Nobody forced Alan Emmins to clean up a crime scene. The British journalist had never written about crime and had no experience with anything involving blood. But there was something about Neal Smithers, owner of San Francisco-based Crime Scene Cleaners, that made Emmins want to find out what he was missing. His book Mop Men: Inside the World of Crime Scene Cleaners follows Smithers - who started his company after watching Pulp Fiction - from a double murder to a slit-wrist suicide, and all the gruesome, partially decomposed scenes in-between...

...from the blue line hit the crossbar. The Crimson continued to dominate play during the first period, attempting a total of 20 shots as compared with Union’s 11 efforts. The second period, however, proved to be a different story. While the first period was characterized by clean play and fast-moving hockey, penalties in the second period cluttered play and slowed the game’s speed, swinging the momentum in the Dutchmen’s favor. Union looked to even the score at 1:30 in the second when the Dutchmen unleashed...
