...with a pigskin counterpart, FantasyFootballSherpa.com).Swanay’s site uses statistical analysis to predict players’ performances for upcoming seasons and rank the players accordingly. Subscribers can then reference these rankings as they draft their fantasy squads.Other sites offer similar services, but Swanay has taken measures to distinguish himself from the competition. For example, one feature of his site is a forecasting system that continues to adjust and make new predictions throughout the season, instead of making one prediction of a player’s performance for a season at the beginning of the year. He also...
...determining a fire's cause: Police bribery aside, the authors note several ways that forensic and medical experts can distinguish fire-related accidents, suicides and homicides: "Autopsy reports often note kerosene smells and prior removal of jewelry, and experiments showed that flames always travel upwards through a victim's garments." Detailed interviews with survivors, kin and the neighbors of the victim can also determine the nature of the fire's cause, as well as "insights into the bottlenecks in health care, such as delays in treatment due to fears of meeting the police, traffic conditions, and inabilities...

Unfortunately, Mun’s characteristic lack of subtlety seeps into these portrayals as well, and the characters are painted in broad, vapid strokes. Though Joon painfully recalls being taunted with racial slurs as a child, she views her multiracial peers through an equally skewed...
...tale is not alone in its violence—mistrust and anger, rape, and bodily destruction inundate the stories displayed. Even the presentation of the text itself is challenging. Words, set in uniform lines, cram the frame. As the viewer reads the narratives, he must fight to distinguish the story from his own reflection in the gleaming glass. To create further discomfort, Hatry graces the gallery with a pig flesh example of a sculpted bust. The bust lies on a butcher’s table, attached to stuffed clothing to give it the appearance of belonging to a full body...
