On p. 124 of Goldberg (1989), it says that the sigma truncation function
is:

f' = f - (<f> - c*sigma)

      ^^^

On p. 62 of Michalewicz (1992) it says that the sigma truncation
function is:

f' = f + (<f> - c*sigma)

      ^^^

Is it plus or minus?  Goldberg cites Forrest (1985) as the original
source, but I do not have a copy.  Curiously enough, Michalewicz (1992) 
says that he is following Goldberg (1989).
