text: Keselowski Leads Most Laps and Finishes 11th at CMSOctober 14, 2012CONCORD, N.C. (October 13 , 2012) – Brad Keselowski, driver of the Penske Racing No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge Charger in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS), finished 11th in the Bank of America 500 – the fifth race in the 2012 Chase for the Championship – at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday night. Keselowski appeared to have the strongest car, particularly during the middle portion of the race when he led many of his race-high 139 laps. However, the No. 2 machine ran out of fuel at the end on the penultimate run of the race and lost valuable track position that Keselowski was not able to make up as he finished just outside the top 10.With the result, Keselowski still leads the Chase for the Championship standings by seven points over Jimmie Johnson with five races remaining in the season. Keselowski started the 334-lap race from the 20th position after posting a time of 28.238 seconds, or 191.225 miles per hour, around the 1.5-mile oval during the Thursday evening qualifying session. As the race began it took the Miller Lite Dodge two laps to build up the air pressure it needed in the Goodyear radials. When the handling of the car came to Keselowski's liking, he was able to click off laps four tenths of a second faster than the cars in front of him. A caution period at lap 12 gave Keselowski a chance to assess his chassis. He radioed to crew chief Paul Wolfe that the Miller Lite Dodge was handling a bit tight on corner entry, as well as corner exit. Wolfe elected to bring his driver down pit road while the leaders stayed on the track. He called for only a two-tire pit stop with no adjustments before his driver restarted the race from the 24th position at lap 16. This early pit stop placed Keselowski and the Miller Lite Dodge team on a different pit cycle for the first half of the race. It allowed him to stay out under a lap 36 caution period to assume the lead for the first time on the night. He was able to maintain his position at the front of the field before making a green-flag pit stop at lap 71 for four tires, fuel and an air pressure adjustment. Keselowski found himself running in the 30th spot, but he quickly reassumed the lead when the leaders began to make their pit stops around lap 85. Keselowski remained off pit sequence from the race leaders until the strategy paid off with a timely caution flag at lap 167. Just prior to another pit stop for the No. 2 Dodge, everyone came down pit road at the same time which reset the field's track position. During the pit stop Wolfe called for four tires, fuel and a track bar adjustment to help his driver with a loose-handling condition around the high-speed CMS oval. Following the pit stop, Keselowski restarted the race from the third position at lap 173. Once again he proved to have a very fast Dodge as he was able to race his way back to the lead at lap 213. During the run he began to save fuel in hopes of making it to the end of the race on only one more pit stop. Keselowski visited pit road at lap 221 for another stop of four tires, fuel and a track bar adjustment. Great pit work by the Miller Lite crew saw Keselowski return to the track with his lead intact as the pit stops cycled through at lap 223. After building a lead of over one second, Keselowski again went into fuel-conservation mode. While trying to stretch his next-to-last tank one extra lap, he ran out of fuel just past the exit of pit road at lap 276. He was able to coax his Dodge back around to the attention of his pit crew, however it took precious seconds to get the car to re-fire. Keselowski dropped back to 14th place in the running order when the pit stop sequence was completed at lap 282. Keselowski made a valiant attempt to get back inside the top 10, but he fell one position short as he crossed the line in the 11th position. Keselowski also gained bonus points for leading one lap and leading the most laps. Penske Racing teammate, Sam Hornish Jr., finished 15th in Saturday night's Bank of America 500. "It's like playing blackjack," said Keselowski. "Sometimes you're going to get a good deal but you're not going to win them all. You know that. You hope that you're sitting there with 13 and not have a lot of chips in the pile. We didn't. We didn't lose too much. We got 11th (place) out of the day where everything kind of fell against us from cautions at the beginning to lack of them at the end. We still put out a respectable effort. It was a good day, led a bunch of laps, which helps for not getting in the top 10. Would like to get those other few spots but you're not going to catch those breaks every time. We still made the most of it." Keselowski and the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge team will next race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday, October 21 in the Hollywood Casino 400 – the sixth race in the 2012 Chase for the Championship. Coverage of the event will be seen live beginning at 1:00 pm EST on ESPN. The race will also be heard on the Motor Racing Network and Sirius Satellite Radio Channel 90. Back to previous page.

can someone explain what is forth bi-cubic scaling?

