Arlington's Office of Emergency Management (OEM) encourages residents to make a commitment to being better prepared for emergencies in 2014, perhaps even by making it a new year's resolution.
OEM highlights the statewide Ready Virginia initiative and asks Arlington residents to join in the campaign by having a plan in case of emergencies.
"I believe we all have a role in emergency management by ensuring that we are prepared, that we have a plan and that we get involved," said Arlington County Office of Emergency Management Director Jack Brown.
Families should devise an emergency plan and go over it together. All members of the family should understand crucial aspects of the plan such as where to meet if the family is separated. Post the plan in an easily viewed place, such as on the refrigerator. Answer the following questions when coming up with the plan:
- Do you and your family members have contact phone numbers memorized or written down and available in backpacks and wallets?
- Do you have a plan on how to meet up with family if you are separated?
- Do you know how to contact your children's school in case of an emergency?
- Do you have three days of emergency supplies and water set aside?
The emergency kit should contain enough of the following items to last for three days:
- Battery-powered radio and extra batteries
- Non-perishable food and a can opener
- Water
- Flashlights
- First aid kit and medications
- Pet supplies
Home isn't the only place residents need to be prepared. OEM notes that emergencies can happen at work and in the car, so separate plans should be made for safety in those locations. For example, OEM spokesman John Crawford noted that during the Navy Yard shooting last year, some people were required to "shelter in place." Many did not have adequate food, water or medications in their work area. In addition to those supplies, Crawford also recommends keeping a small flashlight, batteries and a battery operated cell phone charger at work.
Having emergency contact numbers written on a paper and kept in a purse or wallet can come in handy should a cell phone battery die.
"When the emergency comes, all our contact information is in our cell phones, a majority of phone numbers are there," said Crawford. "If you lose the ability to get that information and your phone is dead, you can't access emergency numbers."
The current cold snap is another example of a situation when preparedness can be beneficial. Drivers should prepare for the possibility of becoming stranded by keeping plenty of gas in their vehicles and keeping cell phones charged. Have extra blankets and snacks in the car as well.
"Winter preparedness may be a little bit different from summer preparedness, but if you're prepared for one emergency, you're pretty much prepared for every emergency," said Crawford. "In the Snowmageddon a couple years ago, people were stranded for hours on the GW Parkway. The lessons we learned from that is that people were not prepared. People needed water and food and they didn't have it. They needed blankets and didn't have it."
One of the important factors about having preparedness plans is to practice them often so they become second nature. Not being well versed in all aspects of the plan could be dangerous in an emergency when stress could cause details to be forgotten.
"If you train enough in anything, and then the disaster comes, you won't think twice about what you have to do," Crawford said. "You'll already know what to do."
The Arlington Prepares mobile app can be downloaded onto Apple and Android devices. Residents can also sign up for Arlington Alert, which allows the county to contact you during an emergency by sending messages to your email or mobile device.
It started on Thursday night with numerous police vehicles zooming into Clarendon with sirens blaring. Drivers pulled over and pedestrians stopped in their tracks. Suddenly, revelers were met with a most unusual sight — a superhero in a cape and leotard emerging from the Chooser Cruiser. Arlington, meet Soberman.
While his getup produced many laughs, Soberman's message was serious: don't drink and drive. Speaking through a police car loudspeaker, Soberman told everyone to have fun and enjoy their adult beverages, but to make a smart choice when trying to get home by using a designated driver, taxi, public transportation or by walking.
Soberman's appearance was coordinated by the Arlington County Police Department and the Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP). Attendees were reminded of WRAP's free holiday taxi service through SoberRide, which runs through New Year's Day.
WRAP President Kurt Erickson said this is a bit of a different tactic for getting people not to drink and drive. The idea is all about engaging people in a fun way to get Soberman's message to sink in.
"The message for the rest of the year is that police have stepped up to apprehend drunk drivers. But this message is not about that. This message is hey, celebrate responsibly," said Erickson. "It's extremely well received. It's just a little bit of a different message."
Soberman repeatedly said that people should enjoy the holiday cheer and they don't necessarily need to stop drinking, they just should be responsible after drinking. He said his mission is "not to be a buzz kill, only to make sure the buzz doesn't hit the road."
