  1. A very tired, old, bogus claim, goat. Everyone knows that you are the only cliffhanger criminal here. And, everyone knows what I look like... (Actual photo) And he's devious. If you click on the "wiki" link he supplied, you are taken to http://www.cjames.gayauthors.org/Eleutherodactylus_precipitous.htm

  3. Just finished proofreading the chapter and I can tell you it is worth the wait. Beginning with the title, which C J has not disclosed, it will hold your attention.
  4. My compliments to both Gene and Tim for very well expressed reactions to the NCAA sanctions against Penn State. There are two sides to any issue, of course, and I expect there will be strong feelings on both sides. I don't care for Penn State or the NCAA. The latter may be overreacting to the former's lack of action. Gene is right about the nature of the $60 million "fine". Child abuse victims will be helped without all the significant dollars going to attorneys. That may be the most appropriate action taken by the NCAA.
