Poland, 2013, 98 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subject: Drama
Program: Contemporary World CinemaLanguage: Polish English Sub-Titles
If you think you're here to watch a movie about World War II, you're in for a surprise.
A young girl enters a room to find her mother dead from suicide. That girl grows into Janka (Magdalena Boczarska), an introverted cellist, who lives with her photographer father. Janka is furious to learn that her father has taken in Ester (Julia Pogrebinska), a young Jewish woman he's hidden in the basement, away from the Nazis. After her father is taken into custody by the Gestapo, the two women form a bond. Over time, their relationship becomes increasingly obsessive and intimate.
Ester, who left a lover when the occupation began, starts to rebel against her confinement. But Janka will go to any lengths to keep Ester near her. Things start to crumble as neighbors begin to wonder about the loud noises in Janka's apartment. And then people begin to "disappear."
When the war finally ends, Janka doesn't tell Ester, and continues to keep her confined to the basement. Although free from the Nazis, Ester is still not free from her friendly captor. With shades of William Wyler's 1965 film The Collector, director Jan Kidawa-Blonski has crafted a nicely stylized and claustrophobic thriller.

Hi all,
I'm a total newbie, but I'm posting in General Discussion in hope of getting feedback from those who have been running awhile too.
I just finished C25K this week- it took a little over three months and some repeated workouts. I can now successfully run 30 minutes without stopping - about 2.3 miles at my penguin pace. But it is still SO HARD for me to do. My time line goes something like this:
Minutes 1-13 -- "Hey, this isn't so bad. Wow, look, I ran a mile!"
Minutes 14-20 -- "Oh my goodness, I'm going to die!"
Minutes 21-25 -- "Cool, I think I've found my rhythm"
Minutes 26-30 -- "Oh my goodness, I'm going to die! Isn't it time to stop yet?!"
When does it get easier? Is it just because this is the first time in 30+ years that I've exercised and I'm expecting too much too soon? I read threads full of newbies that are running 10 minutes miles, going right onto B210K, hitting that 30 minute mark and feeling like they can go on forever, etc. I am no where near that. I plan on continuing the 30 minute runs for awhile before even thinking of moving on to something else, but it's a little frustrating.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also a newbie, just finished my first 5K race last week. I don't have much advice, just some encouragement. It's perfectly fine to not feel ready to move forward. I don't know, but maybe you're pushing too hard on your runs. I think during training there are going to be some uncomfortable runs, but it probably shouldn't be every one. Maybe you just need to slow down a bit. Take it a little easier for a while. Keep running 30 minutes, but go at a pace where you don't feel miserable around the 15 minute mark. It does get more fun. I used to hate it, then I became indifferent, now there are days I enjoy it and days where I don't want to go. On days where I don't want to head out the door I think about how great I feel when I'm done and that gives me motivation.
Good luck!
Go out and run a short run...maybe 1-1.5 miles only and you will feel that its so easy. All your energy is focused on the larger distances that are still hard for you, but if you run a short one, you will be amazed at how much you really have accomplished. And, because its only 1-1.5 miles, I bet you will find yourself running faster because you mentally know you dont have to store up your energy for a 2.5 mile run
Given that, just imagine what it will feel like when you continue on this path and struggle to run 4 miles....and then go to a 5k and run a 3.3 without worry!
Hi Kate,
One thing that's worth mentioning is that I know for myself that I tend to post more when things are going well (those great Forsest Gump "I could go on forever" moments). But, the reality is, I have days that are just horrible and I'm sure everyone does. There are days when I feel like I'm going to die and other days that feel great. I agree with what people are saying about taking the pressure off yourself and just getting out there and doing whatever pace and distance feels good. Even if it's just a mile that feels great, go with that; if you put too much pressure on yourself it will get frustrating. One thing I've done when I start to get burned out is trying to stop when I'm still happy, even if it cuts my run a bit short. Just try not to compare where you're at with anyone else, it will just make you nuts; instead celebrate all of your victories. They all count, even if they seem small right now. You're out there doing it and you're doing great!

I am also a newbie. I started the C25K back in January and got about 2/3 through it when a knee injury sent me back to walking. I am running again but I have found another training program that I use instead of following the C25K. I use MiCoach by Adidas. The first run is an assesment run and then it sets your zones to paces that are accurate for what you can do (there are 4 levels: easiest, easy, medium, and hard). I have been using it for a while now and I love it. I have it on my android phone and it tells me when I fall out of my zone or if I'm going too fast (usually the case). Since I've started this, I've increased my running to 2.5 miles at a time and love it!! My problem (which some other people have already suggested may be yours as well) is that I would push myself too hard. I have several friends who run and I was always thinking "They can run a 6/7 min mile, so I can". Yea, not when you start out!!! I am averaging around 12:17 per mile and realize now that it will take time to get to that higher level. I agree that you should either go shorter distances or, if you are set on a certain distance, slow down so you enjoy your whole run. This will boost your confidence and you will enjoy it more. Worse case is that running isn't for you and you need to find someother form of exercise that you enjoy (I also Mountain Bike with my husband as he HATES running!!). Good luck!!!
Congrats on getting moving! I did C25k about three years ago. I am still a very slow runner, but I've learned some lessons. First a couple of quotes - You don't have to go fast; you just have to go. And my favorite - Find your happy pace. If you haven't yet discovered the running coach, Jeff Galloway, I suggest you go to his website and review his info and consider buying a book or two. I went to one of his running retreats a couple of years ago. He autographed a book I bought. His message in my book - Enjoy every run! That's really hard to do when you feel like you're going to die. I really resisted his advice for a long time; 'real runners' don't run 1 minute then walk 1 minute. But at the beginning of summer in the south, the heat and humidity hit hard and heavy, and I was struggling with two different injuries. Runs, even with 4:1 intervals, were just torture. No better word. So I got up one morning and decided to just TRY 1:1 to see how I felt. I enjoyed that run!!! Felt awesome!!! And my average pace was only a few seconds slower than my average pace doing 4:1s. So for about four weeks now, I've been doing 1:1 and loving it. I occasionally throw in some other interval, but typically do 1:1. I did run:walk for an hour and ten minutes this morning, and I could've easily kept going. Had to quit b/c I ran out of time. Six weeks ago, an hour of 4:1 would've killed me instead of energizing me. So for now, it's 1:1 and keep moving for me. When I recover from injuries and lose my last 20 pounds, and when the weather cools again, I'll look at other options. My personal goal is to be able, some day, to use '5 miles' and 'easy run' in the same sentence, without walk breaks. But I'm a long way from that right now, and that's okay. In the meantime, I will try to Enjoy Every Run! Best of luck, and keep running!
Also a newbie. I've been running exactly a year. I also took a long time to finish C25K, and when I did finish I could only run 2 miles in the 30 minutes. Most of this year running has been really REALLY hard for me. I had times when I asked this exact same question..."When does it get easier, or fun?" Now, I can't answer when it gets easier, because it is still NOT easy for me. I have days where I just can't push through or my pace is a 13 min/mi. But I also have days where my pace is under 11 min/mi and I can do 3 miles pretty easily and feel great afterwards. I think it became fun for me when I started entered 5Ks. When I ran my first 5 miles without stopping was a huge mental boost too. So....it does get more fun, but I believe it's always going to be hard work for me. I don't have a runner's body and before last year was not physically active at all! I hurt my knee and have to be extra diligent about strength training to prevent injury again. So I have to do a lot of non-running work to keep me running!
Keep at it!
I second the "relax and don't hold yourself up to someone else's standard" sentiments. The fact that you're still looking forward and striving to do good things for yourself puts you WAY ahead, miles and miles, literally, than where you were. Find a strategy like the 1:1 that works for you and takes you out of purgatory. Running can be mostly a pleasure, even for you who's so new on the path. With care and a carefully developed good attitude you can visualize yourself into being a runner for the rest of your life.
...& you can find wonderful support here if you just keep with it.
Good luck and keep moving!

