Dear colleagues, I wanted to take a moment to inform you about an upcoming special presentation on the Salem witch trials that I believe will be of great interest to everyone. As we all know, the Salem witch trials were a dark chapter in American history, and this presentation aims to shed light on this significant event. The presentation will delve into the details of the Salem witch trials, which occurred in the late 17th century in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. **It will explore the root causes, the accusations, and the subsequent trials and executions that took place during this period.** The speaker has conducted extensive research on this topic and will provide a comprehensive overview of the events that unfolded during this time. **One of the key focus areas of this presentation is the societal and cultural context in which the witch trials occurred.
**One of the key focus areas of this presentation is the societal and cultural context in which the witch trials occurred.** It will examine the deeply rooted religious beliefs and social dynamics that contributed to the hysteria and subsequent persecution of individuals accused of witchcraft. Through a careful analysis of primary sources and historical records, the speaker will provide insights into the mindset of the people involved and the impact it had on the community.

NHL standings and magic numbers. : a different way of looking at the standings, as well as projected finishing positions, using magic numbers. it's not as esoteric as it sounds.

Very interesting. Maybe a little too complicated for the average fan though. Also I'm sure the program can be modified to include the upcoming head-to-head matchups without much difficulty.

Assuming all teams continue to earn points at their current rates [This is funny] Seriously, although I respect the guy for taking the time to do all this analysis, I do not think NJD finishes sixth in the East--PHI will hit a rut and the Devils almost surely will take most of the points from the three games in hand they have on the Flyers.

Yeah, projections are good indicators for where a team might be going, but if they don't take into account the schedule they're pretty useless. For example, only 8 of Ottawa's last 23 games are at home. At the same time, they play Philly three times. One late season slump or streak can really earn you (or cost you) a few positions in the standings. Hell, the hottest team in the league right now (Boston) plays Philly twice this month. They win those, they could very easily leap-frog into first (especially when you consider that Ottawa and Toronto are average now. For all the flack that the Belfour-less Leafs are currently getting, it's still worth noting that in the last 10 games they have an almost identical record as the Sens.) So they're good for a quick comparison, but I think projections are always stupid.

owl, why would a Rangers fan site have any credibility?

Don't cast judgement so easily Billy. Yes, I'm a Ranger fan, but the Rodent is one of the single best hockey sites I visit. As is it's sister-site HockeyBird. And we'll see on those Devils, but they just look different now. They don't seem to have the same "It". Whether that is because of the loss of Stevens or not, I don't know. We'll see.

The Rodent is a stats demi-god. That guy finds angles Pythagoras hasn't thought of.
