NASCAR Busch Series Champion's Week 2006 -- Day 2 * Kevin Harvick prepares for second career championship banquet * Top-10 drivers enjoy outdoor activities at Disney complex ORLANDO, Fla. (Dec. 8, 2006) -- Friday began with fun and games ...
NASCAR Busch Series Champion's Week 2006 -- Day 2
* Kevin Harvick prepares for second career championship banquet
* Top-10 drivers enjoy outdoor activities at Disney complex
ORLANDO, Fla. (Dec. 8, 2006) -- Friday began with fun and games but eventually will turn to pomp and circumstance when Kevin Harvick (No. 21 U.S. Coast Guard Chevrolet) is officially crowned champion of the NASCAR Busch Series tonight. Harvick will be joined by his Richard Childress Racing team at Disney's Grand Floridian in Orlando, Fla. During the NASCAR Busch Series Awards Banquet he'll celebrate his dominant 2006 performance at the NASCAR Busch Series Awards Banquet.
Harvick put together one of the top seasons in series history. He finished the year with nine wins, 23 top fives and 32 top 10s. His 824-point final margin over second-place Carl Edwards (No. 60 Ameriquest/Henkel Ford) was the largest in series history.
"This has just been an unbelievable season," Harvick said. "Everybody has done an outstanding job all year. Getting to celebrate with my team tonight is something I'm looking forward to."
Harvick and the other NASCAR Busch Series top-10 drivers arrived in Orlando on Wednesday night in advance of two days of media opportunities and other activities. NASCAR Busch Series Champion's Week kicked off Thursday with Media Day at ESPN Club at Disney's BoardWalk. The drivers then took turns spinning "hot laps" for the media with the Richard Petty Driving Experience at Walt Disney World Speedway.
The fun continued Friday morning as the group split time between three activities at Disney properties -- batting practice, a fishing trip and a golf scramble.
Johnny Sauter (No. 00 Yellow Transportation Chevrolet) and championship crew chief Shane Wilson led a group for a few rounds of batting practice at The Ballpark at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex, home of the Atlanta Braves spring training camp. The group was met by Chicago Cubs catcher Michael Barrett, an avid NASCAR fan who took batting practice with the drivers and offered pointers.
After several at-bats, Wilson, who played baseball in high school and had a brief college stint, was content with his performance.
"I made some contact," Wilson said. "It's been 16 years since I've picked up a bat ... and it felt like it."
Apart from Barrett, the top slugger of the day was Sauter.
"I had a great time, and now have a blister to prove it," Sauter said. "It was fun to spend the time with Michael (Barrett) and hopefully we can get him to a race sometime soon since he's such a big NASCAR fan."
In the other activities, champion team owner Richard Childress joined a group that included B.A.S.S. pros for a morning fishing excursion. It came as no surprise when Childress, a noted outdoorsman, was among the first to land a fish. Joe Gibbs Racing teammates J.J. Yeley (No. 18 Vigoro/Home Depot Chevrolet) and Denny Hamlin (No. 20 Rockwell Automation Chevrolet) participated in a nine-hole golf scramble at Osprey Ridge Golf Course, one of five championship courses on the Disney properties.
On-track activities start with Daytona testing ... The preseason officially launches in January with NASCAR Jackson-Hewitt Preseason Thunder at Daytona. The NASCAR Busch Series teams will be split into two groups for their annual test session at Daytona International Speedway. Teams that were in odd positions in the car owner standings following the USG Durock 300 at Chicagoland Speedway on July 8 will test from Jan. 19 - Jan. 21. Teams that were in even positions in the car owner standings will test from Jan. 21 -- Jan. 23. Drivers will hold Q&A sessions with fans on Jan. 20 and Jan. 21 as part of NASCAR Jackson-Hewitt Preseason Thunder Fanfest. FAST FACTS

Justifying the Unjustifiable
Marching in on an endless crusade,
Cleansing our "sin" with the edge of a blade.
Condemning all those who will not conform,
Is it so righteous for our blood to run warm?
Spouting out virtues of peace and love,
You hide your iron fist under a bloodstained glove.
Your ideas are wonderful, your theologies ideal,
But the way you practice them is to kill, lie, and steal.
We know what you're doing, it's completely undeniable;
You desperately try to justify the unjustifiable.

May 9, 2011 at 12:12 pm #1273536

From Slickdeals:
Discount Mags has 3-Years "Backpacker" Magazine Subscription for $9.99 after applying coupon code "BACK3" and/or 3 Years of "Outside" Magazine $10 with code "1040".

