ASHLAND – Anna the German shepherd was sinking into the frigid depths of the Sudbury River on Monday when Officer Chris Alberini, anchored by a lifeline, crawled onto the ice and pulled the 5-year-old dog to safety.
"He went across the ice like a superhero and saved her," said Anna's owner, Sean O'Malley. "It's amazing."
Alberini, along with Officer Michael Dionne and Animal Control Officer Al Johnson, saved Anna after she fell through the ice on Union Street around 3 p.m., Sgt. Greg Fawkes said.
"It was really, really impressive," Fawkes said.
O'Malley said when he left for work in the morning Anna was in the house. He guessed that the dog went through the doggie door of his Katherine Drive home, jumped the fence and ran off. The point in the river where she fell through is about two to three miles from his home.
After getting a call, police went to the river and found the dog struggling to get back onto the ice. Initially, they planned on waiting for the fire department to arrive with rescue equipment, but Alberini, who is partnered with Dax, the department's police dog, feared Anna would drown before they arrived.
"He tied a 30-foot-leash around himself and Officer Dionne and (Johnson) held the other end as he crawled onto the ice," said Fawkes. "He tried lassoing the dog with another leash, and she was smart enough to bite it and try to pull herself out, but she couldn't do it. He finally was able to use the animal control officer's pole (with a lasso on the end) and pulled her out."
O'Malley said he had no idea anything was happening until after Anna was safe.
"I'm just fortunate that the call was my dog was fine," said O'Malley. "She's one of our family members."
Anna seems to be doing fine after her ordeal, O'Malley said.
"She's doing great," he said. "She's sitting on her bed looking exhausted. She had a long day, and the officers did, too."

Why I Teach – Kathy Chappelle, M.A.
In October 2012, six members of the School of Medicine faculty were recognized by their peers for excellence in teaching. This Q&A series profiles recipients of these 2012 "Faculty Excellence in Education Award" and asks the question, "Why do you teach?" (along with a few other questions).
June 12, 2013
Kathy Chappelle graduated in 1975 with a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Oregon, a B.A. in Education and English from Portland State University in 1982 and an M.A. in English Language and Literature from the University of Chicago in 1988, She came to the OHSU School of Medicine Dean's Office in 1992, where she played a key role in the development of the innovative Principles of Clinical Medicine (PCM) curriculum and acted as the PCM course administrator for the UME program. She was appointed to the faculty of the Department of Family Medicine in 1998, and is Assistant Professor and Director of Curriculum Development. Her personal interests include writing, photography, cultural studies and Jungian psychology. She is a candidate for a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and will be leaving OHSU at the end of June for a doctoral internship at George Fox University, including a clinical placement with the Providence Milwaukie Family Medicine Residency clinic.
Q&A with Kathy Chappelle, M.A.
Why do you teach?
I began my career as a high school English teacher. I first got into teaching because I had a passion for my subject, and I loved being able to instill an appreciation for literature and writing in my students and assist them in moving toward their goals in life. Although I initially came to medical education by chance, I stayed with it not because of a love of medicine per se, but because I found it inspiring to be working at the center of the OHSU major curriculum reform in the 1990s. At the time, the OHSU School of Medicine and the physicians I worked with were on the cutting edge of a national paradigm shift in medical education focusing on preparing physicians for more patient-centered medical care.
How has developing medical education curriculum influenced the way you teach?
I think I'm more organized and focused in my thinking now as far as presenting material. As a beginning English teacher, I was totally overwhelmed – grammar, spelling, the art of writing, literature appreciation – what do you start with? It took me awhile to figure out how to teach a variety of subject matter to students at various skill levels in an integrated manner. What I've appreciated in medical education is that you can take one topic, whether or not it seems connected, and the medical students make those connections and hold you to making it relevant for wherever they are in their medical education.
What are the top challenges for educators today at OHSU?
I think trying to design new curriculum in the midst of so many unknowns regarding our future systems of health care is extremely difficult. Decisions regarding what to change and what to retain will not be an easy task unless we have a clear image of the skills we wish our future graduates to have and a clear methodology for how we are going to teach those skills. Perhaps I'm a bit conservative in my views, but I value proven ("evidence-based") learning methods. I'm hoping that with all the talented minds at work on the new vision for our medical school curriculum that OHSU will make meaningful improvements while still retaining those portions of the medical school curriculum that have already proven to be very effective, such as our first- and second-year preceptorship, our rural training offerings, and our already robust emphasis in the curriculum on the behavioral and social sciences.
What do you see as the future direction in education?
The obvious answer is that we will continually need to integrate the use of new technology in both learning methodologies and in the practice of medicine. I think there is a lot of material that can be taught in medical school online, asynchronously, and in more creative ways than with standard lecture and test format. That said, as a psychologist and as a teacher, I believe that there are some aspects of both medical education and patient care that cannot be adequately addressed outside the context of meaningful human relationships.
What makes a good teacher?
A good teacher is someone who is fascinated with learning. I think that people can be very effective teachers when they are not very far ahead of their students. That's why our 4th year students in the medical education program are ideal teachers for our 1st and 2nd years in the same program – they remember that "I had problems getting my mind around this topic, too." As we think about future directions in education, I believe 4th years could be used as teachers in a formalized way such as requiring them to teach a block; it's good preparation for them as well because a big part of residency is working with other residents and with medical students.
Can you provide an anecdote that demonstrates "why you teach?"
As a high school English teacher, at the end of one school year I received a thank you letter from a student. He was a quiet boy, with long hair and thick glasses who always sat in the back of the classroom and who never spoke unless called upon. Frankly, I didn't feel I'd made enough of an effort to draw him out that year. I had, however, worked with him—as I had with all the students--on a poem he'd written during our creative writing unit. In his letter to me, this young man told me I was the only teacher who had ever taken the trouble to notice him, much less encourage him at anything. I think this exemplifies what many of us get from teaching: the opportunity to simply make a positive difference in someone's life: to "pay it forward."
How do you continue to learn so that you can continue to teach?
At age 52, I decided to go back to graduate school for a doctorate in clinical psychology. Having the openness to realize and admit that I don't know everything is important. "Beginner's mind" allows me to be open to learning from my mentors and peers as well as my learners.
What advice do you have for people who want to teach?
Simply have a passion for 1) your subject or 2) benefitting your learners. It's best to have both, but either one will carry you a long way toward being an effective teacher. Students value teachers who are effective at promoting learning; however, they also value those who relate to them personally, recognize their individual abilities, and support them in moving toward their goals. Becoming a health care professional is an admirable and challenging calling, and students at OHSU need teachers who both inspire and encourage them throughout an often lengthy educational process.

