple years ago. It's an interesting format. We have a one-hour chat per week; that's where the class really comes alive. I think of the chat as being that time before class and after class where you either corner the teacher alone and ask questions that you didn't want to ask in front of the class or you raise your hand and you ask questions that other people are going to want to know, too. There's a little bit of both of those in it. It's usually students who are doing something else full time, and this is what they're squeezing in part time. Life happens. I've had students from all over the world, but they all have something in common. They want to learn legal aspects."

text: Data warehouses Quincy data centers' diesel generators debated By Anna King • Jul 13, 2011 The eastern Washington town of Quincy may get another 28 large diesel engines for its growing data center industry. That's the subject of a state-run public meeting today at Quincy's city hall. Some residents are concerned about the pollution that comes from the big generators. Some of your Internet queries might get answered by one of the thousands of servers spinning away in the town of Quincy. Those servers can't go dark even for a second. High-tech 'crops' growing fast in Quincy, but will the bounty last? By Anna King • Jun 27, 2011 Anna King / Northwest News Network QUINCY, Wash. – Located just north of the Gorge in the eastern part of the state, the town of Quincy used to be a stop for trains to get more water. But in the last five years it's quickly becoming a regional center for the online world. That's because email messages, family photos and tax info are being stored in huge data centers here. It's a new kind of crop for this rural farming community, but some are asking if the bounty will last?

Veterans Day celebration leads to surprise reunion
By Natalie Strom The Veterans Day Ceremony at Veterans' Memorial Park on November 11th was certainly one to remember. Special Guest Speaker, General James K. Guest, would definitely agree. During his speech he explained to the large crowd why this particular Veterans' Day was so special to him. "Veterans' Day is a day to remember the life-long friendships that were forged on the battlefield. This is one of the greatest benefits of being a veteran," General Guest told the crowd. With that he invited two men onto the stage, both who served under him during the Vietnam War. VFW Commander ... Read More »

The nearly 60,000-ton Forrestal was launched in 1954 and in spite of its size, could still attain speeds of 33 knots.

I started to pull harder and I believe I was breaking his knuckles. Finally, he let go and I fell backwards with the cement cover. At the same time he threw a grenade up.

It helps only if you can see the machine bed. But if you are doing half square triangles in a strip all in the same direction you have to sew on both sides of the diagonal line dividing the squares, so the machine bed is not visible and cannot be used as a guide. I could go one direction one way, then the other direction the other way which is what I will probably do and maybe that's what this method calls for in the first place. It would just give me more options if I had a 1/4 foot that is a 1/4 inch on both sides.Normal sewing is fine because I purchased a lined throatplate for my 15-91 and have sewn a number of quilts using it - but again only if it is visible.

Avery's handwritten motion to dismiss comes just a few weeks after Judge Lynn Adelman denied Avery's request for a publicly-funded attorney to represent him. And, it comes just a week before Avery was scheduled for deposition in the case.
Avery filed suit in 2012 against former Calumet County Sheriff Gerald Pagel, jail administrator John Byrnes, corrections officer Gary Hemauer, and other, unnamed correctional workers, as well as Calumet County. Avery claimed he was subject to unreasonable search & seizures, and was denied his right to free speech while being held in the county jail. He sought $1 for every instance of his rights being violated, plus punitive damages of $15 million.
Ron Stadler, who represents the defendants, told the court they have no objection to the dismissal but want it to be "with prejudice," meaning that Avery could not re-file the claim.
"This lawsuit has been pending for over 2.5 years and Defendants were in a position to finally achieve a dismissal of this lawsuit through summary judgment. While Defendants have no objection to a final resolution to this case through the more efficient process of a voluntary dismissal, it would object to a dismissal where Plantiff would be able to refile or recast these claims in future litigation," Stadler wrote.
Judge Adelman has not entered a dismissal order yet, so it remains to be seen if the defendants request for dismissal with prejudice will be granted.

