Jeff,
I for one have been following your posts with great interest.  In fact I
have ordered the article from TASC to see the original.  I have a similare
system that I have developed on my own.  It doesn't work quite as well as
the results that you have posted but it keeps me eating on a regular basis.
Thank you for being so open with your work!
