            <description><![CDATA[Sirius has retreated to the horizon, but he refuses to go into the night sky without a prime.  While the Challenge is over, the Dog Days remain...so let's put Sirius to sleep by finding that prime.  It will take another 3-6 days for most results to be paired and declared valid.  Therefore, Challenge rankings will not be finalized until then.The WU deadline was set to 3 days so unpaired results should be cleaned up quickly. For those who are interested in helping clean up these results, just leave your machines crunching 321 LLR for another 3 days.For up-to-date information, please see this forum thread.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Less than 24 hours remain. Sirius refuses to go back to the night.  The only thing that is known to work is by feeding him a prime.  So let's find that prime and bring the Dog Days of Summer to an end.  :D  For more information, please see this forum thread.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[PrimeGrid server was inaccessible for about 30 minutes because the network at the datacenter where PrimeGrid and BOINCstats are hosted was down. The datacenter technicians seem to have brought the network back up, but we have no idea if it's going to stay up (the support phones of the hosting provider are down).
	Update 18:11 UTC: it seems that the power was cut to the building; the servers were forcibly rebooted. I'm checking for stuck system processes now.
	Update 18:15 UTC: validator was stuck; it's fixed now. I think everything is running smooth now.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[For those of you wondering what is the problem with Riesel Sieve, here is a word from BOINC side administrator Bryan:
	Basically, the project creator has disappeared. People have been in contact with him, but we haven't heard any resumption date or even if things will resume. For the time being, I'm focusing my efforts on getting the non-BOINC side of the project up, as it is far easier and requires far less resources. We do not have access to any of the databases or we would have been able to restore things even without the project creator.
	Our wishes for RS to return as soon as possible.]]></description>