Started running (again) May 5, 2010
In the beginning I felt like you do. I kept asking and wondering when it would "feel" better. Someone finally mentioned to me that I could always run slower, something that never occured to me. That helped a lot, it made the duration of the runs much more bearable and helped me increase my mileage much faster then I had previously been able to. I also found that the later in the day that I ran the easier it was, night being the easiest so back then I'd do most of my long runs very late in the evening.
That being said it was about 9 months into running when I basically stopped feeling like my body had endured an intense beating. My leg muscles feel strong, my runs go smoother and it's no longer horrible it basically feels like a brisk walk now (on most days). I still have days where it's hard now and then and on those days I take a couple of walk breaks or cut my run short if needed.
Thanks for all the input, everyone. I knew I could count on you guys to provide some perspective.
I think I may drop back to intervals for a little while and see how it goes. I guess I'm just disappointed because I want so badly to run an entire 5K, and I'm nowhere near that yet. The other day, I went out and shortened my route. I did my 5 minute warm up, ran a mile, and then walked home (so 1 mile running, and about .75 miles walking due to an extended cool down). I admit that I still wanted to keel over at the end of the mile-- BUT there was good reason for it. The second 1/2 of the mile is all up hill, AND I managed my fastest training mile yet-- 12 minutes on the nose. I've been at about a 13 minute mile for a month or so, down from 15 when I started, so admittedly there has been some extreme progress.
I've also been checking on Jeff Galloway's website, and loving the fact that he advocates walk breaks. He has a 15 week 5K training program that I could conceivably start at Week 4 or so and complete quite reasonably. My next 5K is in six weeks, and if I don't repeat any workouts (cross your fingers) at Week 11, my "long" run on the weekend would be 3.5 miles-- which means I might be able to run the whole 5K-- maybe. I also thinking having a program to follow again would be immensely helpful.
Again, thanks for all your input.

Will running ever be fun for you? I'll be totally honest and tell you that the answer is "maybe". I know its not PC to say this here, but everyone doesn't love to run and for some people it never gets "easy". Not to say that is true for you - but I'm just speaking generally.
If you are running because you really love running, then it will be fun for you even when its hard. I can honestly say I loved running from the very first step I ran. Not that it is always easy, and not that I am a talented runner - or even a good runner - but just because it clicked for me. I am a mediocre runner, but I love running and I hope I never stop.
I know you didn't actually say you hate running, but I see posts from people along those lines. People who hate running but keep doing it and wondering when they will suddenly go out one day and love it. Again, maybe that will happen, maybe it won't. If it never happens, then there is nothing wrong with that. Just decide whether this is something you WANT to do. If it is, keep at it and it will get easier as you get more conditioned. How long that takes depends on your individual fitness level and body structure. And this is my own .02, but it should ALWAYS be fun! From my point of view, life is just too short to spend a lot of time, effort and energy doing something I hate to do (that isn't absolutely mandatory). If I didn't love to run, no way would I do it. I'd do another activity I enjoyed instead because there are many different ways to get in shape.
But that is just me!
Anyway, I hope it does click for you if this is what you really want to do. There are no guarantees that it will ever be fun for you, but I hope so! If you come to love running, it will give you many years of satisfaction and joy. Good luck!
Hi Kate! Great question and great answers from this amazing community. I completely agree with all the above answers. I can honestly say that when I am running I do not enjoy it. But when I am done (like an hour later) I like the way I feel. I like the challenge as well as the success and occasional failure that comes with the challenges the program has laid out. That being said C25K is not for everyone and like someone else said, you might decide running is not for you.
I have three suggestions for you is one I am taking on for myself (also a penguin- and even slower than you based on the numbers you've given). 1) Step back into the program and try to complete it for distance. Based on the numbers you listed that would be Week 6 - but I've read plateauing (if that's a word) is good for our bodies, so go all the back to Week 5 Day 1 if you want to. 2) Ask yourself why you want to run? What are your honest expectations? 3) Stay connected pick a thread and share your ups and downs (and read other people ups and downs). I personally love the 200+ thread (unfortunately I qualify), but its real people with real challenges and amazing success stories -I was a lurker long before I started the occasional posts.
Good luck to you - in everything you choose!

"Flying Pig Half Marathon" Cincinnati, OH (May 2013)
I went out last evening and actually had an enjoyable time. I picked a different route than usual and did some intervals. Five minute warm up walk, ran 7 minutes, walked 1, ran 6 minutes, walked 1. At that point, I was headed in the direction of my house and the last mile was allll uphill. So I walked in an effort to preserve my good mood. It worked.
All in all, I covered more than two miles while I was out, and even though only a little more than one mile was running, I'm okay with that. There's still something to be said for being outside in the fresh air getting exercise.