Phoronix: xf86-video-ati 6.10.0 Released
AMD's Alex Deucher has announced the release of the xf86-video-ati 6.10.0 driver. This open-source ATI graphics driver update brings forth bi-cubic scaling on R300/400/500/690 chipsets, new ASICs are supported by this DDX driver, reduced X-Video tearing, and quite a few bug-fixes. The whole list of changes found in xf86-video-ati 6.10.0 can be read on the X.Org mailing list...

I think this is talking about bicubic filtering in Xv. Whenever the driver displays video at a different resolution from the recording (eg when you are playing full screen or a big window) it uses the GPU to scale up the frames.
If you don't filter while scaling you get big scaled up pixels in the displayed video and it looks crappy, so you have to filter. Bilinear filtering (the default for most HW, I think) gives you a slightly blurry image; bicubic filtering takes more processing but gives you a sharper image while still getting rid of the jaggy scaled up pixels.
"to bring forth" is an English phrase that means something about the same as only "to bring" :P
(Well, the explanation could be a bit better, but you get the point)
bi-cubic scaling improves the picture quality when e.g. playing movies by using mathematical algorithms.
EDIT: ok, bridgman was faster
Did they make xv work at all in r700 (HD4850)?
Still tearing with the privative drivers .
The Xv code is next on the list now that Alex has the 780 IGP parts working. We're still trying to figure out why the YUV-to-RGB shader for 6xx/7xx works in the test program but not in the driver code.
Compared to rc1 I have some flicker when X starts and it also starts slower. Haven't yet tried to watch videos.
X1300 Pro (Rv516)
to see it flicker
Should I do something else than just xrandr -q? 'cause that does not flicker one bit on this card..

Earlier this week, we mentioned that in addition to releasing the Cutesters and Urban 3 series of Vinylmation collectibles on December 15 at the Disneyland Resort, that Vinylmation Apparel will also be introduced to the world (er..

Walt Disney World Delays Saturday Parade Taping Until Sunday
Due to weather concerns, Walt Disney World has decided to move the parade taping events scheduled for Saturday, December 4 to Sunday, December 6. Earlier today, the performance by the Jonas Brothers had to be delayed until Sunday and Celine Dion's performance was moved to the Grand Floridian because of heavy rain conditions.
Guests who had tickets for this morning's 7 am taping are eligible to attend the taping on Sunday. In addition, Walt Disney World is extending an option to those with tickets for tomorrow's 11:30 am session to show up for the 7 am session if they so wish.
In The Looking Glass: Alice in Wonderland Collectibles Now Available for Pre-Order
Just spotted earlier today on Big Bad Toy Store (although other importers are likely to carry them) is this set of 2 7″ tall Ultra Design Figures of Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland by Medicom.
Expected to ship in 2010, the set will run you about $35.
Now if something a little larger was what you had in mind, drink this one in. Medicom is also releasing a 12″ Mad Hatter doll which is sure to grab any passerby's attention. Pricing for this crazy puppy will run you roughly $150-$200 depending on whom you buy it from.
iPhone App Review: Phineas and Ferb Arcade
Title: Phineas and Ferb Arcade (link)
Publisher: Walt Disney
Released: December 3, 2009
Cost: $1.99
iTouch?: Yes (WiFi/Internet required for scoreboard)
Pros: Quick, addictive play, free preview available
Cons: Controls sometimes difficult, navigation buttons inconsistent
Review: In a series of 3 mini-games, Phineas and Ferb brings the number one show for kids ages 6-11 (not to mention popular with every other demographic) to the iPhone.
Here's the plot: While Phineas and Ferb are trying to build a snow mountain so they can snowboard in the backyard (S'no Problem), older sister Candace goes surfing in the backyard tide pool trying to impress Jeremy (Cowabunga Candace!), all the while Perry the Platypus is acting as Agent P, trying to protect the secret hideout from infiltrators (Agent P's Hideout).
Here's the thing: If you're a Phineas and Ferb fanatic, you might find yourself thinking those game names sound familiar — and they should. All three are actual almost-direct ports of existing games you can play online for free. Granted the controls are different given the nature of a personal computer versus an iPhone (and to be honest, in the latter two games, the iPhone wins in this respect), but gameplay is virtually the same which means if you aren't familiar with them, you can try them out online first before buying the game (see links below).
Details Revealed for the 26th Annual Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. and ANAHEIM, Calif., Dec. 4 — 'Tis the season to be merry at Disney Parks, when the 26th annual "Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade," featuring award-winning musical talent and iconic stars performing in this year's television special, airs December 25 on ABC-TV.
This year's show promises to dazzle viewers with must-see performances by Celine Dion and Stevie Wonder. Pop sensations the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato spread joy to all as enchanting sounds from world-renowned musical artist Yanni and his Yanni Voices echo through the park. "American Idol" Season 8 winner, Kris Allen, will perform and "Wizards of Waverly Place" star Selena Gomez will make a special appearance in the annual telecast.
From the newest Disney Princess – Tiana – to Mickey Mouse and all his 'toon pals,' beloved Disney characters will embrace the holiday spirit aboard awe-inspiring floats that "deck the halls" as they glide through the Disney theme parks.
Two of television's most popular celebrities will appear as the hosts of this year's program. From the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida, popular morning show personality Kelly Ripa returns as host, doubling her duties while partner Regis Philbin recovers from recent surgery. At Disneyland Park in California, worldwide television and radio host Ryan Seacrest takes center stage for the West Coast festivities. Nick Cannon, from "America's Got Talent" makes his "Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade" television debut as co-host/man-on-the-street for the telecast.
The two-hour televised special will air nationally in High-definition December 25 on ABC-TV at 10 a.m. Eastern and 9 a.m. Central, Mountain and Pacific times.
While parents and children prepare to offer their day of volunteer service in 2010, two families will share their encouraging stories during the parade telecast of how they've made a difference by volunteering in their hometown communities, the inspiring motives that moved them to give back and the lessons their children have taken with them along the way.
Throughout the telecast, chart-topping talent and award-winning artists from around the world come together to share in the Christmas merriment at Disney Parks. (Please note: all talent and floats subject to change)
Walt Disney World Satellite Maps by Robo Updated
It's been over a year since the incredibly popular Walt Disney World Satellite Maps by Robo section has been added to Stitch Kingdom and it was long due for an update. Thanks to Robo, many of the maps have now been updated to reflect changes in the resort over the past year as well as some additional maps added, most notably those for Downtown Disney and individual lands in the Magic Kingdom.
I also took the opportunity to address the fact that users needed to click Search in order to view all maps initially. Now all maps will be shown automatically by default while still allowing users to filter by category and optional subcategory.
New, Lower Prices at Downtown Disneyland's 'Studio Disney 365′ Effective December 4

