| Thinking about a dog? Get educated first
When Maureen Fogerty began volunteering at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, it was because she needed to choose a charity to work with when she became a bank vice president. She wanted to do "something different." Reality set in on her first night of volunteering. "There was a little dog shaking in her cage that they told me they had to put down," Fogerty said. "I remember hugging and kissing her as she was given a lethal injection. I also remember making a vow that I would do something about this. At the time, I was in my 20s and living in Lincoln Park." .
Mother seeks retrial in death
There is no telling what all Andrew went thru in that house. Poor kid, with those looney tunes for foster parents....... As far as calming the boy - they had been using behavior modification. After Andrew would have a full serving, if he asked for more, they would try something that they thought he wouldn't like in order to cause him not to want more. First they tried lemon, which didn't work because he ended up liking it. Then they tried spices, which didn't work because he ended up liking them, too. (Suggest removal) .
Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Tour: 30 Days & 30 Nights ...
Vince Vaughn is a funny guy. Just ask him. And the thin line between self-regard and auto-eroticism gets obliterated very early on in this film that documents Vaughn and his show-biz buds on a 30-day tour. To hear Vaughn tell it in a series of local media interviews — each one more fatuous then the last — this flick ain't just some roving band of comedians dispensing dick jokes; rather, it's a sacred pilgrimage to the mystic heart of America. When the star and his crew of comedy ham-and-eggers roll into Nashville for a gig at the hallowed Ryman auditorium, Vaughn has a near religious epiphany at the sight of Minnie Pearl's dressing room. Want more corn pone? Watch his breathless fawning over now-deceased Hee Haw star Buck Owens, who presents Vaughn his own engraved red-white-and-blue guitar, as if Owens were Arthur knighting Galahad.
Frank’s part of local folklore
One day a helicopter from Fort Hood landed in the parking lot. The crew ordered 45 cheeseburgers to take on maneuvers, she said. I only had one girl helping me that day, said Mrs. Smith. We were running around like crazy cooking burgers. We knew then we had been discovered. Franks Lakeview Inn In 1955 the Corps wanted the Smiths corner location back to build offices for the Little River Project. They gave Frank his choice of land in the area, Mrs. Smith said. Frank was a visionary. He liked the view from that location overlooking the lake. Mrs. Smith said they built a second establishment on the hilltop and named it Franks Lakeview Inn Restaurant. At one end they constructed a three-bedroom home where they lived. We had some cabins across from the restaurant we rented for $5 and $10 a night, she said.

Marc Hershman, mentor and pioneer in ocean policy
It's a tricky area of study, trying to balance the health of the marine environment with the needs of people living, working and playing on an ecologically fragile shoreline. It pits conservationists against developers, fishermen against oil tankers. Marc Hershman could find that middle ground. Hershman, a man of infectious passion and mentor to many, was the director of the University of Washington's School of Marine Affairs for a decade, one of 16 members of the president's U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, and an internationally recognized expert in ocean policy. He died Sunday at age 65. Hershman received his law degree from Temple University in 1967. To that he wedded his passion for the sea, leading him to become a pioneer in ocean and coastal policy.
Dog survives avalanche, a week in the rugged backcountry
HELENA, Mont. (AP) Tom Pick saw the frightened look on his dog's face as the snow gave way, but he could only watch as a small avalanche swept the black Labrador retriever down the mountainside. ``I'll probably always see her eyes just looking up at me as she slid down into that thing,'' Pick said in an interview this week. ``You could tell that she was scared.'' That was the start of a weeklong ordeal for 3-year-old Lizzie, who somehow survived a week in the snowy backcountry before being spotted at a lake about 5 miles away. Pick, who had searched the avalanche chute in vain for the dog, said he and his wife are ``both still kind of pinching ourselves, afraid that it's a dream or something. We still don't know exactly what transpired.'' Lizzie was with Pick as he went backcountry skiing Jan.