Kate, Try that last uphill mile with 30 second run/30 second walk. Sometimes even the worst hills are manageable. As for adding distance and still feeling good, please try 30:30 or 1:1 for just one run and see what you think. I've been struggling with injuries, and two miles was torture. Then I started 1:1, and now i'm working my way back up. Regular, easy morning run:walk is now 3.5-4. Working on increasing weekend long runs. I'm still struggling with real runners don't walk, but I'm doing more time and distance and more importantly ENJOYING it all than when I was trying for longer run intervals. You're doing great! Keep moving!
I went out and did intervals up that hill last night. I did my 5 minute warm up walk, and then ran (no intervals) my fastest mile yet-- 11:30. No wonder I was huffing and puffing; my first mile is usually somewhere around 12:30. The second mile was all uphill-- I ran for one minute, and then walked for either 30 seconds or one minute, depending on my gasping To be fair, I'm also struggling with the "real runners don't walk" that you mentioned, but if it'll keep me from quitting, I'm all about it. Second mile, with intervals, was at about 14:00.
Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement.

I read with dismay that District Judge Patrick Murphy handed out a ruling supporting attorney Jim Heckbert, a lawyer who has built a career on high-profile lawsuits against the ski industry. Murphy ruled that slides are not an inherent risk of skiing, and Heckbert was given permission to proceed in a lawsuit relating to the inbounds avalanche on closed terrain in Vail that killed a local teen last year.
The tragedy inherent in the loss of a young teenager's life and the grief of his friends and family aside, this ruling has two significantly negative implications for all of us who ski and recreate in the mountains.
First, it illogically invalidates some universally standard practices of ski areas across the country for controlling access to terrain.
Second, it continues to encourage skiers to operate under the blissfully false assumption that they will never face the risk of avalanches inbounds, and therefore don't need to ski with the attendant caution and respect for terrain that such a sobering notion might require.
On the issue of ropelines: While parties will no doubt continue to dispute the details of the slide on Prima Cornice in court, the fact remains that the skiers hiked uphill into an avalanche closure. Having multiple gates to different portions of terrain is standard industry practice for controlling access to runs like Prima Cornice. It is logistically neither possible nor desirable to have patrol running miles of ropeline through gladed runs and other avalanche terrain on every mountain in the country.
Regardless that no "hard" boundary exists between the skier's-left side of the run and the avy-prone skier's-right area, anyone who goes in there can easily see that the left-hand ramp from the lower gate is significantly less steep, that's why it is possible to open the lower gate without control work.
During the time I worked as a patroller on Lone Peak in Montana, we regularly had upper gates closed and lower gates open as way of controlling skier access until we were felt more confident about avalanche conditions in upper paths. Note that I said "felt more confident." Avalanche risk is never zero, and the ski patrol will never claim as such.
Take a look at any other hill and you will see avalanche terrain controlled in the same manner. Numerous stacked gate entrances are used at Breckenridge as you traverse from the T-bar into the terrain on and below Peak 7.
How would Crested Butte have any hope of controlling access to the Headwall and Outer Limits area without this arrangement?
At Beaver Creek, multiple gates allow access into Stone Creek in the same way as the upper and lower Prima Cornice gates. It is perfectly reasonable to open the lower gates to allow skier access into those runs with the expectation that hiking uphill is not allowed. Short of closing any terrain that even smells like it might be avy terrain, which none of us wants, this is simply the best option resorts have to operate.
On the second issue: Judge Murphy's ruling that avalanches are impossible inbounds (he determined they are not a legally defined inherent risk of skiing) may make you feel better about skiing expert terrain with impunity , but the mountains may not have gotten the message.
He might as well have ruled that it is illegal for cars to wreck on the road. Anyone who cares to pay attention should be able to recall numerous inbounds slides in recent years that beg to differ with Messrs Heckbert and Murphy.
Inbounds slides and deaths have happened at Jackson Hole (Toilet Bowl area), Squaw Valley (Paulson's Gully), Snowbird (Baldy Chutes), A-Basin (Palavicinni area), Snowmass (Hanging Valley), Winter Park (another one that Heckbert is suing over), and The Canyons (Red Pine Chutes).
While I lived in Big Sky, post-control releases occurred in Liberty Bowl and off of Challenger lift nearly every year. It happens. Ski patrol did their job correctly and well. It still happens. If you choose to ski steep terrain, you have to accept it.
Based on this case and others, it is not clear that most skiers at Vail even understand that favorite inbounds runs are definitive avalanche terrain. Look Ma/Challenge, Genghis Khan, Lovers Leap, N/S Rim, Snag Park, Milt's, Rasputin's, Bald Eagle, Osprey, Ripsaw, Cataract, Peregrine, everything in Stone Creek - these runs easily tip the scales at 35 degrees or steeper and are avalanche terrain.
All of them have the potential to slide one day with you on them, after the resort opens, after control work. Patrol does an incredible and professional job mitigating the risk.
That still doesn't make it zero, and that doesn't leave you off the hook for being aware of the risk and making a conscious choice to ski the run.
Despite Heckbert's assertion and Murphy's court ruling, it is physically impossible to hit every pocket of avy danger on every run, every time it snows, every time the snowpack metamorphoses during the season. Use at your own risk.
Vail is the largest resort in the United States. If people believe that 80-ish ski patrollers a day can absolutely sniff out every lurking pocket of avalanche danger in 5,300 acres, including the numerous steep glades and off-map runs that we all regularly ski, they are kidding themselves.
These men and women already do the best job mitigating avy risk that is possible.
Unfortunately, complete elimination is an impossible task.
Attorney Jim Heckbert's statement that "All of us would ski with beacons and shovels if avalanche is an inherent risk, especially when skiing with children" is very telling of his own and the general public's happy willingness disregard avy risk inbounds.
If you move the scene a few states north to Jackson Hole, Big Sky or Bridger Bowl, you will witness a local skiing population that does precisely what Heckbert mocks.
Large numbers of skiers at those resorts ski inbounds with exactly that equipment, know how to use it, and teach their children how to use it or else put some limits on where their children ski.
If these teens had been skiing with an adult, is it as likely that hiking uphill access terrain behind a closed upper gate would have occurred? Probably not. Although based on the adults around here, that's entirely supposition. Vail Mountain is not a 5,300-acre babysitter where parents get to drop the kids off and pretend nothing bad can ever happen. Nor is Beaver Creek. Nor is anywhere else, for that matter.
While Heckbert may have succeeded in convincing Judge Murphy of his interpretation of the letter of the law, he has unfortunately also succeeded in trashing the spirit of the law. The Skier Safety Act is clearly about personal responsibility for one's own actions and institutional acknowledgement that not all risk is fully controllable.
If this incident eventually succeeds with a useful community discourse and produces a population that is aware of inbounds avy risk, it will certainly be a positive outcome. If the only consequences are miles of additional rope lines and the scapegoating of a hard-working ski patrol to win another lawsuit against a deep-pocket resort corporation, I wouldn't say we should all feel good. Vail patrol may be many things, but they are not negligent.
When that inherently uncontrollable bit pops up and rears its ugly head, it doesn't feel that great to be targeted by litigation-happy attorneys and a general public unwilling to admit a big mountain might not always and everywhere be safe.
Even if the upper gate had been opened and some bombs were thrown, that doesn't mean this tragic accident would have been impossible. Fully "controlled" slopes will still slide from time-to-time on real-world mountains, apparently just not in Colorado's courts.