The General Assembly was back in Providence today. … The largest bond issue, $45 million, is earmarked for the Department of Transportation for replacing the Jamestown Bridge and other projects.
The race is on to see if the state can prop up the old Jamestown Bridge long enough to get the new one built. Monday night, Town Councilman Alton Head III prodded his colleagues to nudge the state to inspect and repair crumbling bridge piers while it tries to raise money to replace the span.
From the Newport Daily News, September 14, 1983

10 years ago From the Jamestown Press, September 10, 1998
Dutch Harbor's lobster habitat project got the attention of U.S. Sen. John Chafee this week. He spoke about the need to restore coastal habitats at a public conference held Tuesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the University of Rhode Island, and Rhode Island Sea Grant, all jointly responsible for the research being conducted on lobsters off Dutch Island.
Between now and Oct. 30, the state Department of Transportation will be accepting bids on five houses near Route 138 in Jamestown that are on the auction block. The houses — located at 14 Hull Ct, 12, 20 and 22 Hull St., and 7 Spindrift Dr. — were purchased by the state years ago because the yards were in the way of construction when the road was widened into a four-lane, limited access highway.

"The state of our nation is a strong economy. Good news for our people, bad news for our critics."
Arguably that was the strongest line from yesterday's hour-long State of the Nation Address (SONA) which was delivered by Mrs. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
As a trained economist, Arroyo has always strived to be known as an economic workhorse. And so she peppered her 9th (and supposedly last) SONA with fabulous figures of economic growth that, many will say, are too good to be true. Therefore, the SONA was applauded 124 times this year (as against last year's 104 and 2007's 103 — in itself a feat!).
Her SONA, however, wasn't all talk about development and a "strong economy." Since it comes but once a year, she made it an opportunity to fireback at her political foes and critics.
While a strong downpour outside the Batasang Pambansâ disappointed thousands of anti-Arroyo protesters, she made sour slights and indirect hints against those who have been heavily criticizing her presidency. But the unfortunate unnamed receivers of Arroyo's rancorous remarks were pretty obvious.
In one instance, Arroyo declared:
Our efforts prodded the pharmaceutical companies to come up with low-cost generics and brands like RiteMed. I supported the tough version of the House of the Cheaper Medicine law over the weak version of my critics. The result: the drug companies volunteered to bring down drug prices, slashing by half the prices of 16 drugs. Thank you, Congressmen Cúa, Álvarez, Birón and Locsín.
Pursuant to law, we are placing other drugs under a maximum retail price. To those who want to be President, this advice: If you really want something done, just do it. Do it hard, do it well. Don't pussyfoot. Don't pander. And don't say bad words in public.
It is widely known that Arroyo has been at odds against Senator Manuel "Mar" Roxas over the issue of cheaper medicines. Whatever their disagreement over the said issue, they certainly didn't jive because last December, an angry Mar Roxas unleashed perhaps the most unparliamentary remark –a foul language at that– ever heard in the history of the Philippine Senate as a negative reaction towards Arroyo's stance on cheaper medicines. And so on her SONA, Arroyo retaliated quite hilariously with a funny-sounding Brit verb that is rarely used nowadays: pussyfoot
What in the world does pussyfoot mean? The following definition is fromhttp://dictionary.reference.com:
puss-y-foot [poo s-ee-foot] verb, noun, plural -foots.
–verb (used without object)
1. to go or move in a stealthy or cautious manner.
2. to act cautiously or timidly, as if afraid to commit oneself on a point at issue
Arroyo even thanked Congressmen Junie Cúa, Antonio Álvarez, Ferjenel Birón and Teodoro "Teddy Boy" Locsín, Jr., without acknowledging Roxas who was, in the first place the staunchest advocate of passing a cheaper medicines law.
The next victim of Arroyo's seething anger was friend-turned-nemesis, former House Speaker José de Venecia, Jr.:
The noisiest critics of constitutional reform tirelessly and shamelessly attempted Cha-Cha when they thought they could take advantage of a shift in the form of government. Now that they feel they cannot benefit from it, they oppose it.
It's interesting to note that in previous SONAs, Joe de V have had his palms all red due to numerous applauses he gave to his ex-friend.
Finally, Arroyo left no kind words unannounced for her bitter rival, President Joseph "Erap" Estrada:
I am falsely accused, without proof, of using my position for personal profit. Many who accuse me have lifestyles and spending habits that make them walking proofs of that crime.
We can read their frustrations. They had the chance to serve this good country and they blew it by serving themselves.
Those who live in glass houses should cast no stones. Those who should be in jail should not threaten it, especially if they have been there.
Arroyo was all smiles all throughout the controversial SONA. And those smiles weren't just because she was declaring good news to her constituents, but because finally she was able to garner some payback time against those who have been attacking her left and right these previous months.
Yesterday's weather and Arroyo. Both were on the same mood.
Regrettably, this angry SONA of hers began with a solemn prayer (for former President Corazón Aquino who is currently battling colon cancer). It's quite ironic to begin an event with a prayer and then follow it up with a barrage of attacks against critics and rivals, not to mention questionable claims of economic progress.
Questionable. Because, you see — have all these proud declarations of development trickled down to a massive hungry populace?

For example, you cannot use an wine barrel chairs for an office chair.
The importance of putting good office furniture and equipment in the workplace cannot be overemphasized. While its true that some business transactions are handled outside of the office, the office is where most initial deals are made, and its also the venue for implementing and brainstorming effective business operations and strategies. One of the most essential furnishings in a workplace of any kind is the office furniture chair. There is a wide array of office chairs available in the market today, which can fit any purpose intended for it.

