Kansas City Animal Control found Harry, a neglected chow chow, chained in a backyard late last month and brought him to KC Pet Project, an animal shelter in Missouri, ABC News reported. The dog, who had been outside without food or water, was in terrible shape.
"We found a shocking five pounds of heavy, hardened and matted hair more than six inches thick covering his emaciated body," the staff at the shelter wrote on their Facebook page. "Even more disturbing, most of his nose is missing, consistent with a sharp cut from an unknown object."

SALEM, Oregon - Oregon will soon offer free community college enrollment. The Oregon state legislature passed a bill last week with bipartisan support that ensures that if eligible students apply for federal grants for community college, the states will cover the remainder of their tuition.
To qualify, students must have applied for the state and federal aid grants available to them, lived in Oregon for at least one year, and maintained a grade point average of at least 2.5. They also must enroll in community college within six months of completing their high school degree or its equivalent. The program could have wide-reaching effects in Oregon, since there are roughly 70,000 Oregonia |

THE TODAY SHOW on NBC mornings, is four hours long. 84% of its broadcast contains commercials and promotions! The remaining 16% content is all too often less interesting than the commercials! Why the hell do we put up with it? I mean, it's capitalism gone amok. I'd nearly rather die than be forced to watch Matt Lauer every morning.
Most people just put up with it, won't buy a DVR to bypass the steady deluge of moronic soap bubbles. They smile and some even plan for the future when the world around them is falling apart and I'm not talking about sinkholes. Not everyone loves science. They'd rather read little signs on Facebook with shared comments declaring: SHARE IF YOUR DOG LOVES YOU, |

One barber gives back to those in need one haircut at a time.
Nasir Sobhani, a 26-year-old based in Melbourne, Australia, spends most of his week cutting hair. But on his one day off, the barber, who is a former drug addict, takes to the streets and gives haircuts to homeless people as part of an initiative he calls "Clean Cut, Clean Start." The 26-year-old, aka the Streets Barber, began his initiative about a year ago as a way to show his appreciation for his sobriety, as well as help people in need get a new beginning, the Herald Sun reported. It's this selflessness that's the subject of a recently released short documentary, "The Streets Barber." "A haircut can do so much for |

The shoddy battery life in his hearing aid really “bugged” Ethan Manuell. Now it’s possible that millions of people will benefit from his five-minute rule.
As part of an eighth grade class project, Ethan, who has worn a hearing aid since age four, conducted an experiment using robotic bugs and found that hearing aid batteries will last up to 85% longer when exposed to the air for five minutes before insertion. “Most people don’t know this, so they just pull the tab off and insert it, like it’s a sticker or something,” said Ethan, who lives in Minnesota with hEthan’s audiologist, Dr. Mary Meier, has been sharing the news with other patients at the Olmsted Medical Center.

A 10-year old, hunchbacked, mixed breed dog named "Quasi Modo" was awarded first place at the World's Ugliest Dog Competition on Friday, according to a press release for the Petaluma, California, event.
Quasi, whose short spine makes her resemble a hyena, "epitomized excellence in ugliness" Chief Judge Brian Sobel said. The designation won $1,500 for her owner. This wasn't Quasi's first rodeo. Last year, the spunky Florida pup won second place, losing out to small, wild-eyed dog named Peanut. Quasi's pageant bio says that despite the multiple birth defects that contribute to her odd appearance, she is a happy dog who loves to run and play. She also works as an "ambassador for teachi |

Summer is off to a pretty sweet start for one girl.
Gabrielle Garcar, an elementary school student in Ohio, was selling lemonade to earn money to buy a new electronic tablet, when a local police officer surprised her with the device. Sheriff's Deputy Zach Ropos was so impressed with the 9-year-old's work ethic that he decided to give her the tablet himself, ABC News reported. Ropos, an officer in Lake County, Ohio, stopped by Gabrielle’s stand on Monday. After paying $3 for a 50-cent cup of lemonade, he learned what she planned to do with the money, but knew it might be difficult for her to reach her goal. "I talked to the little girl, gave her a speech about how courageous and admi |