Drinkers and non-drinkers alike gathered around Soberman to chat with him and to pose for photos. Passengers leaned out of passing cars to snap pictures and people who spotted the commotion came out of buildings to get a better glimpse. Soberman yelled across Wilson Blvd to a number of drinkers who had just stepped out of bars and began cheering. He waved them over to his spot in front of Whitlow's.
"Partiers of Clarendon, come over here! Soberman wants to talk to you about how you're getting home!" he said. "You can win prizes!"
The anti-drunk driving superhero approached one man emerging from a bar and said, "Hello, Arlington partier. I am Soberman." The bar patron promptly replied, "I am Drunkman." Soberman congratulated the man for having fun and asked the all-important question,"Drunkman, how are you getting home tonight?"
Like all those who were able to prove they had a safe and sober ride home, the man received a Starbucks gift card from Soberman for making a wise choice. The man flashed a Metro card and said he had no intention of getting behind the wheel.
Soberman especially encouraged folks in Clarendon to use social media to spread the word about staying sober while driving. Those who took the message to Twitter have a chance to win a John Wall or Alex Ovechkin bobblehead.
Part of the campaign is to get drinkers to plan ahead instead of trying to come up with a way to get home once they are already impaired.
"People just need to plan ahead, but they often don't," Erickson said. "Leaving the bar is not the time to make an exit strategy. If you're able to plan an evening out, you should be able to plan a safe way home."
Soberman first appeared at the end of August but has been particularly active during the holiday season.
"My mission is to prevent drunk driving before it starts," said Soberman. "Any way you get home safe after having adult beverages — by designated driver or bus or Metro or cab — is the safe and sober choice."
In light of the holiday party season being in full swing and lasting through the new year, the Arlington County Police Department reminds residents to pay attention and stay safe on the roads.
ACPD reminds drivers to use seat belts, drive safely and pay attention to the roads. In addition to an increase in drunk drivers and distracted drivers around the holidays, police report 32 percent of drivers are more likely to drive more aggressively during this time.
Police had noticed an uptick in drunk driving incidents last month, just before Thanksgiving. During the Thanksgiving weekend alone, Virginia had 11 traffic fatalities. The ACPD hopes drivers will heed its safety message in order to avoid a similar scenario around the Christmas and New Year's Eve holidays.
Here are the safety tips offered by ACPD:
- Buckle up — The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that more than half of the people killed nationwide in traffic collisions were not wearing seatbelts.
- Protect Child Passengers — The safest place for child passengers is in the back seat. Be sure they have a child safety seat and that it is used the correct way.
- Don't Drink & Drive — Every 45 minutes in the U.S., someone dies from an alcohol-related crash. Be responsible and don't drink and drive. If you do drink, designate a sober driver or take a cab or public transportation. The Arlington County Police Department is participating in the annual "Drive Sober Or Get Pulled Over" enforcement initiative that continues through the New Year's holiday.
- Avoid Distractions — 10% of fatal crashes and 18% of injuries caused by crashes were distraction related in 2012. Distractions to avoid while driving include, but aren't limited to, cell phone use, texting, eating, drinking, and using in-vehicle technologies or portable electronic devices.
- Prepare for Inclement Weather — Last year, 4% of car crash fatalities over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend were weather related. Be sure your car is weather ready and fully serviced. Should the weather be bad, avoid driving. If you are driving, be sure to drive slowly and know your vehicle.
The department added the following greeting: "From our family to yours, the Arlington County Police Department wishes you a safe, happy, and accident free holiday season."
Safety Improvements Approved for Custis, W&OD Trails – The County Board on Saturday (December 14) approved funding for safety improvements for the Custis Trail and the W&OD Trail. The approval is the first step toward constructing federally-funded improvements for the Custis Trail along Lee Highway at N. Oak Street, N. Quinn Street and N. Scott Street. Improvements will also happen along the W&OD Trail at S. Four Mile Run Drive where it meets S. George Mason Drive, S. Oakland Street and at the entrance to the Barcroft Sport and Fitness Center.

The Arlington County Fire Department is reminding residents to be cautious while cooking up a holiday feast this week, considering Thanksgiving is the busiest day for home cooking fires.
ACFD encourages cooks to stay alert while in the kitchen because the leading cause of cooking fires is leaving equipment unattended. The department also discourages the use of outdoor gas fueled turkey fryers due to fire and burn hazards when hot oil splashes during the cooking process.
The department recommends adhering to the following safety tips from the U.S. Fire Administration:
- Stay in the kitchen when cooking and turn off the stove if you leave the kitchen, even for a short period of time. Check on food regularly to make sure it is not burning.