Paying Special Assessments for Fines or Services
How are special assessments paid?
Special assessments appear as a line item on your Hennepin County Property Tax Statement. If not prepaid, the special assessments are collected along with property taxes.
Learn more about special assessments for services and fines.
Is it a one-time payment?
A special assessment can be a single payment or, in special cases, spread out over a number of years. Interest is charged on special assessments after they are assessed by Hennepin County.
Can I prepay a special assessment?
Pending special assessments can be prepaid to the City of Minneapolis up to November 30th each year. To learn the pay off amount before November 30th, call (612) 673-2233.
For multi-year assessments, pre-payments for the years beyond the upcoming tax year may be accepted. Call 311 to determine if allowable.
Payment must include the property address and/or the Request For Service (RFS) number.
Make check payable to:
Minneapolis Finance Department
Send to:
Housing Inspection Services
250 South 4th Street, Room 300
Minneapolis, MN 55415
Do I need to pay off special assessments before selling my house?
A person selling a property may prepay outstanding special assessments. This is usually negotiated between the buyer and seller, and often required by the buyer's loan agreement. However, payment is not required at the time of sale. Special assessments left unpaid will continue to be carried on the property taxes of the new owner for the remaining term of the assessment.
Can I get a deferment if I'm unable to pay a special assessment?
According to City Council Resolutions 80R-365 and 93R-134, the City may defer the payment of special assessments for any homestead property owned by a person 65 years or older or retired due to a permanent and total disability for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments.
A deferment does not reduce or do away with the amount owed. It postpones the payment. During the deferment, simple interest will accumulate on the total principal amount of the assessment at the annual average rate of interest earned by the City in previous fiscal years.

While attending FABLESCON a couple months ago, I was deeply immersed in the world that Bill Willingham created in his award-winning Vertigo comic FABLES. I'm sad to say that I ended up missing the Telltale Games panel where they talked about the new game based on the series. Now I'm happy to share this release from the makers of "The Walking Dead" game!:
"Greetings Mundies, Today we would like to share the first set of screenshots from our upcoming episodic game series The Wolf Among Us, which is based on Bill Willingham's award-winning comic book series 'FABLES.' The Wolf Among Us is set to premiere later this summer on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®Network, and on PC and Mac from the Telltale Online Store and other digital distribution outlets. Additional platforms to be announced.
A consistent New York Times bestseller, 'FABLES' is one of DC Entertainment's longest-running series published under its Vertigo imprint since 2002. With over a dozen Eisner Awards, including Best Writer, Best New Series, and numerous wins for Best Serialized Story, the FABLES universe has become one of the richest mythologies in the world of comics, imagining that characters like Snow White, The Big Bad Wolf and Pinocchio from the world's most beloved storybooks are real - Real, and living among us, with all of their powers intact.
Set prior to the events seen in the first issue of the FABLES comic book series, The Wolf Among Us puts players in the role of Bigby Wolf, a man once more infamously known as The Big Bad Wolf. Now the sheriff of a hidden community in New York City, exiled from the land of fairy tales, Bigby is tasked by the bureaucrat Snow White to keep order within a society of mythical creatures and characters trying to remain undetected in the world of the mundane. From a chain-smoking member of 'The Three Little Pigs,' to a car-stealing Mr. Toad itching for his next wild ride, The Wolf Among Us examines the lives of beings straight from the pages of myth and lore, now trying to survive on the meanest and most run-down streets of New York City."
After Telltale Games creating hits in their "Jurassic Park", "The Walking Dead" and "Back to the Future" titles, and knowing of Bill Willingham's involvement in the game, I have high hopes for "The Wolf Among Us"!

Grae's Rating:
El snore.
To paraphrase the opening voice over of Casa de mi Padre: if it sounds like Spanish and looks Spanish, then it is a Spanish movie. I was immediately squinting at the screen wondering "Who are they trying to convince?" After 90 minutes of lukewarm telenovela satire that generated about two fewer smirks than my recent conversation with a bank teller, I think the answer is everyone.
Parody is tough. Anyone funny who has arrogantly charged into one and experienced how difficult that delicate balance is to achieve can agree with that. Although Casa is well-researched and knows the conventions of the genre, it's still missing something (other than laughs, I mean). Sure, Will Ferrell is speaking flawless Spanish and wearing a lot of cowboy shirts because he is a poor ranchero with a fat head. Of course his father (telenovela star Pedro Armendáriz Jr.) holds a grudge against him, and loves his smarmy younger brother Raul (Diego Luna) more. And yes, Raul has a stunning fiancée Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez) whose mere presence on the screen creates beads of sweat on your forehead. It should have added up to something muy dramático y divertido…but instead of being dramatic and funny, it comes within sight of the border of genius, but takes a smoke break instead of making a run for it.
Gael Garcia Bernal is also around as La Onza, the territorial drug dealer who doesn't play nice when Raul shows up to invade his territory. Ever the one-dimensional villain, he smokes several cigarettes at once and congratulates his cronies for making dick jokes just before killing someone. Nick Offerman plays a racist American cop, and Efren Ramirez (Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite) hangs around with a bandanna around his neck making bug eyes at Sonia. Even with all this potential, the movie never gels. Every line feels forced, or exactly where you expect them to go. There's nothing absurd or edgy about this script because it's too close to the real thing, with all of its family fights, earnest heroes, and misunderstood women. There is a mystical white leopard for Will Ferrell to connect to spiritually, though, because animated sequences with animals are part of why we (I?) love him as an actor.
All the elements are there--shoddily painted backdrops, incorrect continuity, and missing scenes. However, everyone's so busy dusting cobwebs off old jokes, they seem to forget that it's the seriousness with which telenovelas take themselves that make them a guilty pleasure. That's what makes them funny and endearing to watch even if you can't speak a word of Spanish. Instead of hunting this one down, spend money and time on the blaxploitation parody Black Dynamite, that really understands how to make a joke out of the familiar. Heck, you're even better off catching the 30 Rock storyline from season three featuring Los Amantes Clandestinos--Alec Baldwin has a nice Spanish trill, too.

