You have a prime-time date with a brutal murderer ... right in your own living room.
Lucas Frank knows the cost of hunting human monsters. That's why he left Boston for the peace of the Michigan woods. But a tantalizing case has lured the forensic psychiatrist back to work -- and straight into the path of a cold-bloodedkiller.
Felix Zrbny was just a teenager when he went on a murder spree that left three women dead. Now, after spending fifteen years locked away, Felix has escaped -- and he is determined to finish what he started all those years ago.
Lucas races to untangle the mysteries of Felix's mind as the ratings-hungry press steps in to make Felix its own macabre media darling. They track his every move and broadcast his bloody reign of terror for the whole world to see. And all the while, behind the scenes, someone is orchestrating the moment when the killer and the hunter will at last come face-to-face.
They say everyone gets their fifteen minutes of fame. For Felix Zrbny, it's fifteen minutes of infamy. The clock is ticking -- and he's going to make sure that every minute counts.
You Bet Your Life: The Burdens of Gambling by Neil David Isaacs, ISBN 0813121957
We are a nation of gamblers: parimutuel wagering at horse tracks; black-jack in Las Vegas; the NCAA basketball office pool; even day trading on the internet. Gambling is both our national pastime and our predominant cultural metaphor -- play the field; beat the odds; take a chance on love. Yet gambling poses serious risks to individuals and to society as a whole.
Neil Isaacs -- sports historian, licensed clinical social worker, English professor, and a gambler himself for more than fifty years -- seeks to shatter the myths interfering with our understanding of gambling addiction, its causes, and its treatment. He begins by systematically debunking several commonly held beliefs, demonstrating that there is no such thing as the law of averages, that gambling is not inherently sinful, immoral, or criminal, and that money is not always the prime motivator for gamblers.
Isaacs shows how habitual gambling can lead to compulsive gambling, but avoids oversimplifying this condition. Arguing...

Beverly Hillbillies, The
"The Beverly Hillbillies" first aired on September 26, 1962 and remained on September 26, 1962 and remained on the air for 9 seasons and 274 episodes. It quickly rose to #1 in the ratings, faster than any other show ever and it did this within the first three weeks of its debut. This feat is still unmatched to this day! It also remained at the top for two years. The 1971 cancellation of the series was the result of CBS' desire to erase its image as a "rural network" and was not a reflection on the popularity of the show in the ratings. Other similar shows, including "Green Acres" and "Petticoat Junction" were cancelled as well. Includes 8 classic episodes: "The Servants," "Getting Settled," "Elly Races Jethrine," "Jed Buys Stock," "Trick Or Treat," "The Clampetts Strike Oil," "Jethro Goes To School," "Meanwhile, Back At The Cabin.