When firefighters stationed at San Francisco International Airport's "crash house" station get an alert, it's usually that an approaching aircraft has a mechanical problem; the fire trucks roll, but rarely are needed.
But when a female dispatcher's voice called "alert 3, alert 3, plane crash, plane crash," on Saturday, Lt. Chrissy Emmons "knew from her voice that the event we were going to was real."
All too real, as Emmons and scores of other first responders would find: Asiana Flight 214 had come in too low and slow and had clipped a seawall, shearing off its tail and sending it skidding across the ground on its belly as it caught fire. The next few minutes would test all of their senses, training and bravery.
But amid the heroism there might have been a tragic accident.
San Francisco Fire Department Capt. Dale Carnes acknowledged Monday that there's a possibility that one of Saturday's two fatalities might have been hit by an emergency vehicle.
"At this time, because we have not clearly defined or established those facts, we cannot answer your questions," Carnes said, adding he didn't want to compromise an ongoing investigation.
The airport's incoming flights still were delayed by an average of two and half hours Monday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration website, as one of its four runways remained closed and littered with debris. Four planes scheduled to land in San Francisco on Monday were expected to be diverted to Mineta San Jose International Airport, according to airport spokeswoman Vicki Day.
Elsewhere, six passengers who suffered the worst injuries remained in critical condition Monday at San Francisco General Hospital, including one child. They're being treated for an assortment of wounds including spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, abdominal injury, internal bleeding, road rash and fractures, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Also, nine more patients -- eight adults and a child -- were taken to that hospital's emergency room Sunday night with neck, back and abdominal muscle strains and soreness; all of them were treated and released.
In all, San Francisco General Hospital has treated 62 passengers from Asiana Flight 214, including 27 children; of the 17 still in the hospital, seven are children.
Wang Chuan, a spokesman for the Chinese consulate, was at the hospital Monday. "It's one of our top priorities to take care of and comfort the injured people," he said, carrying a purple orchid, a symbol of support for the Chinese victims.
National Transportation Safety Board chairwoman Deborah Hersman, at a news conference Monday in South San Francisco, said investigators believe Asiana 214 did not descend at an abnormally steep angle. But while it should've been moving at about 137 knots when landing, its flight recorder shows it was moving at only 103 knots.
Hersman said the pilots didn't ask air-traffic controllers for permission to abort the landing, pull up and fly around for another pass; they merely discussed it in the cockpit in the seconds just before the crash. "We want to understand what they knew and what they understood," she said, adding the pilots were being interviewed Monday.
The NTSB is still reviewing video of the crash "made available by the airport and by others," she said, and the airplane's tail cone remains in the water near the seawall while parts of the seawall were found several hundred feet up the runway.
Some first responders turns at the podium during a separate news conference Monday morning to describe what they'd done, their voices shaking as they apologized about being unused to speaking in front of big crowds.
San Francisco police Officer Jim Cunningham, a 28-year law enforcement veteran, said he had been finishing a routine check of an airport building when he heard another officer's calm voice over his radio, calling "code 33, 777 down." He flagged down a nearby ambulance and told the driver to follow his car through a security gate and onto the runway.
He and another officer went first to the plane's front, where they saw older passengers on the ground being tended to by flight attendants; other flight attendance called down from the plane's door, asking for knives with which they could cut more passengers free of their seat belts. The officers gave the attendants their knives, but saw the plane's wing was "gushing fuel right next to us," Cunningham said, so they began moving everyone back.
"It was absorbing into the ground," he said. "I'm thinking, if this spark hits this dry grass and fuel ..."
Fire Lt. Dave Monteverdi is usually stationed at the "crash house" too, but was working elsewhere Saturday and had just finished another call at one of terminals when the crash alert came. He and his crew, already in their truck and turnout gear, rushed to a "surreal" scene.
Emmons said as they sped across the runways toward a column of smoke, "adrenaline was flowing at this time and I had to keep reminding my driver ... if we don't get there, we can't help anybody."
They positioned their rescue truck near the plane's nose and began spraying foam on the flames that licked at the fuselage. Then Emmons circled around and met up with Monteverdi and firefighter Mike Kirk -- and the three of them went running up an inflatable chute by which passengers had been escaping.
Monteverdi went left, toward the cockpit, while Emmons and Kirk took a fire hose to the right to knock down flames while searching for passengers.
"The conditions as we went down the plane were getting better, most of the fire was in the front of the plane," Emmons said.
And then Kirk radioed back that he'd found several passengers near the plane's mangled rear end.
"We had elderly, we had a woman with a gentleman who was standing over her, we had someone who was partially trapped, as it turned out there was a small person stuck between the seats," Emmons said. "The back of the plane did not hold up as well as the front... the fuselage was definitely more impacted."
Monteverdi found nobody in the forward part of the plane, so he went to the rear to help Emmons and Kirk. As another rescue crew came in from the rear, they all set about freeing the last passengers on board.
Cunningham said when he arrived at the plane's rear and saw the firefighters inside, "it didn't look like they had enough people in there" -- so without any breathing apparatus, he went in, too, to start clearing debris in order to widen the hole so passengers could be removed.
San Francisco police Lt. Gaetano Caltagirone was his department's incident commander Saturday, but when he saw Cunningham run into the burning airplane, "I couldn't let him go inside the plane and just be there by himself."
So Caltagirone went inside too, helping Cunningham to move debris out of the way and then move the final passengers off the plane. "We're thinking, ok, we get more time. The next thing you hear is crackling and popping. You want to save lives. I also have to make sure that he (Cunningham) goes home. When is it time to leave?"
"It was so surreal, there was so much chaos going on but it was quiet," Caltagirone said -- at least, it seemed quiet to him in the heat of the moment. "It probably was very loud out there, but it was quiet and everybody was doing what they were trained to do."
Emmons said by the time the final five passengers had been removed, "the conditions inside the plane were changing very rapidly," Emmons said.
"By the time we removed the final victim... the fire was banking down on us, we had heavy black smoke," she said. "So I feel very blessed we were able to get those people off the plane in that time."
Cunningham said he saw a wall of black smoke rushing toward him as he got out of the plane. Yet, believing there was a chance that passengers were still aboard, he ducked back in for one fast, final look.
After that, "I guess we just did our job the rest of the day," he said without a hint of irony.
Cunningham needed oxygen for 15 minutes after emerging from the plane. His phone was ringing as his wife frantically called, but because he needed the oxygen, he asked a colleague to pick it up and tell her he was OK. His wife would later ask him "what were you thinking?" in light of the fact that he has an 18-month-old daughter at home.
"I said, 'If you were on that plane, wouldn't you want someone to help you?" Cunningham recounted.
Once off the plane, firefighters and police set about fighting the flames and triaging patients for transport to local hospitals -- but the immediate crisis had passed.
"I felt confident that the plane was gone through well and we did not leave anybody there," Emmons said. "At that point, it's just a fire now."
Fire rescue Capt. Tony Molloy oversaw the triage-and-treatment area: a red area for the most severely injured, a yellow area for those less harmed, and a green area for those needing only limited aid.
The reds were evacuated to local hospitals within minutes, followed by the yellows, Molloy said; the greens were moved to the airport's international terminal to be re-triaged, and more than 100 of them were eventually taken to local hospitals, too.
Caltagirone at the end of the day had told his officers: "Go home and hug your kids." Though exhausted, everyone reported for duty again Sunday, leaving their commanding officer inspired.
"They didn't worry about themselves, they worried about the lives of the people they needed to save," Caltagirone said.