Has anyone ever ordered through these folks ?
I figured $10 for 3 years of Backpacker Mag wasn't enough money to worry about if it turned out to be a sham so I took a shot and ordered if from discount magazines but I ordered Outside Mag through Amazon less than 2 weeks ago for significantly more than this price so am seriously thinking about canceling the subscription through Amazon and ordering it from these guys . . .
Thoughts ?May 9, 2011 at 5:14 pm #1734713
Dave TMember
Yes, I have gotten a couple subscriptions through them, and I see this type of sub-$5 price for magazines (including Backpacker) pretty often. The only downside is that it seems to take 2-3 months to get the subscription going, but that's not much slower than the usual process, I don't think. For $10, it's easy to add issues on to an existing subscription and run it out another three years.May 9, 2011 at 6:37 pm #1734765
Rod WolfyBPL Member
Well, sounds like a good deal. I just dropped $20 for 3 years on each. We'll see what happens. I did the Deekins one about 6 months ago and got Backpacker for a year for $3. I keep getting renewal requests from the magazine for $20 a year…
I know a lot of magazines give away many issues as promotional material for various reasons. Go to a marathon and you'll usually be able to get a free issue of Runners World. I suspect that a lot of the industry is like that.May 10, 2011 at 6:19 am #1734925

@dianodaLocale: Chicago, IL
I think it's expired now, I tried signing up for Outside and the code was not working. But Discount Mags offers discounts like this on Backpacker/Outside every couple months (usually there are one or two mags on promotion at any given time) – if you follow Slickdeals you should see it pop up again. I signed up for 3 years of Backpacker the last time around (I think it was $12 total for all three years), my first issue came in the mail a week or two ago – so I can attest that Discount Mags is legit.

Mary: BulletMature
Mary pulled a bullet out of her jacket, mentally reminding herself to ask the costume department for a new one. Not that they would oblige her. If there was one thing the circus was good at, it was saving money. She would just have to bite the bullet.
"Hey Mary!"
The addressed glanced up to see a head of long white-blonde hair bobbing towards her.
"Did you like my show?" Anya asked breathlessly, having just come offstage.
"Uh…" Mary began, "It was…it was nice."
She wasn't accustomed to chatting with the other performers. Most of them were either too strange or thought Mary was too strange.
"Just wait until you see the next one." The acrobat insisted, shifting from one foot to the other with an abundance of energy.
"If it was anything like today's, it'll probably be a hit." Mary replied, remembering the audience's deafening roar.
Anya smiled.
"Thanks Mary! Your shows are always amazing. A little creepy, but I like them." She said, adding the last part quickly.
Mary felt the sight of wet pavement flash in her vision.
Don't be afraid, chile. The Lor' loves you, and that love is stronger than fear.
"Thanks…but they're more my father's than mine." Mary said slowly, "He taught me everything I know."
Anya cocked her head to the side.
"Oh? I guess we have something in common then." She began, her enthusiasm somewhat deflated, "Most of my tricks came from my sister…"
Mary tried to ignore the hint of grief in the performer's expression.
"Does she work in the circus?" she asked, "I don't think I've met her."
There was a brief, uneasy silence before Anya replied.
"No, Sonya, um, she died." She started, "It was a long time ago. It's why I joined the circus actually."
Mary blinked, stunned.
"I'm…I'm so sorry. That must have been really hard for you."
"You don't know the half of it."
Mary felt the eyes return to her mind, the pleading, suffering eyes.
"I'm sure she's watching over you, wherever she is."
Anya laughed quietly.
"Most likely. She's probably telling me when I mess up in my routine like she always did."
She looked lost in thought for a moment before turning to look at Mary again, clearly eager to change the subject.
"Your dad must be really proud of you."
Proud. To be forgiven would be enough.
"I'd like to hope he is." Mary tried to smile, her face paint stretching, "A girl can dream."
"Has he ever come to see you perform?"
"To the circus?" Mary asked absentmindedly, "No…he never really got the chance, I guess."
"Oh." Anya said abruptly, "Um. Is he..?"
Mary remembered the rain.
"Oh I'm sorry Mary." Anya soothed, "I guess we really are more similar than we thought huh? And it only took us years to figure it out."
"Yeah. Yeah, I guess you're right." she replied, tossing the bullet into the air.
It rose up, arcing gracefully before returning to her palm like a golden bird. A bird of prey.

