Fighting terror with third-order differential equations

Hey, it's my friend Sean, mentioned in an article by that dastardly rag across the pond, the Register. It's all about a Rice project that uses statistical analysis of giant data sets to identify and predict terror events before they happen. Sexy stuff.