Over the weekend, Apple's stock price fell from nearly $700 a share to less than $100 a share. But don't worry, Apple fans, the price drop could be a good thing for the iPhone maker's value.
The nominal decline was the result of a 7-for-1 stock split the company announced in April. Although the stock appeared Monday to have dropped 86 percent, that didn't affect the company's overall market value or the value of the Apple stock in any shareholder's portfolio. In fact, investors Monday rewarded the split by pushing up share prices.
For those confused by the split, here are some answers to their questions:
What is a stock split? It's when a company issues a certain number of shares for each one already in circulation, causing the new shares to be worth a fraction of what they were worth previously. Splits typically are 2-for-1 or 3-for-1.
In a 2-for-1 split, the stock's new per-share price would be half of what it was previously and the company would have twice as many shares in circulation. Apple executed a 7-for-1 split, so the per-share price of its stock is now one-seventh the previous price.
Apple awarded extra shares to investors who owned the company's stock as of June 2. The split-adjusted shares began trading Monday.
According to Yahoo Finance, Apple now has more than 6 billion shares of stock outstanding, up from about 860 million shares before the split.
Why do companies split their stock? They typically do stock splits to make their shares more affordable to individual investors. Also, they think mom-and-pop investors will be more likely to buy 10 shares of a stock at $50 than one share at $500. Because individual investors have limited amounts of money to invest, the argument goes, they most likely wouldn't want to commit so much to a few shares of one stock.
By attracting more individual investors -- and thereby increasing demand for their shares -- companies can potentially boost their stock price.
But stock splits have fallen out of fashion. Among companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index, there have been just 57 splits since 2009, compared with about 375 splits from 1997 to 2000.
Has Apple ever split its stock before? Yes. Apple split its stock three times previously -- in 1987, 2000 and 2005. Each of the splits was a 2-for-1 exchange that followed a big run-up in Apple's share price.
Why is Apple splitting its stock now? Since its last split nine years ago, Apple appeared to be following the lead of Google and allowing its price to fluctuate without any attempts to manipulate it through a split.
But the company's leadership appears to have had a change of heart. When announcing the split in April, CEO Tim Cook said it would make Apple's shares "more accessible to a larger number of investors."
Of course, until about two years ago, Apple didn't have to worry much about making its shares seem more attractive. Thanks to soaring sales and profits, the company's stock had been climbing steadily for three years and were up a massive 5,400 percent since 2003.
Apple in 2014, by contrast, is in a different place. With sales and earnings growth slowing to a crawl, its stock price plunged for real last summer. Although Apple's shares have since rebounded, they have yet to return to their record highs set in 2012.
How will the split affect Apple's stock? It's unclear, but it might help boost the price by getting the company into the Dow Jones industrial average.
As one of the most valuable companies in America and a representative of one of the most important business sectors, Apple would seem to be a prime candidate to join the Dow. But it's probably been kept out of the widely watched stock index because of its stock price.
The price of the Dow index is determined by the per-share price of its 30 underlying stocks, not the market value of the constituent companies. With a share price more than three times larger than the highest priced stock in the Dow -- Visa -- Apple would have immediately become an outsize component of the index. With a smaller per-share price, it's an easier fit.
If it joined the Dow, Apple could see its stock rise, thanks to the publicity surrounding the index. Meanwhile, the various mutual funds that track the Dow would be compelled to buy shares of Apple.
"From the point of view of finance, (the split) is cosmetic," said Scott Rothbort, a professor of finance at Seton Hall University. "But from a behavioral point of view, there are certain benefits."

