After killing his family in the winter of 1971, John List went on the run, initiating a worldwide manhunt that would last nearly twenty years before he was finally apprehended.

In early December 1971, after a month of watching the lightbulbs in the List house slowly burn out one after another, neighbors finally became concerned about the List family and called the Westfield, NJ police to report their suspicions. Acting on the calls, officers arrived at house on the morning of December 7 to perform a wellbeing check, and when no one answered the door, they managed to gain access to the house through a basement window.  When they reached the first floor, the officers found the bodies of the List family—including the couple's three children—dead from gunshot wounds to the head they'd suffered a month earlier. Noticeably absent from the remains in the house were those of the family patriarch, John List. In his office, investigators discovered a letter List had written to the pastor of his local church, in which he claimed to have murdered his family in order to spare them the pain of living in a world he believed had become corrupt and morally bankrupt.

Smashing up guitars is a classic rock star activity, but how about drowning them? 7-year-old listener Cornelius has set CrowdScience a challenge: to find out what happens if you play a guitar underwater. Could this be the next avant-garde music sensation? Host and amateur musician Caroline Steel tackles Cornelius' question with the help of one increasingly soggy guitar. The UK's National Physical Laboratory is our first port of call, with a guitar-sized water tank at the ready, and acoustic scientists Dr Freya Malcher and Ben Ford helping tackle our questions. Since an acoustic guitar's sound is amplified by its internal chamber, what happens as that chamber starts to fill with water? How about if the whole guitar - strings, body and all - is submerged? What difference does it make if our ears are listening above or below the water? And can special water-adapted microphones help us explore this unusual question, before our guitar disintegrates? Our guitar then heads off on tour to Denmark, where the band Between Music have teased out questions just like these for their underwater music project, Aquasonic. We talk to violinist and Innovative Director Robert Karlsson, and singer Nanna Bech, who also plays a unique subaquatic instrument. With their help, we discover how to get the best out of a submerged guitar, and find out whether other instruments are better suited to the life aquatic.

Bengals' Heartbreaking Collapse: A 39-34 Snowy Thriller Loss to the BillsIn the swirling snow of Orchard Park on December 7, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals experienced yet another gut-wrenching defeat, falling 39-34 to the Buffalo Bills in a Week 14 AFC showdown that felt like a playoff preview gone awry. For a Bengals team clinging to fading postseason hopes at 4-8, this loss wasn't just a tally in the standings—it was a microcosm of their season's frustrations: explosive offense undercut by untimely errors, a defense that bent but couldn't break, and the cruel poetry of two bizarre interceptions sealing their fate.The game kicked off under a blanket of white, with Mother Nature turning Highmark Stadium into a winter wonderland. Cincinnati won the coin toss and, defying convention, elected to receive. It paid immediate dividends. Joe Burrow, the Bengals' unflappable gunslinger, orchestrated a meticulous 14-play, 67-yard march that devoured 8:16 off the clock. He went 5-for-6, threading needles through the flurries to set up Chase Brown's gritty five-yard touchdown plunge—assisted by a shove from tackle Amarius Mims. Just like that, it was 7-0, and Bengals fans dared to dream of extending their streak of scoring first-drive touchdowns against Buffalo in four straight meetings.Buffalo, however, is no ordinary foe. Josh Allen, the dual-threat dynamo, answered with surgical precision. The Bills' offense, leaning on tight-end heavy sets to exploit Cincinnati's linebacker coverage, clawed back with a field goal, making it 7-3. Burrow wasn't done. In the second quarter, he carved up the secondary again, finding Tee Higgins for a one-handed, highlight-reel touchdown grab that pushed the lead to 14-3. By halftime, the Bengals held a precarious 21-11 edge, having converted 4-of-4 third downs on their opening possession. Ja'Marr Chase, battling through the weather, eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards for the season—his fifth such campaign—reminding everyone why Cincinnati's passing attack remains elite.The third quarter hinted at Bengals dominance. Burrow's hot streak continued, with Chase Brown adding another score to balloon the lead to 28-11. Burrow finished 22-of-31 for 218 yards and three touchdowns, his pocket presence a beacon in the blizzard. The Bengals' ground game chipped in 70 yards from Brown, who also hauled in a receiving score, showcasing the balanced attack that once made Cincy a Super Bowl contender.But football's cruel theater unfolded in the fourth. Trailing by 17, Buffalo's defense—led by cornerback Christian Benford—finally cracked the code. Midway through the frame, Benford snared Burrow's short right pass intended for Chase at the Buffalo 37, returning it 63 yards for a pick-six that ignited the comeback. The stadium erupted; the Bills trailed 28-18. Allen, electric as ever, responded with four total touchdowns—two passing, two rushing—capitalizing on the momentum. A late Bengals touchdown pulled them within 36-34, but their two-point conversion fizzled when Burrow fumbled the snap.Then, the dagger: Burrow's second inexplicable interception in as many attempts, this one a wobbling duck in the snow that gifted Buffalo prime field position. The Bills tacked on a field goal, then methodically ran out the clock after Cincinnati's onside kick failed. Allen's 21 fourth-quarter points underscored Buffalo's resilience, improving them to 9-4 and bolstering their AFC East grip.For Cincinnati, the what-ifs sting. Two "weirdest interceptions you'll ever see," as one analyst quipped, turned a potential statement win into another collapse. The defense, featuring Jordan Battle's three picks on the year, forced a turnover on downs but couldn't stop Allen's heroics. Injuries, like edge rusher Joseph Ossai's brief exit, added to the toll. This 39-34 heartbreaker drops the Bengals to 4-9, their playoff dreams buried deeper in the snow. Yet, with Burrow's wizardry (18-5 in December games lifetime), hope flickers. Next week, redemption calls against the Browns—but for now, Buffalo's blizzard of brilliance leaves Cincinnati chilled.(Word count: 412)