'TRON Mickey' Vinyl Collectible Doll Now Available to D23 Members at DisneyStore.com
In a move that's hopefully a sign of really good things to come, D23 Members are now able to purchase this Medicom 'TRON Mickey' vinyl collectible that was previously available either only in Japan or through importers. Standing proud at 5″, the best news of all is that DisneyShopping.com is selling him for a price of $54.95 which is surprisingly lower than what any of the importers have charged for him. He's already proven to be popular and quickly sold out of stock elsewhere, so grab him while you can here.
End of line.
New Hi-Res Posters from Prince of Persia: When Destiny Meets Courage and Revenge
Walt Disney Studios has just sent us a couple of new posters for Jerry Bruckheimer's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time which match up with a previously released poster that probably looks like it belongs on the cover of GQ more-so than the lobby of your local movie theater.
The new posters feature Jake Gyllenhaal as Dastan under the banner of COURAGE and Ben Kingsley as Nizam with REVENGE. These mesh with the previously released image of Gemma Arterton as Tamina and DESTINY.

700kms; 65 cyclists; 6 days - Paris2Nice gruelling challenge begins!
Au revoir guys. Bon chance! The Paris2Nice group at Dublin airport before heading off.
Dublin, Ireland: After months of tough training and sore limbs finally the day has come for a group of 65 dedicated men and women to get on their bikes to help raise funds for Special Olympics and Cerebral Palsy Ireland. The Special Olympics Paris2Nice cyclists are in France for the 6 day cycle challenge in aid of Special Olympics and Cerebral Palsy Ireland.
700kms of tough terrain will be covered. Cycling champion Stephen Roche will join the group in Nice for the final leg to show his support for Special Olympics.
Ready to go! (l-r) Adrienne Regan, Willie McGonagle, Claire Solan and Mella Kennedy
So far the group has raised a staggering €450,000. The target of €500,000 is well in sight!
The support of Stephen Roche will provide a significant boost to the Paris2Nice cyclists who will be in the saddle up to 6 hours a day from Saturday Sept 29th through to Thursday October 4th.
2012 marks the second year for the Paris2Nice Charity Cycle Challenge and its most successful year to date with a record number of cyclists recruited and funds raised.
"I am really looking forward to encouraging the cyclists over the finish line," says Stephen Roche. "I am very familiar with the Paris2Nice route and know how challenging it is, particularly for those cyclists who are opting to conquer the 25km ascent to Mount Ventoux. It is always wonderful to come together with other cycling enthusiasts to use the joy and power of cycling to help transform people's lives".
No punctures - yet!
"Everyone at Special Olympics wishes the group a safe and enjoyable cycle and we cannot thank them enough for all that they have achieved so far and for what they have raised for Special Olympics and Cerebral Palsy"- Mary Davis, Managing Director Special Olympics Europe Eurasia.

"We are thrilled that Stephen Roche is supporting us. Celebrations will be even bigger now in Nice on October 4th as we applaud the achievements of our cyclists and for being so successful in raising funds. We will also take the opportunity to mark the 25th anniversary of Stephen's outstanding achievement in 1987 when he won the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia and the World Championship."
Special Olympics Athlete Grainne Killeen with Paris2Nice cyclist Denis O'Reilly.
The Paris2Nice cycle challenge will provide opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities and cerebral palsy throughout Ireland and Europe.
Funds raised will be used to purchase much needed equipment, transport, and coaching development as well going towards helping to recruit more athletes for Special Olympics and Cerebral Palsy clubs across Ireland.

Daily OCD: 8/31/10 | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under reviews, Rand Holmes, Peanuts, Patrick Rosenkranz, Moto Hagio, Michael Kupperman, manga, Linda Medley, Jim Woodring, Jason, Drew Weing, Daily OCD, Charles M Schulz | 31 Aug 2010 5:11 PM |
Online Commentary & Diversions:
• Review: "It's hard not to get swept away your first time reading this book through. The gentle tug of the stories' allure that keeps you reading is hard to ignore so it's recommended you give in. Read it all the way through at your own pace. Once you're done, wait a few days or a couple weeks even, and then read it again. A Drunken Dream and Other Stories is a collection of subtleties as much as it is one of short stories. While the plots themselves are straight-forward enough (taking to mind how strange some can be), the emotional tone of each individual experience is where these stories truly pack a memorable punch. [...] Inside and out, Moto Hagio's A Drunken Dream and Other Stories is a mature collection of stories that aims to provoke thought and feeling and succeeds endearingly at just that. A piece of manga history that only becomes more engaging with each subsequent read, A Drunken Dream presents a great opportunity to experience the charms, both subtle and poignant, of Moto Hagio's craft." – Lissa Pattillo, Anime News Network
• Review: "While reading A Drunken Dream and Other Stories, it felt like I was not so much reading the stories as getting submerged in pure book, and rather than try to explain why that is, I just feel the need to force everyone I know to buy it while making vaguely incoherent happy cries. [...] It is a dazzling treat, and will mesmerize you. [...] If this doesn't win some awards it will be a travesty. Wholeheartedly recommended." – Sean Gaffney, A Case Suitable for Treatment
• Tweet of the Week: "Best story in Drunken Dream is the antisocial girl/puppy one, though it's missing the last page where Mr. A kicks the shit out of everybody." – Joe "@snubpollard" McCulloch
• Review: "...[T]his superb retrospective compilation and biography [The Artist Himself: A Rand Holmes Retrospective] featur[es] scads of sketches, reproductions of drawings, cartoons and the paintings he created in his later life..., preserved with a copious collection of his wickedly wonderful underground and alternative comic strips for fans and soon to be devotees. [...] Rand Holmes was a true artist in every sense of the world and mostly produced work intended to change society, not fill his pockets. This book is a wonderful tribute and one any grown-up art lover will marvel at and cherish." – Win Wiacek, Now Read This!
• Review: "As usual with Jason, these stories [in Low Moon ] are blackly funny, with characters whose core motivations are often unknown. [...] He's been a creator of great stories for many years, but there has always been something glancing and surface-y about his works before. Jason has always been deadpan, but he's showing, some of the time, unexpected depths in that pan." – Andrew Wheeler, The Antick Musings of G.B.H. Hornswoggler, Gent.
• Review: "There are books that can be easily reviewed — they have straightforward plots that either make sense or don't, characters whose motives are explicable and definable, and settings that relate to places in the real world. And then there are the works of Jim Woodring, where nothing is explained, nothing is stable, and nothing is like anyone else's work. And it's absolutely goddamn genius. [...] There is no one like Jim Woodring, and comics are immeasurably strengthened by the fact that he's chosen this art-form to work in. [...] If you have any feeling in your soul, Weathercraft will confuse and mesmerize you." – Andrew Wheeler, The Antick Musings of G.B.H. Hornswoggler, Gent.
• Plug: "At the age of seven (right on schedule!) Dylan has discovered Charles Schulz, and has polished off my entire collection of The Complete Peanuts hardcovers, from 1950 to 1976. As a result, by my math, he has read nearly 9,500 daily and Sunday strips. Most published before I was born, let alone before he was born." – Ken Jennings
• Plug (no pun intened): "Michael Kupperman is a funny guy, and pretty weird. His Tales Designed to Thrizzle carries on the madness... This one, however, rises to new heights with its appreciation of DRAINAGE!" – Lichanos, Journey to Perplexity
• Plug: "Drew Weing has finished his nautical adventure Set to Sea, bringing the story neatly back around in a circle. Told in a series of beautifully drawn single panels, Weing's comic is the story of a sea-loving poet who gets shanghaied and learns the real thing is rougher and yet more beautiful than he had imagined. Fantagraphics has published a lovely print volume, and Weing is selling the original panels as well." – Brigid Alverson, Robot 6
• Interview: Our Italophone readers (or readers with the patience to work through a slightly jumbled autotranslation) will want to check out Comicsblog.it's interview with Set to Sea creator Drew Weing
• Coming Attractions: "It seems like it's been forever since the gorgeous hardcover collection of the first set of Linda Medley's Castle Waiting stories. Fantagraphics will release 384 more pages of charming comics about the family-of-choice residents of a falling-down castle along the way." – David Welsh, The Manga Curmudgeon
• Analysis: Looking at the introduction of Helicopter Snoopy in The Complete Peanuts 1977-1978, Mike Sterling recalls when "I began to realize Peanuts was getting a little strange..."