Hi there!
I am running OSX 10.8.2, some time ago everything was fine with my PMS (1.7.2) today when I tried to stream after a while, I noticed it is somehow impossible - everytime I try, with EVERY movie (it doesn't matter if it is *mkv or any different format), it ends with 'Media server error. HTTP 500 error has occured'.
I tried running PMS 1.3 or 1.5, but the same story every time.
PS: In the PS3 menu everything looks fine - every file is shown with an icon and full name.
I would love to hear some ideas about solution of this problem, because It's kind of weird that everyting crashed with no reason in a day (without updating OSX or PMS)

- Poole: This Warriors ride was fun while it lasted
OAKLAND -- Warriors forward Harrison Barnes left Thursday night's game late in the first half with a laceration over his right eye.
With 1:15 left in the second quarter, he went up to contest a shot by San Antonio big man Boris Diaw. Barnes landed on his right side, his head banging against the hardwood, after being undercut in the air by Diaw.
Barnes laid face down on the hardwood in obvious pain. Point guard Stephen Curry immediately signaled for the trainer to come onto the court.
After several minutes, with the entire team standing around him, Barnes got up and walked off under his own power. But he went straight for the locker room, with the trainer holding a bandage over his head. He received six stitches but started the second half.
Barnes left the game for good after playing all 12 minutes of the third quarter, suffering from a headache.
It was a scary sight for Golden State fans. Not only because it was the same area that swingman Brandon Rush went down with a season-ending knee injury, but because the Warriors had come to rely heavily on Barnes.
For Thursday's Game 6, coach Mark Jackson added to the rookie's load. Not only has he become one of the primary offensive options, but he was assigned to defend Spurs All-Star guard Tony Parker.
That role had previously been given to guard Klay Thompson, but Parker hurt the Warriors with his penetration in Game 5.
Barnes had 8 points in 19 first-half minutes before his injury. Parker had three points on 1 of 6 shooting in 18 first-half minutes.
Barnes has looked like a bona fide star in these playoffs, a long way from the up-and-down rookie struggling to find his footing. He came into Tuesday averaging 16.7 points and 6.6 rebounds in 39.1 minutes.
Against the Spurs, Barnes has been relied upon heavily to exploit mismatches. He posted up Parker relentlessly. In Game 6, he had Tim Duncan on him out by the 3-point line. Barnes blew by him for the reverse layup.
"David Lee went down, and I needed to step up," Barnes said before the game. "What I've learned is that it's a lot about situation. Coach has had confidence in me and put me in this situation."
"Usually before I would do any media, I would make sure I was dressed a certain way. I brought one of my best suits," he said. "But looking down at this jersey, it's just a sense of pride I don't think I've ever felt as a professional.
"Nothing in my closet is better than what I have on now.
Jack, a first-year member of the team, had praise for everyone, but singled out CEO Joe Lacob.
"Everybody who booed Mr. Lacob at that (Chris Mullin) retirement ceremony owes that man an apology," Jack said. "One of the best people I ever got to work for in my life."
Asked if he expects to be back, the free-agent to be said, "I hope so, man. Obviously there are other things that go into seeing if that works -- we all know this is a business at the end of the day.
"If I could do it, if I could rearrange it, I would definitely be back at this same locker."
The other contribution was even less likely. Little-used center Andris Biedrins, who made an appearance in Game 4, got more action on Thursday. He played six minutes in the second quarter, getting four rebounds, an assist and three fouls.
Biedrins started the third quarter in place of Festus Ezeli. Center Andrew Bogut left the game to have his left ankle retaped. He returned to action.
Landry got seven shots and made six trips to the free-throw line, leading to his series-high of 16 points to go with six rebounds in 26 minutes. He made 8 of 12 free throws.
But Landry wasn't happy.
"I've got to make my free throws," said Landry. "Yeah, 8 of 12 is good for a big man, but not for me. I can't go from 80 percent in the regular season to 60 percent in the playoffs."

A rainbow of dreams brightened the hallway at Stockbridge Middle School on Monday. Kids posted colorful pieces of paper containing their hopes and dreams for world peace on the arched, rainbow poster in the school's hallway, in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Students at the school started their day listening to Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech broadcast over their closed circuit television system, and administrators say the MLK activities will continue throughout the week.
Despite the celebrations, some parents and workers wondered why school was in session when several other local public schools and state offices remained closed to honor the day.
Stockbridge administrators said Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an educator, and by keeping the school open on the holiday, administrators said kids were able to appreciate and better understand how to respect and tolerate each other.
The rest of the week is filled with peace related activities - including a school dance and a "good deeds" day when students will make Valentines for war veterans.