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran dives into what the Buffalo Bills have done at cornerback so far this offseason and perhaps more importantly, what they will do at cornerback before the 2025 regular season begins.Brandon Beane has been busy adding to the defense so far during this free agency period, but those biggest additions have come on the defensive line where they've signed Joey Bosa, Michael Hoehct and Larry Ogunjobi. The safety position has also seen Damar Hamlin re-sign as well as the addition of Darrick Forrest.The cornerback position is starting to stick out as a need at this point, perhaps the team's biggest. The Bills did bring back Dane Jackson after letting him walk a year ago, but Rasul Douglas remains in free agent limbo and former first-round pick/bust Kaiir Elam was traded to Dallas. Whether Jackson ends up starting alongside Christian Benford, cornerback is in need of talent influx. Patrick talks about Benford, his thoughts on Jackson returning and three veteran free agent possibilities that could still happen, including Douglas.More than likely however, the Bills long term and perhaps immediate starting solution come come through the draft at the end of April. Patrick breaks down three prospects that could be very enticing to the Bills in the first round as well as three others who could be solid day two picks and contribute right away.That plus some NFL rule change proposals and more.Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red's at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation to discuss some of the biggest dilemmas that Brandon Beane and the Buffalo Bills will be facing coming up soon this offseason. Beane and his staff have difficult decisions to make every offseason and this one will certainly be no different. Among the topics Patrick and Matt go over is if Buffalo will keep, restructure and cut Matt Milano and/or Von Miller and it comes clear you can make a case to keep one, both or none. Extensions could also play a huge role in the shape of this offseason. Greg Rousseau, James Cook, Khalil Shakir, Terrell Bernard and Christian Benford among others are all slated to go into the final years of their respective contracts. How many should be extended if possible and what should the pecking order be? Patrick admits to having some reservations about a few players based on how the postseason played out. The guys also chat about what they think should happen with the starting cornerback spot alongside Benford, feelings about Cole Bishop becoming a starter next year and a confidence in level in Keon Coleman taking a big step in his second year. They also have thoughts on a potential Garrett Myles trade, the Super Bowl on Sunday, a potential league rule change and much more.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with Ben Ford and Michael Greenberg for a dynamic conversation. Ben is the founder of Mission Control Dev, and Michael is the founder of Third Brain, a company focused on automating business operations. We explore a variety of topics, including the real meaning of "artificial intelligence," how AI is impacting various industries, and whether we truly have AI today. Michael introduces his concept of "Third Brain," a digital layer of operations, while Ben reflects on his military background and how it shapes his current work. Both offer unique perspectives on where technology is headed, especially around the future of knowledge work, digital transformation, and the human element in an increasingly automated world.

While these systems are highly capable of pattern recognition and can execute specific workflows efficiently, they fall short of human-like intelligence due to their inability to form cognitive loops, embody real-world understanding, or have agency. AI today excels at capacity but not in truly autonomous thinking.Digital transformation is continuous, not a one-time event: The idea that digital transformation has failed was discussed, with Ben and Michael pointing out that the problem lies in the perception that digital transformation has a start and end point. In reality, businesses are constantly transforming, and the process is more about ongoing adaptation than achieving a static, “transformed” state. Success in this realm requires persistent updates and improvements, especially in operational structure.AI as an enabler, not a replacement: Both guests emphasized that AI should be seen as a tool that augments human capability rather than replaces it. AI can significantly enhance the capacity of knowledge workers, enabling them to focus on more creative or strategic tasks by automating routine processes. However, human oversight and strategic input are still essential, especially when it comes to structuring data and providing context for AI systems to function effectively.The future of work involves "AI whisperers": Stewart introduces the idea of "AI whisperers" — people skilled in communicating with and directing AI systems to achieve specific outcomes. This requires a high level of linguistic and operational understanding, suggesting that those who can finesse AI's capabilities with precision will be in high demand in the future workforce. This shift may see creative, word-focused individuals becoming increasingly critical players in business operations.Structured data is crucial for effective AI deployment: A major challenge in deploying AI for businesses is the lack of well-structured data. Many organizations lack the documentation or system integration needed to effectively implement AI, meaning much of the initial work revolves around organizing data. Without this foundational step, attempts at AI deployment—such as customer service chatbots—are prone to failure, as the AI systems are only as good as the data they're fed.Graphs as the framework for business processes: Ben and Michael both highlight the importance of graphs in modern operations. Graphs, as a way to map out relationships between different elements of a system, are key to understanding and implementing digital operations. This concept allows for the visualization and optimization of workflows, helping businesses better navigate the complexities of modern digital ecosystems.AI is accelerating, and businesses need to keep up: One of the key takeaways from the episode is the rapid pace of AI advancement and its effect on businesses. Companies that fail to incorporate AI tools into their operations risk being left behind. Ben points out that the train has already left the station, and businesses need to quickly adapt by leveraging AI to streamline their processes and maintain competitiveness in an increasingly automated world.
