...certain amount of product placement within the show. "We made a conscious decision not to be too aggressive about product placement because we don't want viewers to feel the show is overcommercialized," says Tortorici. If The Days goes into syndication, MindShare and its partners make the lion's share of the profits. While ABC stands to make less, it carries no risk--and the network gets a shot...
...seeking better ways for big cats and humans to coexist. Adapting techniques from Masai tribesmen, who have herded cattle amid predators in this region for centuries, he is teaching ranchers to build taller, stronger bomas--traditional livestock pens made of thorn branches--to stop night-time raids by lions. When the herds are let out to graze during the day, they are accompanied by guards, some armed with rifles, which they fire into the air to keep the lions at a distance.

It seems to have belonged, he explains later, to a previously unknown, intermediate species of this most ferocious marsupial - a link between the cat-sized Priscileo and the leopard-sized Wakaleo - whose lineage coexisted with Aborigines before dying out 35,000 years...
...Senator, Edwards has voted against most tort-reform legislation, bills that would put limits on the right to sue or impose caps on jury awards. And--no surprise--lawyers provided the lion's share of Edwards' presidential-primary-campaign funds. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, of the $14.5 million he raised, $9.3 million came from lawyers or law firms. That is something Bush might have turned into a campaign issue--if the President hadn't got slightly more from them himself ($9.4 million...
