How Jamaica Develops So Many Champion Sprinters

How does a poor Caribbean country of less than 3 million people produce such athletic riches? Improved coaching and a new system to develop raw talent at home have combined with a tradition of seeing sprinting as an inexpensive ticket out of poverty, observers say.

Scientists: Why So Many Tornadoes?

The brutal numbers for the U.S. so far this year: at least 110 dead, 30 killer tornadoes and a preliminary count of 1,191 twisters (which, after duplicate sightings are removed, is likely to go down to around 800).

More people are living in mobile homes in the past few decades, and that has shown up in tornado fatality statistics. In 1970, about one-quarter of all tornado deaths were in mobile homes; now it's about half, Brooks said. In 1970, Census…

Creative Sparks Revolt While Silencing 3rd-Party Programmer

It seems as if Creative really messed up this weekend condemning the actions of Daniel_k. Is this the start of a customer revolt?
Also, a post from Newegg that could quite possibly be commenting on the situation.

@thewriteguy: As long as a donation isn't required to download, creative cannot label the donations as profiting on their work. But that isn't the issue here. They seem to be mad that he is providing features to older cards that they…