Or perhaps that's not possible in this 24/7 news/comment/blog/tweet age in which we all now live. Hyperbole rules. Frenzy is the norm. Memories are short. Brown's gaffe -- or "Bigotgate", as it has already become known -- is not the end of the world, despite what his opponents might have us believe. The Telegraph's Benedict Brogan says this "might finish off Mr Brown altogether". ConservativeHome's Tim Montgomerie says it is "devastating for Brown". Really? You mean the financial crisis, the recession, the expenses scandal, the European election results, the Purnell resignation, the letter to Jacqui Janes, three failed coup attempts and "bullygate" weren't enough? As I point out in my column in tomorrow's magazine, Brown -- to the fury of his disbelieving critics -- is the great survivor. It is amazing that he, and the Labour Party, are still standing in this election -- and perhaps on the verge of becoming the largest single party in a hung parliament. Who'd have thought it, eh? Will Bigotgate set him back, especially with the third and final leaders' debate tomorrow, in which the PM will have wanted to focus on the economy? Maybe. But it is high time we recognised that "public opinion" is not the same as "pundit opinion". "Bullygate" in particular showed that voters didn't seem to react as Andrew Rawnsley, and his supporters in the Tory press, assumed they would. Then there is the Prescott punch in the 2001 election campaign to consider. Did that wreck his careeer? Nope. As the Guardian's Andrew Sparrow notes: These incidents are often not as damaging as they look. John Prescott was worried that his career was over after he punched a voter in 2001. But now he seems to regard that as something to be proud of. He referred to it in the title of his autobiography, and jokes about it frequently. Journalists have short memories. Today, they laugh about Prezza and his punch; back then they were baying for his blood, with newspapers extolling his egg-throwing opponent as a "mild-mannered giant". The Indie's Colin Brown, in his biography of Prescott, reminds us of the hysteria -- both inside the Labour Party and in the media: There was mayhem in the open-plan war room, as staff ran from one television to another, and tuned into the BBC, Sky and the 24-hour news programmes to try to catch the first pictures of the incident. Austin told an official to start videoing the news. Adam Boulton, political editor of Sky News, who was broadcasting live about the incident from their Millbank studio, received a call from an official in Labour's Millbank HQ half a mile away. "A press officer at Millbank said I would be sued for libel," he told me. "They would have denied it, if we didn't have the evidence." That threat died as Sky News began broadcasting film of the incident. Boulton, who was acting as the anchorman in London for the election, told viewers it was so serious that Prescott could be forced to resign. But Brown's camp stood by Prescott, and were determined to get ahead of the news by issuing a statement claiming it was self-defence. Lance Price, a former BBC political correspondent in charge of the party's media strategy, refused to put out any statement before they had seen the pictures with their own eyes. But the party's pollster Philip Gould was convinced that the public would never stand for a deputy PM who went round hitting people and said that Labour's poll rating would be floored by Prescott's punch. Meanwhile, a shaken and downcast Prescott telephoned Alastair Campbell on his mobile. Campbell took the call as Blair was about to record an ITV election programme, Ask Tony Blair. "It's John," said the gruff familiar voice on the end of the line. Campbell, who put the story in his one-man show when he left Downing Street, recalled there was an ominous silence. With the DPM that always meant there was a problem. "I've hit someone," said Prescott. "What?" asked Campbell, who could not believe his ears. Campbell was incredulous as Prescott told him what had happened. Campbell decided not to tell the Prime Minister until his show was over. Prescott's friends say Campbell told Prescott he thought he would have to apologise. Prescott snapped back: "You didn't apologise when you hit that lad on The Guardian." He was referring to the incident when Campbell, then political editor of the Daily Mirror, had punched Michael White, the political editor of The Guardian, in the Daily Mirror office at the Commons when the Mirror's ogreish owner, Robert Maxwell, had been found dead at sea. White bad popped his head round the Mirror's door and playfully suggested the paper's headline should be "Bob, Bob, Bobbing Along". Campbell, harassed, did not see the funny side. As Blair, Campbell and Blair's gatekeeper, Anji Hunter, drove back from the studio, the grim view on board was that Prescott was in serious trouble. Blair asked Hunter what she thought. She had no hesitation in telling the PM it was terrible. "Middle-class England will not understand it," she said. Campbell had a lot of time for Prescott, and had helped defend him when the press had been intruding into his private life over his wife Pauline's love child. But landing a punch in a general election campaign was, Campbell thought, beyond the limit. The consensus in the Blair camp was that at least Prescott should apologise and some thought he should resign to try to limit the damage to the campaign, which was partly based on a promise to deal with yobbish behaviour. Brown was more cautious, and delayed forming an opinion until they could get a clearer view of what exactly had happened. While the debate went on at Millbank over what they should do, Prescott's career hung in the balance. › Top five political microphone gaffes Mehdi Hasan is a contributing writer for the New Statesman and the co-author of Ed: The Milibands and the Making of a Labour Leader.

I start walking towards her. She needed help. Even though she is a peasant, she still deserves the right treatment.
You run to her. The boy has her arms, and is dragging her to who-knows-where. You tell the boy to drop her.
He looks up and gives you a smug smile, then drops her arms and leaves her lying on the ground. Then, he runs off.

New York
A native Brooklynite raised on Long Island, Christina's eclectic love of music stemmed from her flower child Mother and doo-wop singing Father, who filled the car with their musical stylings on family road trips. She surely knew Jim Morrison and Dion and the Belmonts before Barbie and Rainbow Brite, and this passion for music accelerated the moment she hit the central New York airwaves as a radio DJ in college. Her appreciation of all genres encouraged her to broadcast a wide variety of tunes and, years later, led her to a career in music production for commercials, as the broad spectrum of daily creative briefs enabled her to quench this musical A.D.D.