- Use a timer to remind you that you're cooking.
- Stay alert. You won't be alert if you have been drinking alcohol or have taken medicine that makes you drowsy.
- Keep all flammable items — such as potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, food packaging, towels, or curtains — away from your stovetop.
- Keep the stovetop, burners and oven clean.
- Wear short, close-fitting or tightly rolled sleeves when cooking. Loose clothing can dangle onto stove burners and catch fire if it comes into contact with a gas flame or electric burner.
- Plug microwave ovens and other cooking appliances directly into an outlet. Never use an extension cord for a cooking appliance, as it can overload the circuit and cause a fire.
There are also safety tips specifically for using turkey fryers:
- Use turkey fryers outdoors a safe distance from buildings and any other combustible materials.
- Never use turkey fryers in a garage or on a wooden deck.
- Make sure fryers are used on a flat surface to reduce accidental tipping.
- Never leave the fryer unattended. Most units do not have thermostat controls. If you do not watch the fryer carefully, the oil will continue to heat until it catches fire.
- Never let children or pets near the fryer even if it is not in use. The oil inside the cooking pot can remain dangerously hot for hours after use.
- To avoid oil spillover, do not overfill the fryer.
- Use well-insulated potholders or oven mitts when touching pot or lid handles. If possible, wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from oil splatter.
- Make sure the turkey is completely thawed and be careful with marinades. Oil and water do not mix; water causes oil to spill over and cause a fire or even an explosion hazard.
- Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher nearby. Never use water to extinguish a grease fire. If the fire grows too large, immediately call the fire department for help.
Follow these tips if a fire does break out:
- When in doubt, just get out. When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire. Call 911 after you leave.
- If you do try to fight the fire, be sure others are already getting out and you have a clear path to the exit.
- Always keep an oven mitt and a lid nearby when you are cooking. If a small grease fire starts in a pan, smother the flames by carefully sliding the lid over the pan (make sure you are wearing the oven mitt). Turn off the burner. Do not move the pan. To keep the fire from restarting, leave the lid on until the pan is completely cool.
- In case of an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed to prevent flames from burning you or your clothing.
- If you have a fire in your microwave oven, turn it off immediately and keep the door closed. Never open the door until the fire is completely out. Unplug the appliance if you can safely reach the outlet.
- After a fire, both ovens and microwaves should be checked and/or serviced before being used again.
If you find yourself in immediate physical danger while walking through a neighborhood, heading to a nearby fire station may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But the Arlington County Fire Department hopes to change that with its "Safe Haven lobbies."
Although it is not yet widely known, a number of the county's fire stations have been outfitted with special lobby features to protect a person who goes there for help.
The person in danger can go through the outside doors and into the fire station lobby, where the second set of doors leading to the rest of the fire station is always locked. When the person pushes the button on an emergency box inside the lobby, the outside doors automatically lock and the box calls 911. Someone at the county's Emergency Communications Center (ECC) answers as if it were a typical 911 call placed from a phone. They speak to the person to determine the type of emergency and will then dispatch the appropriate emergency responders to the location.
There are cameras on the ceiling of the lobby that turn on when the emergency button is pushed. While waiting for police or fire fighters to respond, staff at the ECC will monitor the cameras to see what is happening during the call. The outside lobby doors will remain locked until ECC workers hang up the call when they determine the caller is safe.
The system can be used at any time, even if the station is empty while fire fighters are out on a call.
"The fire house is somewhere you can always come if you're in danger. If you need help or have to call 911, you can come to any fire house," said ACFD spokeswoman Lt. Sarah Marchegiani. "It's important to know that if you live close to one of these locations, one of the five that have it, that this exists and it's another safety for you."
All of the newer fire stations — 2, 3, 5, 6 and 9 — have a Safe Haven equipped lobby. Fire Station No. 9 was the first to be outfitted with the system when it was renovated in the late 1990s. The older stations were not built with lobbies, but the goal is to eventually install this type of a system in all of Arlington's stations when they are upgraded or replaced.
So far nobody has used the system, but it's unclear if that is because citizens haven't had the need or if they're not yet aware the Safe Haven lobbies exist.
The National Park Service is planning to install a "flashing beacon warning system" at a trail crossing on the GW Parkway next week.
