Vikings Sack San Marino - The Trouble With Typos
If you write about a football game where Minnesota sacked Dan Marino, can a typo cause more than just giggles? It can when mixed with a bank robbery investigation, a stubborn boss, and the Internet. All these combine to cause the arresting of a car for the crime and confused rumors of Viking attacks, among other oddities. As if that's not enough, callers from a shady company, Amalgamated Business Opportunities, find more than just crazy pranks. One of those pranks leads to minions of the mastermind behind both the company and the robbery actually donning Viking gear. Can the San Marinese investigator solve this puzzling situation despite her boss' attitude? Does a simple jokester hold the key? And, will people ever run out of jokes concerning the arresting of an automobile?

Broadband policy is controversial in large part because of the differences in the regulatory regimes faced by different types of carriers. Cable television companies face neither retail price regulation of their cable modem services nor any requirements to make their facilities available to competitors. Local t...

Saved from a mugger, a young woman runs into the arms of a madman On her way to meet a friend for lunch at a Mexican restaurant in a seedy part of downtown Denver, Valerie Rowe gets tackled from behind.

Deregulation has introduced competition into traditionally monopolistic markets, particularly telecommunications and electric utilities.