In regards to Guns, Germs, and Steel, what are five factors contributing to the rise of food production?
1 Answer | Add Yours
- Wild foods become less available. Hunter-gatherers kill off too many large animals and that makes that lifestyle less sustainable.
- More wild plants that could be domesticated became available at about this same time.
- Technological advances allowed people to harvest and store greater quantities of food that they cultivated.
- Human populations rise. It's not clear how much this caused food production and how much food production caused it, but researchers believe there's a connection. As populations rose, they needed to have better food supplies and started farming.
- The farm societies had larger populations and could drive out neighboring hunter-gatherers.
This stuff all comes from Chapter 6 of the book.

JACKSONVILLE - When running back Fred Taylor walked into Jacksonville's locker room Monday, he expected to see Byron Leftwich's former space empty.
No chance. First-round draft pick Reggie Nelson had already settled into the spot.
"I was like, 'Damn, somebody's in it already,"' Taylor said.
While the Jaguars are ready to move on after Leftwich's release, some players are still trying to regroup following the biggest and most stunning decision in coach Jack Del Rio's tenure.
"I was frustrated," Taylor said. "Byron getting cut further confirmed that this is a dog-eat-dog business. We're living in the belly of the beast and sometimes that beast has to regurgitate. That's what happened. It's tough."
A few players refused to comment on the team's decision to sever ties with Leftwich after four injury-filled seasons.
Linebacker Mike Peterson swiped his finger and thumb across his mouth to signify his lips were sealed. Defensive tackle Marcus Stroud would only answer questions about this weekend's opponent, Tennessee.
"When something like that happens, it's something that you can't even put into words," receiver Matt Jones said. "When it happens that late and nobody sees it coming, you can't even describe it."
The Jaguars announced Friday they had decided to part ways with Leftwich. Unable to find someone to trade with, they released him a day later.
The move saved Jacksonville $5.145 million against the 2007 salary cap, but it also created numerous questions about the timing, the motivation and the effect it will have on the team.
The timing raised the most eyebrows. If Del Rio had any inkling that Leftwich wasn't the guy, then why not make the move in the offseason and let backup David Garrard get as many repetitions as possible with the new offense and with the starters?
Or at the very least, why not tell Leftwich he was competing for the job?
Neither happened, and the Jaguars changed starting quarterbacks nine days before the season opener, which surprised nearly everyone in the locker room.
"I didn't see it coming. No way, no how," Taylor said. "I needed one of those telescopes that goes to Mars."
Del Rio's motivation also was questioned.
Was the move the culmination of four years of frustration from watching Leftwich sit out so many games? Or did it have something to do with the strained relationship between Leftwich and Del Rio?
The two hardly spoke because Leftwich thought Del Rio never handled any quarterback situation properly, and Del Rio believed Leftwich lied to him several times about his health.
Taylor had another theory. "Byron was in an uphill climb from Day 1," Taylor said. "A lot of people around here were sort of anti-Byron. They never got over the (Mark) Brunell situation."
Leftwich replaced Brunell early in the 2003 season. Brunell, who holds just about every passing record in team history, was traded a few months later.
Now, it's Garrard's turn to replace Leftwich.
Several players embraced the switch, supporting Del Rio's claim that Garrard's mobility gives the team an added dimension that could help win more games.
"Whatever's going to help us win games, that's my preference," receiver Ernest Wilford said. "Obviously, coach thought David was a better fit for this team. That's who we've got to rock and roll with."
Added receiver Dennis Northcutt: "Your focus is winning football games. Everything else, when it comes, knock it off the shoulder and keep going. We can't have nothing distracting us. We have to keep our focus and move forward, no matter what happens."
The Jaguars do believe they will get past Leftwich's release with time, and, maybe more quickly, with wins.
"It's like a high school girlfriend (dumping you)," Taylor said. "The initial shock might get you, but eventually you get over it."