Last week, the Fisher Indian Students Association ("FISA") hosted UTSAV. What is UTSAV? In FISA's own words:
UTSAV, the flagship event of the FISA, is a celebration of everything Indian: Bollywood, Bharatnatyam, Bindis and Biryani! One of the most awaited events in Spring quarter at Fisher, UTSAV showcases the talents of our very own Fisher students, be it dancing on bollywood medleys or sashaying down in beautiful Indian clothes. A fun event for both participants and the audience, finished up with sumptuous Indian food!
Luckily the weather held up. We've had a much rainier than normal spring in central Ohio and many people worried that it might get rained out. Luckily, everything worked out. The fashion show (see photo above), the Bollywood dance routines (see below), musical interludes, etc., all went without a hitch. Great time to be had by all! If you're anywhere near Fisher's campus in mid May, you need to check out UTSAV. Definitely one of the premier events on campus! You can see additional photos from UTSAV 2011 here.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi cross country team will head to Houston, Texas to compete Friday at the 36th Annual Justin F. Cooper Memorial Rice Invitational on the campus of Rice University. The women's 4K will start at 6:30 p.m. and the men's 5k will follow at 6:50 p.m.
"It will be in some ways a Southland Conference preview with Lamar, McNeese and SFA there," head coach Shawn Flanagan said. "It will be a good test to see where we are."
In the Running: The Islanders will compete against a total of nine schools, including Southland foes Lamar, McNeese State and Stephen F. Austin. Houston Baptist, Houston, Texas Southern, Tulane, Prairie View A&M University (men only) and host Rice round out the competition.
Live Coverage: Results can be found at http://flashresults.com/flashtexas/2011/ricexcinv11/
RGV Classic Success: The Islanders swept the opening race of the season on Sept. 2 at the Rio Grande Valley Classic with the men's team taking the top four spots, while the women claimed four-of-five against UT-Pan American. Junior Patrick Kimeli and freshman Angel Banda along with seniors Julia Sambu and Kristine Burciaga clinched the top spots for the Islanders.
"All in all we are basically healthy, a few aches and pains but training is progressing nicely," Flanagan added. "We are ahead of where we were last year at this time so I am optimistic."
Leader of the Pack: Last week senior Kristine Burciaga was crowned the Southland Conference Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week. In her first race of the season at the RGV Classic, hosted by UT Pan-American, Burciaga teamed up with senior Julia Sambu on Friday to take the top spot at the race against 11 other relay teams. After finishing in second place last season, the San Antonio native, along with Sambu, ran the eight-mile race with a time of 44:02. The two had an impressive run at the event, finishing 11 seconds ahead of a pair of UTPA runners, who finished in second in 44:13. It was Burciaga's first Southland Conference weekly honor. She is the first Islander female to win the award since Anne Ronoh earned the honor in 2008.
Fresh Faces: Several freshmen made their Islanders debuts at the RGV Classic. On the men's side, Banda had an impressive first start for the Islanders, notching the top spot with Kimeli. Paul Hansel followed suit, placing second and Brandon Lacy crossed the line in third. Phillipp Baar and Christoph Hintz, both from Germany, finished sixth. The women's team saw three freshmen finish in the top five. Vanessa Galindo crossed the line in fourth place and Shelby Polasek and Jasmine Boutte teamed up to claim the fifth spot.
Islanders in the Rankings: In the latest USTFCCCA South Central region rankings the Islanders women's team maintained their spot at No. 7 regionally and are sitting in the top spot in the Southland Conference. The men's team also kept their 10th place spot in the South Central region rankings.
Islanders Head Coach Shawn Flanagan enters his 11th season as the head coach of the Islanders cross country team and 31st season as a Division I coach. Flanagan started the cross country program in 2000. He has won three Southland women's titles, four Independent women's titles and three Independent men's titles. Altogether, Flanagan holds 29 Conference titles as head coach, including the 19 conference titles he won at UTSA. He also sealed three conference titles as an assistant coach at the University of Texas, totaling 32 Conference Championships to his name.
Last Season: The men finished fifth at the Southland while the women posted a second-place finish. Kimeli advanced to the NCAA championships and finished in the top half.
Challenging Field: This season the Islanders will face a challenging schedule. After the Rice Invite in Houston, Texas, the Islanders will return home to host the Islander Splash. The Islanders will then head back on the road for their final two regular season events, the University of Texas Rogue Runners Invite and the annual Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival. The final three meets will feature the Islanders at the Southland Conference Championships, the NCAA Regional and the NCAA Nationals.
Up Next: The Islanders will return home to host the Islander Splash on Fri., Sept. 23 at West Guth Park. The college race will begin at 6 p.m.
Keep up with the Islanders: For the latest information, follow Islanders Cross Country on Twitter (@IslandersTFXC) and Facebook (Texas A&M Corpus Christi Track & Field/Cross Country).

FRENCH CAMP - A 61-year-old pedestrian who was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver along West Bowman Road near South Manthey Road in French Camp last week was identified as John Gray from New Orleans, according to the San Joaquin County Coroner's Office.
The California Highway Patrol is continuing to ask for the public's help following the incident, which took place sometime Dec. 10 or 11.
Gray was apparently crossing Bowman just west of Manthey at an undetermined time when he was hit by a minivan that fled the scene. Through physical evidence at the scene, the CHP believes that vehicle was a 2000 Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager or Chrysler Town and Country with front-end damage.
After he was struck, the impact threw Gray to the north shoulder of the road where he then hit a wood post, according to the CHP. His body was discovered last Wednesday morning by emergency personnel responding to 911 calls from citizens.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact CHP Officer Mark Butler at (209) 943-8600 in the Stockton office.
STOCKTON - A man was attacked Tuesday while trying to break up an argument between a woman and her boyfriend, authorities said.
Officers were dispatched to the 700 block of North Edison Street about 11 a.m., police said. The victim told them he was trying to resolve a dispute between the woman and her boyfriend when someone struck him in the back of the head with an unknown object, police said.
The victim was treated at a hospital for a laceration to the head, police said.

PARKERSBURG - Members of the Wood County Board of Education again rejected a school-wide free lunch program that would have served as many as 11 schools.
By a 2-2 vote, the board rejected approval of the proposed U.S.D.A. Community Eligibility Option.
The federal program provides school-wide lunch programs for students. The program is to help "the working poor," those families who are employed, but make just above the cut-off line for federal food programs.

West Virginia is one of a handful of states selected to pilot the program and has more than 35 counties enrolled. Wood County school system administrators recommended enrolling the county's 10 Title I schools and Waverly Elementary.
Board members Tad Wilson and Jim Fox voted in favor of the program. Board members Tim Yeater and John Marlow voted against it. Board member Lawrence Hasbargen was absent.
Yeater had issues with the inclusion of Waverly and taking funding from Title I schools.
"To tell them they aren't getting the money that Title I schools fight for," he said. "I don't want to be that guy."
The inclusion of Waverly would cause the school system to cover a shortfall in federal funding of about $100,000, according to John Merritt, director of federal programs for the school system. Merritt said the system receives federal funds based on free and reduced numbers.
"If we add another school that funding doesn't change," he said.
However, the money wouldn't be needed until the 2014-2015 school year.
Wilson asked Law if the recommendation was for only Title I schools or to include Waverly. Law said the recommendation is to limit the program to Title I schools.
Beverly Blough, director of food services, countered Law, telling the board it should include Waverly. She pointed out Neale Elementary, a Title I school, is 78 percent free and reduced lunch. Waverly is at 80 percent.
"I think you will have to answer to the community," she said.
Wilson moved to include Title I schools including Waverly. Fox seconded the motion.
About a year ago the board rejected a CEO plan to institute the program at 15 elementary schools and two middle schools. Fox tried to explain the board's 4-0 rejection of the proposal last year. He reasoned there was no criteria to explain why schools were eliminated from the list.
Fox said this is a different recommendation. He felt better about the program because it encompassed all Title I schools.
"This is easier to justify." he said.
"I have a hard time with this being fair and equitable to all the schools in the county," Marlow said.
Rick Wilson and several other speakers noted school systems don't charge students for bussing, textbooks or sports equipment.
"We are making schools meals consistent with other services," he said.
Wilson also said of the all the counties eligible in the state that participate in the CEO program, none have opted out.
Dana Singer, another speaker, said out of all schools engaged in the program in 2011, all of the schools recommended it for someone else.
Jane Harrington told the board kids can't be punished for the lack of parental responsibility.
"The kids can't change that and they are the ones who suffer," she said.
Jim Mullen spoke against the program, calling on the board to reject squandering taxpayer money. He said these government programs are expanding at an alarming rate.
"It teaches kids at a young age that government is there to provide for their every need," he said.
He warned the program was creating another addiction to government.
"The government must expand dependency to maintain power," he said.

