...many logs they can expect to need in Atlanta in January or in Denver in November. The model, created by Planalytics, tracks Duraflame's historical sales against weather data for the same time period and then makes projections from long-range weather forecasts. The formula is a lot more complex than the simple deduction that cold weather equals sales. Regional buying habits, for example, are taken into account. In Jacksonville, Fla., fire logs sell when temperatures dip into the 60s. In San Francisco, people buy when it's rainy. And in hardy Chicago, the mercury has to drop below...
Still, the FBI is trying to solve what it calls the biggest, most complex cybercrime it's encountered. Investigators in Santa Barbara and the Bay Area are zeroing in on how the UCSB computers were manipulated. On Saturday, federal sources confirmed that they had found some telling clues along the e-trail; one of the culprits "was a little sloppy."

But DiCaprio, knowing that he had a cuddly-toy quality (a face just shy of puberty, a smile that, in his first TV spot, was used to sell milk), barely rouged the rougher aspects of his characters. Toby is a decent kid, but his stabs at '50s punkdom rasp...
...tied to Hollywood, it was still a very small-scale, independent feature." In a lesser director's hands, Felicia's Journey could easily have devolved into a standard Hollywood thriller, but Egoyan's thoughtful approach to the material and his sense of subtlety and restraint made it a complex and powerful work...