FIREFIGHTERS tackling a blaze in a pet shop had to give oxygen to a menagerie
of dangerous beasts including Europe's biggest ANACONDA.
Six giant tortoises, a Burmese python, an assortment of 20 lizards and ten
Nile CROCODILES were also rescued from the burning store.
Around 20 firefighters from three fire stations risked life and limb as they
saved the ferocious creatures from the Reptile Reserve in Rainham, Essex.
The shop was decked out with jungle plants and rescuers told how they crawled
though the thick vegetation shrouded in smoke to rescue the exotic
Firefighters retrieved the whopping 23ft-long anaconda, iguanas, monitor
lizards and four pythons between 6ft and 10ft long, and gave them oxygen to
help their breathing.
Steve King, Blue Watch manager from Wennington Fire Station, said it was one
of the strangest rescues he had been called to.
He said: "The property had a complicated layout with branches and leaves
hanging down.
"The jungle effect and the thick smoke meant our crews had to work hard in
extremely difficult conditions to rescue the animals and keep the property
"Firefighters were crawling around in the dark smoke, knowing there were
potentially dangerous animals about – it was one of the strangest jobs we
have ever attended."
The blaze was brought under control and the cause of the fire is currently
under investigation.
No animals escaped, but five lizards sadly perished in the blaze.
The surviving animals have been relocated to the owner's other shop in the
same road.
Nile crocodiles, which are native to Africa, can grow up to 16ft long while
the giant tortoise can grow up to 4ft long and weigh a massive 47st in its
native tropical islands habitats.

Hi there, I've been a back ground lurker for a little while now and just wanted to say 'Hi'. I'm in the process of selling my 1996 E39 525tds. It's been a great car but with no fold down seats it's a little limited in what it can carry. I'm going to be buying either a 320d, 330d, 520d or 530d touring if I can convince the misses that we really need one and not a small Euro hatchback
Needless to say I've read countless threads on the pros and cons of each of the cars mentioned and am just trying to guage what I could buy for £3000 in the current market
Cheers and all the best.


text: Kiper Mock Draft Saturday, April 16, 2005 10 AM Eastern Time Rules & Procedures We will be starting in the "Chat Room" bright and early Saturday (16th) morning at 10 AM EST with the #1 pick belonging to San Francisco. Each GM will have 15 minutes to make their selection by replying to the Round 1 thread and posting your pick. If no pick is made within your 15 minute timeframe, your fellow GM's will discuss amongst themselves in the chat room and decide your team's pick by analyzing your needs as well as BPA strategy. They will make a logical choice that we hope you feel will be the right one. All Draft discussions will be held in the chat room. So please, no posting on the Draft Thread. We strongly recommend that if you foresee an attendance problem that you choose a partner to make picks for you. The administrators have no problem as to when a partner is named as long as we are notified before time of selection. Trades: 1 No trading veteran players. 2. Only draft picks may be traded. 3. You may trade future draft picks (i.e. 2006, 2007 draft picks, etc.) 4. Compensatory picks cannot be traded. 5.. A trade will not be official until notification from both parties has been received by the administrators via PM. We recommend you refer to a pick value chart, which can be found in the Draft Zone, and try to get as near equal value as possible when trading picks. Time Limits: Round 1 - 15 mins. Round 2 - 10 mins Round 3 - 5 mins Round 4 - 5 mins. NOTE: Round 4 will be optional. A decision will be made on draft day by the administrators whether we proceed with a Rd. 4. These changes were made in order to make the Mock Draft move at an exciting pace and make it feel as close as possible to the real thing, the actual NFL Draft. NOTE: Using the 3hr selection time it took 12 hours to do the first Rd in the Mock draft last Saturday. Using the 15 min selection time on Sunday we completed 3 rounds in slightly less than 8 hours.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 438878
megaraid SAS driver corruption on 126.96.36.199-29.el5rt.i386 kernel
Last modified: 2008-05-27 18:04:26 EDT
Description of problem:
This bug is eeriely similar to #250266 . When running .6.24.3-29.el5rt.i386 on a
dell-pe1950 machine, megasas driver gets corrupted after the machine does some
work. You can make it happen with:
cat /dev/sdX > /dev/null
If the kernel is booted with noapic option, this doesn't happen. I am attaching
portions of dmesg with the relevant messages.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot with 220.127.116.11-29.el5rt.i386 kernel on a hardware that has megasas
2. run "cat /dev/sdX > /dev/null"
Actual results:

Eekk. Sorry about creating a confusion, I guess I still don't know small
cornercases of BZ workflow such as this. I didn't realize this. Anyway, feel
free to change the status of the bug and just let me know when it goes in main
-rt tree and i'll test it.
It's now in kernel-rt-184.108.40.206-42.el5rt.

Ok in that case, I'll just revive this bug. There are some issues with -42 , I
can't even get this to be tested. Here are some backtraces from dmesg:

I opened a new bug 442595 for the BUG in -42, as it does not look related to the
ioapic quirk.
so does your 32-bit ioapic quirk patch fix this bug?
Gurhan, does -47 boot on the machine? And does the ioapic quirk help?
(In reply to comment #11)
> Gurhan, does -47 boot on the machine? And does the ioapic quirk help?
I've never tried -47 kernel on this machine. I'll be PTO until april 29th and
be in the office on the 30th.. i doubt i'll get any chance to try this till
then, especially given that that machine has no remote management console set
up. Will update the BZ once i try it.
Update as a response to clark's email on rt list.. This issue is still open I
didn't get a chance to try -47 kernel before the office move . The box is not
hooked up in the new lab yet, i am hoping that it'll be today. Once it's online
i'll test this one.
-47 kernel booted fine.. and i ran "cat /dev/sda > dev/null" 50 times without
any damage.

