	The Gadflyer: Surprise, Surprise, Surprise! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The strategy behind an October Surprise centers on the fact that the press won't be able to restrain themselves from reporting on a salacious story, but won't have time to verify its accuracy.
		There are two different types of October Surprise stories: leaks from partisans, of which the press is particularly skeptical; and stories a news organization gets itself that might seem too explosive to run in the final days.
		October Surprises are certainly not the sole province of the GOP.

		But what's more surprising is that only one of the eight undefeated teams made the playoffs last year.
		That would be the Colts, which means that the Bills, Broncos, Chiefs, Panthers, Redskins, Seahawks and Vikings are all rebounding nicely thus far after missing the 2002 postseason.
		Minnesota actually was my preseason pick for surprise team of the year, and it has started out that way.

		What's surprising here is not the four-day lag, but the speed with which the announcement was made - a kind of unseemly tip-off to any al-Qaeda figures connected to Ghailani.
		Whatever surprises the Bush administration is planning for the coming months, it's hard to imagine an administration that's been as regularly caught off guard by events as this one.
		Not only is there no guarantee that an administration electoral surprise will work as planned, but it's a reasonable guess that, of the surprises that lie ahead, the majority aren't likely to fall Bush's way.

		Introduction Traditionally it has been thought that "surprises can and should be avoided with more knowledge, better planning, and / or better systems design".
		While some surprises can be avoided as a result of the above mentioned measures, the authors argue that surprise is inherent in complex systems and thus cannot be avoided entirely.
		Conclusion Complexity science shows us that surprises are a natural part of complex adaptive systems, and cannot be avoided.

		It should have been no surprise that Peres could lose an election that everyone thought he would win.
		He had already lost five elections for prime minister and been beaten for the presidency by Moshe Katsav, who, like Peretz, was a Sephardi MK from a development town and who no one thought had a chance to win.
		THE ONE reason that hasn't been considered by the political pundits was that Peretz ran a great campaign, used smart political strategies and had a message that he sold successfully to a majority of Labor members.

		The often-percussive guitar playing can recall the Mountain Goats played at 33 rpm, though the tempo and meandering melodies suggest years spent on the beach doing drugs rather than going to college and, well, doing drugs.