thank you phoronix
also, aren't they planning grub2 for fedora 13? it's at 0% right now.
Phoronix: Fedora 13 Btrfs Rollback Support Moves Along
Back in November one of the features that was talked about as a possibility for Fedora 13 was Btrfs system rollback support. One of the advantages of the Btrfs file-system compared to most other Linux file-systems is support for snapshots...
thank you phoronix
also, aren't they planning grub2 for fedora 13? it's at 0% right now.
@Michael: If you want to take screenshots of Anaconda installer, just run Fedora in a VM.
Anyway. This is great news. btrfs is going to be the killer feature for F13.
F12 were clearly virtualization themed version, which probably is ending up being RHEL 6.
F13 looks like a "clean up" version of Fedora, where they the things they didn't had time for in F12.
Maybe your are right, that there is a pattern.
If I remember right, then F9 had a ton of new features, and F10 had more or less nothing.
I can't recall what F11 had a new features, but I do remember it got emacs with anti aliased fonts.
Can't remember if F12 had anything major.
There are of course always the work that goes into the open source 3D drivers, which is MAJOR for each release, but for the planned improvements Red Hat lay out, I think you are right there is a pattern.
So what can Red Hat have in hold for us for F14 of major new features they want to develop?
lol, OT, but seeing Rahul's full name used as a nick made me think for a second "Spambot".
That's a pretty big deal, and is new. It also might be quite a comprehensive change if this gets pushed. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome.../msg00005.html