Analysis of 170,000 Kickstarter Campaigns Reveals 3 Fundamentals of a Crowdfunding Success
Today's Most Read
Catherine Clifford
March 21, 2016
There's no magical "open sesame" key that will guarantee a crowdfunding campaign reaches its goal. But that doesn't mean that success is a game of chance, either.
Researchers at University of Buffalo School of Management found that successful crowdfunding campaigns share fundamental similarities after they analyzed more than 170,000 Kickstarter campaigns that ran between the 2009 launch of the Brooklyn-based platform and the end of 2015. Only U.S.-based campaigns with a goal of more than $1,000 were included in the study. The research is currently under review for inclusion in an academic journal, but it hasn't yet been officially published.
Below are the three leading indicators of successful donation-based crowdfunding campaigns, according to the research, which was a collaboration between Yong Li, an associate professor of strategy and entrepreneurship; Supradeep Dutta, assistant professor of operations management and strategy; and Christopher Courtney, a doctoral student.
1. Good photos and video
Unlike more traditional investment situations, a potential backer of a crowdfunding campaign is making a decision without any in-person, face-to-face time with an entrepreneur. The crowdfunding page has to do all the selling.
"Private equity investors follow a stringent due diligence process to assess the quality of a startup, while crowdfunding backers rely more on the information on the campaign's webpage," says Li in a statement announcing the results of the research.;

24: HealingMature
Dechar was a pup again, and with his front paws resting against a tall tree, he was beckoning a very young Oliana to climb down.
"Come join me, Dechar! Climb the tree! Can't you climb?"
"No," he answered. "I can't do it. Please come down, Oli!"
Oliana laughed. "I'm not coming down until you climb this tree, Dechar!" She folded her arms in defiance, only to lose her balance and swing off the branch supporting her. She let out a scream.
"No!" Dechar yelled as she plummeted toward the ground. She was now much higher in the air than he had initially thought.
Well before she would have hit the snow beneath, however, Dechar was shocked to see Oliana transform into a raven and begin to soar through the air above him.
"Can't you fly, you silly wolf? Come join me," she repeated, flapping her wings.
Dechar became very upset. "I can't!" he yelled. He was a fully grown wolf again. He watched as the black bird floated down to meet him.
"Oh Dechar," she shook her head. "If only you would believe that you are capable of flight. Then you could join me."
He glanced off to the side to see red blood staining the white snow. It came from the corpse of the man he'd killed in the dungeon.
Dechar awoke from his nightmare in a cold sweat. He noticed immediately that the weather was surprisingly spring-like in this area, which jogged his memory. He lay on a bed of moss, remembering the events of the previous night. Neither of the Dechi had found the strength to reach the pools Ylva had located. They had had the fortune, however, of finding a small reservoir of water in the hollow of a tree.
Ylva knew a little about survival in the wild, and when she had seen ants crawling into the hole, she had demanded Dechar's shirt, dipping it far down and squeezing drops into her mouth with vigor. She could taste something like the scent of an animal mixed in with the liquid, but she was far too parched to care. After having dipped the shirt several times, she finally had allowed Dechar to have the few remaining drops. They had found a place to sleep shortly thereafter, resolving to reach the greater water source the next day.
Dechar raised himself and looked for his companion, who had uprooted some of the moss for a blanket and was still asleep nearby.
"Ylva," he said. No answer. "Ylva!" She jerked awake and gave Dechar a blaming look. "I'm sorry to wake you," Dechar said, "but we really should get moving, don't you think?" It was still a little dark outside, but he did not want to waste any time in finding Oliana.
Ylva did not reply but threw the moss off of her and stretched her arms before rising. Dechar's wound had stopped bleeding the night before, but he lifted his shirt to check it again.
"You're lucky it was so superficial," Ylva said, noticing his action. "Bleeds a lot initially but shouldn't cause you any real problems, so long as it doesn't fester." They set off again; the pools weren't far now.
It was still morning when they reached a magnificent sight. The bluish-green pools, festooned in mist, were translucent, and the pair could see that the water ran deep through a network of underwater caverns with glistening rocks at the base. A powerful geyser-like spring fed all of the pools, gushing from a rocky slope and cascading in a circle of tiny waterfalls to meet the basins all around.
They ran the last few paces to the water and began to passionately imbibe. Dechar had had the prudence to hesitate a moment before drinking so that he could see how Ylva drank; he had considered that it might be frowned upon to stick his tongue in the water in this form.
As he scooped the liquid in his strangely human hands, he felt its warmth, and brought it to his lips. He sensed an instant rejuvenation coursing through his body that startled him. He looked over to Ylva again to see if she had experienced the same thing.
Indeed she had, and Dechar noticed that her very build had a sturdier look to it than he had seen in the frail young prisoner the day before. He lifted his shirt to find no trace of a stab wound at all. The pair looked at each other in wonder and delight, and Dechar saw Ylva smile for the first time since they had met.