THE PRAIRIE ACRE with Pholly
Blue Stone Folk School Folk Series Concert
Thursday, June 25 7-9 PM
Noble Tea and Coffee Company 933 Logan – On the Square – Noblesville
$10 at the Door.
By Joni Back-Bubenzer
Every now and then, I have a Pretty Good Idea. Most of the time, these ideas remain as they are: happy thought bubbles that populate day dreams in a parallel, perfect world. But, once in awhile I share a Pretty Good Idea with the right people, and before I know it, things start to happen. Before long, my Pretty Good Idea forms into a delightful, solid reality.
This is what happened when I told the Board of Directors at the Blue Stone Folk School about my idea to bring The Prairie Acre to Noblesville.
Knowledge of this old time quartet is unavoidable in my family; banjo player/vocalist Noah Musser is my husband's first-cousin. But, it is the band's far-reaching popularity, rather than Bubenzer family connections, that struck a chord at the Folk School. Veterans of the Indiana Fiddlers' Gathering, Geoff and Julie Davis caught the band's performance at last year's Gathering, and were able to attest to the positive energy and unrelenting charm that are part of the Prairie Acre experience. With that, it was easy to begin the process of putting together what is sure to be a memorable and music-filled evening.
Hailing from Lawrence, Kansas, this tap-your-toes, get-up-and-dance band will bring an old time brand of traditional music to the intimate Noble Tea and Coffee Company on Noblesville's Square before heading to The Indiana Fiddler's Gathering in nearby Battleground, Indiana. Having built quite a local following in Lawrence, The Prairie Acre is taking the show on the road this summer, making stops at venues and folk music festivals across the central US. With a freshly minted CD, "Who Will Rock the Cradle," under their belts, they will be fortified with banjo, fiddle, bass, guitar, and plenty of coffee.
Their music and down-home wholesome style is reminiscent of times in the not-so-distant, pre-electronic past when families made real music together. This outlook is completely in sync with the Folk School's philosophy. It's been said that The Prairie Acre's music "tends to inspire women in their 80s to do little ho-step dances when they hear it." With out a doubt, they should have the same effect on everyone, regardless of age.
With The Prairie Acre secured, we knew we couldn't stop with just one good thing. This not-to-be-missed performance will open with a set from Noblesville's own Pholly. This delightful teen duo combines gutsy, youthful vocals from Molly Grooms and Phoebe Davis with Phoebe's expert ukulele strumming. They offer a combination of traditional and popular songs with a unique twist, as well as one or two impressive original compositions.
I am pretty sure that this evening has the makings for one of those Most Memorable Days/Nights of Summer pages in everyone's mental scrapbook. I suggest that folks head in to town early, enjoy dinner at one of Noblesville's fabulous downtown restaurants, then make their way to the Noble Coffee Company for the show.
And, if you are really good, I might invite you to my house for some pie and jamming after the show. And if that happens, I can honestly say that my Pretty Good Idea has come true.
See you there!

The Enterprise encounters Earth's first deep space probe, but something is different. Instead of discovering new life, it wants to wipe all wipe out all imperfect life. How will Kirk and crew escape? Find out when "The Changeling" goes in the Mission Log.
Mission Log #32 – Episode 032 – The Changeling
One of the frequent messages of SF and Star Trek is that technology is good, but potentially dangerous. Technical advancements are worthwhile, but we must be cautious. Of course, for dramatic reasons, most of the advancements that are the subject of episodes do go badly, because if it works there's no drama. Hey look: We built a machine and it works fine. Shrug.
Here's the thing: Nomad isn't an example of this storytelling because it's a broken machine. Nobody ever advances the idea that Roykirk should never have made Nomad. That's because the idea of a collision with an alien probe causing a merging of programming is not foreseeable. Until it was damaged, nothing was wrong with Nomad.
That's also why Kirk doesn't have to give a "people are great" speech: Because the only thing advancing a counter argument is an insane, broken robot. Nothing Nomad opines is valuable because it's a garbled mishmash of unrelated directives.
Also, I think that, rather than being wiped, Uhura's memories were masked and it's like using an old MSDOS undelete tool to simply bring back the old memories. They probably started with her native language stuff and were working on the English stuff as we met her progress in that "blooey" scene. It's the equivalent of admonishing someone for speaking English in Spanish class. Realistically, if her memory was really wiped, there'd be no way to restore her experiences and personality and she'd not be able to resume her position on the ship.