The flashing lights will be installed at the crosswalk on the northbound GW Parkway, just prior to Memorial Circle.
"The purpose is to improve safety and increase awareness by slowing down traffic when pedestrians and bicyclists intend to cross the Parkway," the Park Service said in a press release, adding: "Trail users need to be aware that the flashing beacon is a warning, not a stop sign."
The lights will be temporary — in place for about a month. Park officials will consider the effectiveness of the installation during an upcoming evaluation of long-term safety and traffic improvements on the parkway.
The Park Service made a series of pedestrian and traffic safety improvements on the GW Parkway last year. That followed a number of pedestrian accidents and near-misses.
The installation of the flashing beacon is expected to take place at some point next week.

Ft. Myer Drive in Rosslyn has become a hazard for pedestrians due to ongoing construction, but no solutions are on the horizon, according to county staff.
At the County Board's Tuesday afternoon meeting, Arlington Transportation Bureau Chief Wayne Wentz had no major recommendations for safety upgrades to the heavily-used roadway. The construction that has most adversely affected safety — on the 1812 N. Moore Street skyscraper – is expected to be largely finished by Oct. 31, but the safety concerns will persist.
"We're never going to be done looking at Ft. Myer Drive," Wentz said. "We've looked a lot at jaywalking. We just can't find a way to put a crosswalk in there."
Wentz said county staff is considering installing signs telling residents not to jaywalk in front of the road's tunnel — a common crossing zone for those entering and exiting from the back entrance of the Rosslyn Metro Station. The county is also in discussion to put up fencing on the sidewalk and in the two small median islands on either side of the tunnel.
"We need to be more proactive in preventing crossing there," Board Member Mary Hynes said, "given the fact that we have had near-misses and a hit there relatively recently."
The sidewalk between N. Moore Street and Ft. Myer Drive on 19th Street will remain closed after Oct. 31, Wentz said. The size of Ft. Myer Drive in that area is part of what makes it unfeasible to install a crosswalk. With more than five lanes, the likelihood of a multi-vehicle accident is much greater than on a smaller road.
"We think that there is a chance to reconfigure what Ft. Myer Drive looks like. It could be a two-way street or a narrower street someday," Wentz said. "There is hope in the future to do something different there, but we don't recommend it at this time."
Numerous accidents have been reported around Arlington today as continued rainy weather is making for slick conditions on the roads.
AAA Mid-Atlantic is reminding motorists to drive carefully in wet weather.
The association sent out the following press release this afternoon.
As the coastal storm continues through the Washington metro area today, motorists will face hazardous driving conditions during their evening commute due to rain and standing water, warns AAA Mid-Atlantic. The auto club is advising motorists to exercise caution when driving.
"Commuters heading home tonight will face the same hazardous weather conditions as this morning's drive to work," said John B. Townsend II, AAA Mid-Atlantic's Manager of Public and Government Affairs. "When driving in wet weather remember to buckle up, slow down, and keep a safe distance from the car in front of you. Also, remember, it's the law in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia to turn your headlights on if your windshield wipers are in use."
To minimize the hazards associated with wet weather driving, AAA Mid-Atlantic recommends the following precautions for navigating in heavy rain, reduced visibility and slick pavement:
- Slow down and increase following distances. Speed limits are set for ideal road conditions. When it rains, visibility is reduced and braking distances increase. On dry pavement, a safe following distance permits two to three seconds for stopping; that should be increased to eight seconds on slippery roads. Train your eyes farther down the road than normal, so you can anticipate changes and adjust your course gradually.
- Do not attempt to drive through standing water on the roads that look too deep. Avoid bridges and roads that are known to flood. When driving on pothole-filled roads, hold the steering wheel firmly to avoid losing control. Just a few inches of water can turn your vehicle into a boat, and could put your life, and the lives of those around you, at great risk. Turn around; find another way to get to your destination.
- Watch out for hydroplaning. No car is immune from hydroplaning on wet surfaces, including four-wheel drive vehicles. Just because brakes work under normal conditions doesn't mean they will react the same on slippery roads where tires roll with far less traction.
- Alert drivers behind you that you're slowing with your brake lights. Without anti-lock brakes, squeeze the brakes until they are about to lock up and then release. With anti-lock brakes, use the same move – but don't pump the brakes, which would work against the operation of the ABS system. Slow down as you approach a pothole. However, do not brake when your vehicle is directly over a pothole.