West Indies innings was revived when Pollard came out all guns blazing ably supported by Darren Bravo. Pollard scored 74-ball 85 which included eight sixes and five fours. Bravo scored 51 runs off 108 balls. (Getty Images)
Chasing 218 to win, Bangladesh were also off to a bad start with Kemar Roach picking up three quick wickets, including that of opener Tamim Iqbal who was clean bowled. (AP Photos)
After the early jolts, captain Mushfiqur Rahim (44) and vice-captain Mahmudullah (48) combined once again putting up a vital 91-run stand in just 76 balls to put the hosts back on track in the run chase.
Though West Indies came back well scalping few quick wickets late in the contest Nasir Hossain (39*) kept his calm till the end to ensure that Bangladesh chased down 217 and won the match by two wickets to clinch the series 3-2.
After being put into bat, West Indies top order again failed to deliver as they slumped to 17 for 3 in under 10 overs. Shohag Gazi picked up the first wicket of Kieran Powell for 11. (Getty Images)

The biggest fall in the market since 11 September was triggered by the controversial speech on Saturday by president Chen Shui-bian. China's politicians, who regard Taiwan as an illegal breakaway state, warned that any move to declare independence would be disastrous for Taiwan. Any sign of pro-independence policies results in threats from China's leaders, often accompanied by military manoeuvres in the Taiwan Straits.
While few investors expected military action, and other Taiwanese ministers played down the significance of the remarks, there were fears that expanding business ties between the two countries might be threatened.
Shares in shipping giant Evergreen Marine fell 7% on concerns about the outlook for its burgeoning cross-Straits business. Computer components maker Hon Hai Precision, which sources most of its production in China, fell 6.5%.
A mid-morning rally in Tokyo fizzled out under the weight of earnings concerns. At the close, the Nikkei 225 Average was off 4.73 points at 9704.93.
Uniqlo stores group Fast Retailing tumbled almost 4% on reports that sluggish sales will drive profits well below the company's forecasts. July sales in Japan slumped 40%, marking 10 months of continuous decline by the group, which is building up a chain of stores in Britain. A bid to boost sagging sales by slashing prices toasted shares in the locally-quoted arm of McDonald's, and they fell almost 2% to their lowest level since the company floated 12 months ago.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng index continued to ease, falling 82.59 points to 9903.13 as investors dumped shares in exporters, and awaited half-year results from banking giant HSBC Holdings, which earns about half its profits in the territory. Traders were braced for grim news on bad loans as bankruptcies and credit card defaults continue to soar. Some analysts are forecasting a 21% drop in profits, the bank's shares crept up 0.25 cents to HK$85.50.
British reports that the 46% stake in Thistle Hotels held by Singapore's BIL International was in play sent shares in the investment group up more than 7%. Most other stocks were in retreat on US economic worries, and the Straits Times index dropped 23.92 points to 1485.97.
The dimming outlook for chip-makers pushed South Korea's Kospi index down 22.59 points to 678.09. Fears that the US is about to slide back into recession hit resource shares in Sydney, where the All Ordinaries index closed down 42.3 points at 2960.5. Among the heaviest losers was BHP Billiton, down 2%, while News Corporation was also under pressure, and tumbled 4%. Insurance giant AMP fell almost 2.5% following last week's downgrade by Standard & Poor's.
The regional weakness sent Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur Composite index down 0.43 to 719.1 while Thailand's SET index slid 37.4 points to 363.06. Indonesia's Jakarta Composite gave up 7.85 points at 448.47.

How'd you like to save time writing and updating your sites? It's easy! Make your content "evergreen." Evergreen content is up-to-date whether it's consumed now, next month, or three years into the future.
It's important to create systems that make it easy to access and use what we learn. Here are three of my favorite hacks for storing ideas for my blog posts, classes, books, and newsletter.
Guest blogger Cynthia Morris Here suggests ways to make your book reviews less onerous and more effective. Above all, she says try a recommendation rather than a critical review.
Guest blogger Cynthia Morris discusses how writing about books can help us both personally and professionally and provides four reasons to consider reviewing books for your blog or newsletter.
More than two dozen artists spent the last month tweaking and writing their way to a better blog in the Blog Triage class I teach with Cynthia Morris. Here's a look at our graduates' blogs. Many of them focused on one area or another and have the knowledge and motivation to finish up on their own.
Consider becoming an arts writer/reviewer of other artists' work. Writers are needed in the art ecosystem as critics and reviewers shape taste and are the gatekeepers that decide what is worthy of attention. Most importantly, the more you write about any art, the better you will become at writing about your own art.
When you write for the Web, make sure your main points are easy to find and that your text is scannable. People will look briefly at a blog post to see if it's of interest to them. If they see nothing immediately, they might leave without reading.
Do you struggle with writing blog posts? If you're like a lot of artists we've had in the Blog Triage class, you blog because someone (probably me) told you it was a good idea. But you've never really gotten the hang of it. You fight your way through blogging.

