Tom Barrasso wore a great mask, one time, last season. He unveiled it at a game in Boston.

It was all black, with Pgh city scenes on it. The "Golden Triangle" graced the top, along
with a steel mill on one side and the Civic Arena on the other. On the back of the helmet was the old Pens' logo the current (at the time) Pens
logo, and a space for the "new" logo.

A great mask done in by a goalie's superstition.

NOVA is the text classification database

The data of NOVA come from the 20-Newsgroup dataset. Each text to classify is an email that was posted to one or several newsgroups. We selected the separation of politics and religion topics from all the other topics. The raw data comes as text files for the “prior knowledge” track. The topics are provided with the training data in that track. The preprocessed data for the “agnostic” track is a sparse binary representation using a bag-of-word with a vocabulary of approximately 17000 words.