HTC brings brilliance to life through leading innovation in smart mobile device and experience design. Beginning with a vision to put a personal computer in the palm of our customers' hands, we have led the way in the evolution from palm PC to smartphone.
The Pursuit of Brilliance is at the heart of everything we do, inspiring best-in-class design and game-changing mobile experiences for consumers around the world. At HTC, the Pursuit of Brilliance is the impulse to create, to venture into the unknown with an unwavering dedication to bring innovative design to life. It pushes us everyday to re-imagine new ways to connect the world, our consumers, and their pursuits in ways never before thought possible.
An Unending Curiosity
At HTC, we go where others haven't thought to. Breaking down barriers and creating industry firsts is a large part of our history, which is why HTC has become synonymous with innovation, engineering breakthroughs, and designing the future of human communications as we continue to expand into uncharted product territories.
An Unyielding Resilience
Strong character is at our core. Award-winning vision requires taking risks and challenging convention. From the very beginning, resilience has been at the heart of our creative spirit. To this day, we stay committed to our pursuit, believing that the greatest ideas transcend temporary recognition: they influence behavior, shape lives, and inspire new thinking.
A Refined Approach
We hold our ideas and our products to a higher set of standards. That is why we design for performance over popularity – and our partners have taken notice. Other industry leaders come to us because they understand that we create great products with an eye for design and mind for engineering that's celebrated by the industry and customers alike.
A Real Impact
It is our belief that technology's purpose has always been to bring humanity together to overcome and conquer difficult challenges. That is why we always design our technology to generate a real impact – to serve a greater, human purpose that every single human being can benefit from.
A Greater Purpose
HTC takes a broader approach to serving society and making life better. We believe that we can make more of a difference looking beyond the obvious, reaching out to people and enabling them to make a difference, and in improving the way we do things.
In early 2014, we launched HTC Power To Give™. By combining all of the computing power at the fingertips of smartphone users and connecting them to international research projects and institutes, Power To Give™ creates one of the world's largest supercomputers to advance research on ecological and environmental issues, and to help find cures for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's.
Our strengths in design are not limited to creating great looking hardware. Our standards extend to our manufacturing processes, as well. That's why our factories are among the most environmentally responsible in the world, and why our offices have earned global acclaim, setting the gold standard in energy efficiency.
We have also expanded our environmental initiatives to shape the entire customer experience. Our product packaging is 100% biodegradable, and the HTC One (M7) was the first smartphone in the world built to international specifications of complete carbon footprint and lifecycle assessments. That's an industry first we're proud of.
At HTC, we do all of these things in the knowledge that we're always creating for the future. To that end, we realize that bringing the future to life ultimately rests in the hands of our youth. Through the HTC Foundation and our Summer Family Camp we provide humanitarian and social support to those most in need while also assisting in the teaching and development of a strong sense of character and social values in youth. We believe that the future is for everyone, which is why we strive to ensure that every child has the opportunity to be part of the next generation of leaders and visionaries.
Future Pursuits
This evolutionary path is a piece of the much larger journey we aim to take in the future. As we expand into new categories with the Re camera and other upcoming products, it is important to remember what brought us to where we are now, and why we do the work we do. From our people to our products and our social and environmental initiatives, the Pursuit of Brilliance represents the guiding philosophy that has shaped and will continue to shape HTC as a global organization.
Accolades and Achievements
Our curiosity has paid off, with our products winning countless prestigious industry and media awards, including:

Learn how to fit your shorter training blocks into the bigger picture.
Runners tend to think of training in isolated blocks: 16 or 20 weeks for a marathon, 8 to 12 weeks for an upcoming 5K and so on. However, training doesn't always occur in neat little segments as we'd like to think. Each training cycle builds upon the last to improve some aspect of your fitness and to make you a better runner. Therefore, rather than looking at training and racing in independent weekly segments, runners should take a more holistic view, planning instead in one or two year blocks.
This long-term approach sounds fine and dandy if you've been running for a long time or if you're well-versed in training theory, but if you're a new runner or don't have a strong grasp on exercise physiology, this can be a difficult and confusing task.
RELATED: Become A Faster Miler To Become A Better Marathoner
Each runner is unique, and over the following pages I'll explain why you need to vary your training for different race distances over the span of one or two years and then outline a few long-term approaches you can take to train optimally year-round for your favorite distance.

20 children among 26 victims of Connecticut school shooting.
Dressed in black fatigues and a military vest, a heavily armed man walked into a Connecticut elementary school Friday and opened fire, shattering the quiet of this southern New England town and leaving the nation reeling at the number of young lives lost.
Within minutes, 26 people were dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School -- 20 of them children. Among the six adults killed were Dawn Hochsprung, the school's beloved principal, and school psychologist Mary Sherlach.
The shooter, identified by three law enforcement officials as 20-year-old Adam Lanza, also was killed, apparently by his own hand.
"Stuff like this does not happen in Newtown," a tight-knit community of about 27,000 just outside Danbury, said Renee Burn, a local teacher at another school in town. In the past 10 years, only one homicide had previously been reported.
How do we stop the violence?

That shellcode book might be nice but I think it's totally useless if you want to exploit your linksys. I'm not sure but I highly doubt the linksys is running some sort of I386 architecture. If you want to exploit a service on the linksys I suggest finding out what type of processor it has and what it's architecture is like. You would then need to get the firmware and disassemble it using the correct disassembler.
Another option is to see if the web interface has any flaws in it that would allow you to make changes without authentication.

Legacy: Austria's Influence On American Skiing "Kruchenhauser & His Ambassadors (1950s - 1970s)" Why have so many American ski schools and resorts been influenced by Austrians? From 1931-1971 Professor Stefan Kruckenhauser and his ski instructors/ambassadors dominated the world of alpine ski instruction, and alpine ski racing in particular. American investors paid top dollar to get Austrian champions, like Othmar Schneider, Pepi Gramshammer, and Pepi Stiegler, all interviewed in this film, to represent growing American ski areas, and as a result? Austrian alpine skiing technique, racing, coaching and culture permeated the American alpine ski scene, particularly at some of the Americas' largest, best-known resorts: Aspen, Boyne Mt., Jackson Hole, Portillo, Stowe, Sun Valley, the Sugar Bow, Stratton, and Vail.

The term 'End of Day' glass has become commonplace in the antiques trade for most of the spangled or mottled glasses. This suggestion that they were made at the end of the working day to use up the unwanted glass is erroneous and the large number of patents for the style proves that it was a commercial line with a great number of of competitors.

Blake Lively, Without Makeup, Locked Out Of Her Hotel Floor In Vegas! Exclusive!
Sorry girlfriends, but Blake's as pretty without makeup as on screen as she was spotted roaming the wrong floor of the Cosmopolitan Hotel — trying to get back to her room and to catch her flight.
Blake Lively, we can report is as loser-y as us. Her exclusive elevator key was non-functional as she tried to get back to her hotel room to grab her bags and catch a tight flight.
The Gossip Girl was in town for the big Coldpay and Jay-Z New Year's Eve concert at the Cosmopolitan. She and a few friends – no sign of rumored new beau Ryan Gosling -were caught on the 65th floor and first tried to use the stairs, but the door wouldn't open on her floor. One of her friends joked that they should climb down the garbage shoot, before they found a service elevator that didn't require a floor key.
Blake in skinny jeans, a knit hat and no makeup was friendly despite being freaked that she had less than an hour and a half until her flight left and she was locked out without her bags.
Serena Van der Wodsen would never have handled the near-disaster as well as meltdown-free Lively.