Every time I read about the fun people have at Starfury Conventions I get even more excited about my first con next year – Serenity Falls. This latest one was the third annual Vampire Ball with guests from Buffy, Angel and True Blood. It seems the guests are as up for fun as the attendees.
Here is a write up from someone who went. If you're ever around for a Starfury event I strongly suggest you try and attend.

This Day in Crisis History: Sept. 4, 2008
Things were getting ugly for the hedgies.
The first signs that something was wrong in the financial markets, something was really, really wrong, had shown up in the summer of 2007 in the hedge funds, which thanks for their rapid adoption of electronic, quantitative trading strategies had grown far more interconnected than people realized. Once the models started going bad, they all went bad, at once.

I hope that you are all enjoying the summer break and having time to spend with each other. The school year is such a busy time, with so much for everyone to do. So, if you can, take these opportunities to do things together with your family and friends.
In my previous summer mailers, I have had lots of construction and programmatic information to share with you. This summer, there are no changes from last year. Our big changes this year involve our administrative staff. Since my letter last summer, Fremont had two assistant principals get promotions and depart our school. While these new positions were well deserved, we were sad to see them go and it created lots of juggling for staff last year.
This year, our team looks to be quite strong with our changes and our two new additions. Changed from last year, Noe Ochoa has moved from his role as a Dean of Students to become one of our assistant principals. He served in this role on an interim basis last school year and was awarded the position officially for next school year. Filling in for the departures on our team, Fremont will have two new administrators. Susan Rocha will fill in our remaining assistant principal opening. She comes to us from Cupertino High School where she has worked for the past 20 years as an English teacher. In the open Dean of Students, Sydney Fernandez will be moving from Ralston Middle School to join the Fremont team. For the past 8 years, Mrs. Fernandez has been teaching English and ELD. We are so excited to have both of these esteemed educators joining the Fremont team.
This year we will send out our summer packet via Chalk Schools. Through this link, you will be able to access all documents that include information about the school map, school policies, ASB Card and Yearbook, Bus Passes, Hot Lunch Program, Locker Policy and Procedures PE, sports, and student parking. We understand that we may have some parents and guardians who do not have an email address, please refer to our FHS website (www.fhs.fuhsd.org) by selecting the 'Our School' link at the top of the web page and then the sub-link of '2016-17 Start of School Information. This year, we will continue to send communications though ChalkSchools. With this basic tool we can send 2-way digital forms and communications directly to your email (information can be viewed or signed and returned electronically if needed). You will not need a login, but will be sent a link or pdf's directly to your email. This tool helps to quickly deliver and receive information and it will also dramatically decrease mailing and paper costs, which enables us to be good stewards of our resources.
Within the next week, you will be sent additional information for Registration Days on August 8th & 9th via Chalk Schools.
I look forward to another productive and successful school year. Thinking ahead to the fall, I want to make sure that you have two important dates on your calendars: Monday, August 15 is the first day of school and Thursday, September 15 will be Back-to-School-Night.
Enjoy the rest of the summer break! We will be back in the swing of school activities before you know it.

Reggie: Return
I ran with no concern of loosing energy. I was free, running wild. I had never felt this way before. I sprinted through the woods, swinging on branches and jumping over rocks. I climbed to the highest peak in the city and stared out into the wilderness. It was a beautiful city with greenery and urban co existing as one. I howled loudly and passionately. My mighty call echoed through the woods and attracted some unwanted attention.
It hit me. Hit me hard. The force crashed into my side and sent my sprawling back into a dying tree. My muscular bulk snapped it clean in to. I groaned and stared through weary eyes at my attacker. Before I knew it he pounced on me I pinned my down with his claws and snarled at me with his ferocious blood stained teeth. The beast stopped his assault and I stared into his navy eyes. They were exactly the same as mine.
"Ronnie?" I laughed. The wolf beast in front of me howled much like I had done then before my eyes turned back into my brother. "It is you Ronnie!"
I embraced him with a hug then asked the many questions in my mind
"Its not a full moon how did you turn into a werewolf?"
Ronnie laughed and instantly turned back into the black coated wolf that stood on its human like hind legs. He was a beast and a monster but I loved him. He turned back into Ronnie and walked me back from the mountain. On the journey I learned the shocking secret of how a werewolf could transform whenever they wanted to.