- Use the central lanes. When driving during heavy rain, use center lanes of the road (without straddling the yellow line). Avoid outside lanes where the water collects at curbside.
- Use low-beam headlights to help other drivers see your car and increase visibility.
- Use your defroster with your air conditioning to keep the air dry and prevent windows from fogging.
- Do not drive around barricades. Many lives have been lost when drivers disregard official orders and find themselves trapped in rising waters.
- Turn off the cruise control in wet weather driving. The use of cruise control on wet roads can cause hydroplaning.
- If conditions worsen to the point where there is any doubt about your safety, take the nearest exit and find a safe location. Don't just stop on the shoulder or under a bridge where you may feel less anxiety. If your visibility is compromised, other drivers may be struggling too.
- Watch for slick spots on the road. Fumes and oil leaks that build up on dry pavement rise to the surface of the road when it rains, making the road far slicker than it may seem.
The electronic sign the Arlington County Police Department stationed at Washington Blvd and Route 50 with the seemingly obvious message "don't hit the car in front of you" may have accomplished its intended goal. ACPD reports a reduction in accidents at the intersection.
The department targeted that particular area with an electronic message due to the high number of crashes there. It was the county's top area for accidents during the second quarter of 2013. After the sign went up, however, the department saw a change.
"It appears the sign worked because there was a sharp decrease in accidents from July to August," said ACPD spokesman Dustin Sternbeck.
The sign went up in early July, and from then until today (September 11), police have only responded to two accidents. That's down from about 15 during the second quarter.
The department believes the simplicity of the sign's message may be what caused drivers to take notice and heed the warning. Despite the large amount of attention it received, the message did not produce any complaints to police.
The electronic sign is one of four ACPD owns, all of which are mounted on trailers so they can be easily moved around the county. The signs are rotated on a regular basis; messages typically remain for about two months, unless they show a short term alert such as a special event or one-time road closure. This specific sign was changed a few days after ARLnow.com ran the story last month.
When school starts on Tuesday, the Arlington County Police will again increase their presence on the roads and in school zones.
Police officers will be a high-visibility presence, directing traffic in school zones, and variable message boards will be placed along county roadways reminded drivers to take extra precaution as students start returning to area schools.
Arlington County issued the following tips for safe driving on the first day of school:
Drivers are reminded to:
- Obey speed limits which may change during school zone times.
- Avoid distracted driving and keep your attention on the road.
- Watch for students walking and riding bikes to school.
- Don't pass a stopped school bus loading or unloading passengers.
- Have all occupants wear their seatbelts.
Students, bicyclists and pedestrians are reminded to:
- Cross the street at marked crosswalks and never against a red light.
- Look before you cross and follow the direction of the school crossing guards.
- Always walk on designated sidewalks or paths never along the side of a road.
With a little prevention, all drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians can arrive at their destinations in a timely and safe manner.
Sept. 3 is also being billed by AAA Mid Atlantic as "Terrible Traffic Tuesday," the day when roads are jammed because school returns and summer vacation season ends.
According to AAA, "the average 20.4 minute daily delay that drivers experienced around [the D.C. area] in July and August will return to an average of 25.8 minutes during September."
Arlington drivers are the 10th worst in the country, according to Allstate Insurance Company.
The company released its annual America's Best Drivers Report this week and once again, Arlington is near the bottom. The county ranked 10th worst, with drivers going an average of 6.7 years between accidents. That means drivers here are 50 percent more likely to get in an accident than the national average.
Bad driving in the D.C. area isn't just confined to Arlington, however. Alexandria ranked below Arlington as the 7th worst while Baltimore and the District ranked as No. 2 and 1 worst, respectively.
Arlington's drivers seem to be getting worse over time, at least according to Allstate's statistics. Last year, Arlington was ranked as 12th worst, and in 2011 the county was ranked 14th worst. In 2011, Arlington drivers went an average of 6.8 years between accidents.
The safest drivers in the country, meanwhile, reside in Fort Collins, Colo., where motorists go nearly 14 years between accidents on average. The national average is 10 years between accidents, according to Allstate.
An electronic sign the Arlington County Police Department stationed at Washington Boulevard and Route 50 is raising some eyebrows. Not because the message it displays is risqué, but rather because it seems so obvious.
The sign has been programmed to display the phrase "don't hit the car in front of you." The message has drawn national media attention, with the likes of Fox News and The Blaze picking up the story.