Andrew Hemingway: NH shouldn't gamble with online casinos
In a reversal of a 50-year precedent, the DOJ ruled that the Wire Act of 1961 did not prevent state lotteries from selling tickets online. In fact, the Justice Department said states could go beyond selling lottery tickets online and open Internet-based �casinos� including virtual table games � blackjack, roulette, etc. � and slots, all under the umbrella of the state lottery.

What it is. My name is Kiel, former News Editor of CBR, now staff writer and teacher.
Before I worked for CBR, I was a staff writer at something called Wizard Magazine that used to be around comic shops and stuff.
Aside from the comics stuff, I'm somewhat diligently pursuing a masters degree in writing for children. I live in Chicago now but originally hail from the hardest working town in America: Flint, Michigan. If you ever meet me, remember that I give great high fives.
FIRST COMIC: It's a toss up between "Batman" #436 and "Web of Spider-Man" Annual #4. I bought them both in the same summer, and liked Batman WAY better is all I can recall.
FAVORITE CHARACTER: Tim Drake, Bleu L. Finnegan, Jack Knight, Scott Pilgrim

My research focuses on using conceptual frameworks to better understand the instruments and operation of the statutory planning system. My research focuses primarily on the planning systems of the United Kingdom. Specific aspects of the planning system that I have worked on recently include strategic spatial planning and planning enforcement.
Neil has completed research for government, professional bodies, charities and campaigning organisations and has advised government on the planning system in Wales.
'A New Approach to Managing Development in Wales'.
This Welsh Government funded project explores the potential for change to the system of development management in Wales and will inform legislative change and the crafting of Wales's first planning act in 2015. The project is being completed with Arup and Liz Mills Associates and draws on comparative study of other planning systems.
'The detection and investigation of breaches of planning control'.
This pilot project is funded by Cardiff University and explores the role that members of the public play in supporting the planning enforcement functions of local planning authorities. The project draws on surveillance studies literature to explore citizen-engagement in the enforcement of planning controls.

This two-stage research project was funded by the Federation of Small Businesses. The Federation was concerned that the planning system in Wales was not meeting the needs of small businesses. The project reviewed national planning policies and explored small business applicants' experiences of the planning system. The project made recommendations for ensuring that the planning system was more suited to the needs of small businesses.

Something has been bugging me for a couple of decades. Everybody I know in this area refers to Lakeview as being in Eastern Oregon. Could you tell me why that is? It is definitely not in Eastern Oregon. It drives me crazy.
— Dan S., Medford
Most folks here do refer to Lakeview as being in Eastern Oregon. Never mind the mile-high town is smack dab in the center of the state.
We could hazard a couple of guesses, one being that a lot of folks figure anything east of the Cascade Range is Eastern Oregon, because the lion's share of the population is found along the Interstate 5 corridor.
But those living in places such as Burns Junction, Vale, Baker City and Joseph know where the real Eastern Oregon lies.
To help you avoid going bonkers, we decided to check in with veteran cartographer Stuart Allan of Medford, who truly knows Oregon like the back of his hand. He is a longtime member of the Oregon Geographic Names Board.
Given the layout of the state, it's understandable that many move the center of the state a bit to the west, he observes.
"They have big counties over there," he says. "It's implausible to me that Central Oregon is only one county wide. So I've always thought of Lakeview as being in Eastern Oregon."
On the map, Lakeview is dead center on an east-to-west trajectory, he says. But he is quick to observe human reference points go beyond the mere geographic.
"In Central Oregon, you have The Dalles, Madras, Redmond, Bend and Klamath Falls," he says. "But you only have these tiny places east of that."
Yet Allan, who notes he has been to the real Eastern Oregon a zillion times, finds the region attractive.
"It's a fantastic area, especially when you get tired of the gray over here," he says.
Send questions to "Since You Asked," Mail Tribune Newsroom, P.O. Box 1108, Medford, OR 97501; by fax to 541-776-4376; or by email to email@example.com. We're sorry, but the volume of questions received prevents us from answering all of them.

Knitter's Review

For some of us knitters, dishcloths are like catnip. We can't stop knitting them.
Lion Brand recently tossed its hat into the dishcloth-friendly yarn arena with a new cotton called, quite fittingly, Kitchen Cotton. When I saw it, I knew I had to call in the big guns. I've asked Kay Gardiner, one of my favorite pro-cotton writers and the northernmost voice of Mason-Dixon Knitting, to put Kitchen Cotton through its paces. Here's her report.

I'm kinda pissed my NHL Center Ice trial package ends today. I'd love to purchase the package, but really only flip it on in the evening after the kid goes to bed, so its not really worth the investment. Due to the lockout, the NHL should offer it free the entire season to gain what casual fans they had back. If I had it free the entire season I might be persuaded to purchase it next season.
Being that I typically watch in the later evening I'm becoming partial to the Canucks; love watching the play of the Sundin line. I used to be a big Luongo fan before his recent contract talks, its becoming annoying. I've also enjoyed watching the Sharks, they are top to bottom stacked. I know I know I sound like a bandwagon fan, but really I just like good solid hockey. I grew up a North Stars fan and followed them in Dallas until all the players I grew up with retired. I'm just an NHL fan now, I follow no participial team.