veröffentlicht am 23.06.2013 /
KTM's Antoine Meo and Christophe Nambotin continued their almost uninterrupted run of success in the E1 and E3 World Championships in Kastoria Greece at the weekend to seal both 2013 world titles with two rounds of the competition still in hand.
KTM can also add two additional titles to their already impressive honors list as the Manufacturers Award for both E1 and E3 also go to the Austrian offroad specialist.
The two French factory riders have both had an almost unblemished record in the twelfth round of the competition (from a total of 14) and at the Grand Prix of Greece performed no differently. Both picked up double wins in Kastoria to reclaim their world titles won for the KTM factory team in 2012. They can now return to France for the final two rounds in September and enjoy the accolades that will come their way from the enthusiastic French fans.
The weekend started strongly for the KTM riders on Saturday although Antoine Meo had to fight his way back into contention to recover a 12-second deficit after an uncharacteristic crash in Friday night's KTM Super Test. But after a string of strong rides in the first half of the day he had reached his ascendency and was in overall lead by the second Enduro Test with his KTM 250 EXC-F. From then on it was business as usual. "Winning the first test really helped me to catch up and once I got into the lead I just tried to maintain it. Thankfully it all turned out good in the end," Meo remarked after Saturday's test. He was also well supported in E1 this weekend with Spanish teammate Cristobal Guerrero picking up a pair of well deserved podium seconds.
Meanwhile in E3, Christophe Nambotin charged through all of Saturday's tests in blistering form with the exception of an eighth place in the second Extreme test. He didn't even lose his overall lead. On Sunday, he finished third in the opening cross test but retook the lead after the second test onboard the KTM 300 EXC and never looked back from that point in time.
The E2 team of Johnny Aubert and Ivan Cervantes both had their moments of brilliance and disappointments in Kastoria. Cervantes had a substantial crash in the second Enduro Test on Saturday and fought hard to make up the deficit to finish overall fifth with the KTM 350 EXC-F. Aubert also had a problem in the third cross test but was still rewarded at the end of the day with a podium third. On Sunday Cervantes rallied to take the podium third, while Aubert finished fourth after a solid ride with his KTM 450 EXC.
Riders and teams were confronted with searing heat, especially on Saturday negotiating their way across the challenging cross and Enduro tests in the mountains around Kastoria. The extreme test was on the shores of the lake at Kastoria.
Meo's journey to the 2013 title: Won 11 rounds and finished fifth in GP of Spain Round 6
Nambotin's journey to the 2013 title: Won 10 rounds, finished 2nd in Round 1 in Chile and 4th in Round 4 in Argentina

Really beautiful 7 pieces! Could die for the sandals and the blouse!!!
- Dani
Oh boy, that sequined top is bananas! I love it! I hope you added that sucker to your closet, haha! Those sandals are great. I am definitely counting down until the summer sun gets here
Ever since I was a child I have always known what I like and what I don't and fashion has alwyas been a big part of my life. But since I feel so strong about it I sometimes get sick and tired of it too. It is almost like if it would've been easier to be happily unknowing about style. How much easier wouldn't it be if I could just enter a store (or my closet for that matter) and just pick something up and be happy about what ever I find! Since I have a family and I am a fulltime student I simply don't have the time that I wish to go shopping or just find inspiration. But your blog is absolutely AMAZING. I love the way you combine pieces and how it turns out just perfect every single time. I guess I just wanted to say that dropping by here always make me inspired again. Don't ever stop blogging!

Robert Weiss
The raised sides and cutout handles make this square tray ideal for serving drinks and snacks. What's more, its dainty motif, reverse-painted on glass by Peruvian artisans, makes it perfect for keeping on display.
Robert M. Weiss home accessories share a luminous quality--the unique, Old World glow of verre églomisé, or reverse-painted glass. When the Spaniards settled in Peru in the 16th century, they brought many of their household items with them, including reverse-painted Venetian glass mirrors. In time, a core of Peruvian artisans began to recreate these masterpieces locally. Today, every Robert Weiss creation is handcrafted and painted in Peru by artisans who proudly carry on this tradition.

Common sense and compassion for McHenry
I want to take this opportunity to write a letter of support for my friend, John McHenry. Most of you have read the story published last week titled �Teacher facing assault charge.�
What a catchy title that doesn�t fully explain who this individual truly is: a loving husband, a family man, a coach, a Christian, a friend, a rancher, and yes, a teacher. While I don�t discount the seriousness of charges filed against John, we can�t we help but empathize with someone whose home, animals and property were in jeopardy of burning down right in front of his eyes.
Couldn�t the officer who was present use some common sense and compassion to help, rather than hinder? Ten years or so ago the home that had previously been on that property had burned to the ground. Don�t you think a nerve had been struck when a fire again threatened his new home as he tried to rush in to help?
Write a letter or call the local sheriff�s office to voice your support of John McHenry.
