An 89-year-old woman was seriously injured when a pit bull bit her on the arm in the backyard of her Pasadena home Wednesday afternoon, according to the Anne Arundel County Fire Department. Animal control has confiscated and quarantined the dog for the time being, as is standard procedure after a dog bite, said Battalion Chief Steve Thompson, a fire spokesman. Police are investigating the incident, he said. According to Thompson, emergency personnel responded to the 200 block of Arundel Road in the Riviera Beach community of Pasadena about 3:25 p.m. for a report of a dog bite and found the woman, who was not identified, in her backyard with a serious wound to her arm. Preliminary evidence indicated the woman was standing at the fence in her backyard when her next-door neighbor's dog allegedly jumped up on the other side of the fence, so its front paws were on the top of the fence, and bit her, Thompson said.

Charles Greene II lay immersed in a pool of his sweat as the snow and rain collected around him on the Johns Hopkins track. It was December 1982 and Greene had just completed his six-minute mile, which was required of anyone trying out for coach Dick Oles' Blue Jays fencing team. But he was exhausted and felt unable to walk to Oles' office, which led some other students trying out to ask Oles whether they should help him. The coach's response? Leave him until he was able to get to the fencing room on his own. Though his legs wouldn't carry him, Greene was able to crawl to the room, where he again fell, prompting the students a second time to ask whether they should move him. And again, Oles said no. He reasoned that Greene would move when he's ready or when he was tired of being stepped on. "[That was one of my fondest memories]