After Dachauby Daniel Quinn
Daniel Quinn, well known for Ishmael - a life-changing book for readers the world over - once again turns the tables and creates an otherworld that is very like our own, yet fascinating beyond words. Imagine that Nazi Germany was the first to develop an atomic bomb and the Allies surrendered. America was never bombed, occupied, or even invaded, but was nonetheless forced to recognize Nazi world dominance. The Nazis continued to press their campaign to rid the planet of "mongrel races" until eventually the world - from Capetown to Tokyo - was populated by only white faces. Two thousand years in the future people don't remember, or much care, about this distant past. The reality is that to be human is to be Caucasian, and what came before was literally ancient history having nothing to do with those then living. Now imagine that reincarnation is real, that souls migrate over time from one living creature to another, and that a soul that once animated an American black woman living at the time of World War II now animates an Aryan in Quinn's new world, and that due to a traumatic accident memories of this earlier incarnation assert themselves. Compared by readers and critics alike to 1984 and Brave New World, After Dachau is a new dystopian classic with much to say about our own time, and the dynamics of human history.
The Counterfeit Murder in the Museum of Man (Norman de Ratour #3)by Alfred Alcorn
When Norman de Ratour discovers the body of Heinrich von Grümh in a car outside his beloved Museum of Man, he knows he faces a sticky public relations mess. What he doesn't know is that the gun used to kill the honorary curator is his own Smith & Wesson revolver. Implicated, publicly embarrassed, his life's work in danger, Norman becomes the prime person on a list of unusual suspects. Along the way, he both lives with and is aided by Alphus, former denizen of the Primate Pavilion and a creature who has an intellect to be reckoned with as well as a low, finely articulated opinion of the human species. As Norman endeavors to find the villain and clear his name, he learns that more than coins gets counterfeited - that people, from the ravishing merry widow Merissa Bonne to the dour Feidhlimidh de Buitlier, are not always what they purport to be. Replete with institutional spoofery, a plot hedged like a garden maze, and a literate style that treats the English language like the verbal funhouse it is, this third in the Norman de Ratour murder mysteries series sustains the genre invented by Poe while twisting and bending it into new forms.
Dizzy Cityby Nicholas Griffin
The year is 1916, Europe is at war, and American industrialists are getting rich. Englishman Benedict Cramb deserts the trench warfare of northern France and stows away on an outbound transatlantic ship. When the ship docks in New York City, a place untouched and largely unaware of the horrors of war, he realizes this is the place to reinvent himself. In the process, he soon falls under the sway of the urbane and mysterious Julius McAteer, who sees in Ben his chance to finely hone the tools of someone who can master the art of the con. They concoct a ruse, pick their mark - a blustering midwestern cattleman named Henry Jergens - and the game is afoot. In the process, Ben falls in love with the beguiling actress Katherine Howells, who in turn is connected to even more men of vast means. But the further Ben follows the money in New York, the closer he moves back to the war in Europe and his shattering experiences there. This page-turner is rich in historical detail and filled with suspense, romance and adventure.
The Holyby Daniel Quinn
They knew us before we began to walk upright. Shamans called them guardians, mythmakers called them tricksters, pagans called them gods, churchmen called them demons, folklorists called them shape-shifters. They've obligingly taken any role we've assigned them, and, while needing nothing from us, have accepted whatever we thought was their due - love, hate, fear, worship, condemnation, neglect, oblivion. Even in modern times, when their existence is doubted or denied, they continue to extend invitations to those who would travel a different road, a road not found on any of our cultural maps. But now, perceiving us as a threat to life itself, they issue their invitations with a dark purpose of their own. In this dazzling metaphysical thriller, four who put themselves in the hands of these all-but-forgotten Others venture across a sinister American landscape hidden from normal view, finding their way to interlocking destinies of death, terror, transcendental rapture, and shattering enlightenment.
The Love Potion Murders in the Museum of Man (Norman de Ratour #2)by Alfred Alcorn
The second installment in a hilarious, suspenseful series takes black comedy to philosophical heights, exploring the human--and inhuman--condition and seeking to redeem it through what might best be described as the humor of despair.
The Murder in the Museum of Man (Norman de Ratour #1)by Alfred Alcorn
Dean Cranston Fessing, dispatched from Wainscott University to investigate finances of the neighboring Museum of Man, has been murdered. Not only that, but his grisly remains bear the unmistakable mark of haute cuisine. The police are baffled, and the media have a field day, dragging the name of the venerable museum through the mud. To get to the bottom of it all, and save his beloved museum from the University's institutional embrace, comes recording secretary Norman de Ratour, the most reluctant of heroes, the unlikeliest of sleuths. Disappointed in love thirty years ago, Norman lives a reclusive bachelor's existence, tormented by the memory of Elsbeth, and of his own timidity at a crucial amorous moment. Aided by the e-mail missives of an anonymous informant, and thwarted at every turn by his politically ambitious boss, Norman is thrust to center stage and begins to investigate a long list of suspects. Along the way he uncovers a cannibal cult in the anthropology department, creative writing in the primate pavilion, and Nietzschean ambitions in the genetics lab. It's a race to find the culprit, save the museum and reclaim his lost love before he himself winds up gracing the table of some fiendish gourmand.
Triple Identityby Haggai Carmon

Santa Clarita Valley sewer district ratepayers flooded district officials with written comments this week as time ran out for the public to answer the question of how to remove chloride from the Santa Clara River.
"We have a mountain of comments to go through," Ray Tremblay, spokesman for the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, said Thursday, the day after the deadline for submissions.
Many of the submissions came in the day of the deadline, he added.
Asked about the nature of the comments, Tremblay said it was "grossly premature" to say anything.
In a bid to meet water-quality demands from the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board — which wants chloride levels in the river to be no higher than 100 milligrams per liter as the water leaves Los Angeles County — local sanitation district officials submitted a choice of four plans that could do the job but would cost ratepayers millions of dollars.
District officials held six public meetings to collect comments and extended the deadline for 30 days.
But commenting at public meetings and elsewhere ranged beyond the four plans, covering the gamut of "Let's sue over this" to "They can't do this; let's ignore it" to individuals' alternative proposals.
The sanitation district officials' job now is to put together a final proposal for the approval of the water quality control board. They have until the end of October to do so.
