giveaways. If you believe that you will be offended, do not address
these sites. Along the same vein, I expect everything submitted to
me to be in good taste.

ments of this part of the assignment will receive 44 points. Utilizing
"extra" formatting features along with demonstrated ingenuity and
creativeness in the content of the paper can result in an additional
range up to 16 points. Maximum points for outstanding papers is 60.