Baylor University's Armstrong Browning Library to Host Browning DayMay 5, 2014

WACO, Texas (May 5, 2014) – In celebration of Robert Browning's 202nd birthday, Baylor University's Armstrong Browning Library will host its annual Browning Day event at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 7, in the Hankamer Treasure Room.
The event will focus on The Browning Letters project, the digitization of 2800 Baylor-owned letters written by Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning during their lives. The project, which was started in 2012, is a partnership between Baylor University, Wellesley College and Balliol College.
Rita Patteson, director of the Armstrong Browning Library, said the partner universities also own Browning letters.
"Representatives from Balliol College in England will be here because they will be putting the letters they have into our database," she said. "Our ultimate dream is to have all of the letters written by the Brownings in our database."
She said it is important to remember the correspondence of the Brownings because of their major role in the 1800s.
"They were some of the leading figures in 19th century," Patteson said. "Their correspondence is carried on with many other Victorians, and it really gives a first-hand view into the entire century."
A reception will follow the event in the Armstrong Browning Garden of Contentment.
A.J. Armstrong, Ph.D., former chair of Baylor's English department and founder of the Armstrong Browning Library, began Browning Day sometime after 1912 as a means of honoring poet Robert Browning, whose works of dramatic verse are said to have influenced Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot.
This event is free and open to the public. Hankamer Treasure Room is located inside the Armstrong Browning Library, 710 Speight Ave.
For more information, call the Armstrong Browning Library at (254) 710-3566.

MIAMI (Reuters) - Former Republican U.S. Representative Eugene Clay Shaw of Florida has died of lung cancer at age 74, his family said.
Shaw, a former Fort Lauderdale mayor who represented southeast Florida in Congress for 26 years, died on Tuesday night at Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale.
"It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that our family announces the passing of our loving husband, father, grandfather, congressman and mayor, E. Clay Shaw, Jr.," a statement from his family said.
Shaw was a lawyer and accountant before winning election in 1980 to Florida's 22nd Congressional District. He won re-election 12 times until losing to Democrat Ron Klein in 2006.
During his time in Congress, Shaw advocated for Everglades restoration and promoted legislation that limited welfare payments and cut earnings taxes for Social Security recipients.
He is survived by his wife, Emilie, four children and 15 grandchildren, and is to be buried at a family plot in Cuba, Alabama.

Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a mental illness and a form of child abuse. The caretaker of a child, usually a mother, either makes up fake symptoms or causes real symptoms to make it look like the child is sick.
Factitious disorder by proxy
No one is sure what causes Munchausen syndrome by proxy. Sometimes the person was abused as a child or has Munchausen syndrome (fake illness for themselves).
The mother can do extreme things to fake symptoms of illness in her child. For example, she may:
What are signs in a mother?
What are signs in a child?
To diagnose Munchausen syndrome by proxy, doctors and nurses have to see the clues. They have to review the child's medical record to see what has happened with the child over time. Unfortunately, Munchausen syndrome by proxy often goes undiagnosed.
The child needs to be protected. They may need to be removed from the direct care of the parent.
Children may require medical care to treat complications from injuries, infections, medications, surgeries, or tests. They also need psychiatric care to deal with depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder that can happen with child abuse.
Treatment usually involves individual and family therapy. Because this is a form of child abuse, the syndrome must be reported to the authorities.
If you think a child is being abused, contact a health care provider, the police, or child protective services.
Call 911 for any child in immediate danger because of abuse or neglect.
You can also call this national hotline. Crisis counselors are available 24/7. Interpreters are available to help in 170 languages. The counselor on the phone can help you figure out next steps. All calls are anonymous and confidential. Call Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453)
Recognition of Munchausen syndrome by proxy in the child-parent relationship can prevent continued abuse and unnecessary, expensive, and possibly dangerous medical testing.

During my career, I spent time working at agencies owned by both holding companies—Saatchi & Saatchi (Publicis), Trial DDB (Omnicom) and OMD (Omnicom). I also worked at Euro RSCG which is owned by Havas, and Kirshenbaum, Bond & Partners, owned by MDC. So, I've done the rounds across the various holding companies. Based on my experience working in agencies and as a client who has hired many agencies, I do not see this merger as a positive. Here are a few of the reasons why:
- It's not about the clients. We hire ad agencies to develop creative solutions to complex business problems. When I hire an agency, I want the team to focus on my business. I don't want them to be distracted by holding company M&A activity that doesn't make a difference to my business. Also, when Omnicom-Publicis talk about efficiencies that will produce $500 million in savings, that means one thing—layoffs. When advertising people are threatened by layoffs, they'll often start talking to headhunters and looking for the next gig. As a client, having a lot of turnover on the team that manages our account is a bad thing.
- The conflict mess. Bringing Omnicom and Publicis together will create a mess of client conflicts and have a big impact on the ability of any agency in the network to pursue new business. The agencies are going to spend more time figuring out creative ways to work around these conflicts than coming up with the big ideas to win the business.
- Holding company wins but the agencies lose. When I worked for one of the large holding companies, I saw first-hand how these deals can go badly. I was working with a large client that had a deal at the holding company level. This client primarily worked with one agency in the holding company, but decided they wanted new some new ideas. Executive management at the holding company told this client that they could have several of the holding company agencies pitch the business. It was better to keep the business in the holding company than lose it to an outside agency. But what ended up happening was that this client would have the three main holding company agencies pitch almost every single project. The client liked this because they could get lots of ideas from the different agencies. But it was hell on the agencies because they were constantly pitching with no guarantee of consistent business from the client. What's worse is that they weren't getting compensated for the pitch work. So they'd have to eat that cost just to pick up a single project. It was a bad deal for these agencies and really damaged morale. In the long term, I believe the service to that client suffered.
- Creative drain. Most of the creative people I've worked with in my career have little or no interest working in large bureaucracies. The bigger these holding companies get, the more it will turn off the creative talent needed to attract clients. On the positive side, you'll continue to see a lot of the best talent fleeing from the holding companies to work at smaller shops or start new agencies. You'll also see a lot of clients leaving the big shops for the smaller shops that are easier to work with and produce bigger and better ideas.
- No real efficiencies gained. Whenever a merger is announced, there's always talk of "efficiencies." This always seems to be a primary justification for the merger. These companies will be better together. They will make more money and save more money. But the reality is that these potential efficiencies are never realized. In all my time working for agencies owned by holding companies, I can't point to one single efficiency that I witnessed. I'm sure there were probably some back office gains with employee benefits and real estate. But the holding companies were a non-factor in the day-to-day business of the agency. I can't say that I even met a single person from the holding company during my agency days.
I tend to agree.

The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources reminds hunters that there is a split, three-day special antlerless deer season for Youth, Class Q/QQ permit and Class XS permit hunters scheduled for this fall.
The first segment of this season is one day, Oct. 20, and the second segment is two days, Dec. 26-27. The season is open on private and public lands in counties having a firearms deer hunting season.
Youth hunters ages 8-17 may participate in this special antlerless deer season; however, hunters ages 8-14 must be accompanied by a licensed adult. Hunters ages 15-17 are required to have a base hunting license.
Senior citizens 65 years and older who have purchased their lifetime senior hunting/trapping/fishing license (Class XS) also may participate in this special antlerless deer season. Hunters participating in this season must wear at least 400 square inches of blaze orange.
The daily bag limit during this special season is one antlerless deer per day for a total of three antlerless deer for the season. These harvested deer do not count toward the hunter's annual deer season bag limit. All harvested deer must be checked at an official game checking station within 24 hours of the close of each segment of this special split season and before hunting an additional deer during the second segment of this season.
"This season provides a great opportunity to get young hunters out into the field," noted Frank Jezioro, Director of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. "The accompanying adults can focus their attention on these young hunters and make sure they are having a safe and enjoyable experience.
"Other eligible hunters who participate in this special antlerless deer season can avoid the competition and pressure that may occur during the regular deer seasons," he said.
Refer to the 2012-13 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary for further details on the special split antlerless deer season for Youth, Class Q/QQ and Class XS hunters. Hunters also may contact any DNR district office with any questions.

Possible Medieval synagogue discovered near Sea of Galilee
Archaeologists have unearthed what could be the ancient remains of a synagogue in a village near Israel's Sea of Galilee.
The placement of benches along the east, north, and west walls suggests that the ancient structure is a synagogue – but researchers say such a find is extremely rare in this setting, given the lack of a Jewish presence in the area at the time.
In the 12th and 13th centuries, the Crusaders and Mamluks (a Muslim people) fought for control of the area around Huqoq, where the excavations are now taking place, Live Science reports.
The researchers have so far been unable to find evidence of a Jewish presence in the medieval records, apart from one of just a few textual references from the early 14th century, in which a traveller named Ishtori Haparchi reported seeing a 'synagogue with a very old floor.'
Coupled with the benches found in the building, which are arranged in a style commonly seen in synagogues, Jodi Magness, director of the Huqoq excavation project, says the researchers 'speculate that perhaps our building is that synagogue.'

'A monumental public building was erected on the same spot as the late Roman synagogue, reusing some of the earlier structure's architectural elements, but expanding it in size,' Magness said during a presentation of the research in Toronto at the joint annual meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America and the Society for Classical Studies this month, Live Science reports.
'Small patches of mosaics with geometric and floral designs were preserved on top of the floor.'
According to Magness, the medieval building reuses the north and east walls of the Roman structure, along with ancient columns and pedestals.
These were placed on top of low walls, known as stylobates.
The fifth-century Roman structure atop which it's built was previously discovered by the team, who revealed its brilliant mosaics depicting the stories of Noah's Ark and the parting of the Red Sea.
Researchers say these scenes are extremely rare in such a setting, and only a handful of others have ever been found.
Four schools are involved in the excavations at Huqoq, including Baylor University, the University of North Carolina, Brigham Young University, and the University of Toronto.
The researchers say this synagogue dates back to a time when the Roman Empire ruled the area, and the mosaics have since been removed from the site for conservation.
These ancient relics depict an arc and pairs of animals, including elephants, leopards, donkeys, snakes, bears, lions, ostriches, camels, sheep, and goats.
Along with this, the mosaics show images of Pharaoh's soldiers being swallowed by large fish, with overturned chariots, horses, and drivers surrounding them.
'These scenes are very rare in ancient synagogues,' said Jodi Magness, director of the excavations and professor in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's College of Arts and Sciences.

Researchers first found mosaics at the synagogue in 2012 and have since continued excavating the site, uncovering many more images.
In the time that's passed, they have found mosaics depicting Samson and his foxes, and Samson carrying the gate of Gaza on his shoulders, both from the Bible, along with a scene containing a Hebrew inscription surrounded by human figures, animals, and mythological creatures, including putti, or cupids.
The site has also led researchers to discover the first non-Biblical mosaic ever found in an ancient synagogue, showing the meeting between Alexander the Great and the Jewish high priest.

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 25, 50, 75, and 100 years ago from the Newport Daily News comes from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, August 21, 1906:
The lobster car belonging to the Jamestown market was broken open last night and about 75 pounds of lobsters stolen. Considerable complaint has been heard recently from others who have had their baiting crabs stolen from cars along the waterfront.
From the Newport Daily News, August 23, 1906:
The extension to the Ferry wharf presented an animated appearance last night. Besides the usual crowd assembled to watch the departure of the New York boat and to take the ferry to Newport, there were about 400 passengers for the New Line steamer Kennebec, 350 of them being a draft of sailors in uniform from the Training Station on their way to join the Colorado and Maryland, which are under orders to leave soon for China.
From the Newport Daily News, August 27, 1906:
Flounder fishing from the head of the extension at ferry wharf is very good and each day sees a number of amateur fishermen trying their luck.
75 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, August 22, 1931:
The American Legion Carnival, which is to open Monday, promises to be the best affair of the kind ever held in Jamestown. ... All booths will be in working order early in the day and the one which will attract attention as one enters the grounds is the Gibson candy booth and the novelty game of Gibson candies.
There was a large attendance of the summer colony at the Casino last evening when the third in the series of Friday evening entertainments was held. Last evening competition dancing was on the program and colorful gowns worn by the women made the ball room a charming scene.

Returning to the park area for the elementary school children, the bus will leave the ferry at 7:55 for Conanicut Park, arriving at the school at 8:25. . . . Taxi service instead of a second bus will be provided for children from the Beavertail area.

25 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, August 21, 1981:
A letter from the state transportation direct to the Town Council president has started another chapter in the continuing controversy over the proposed Jamestown Bridge project. . . .

15 years ago
From the Jamestown Press, August 22, 1991:
Hurricane Bob arrived much sooner than many Jamestowners expected. Islanders rushed early Monday to prepare for the storm's arrival by securing boats, boarding up windows, and stocking up on food and other essentials such as batteries and candles.
Jamestowners worked this week to clean up the destruction and debris left in the wake of Hurricane Bob on Monday afternoon. As of Wednesday morning, most of Conanicut Island was without electricity.
10 years ago
From the Jamestown Press, August 22, 1996:
Twenty adults and six juniors participated this past weekend in the second annual Jamestown Island '96 (a kayak race), which featured strong winds, teamwork and perseverance.
The members of an Administrative Search Committee were announced during last Thursday's School Committee meeting. The advisory panel will select possible candidates to fill the vacancy that will be created when current Principal and Superintendent Phyllis Schmidt retires at the end of this year.
After four years and a good deal of controversy, the new ball field at the former intersection of Eldred Avenue and East Shore Road will open Sunday, Aug. 25, with a half hour dedication ceremony slated for noon.

Former Seneca leader loses bid to regain benefits
When Bergal Mitchell III was indicted two years ago, the Seneca Nation of Indians took immediate steps to punish the former tribal leader.
Mitchell went to court to reverse that punishment - the Nation took away annuity payments and business licenses - but a federal judge recently dismissed his civil suit against the Senecas.
Mitchell argued that he was denied due process by the Nation, but U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara ruled that the courts have no jurisdiction over his dispute with the Senecas.
Mitchell, a one-time tribal councilor and the former second-in-charge of the Seneca Gaming Corp., faces fraud and money laundering charges in connection with his alleged role in skimming $800,000 from a land deal that led to the Seneca Hickory Stick Golf Course in Lewiston.
The golf course - a $25 million development built on former woodlands along the Robert Moses Parkway - opened in June 2010.

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge in Manhattan on Thursday said Argentina's plans to evade his orders by failing to make required payments to U.S. bondholders is illegal and cannot be carried out, but he stopped short of finding the South American nation in contempt of court.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa called Argentina's actions toward U.S. bondholders "lawless." However, he rejected requests by lawyers for U.S. hedge funds to make a contempt finding, saying he wanted everyone to concentrate on an eventual settlement.
"That is the path that should be taken," Griesa said. "In my judgment, it does not add anything to the scales of settlement to make a finding of contempt."
At an Aug. 8 hearing, Griesa had threatened Argentina with contempt, saying the nation's leaders were making "false and misleading" statements as they ignored obligations to pay the hedge funds.
Since then, Argentina's public statements have grown more defiant. President Cristina Fernandez this week announced plans to make interest payments to other bondholders through her nation's central bank rather than U.S. banks that are subject to Griesa's orders.
"It is illegal, and the court directs that it cannot be carried out," Griesa said.
In a statement late Thursday, Fernandez's office accused the judge of being contemptuous of Argentina's sovereignty in his attack on the president's plan to have her country's lawmakers adopt legislation setting up the alternate repayment system. Griesa is trying to "impose conditions on the Congress, the highest legislative body of the nation."
Fernandez has repeatedly decried the judge's ruling that Argentina must repay U.S. hedge funds that hold some of the Argentine bonds that were defaulted on after the country' 2001 economic collapse.
The funds led by New York billionaire Paul Singer's NML Capital Ltd. bought the bonds on the cheap after the default and are now demanding payment. Argentina's leaders call the funds "vultures" because they refused to participate in swaps in 2005 and 2010 in which over 90 percent of Argentina's bondholders agreed to accept lesser-valued bonds.
"Far from delivering justice and bringing equal conditions among the parties, the judge only looks to favor the vulture funds," Argentina's statement said.
Argentina attorney Jonathan Blackman has repeatedly told the judge that the country is left with few options because any deal it reaches with U.S. bondholders owed about $1.5 billion would obligate it to pay over $20 billion to other bondholders.
In a letter to the judge Wednesday, attorney Robert A. Cohen on behalf of the U.S. bondholders said Argentina's new proposal would offer his clients the same "stingy terms" that the hedge funds had declined twice before and force them to submit to Argentina's "puppet bank" or "Argentina's patsies" for payments.
At Thursday's hearing, Cohen said a finding of contempt would send a stern message to top Argentine officials as well as to any financial institutions that might want to help Argentina avoid its obligations to U.S. bondholders.
Attorney Carmine Boccuzzi, representing Argentina, said a contempt finding would not aid efforts to negotiate a resolution with help from a court-appointed special master and would lead to harsher rhetoric. He also said it was premature, since Argentina had not yet changed rules for how bondholders would be paid.
The judge may have passed on a contempt finding in part to send the message that he doesn't do everything the funds request as Argentina has alleged, said Daniel Kerner, Latin America director at the Eurasia Group in Washington.
But if Argentina goes through with a plan to replace foreign bonds with new local issues to side-step Griesa, the judge is likely to find the nation in contempt, he said.
"What would the implications be? That's not clear. Everything in this case is without precedent," Kerner said.
Griesa said Argentina's refusal to pay U.S. bondholders is like a man showing up at a closing with only $80,000 to buy a $100,000 property and insisting "$80,000 is a lot of money and my family is ready to move in."
The judge added: "He would be laughed out of the neighborhood."
Associated Press writer Deborah Rey in Buenos Aires, Argentina, contributed to this report.