Earlier this month, @CruiseInDeCarr tweeted a photo of the sign to ARLnow.com, adding: "You wouldn't think we'd need a sign for this." While that may be the logical assumption, it appears drivers haven't heeded the obvious advice, considering that intersection came in as the top area for motor vehicle accidents in Arlington during the second quarter of 2013. During that time period, police responded to 11 accidents at the site, nearly all of them rear-end collisions.
The ACPD believes the sign has caught drivers' attention due to the simplicity of the wording.
"The current message was an attempt to simplify the message to reduce the amount of accidents as much as possible," said ACPD spokesman Dustin Sternbeck. "It's intended to have a positive effect in terms of reducing the number of accidents because that site has been identified as a top accident location in Arlington. As long as people are paying attention, it [the sign] may affect their driving behavior."
The sign is one of four the ACPD purchased from 2004-2006. It cost around $16,000, with about half of the cost being covered by grant money from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. All the messages displayed on the boards rotate and are changed after two months. Previous messages included "high accident area ahead", "no merge area", "safety is no accident" and "maintain safe following distance."
The signs are mounted on trailers that can be moved around the county to warn drivers of construction zones, inform them of traffic safety campaigns or alert them to special events. The ACPD says the signs operate on deep cycle 12 volt batteries and the necessary maintenance is minimal.

(Updated at 12:50 p.m.) Residents across the county are encouraged to head out tonight to meet their neighbors at the activities planned for National Night Out.
At National Night Out, neighbors take a stand against crime in their communities. They strengthen relationships with each other and the police officers who patrol the neighborhoods. The event is held across the country on the first Tuesday in August and is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
Arlington has events planned for the occasion at the following six locations:
- Arlington Forest Ice Cream Social — 200 block of N. Galveston Street, 7:30 p.m.–TBD
- Barcroft Community House — 800 S. Buchanan Street, 6:30–8:00 p.m.
- Fairlington Community Center — 3005 S. Abingdon Street, 6:30-8:00 p.m.
- Nauck Neighborhood at Drew Model Elementary School — 3500 S. 23rd Street, 6:30–8:00 p.m.
- Park Glen Condominium Courtyard — 800 block of S. Arlington Mill Drive, 6:30–8:00 p.m.
- Columbia Knoll Condominiums at Greenbriar Baptist Church — 5401 S. 7th Road, 6:30–8:00 p.m.
Police officers will be on hand at each of the locations to chat with neighbors and to answer questions about current crime trends. They can also answer questions about general safety and offer neighborhood-specific suggestions for staying safe.
Everyone is welcome to attend the family friendly festivities.
(Updated at 12:55 p.m.) Independence Day is on Thursday and that means fireworks stands are busy with people stocking up on items to light up the night. But before buying certain types of fireworks that could lead to an encounter with the law, check out the guidelines from the Arlington County Fire Department.
Although ACFD notes that the safest way for residents to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public display by a trained professional, it recognizes that many people will purchase their own. To avoid facing prosecution for illegal fireworks, use the following guidelines listed in the county code:
- Fireworks must have a hard-coated or slow burning fuse that measures at least one-and-a-half inches long, with a burning rate of at least four seconds.
- Fireworks that are projectiles or emit flames or sparks in excess of 12 feet are prohibited.
- Residents must be at least 18 years old to purchase fireworks.
- Arlington County uses the same guidelines as Fairfax County, which has posted an extensive list online of approved fireworks.
Customers should only purchase items from a licensed vendor displaying a current permit. Those with a permit issued by Arlington County can only sell fireworks permissible by the county.
ACFD also refers residents to the following general safety tips for handling fireworks, compiled by FEMA and the U.S. Fire Administration:
- Never allow children to play with or ignite fireworks. Sparklers, considered by many the ideal "safe" firework for the young, burn at very high temperatures and can easily ignite clothing. Children cannot understand the danger involved and cannot act appropriately in case of emergency.
- Read and follow all warnings and instructions.
- Be sure other people are out of range before lighting fireworks. Never shoot a firework at or near another person.
- Only light fireworks on a smooth, flat surface away from the house, dry leaves, and flammable materials.
- Never try to re-light fireworks that have not fully functioned. Douse and soak them with water and throw them away.
- Keep a bucket of water handy in case of a malfunction or fire.
- Never ignite fireworks in a container, especially a glass or metal container.
- Keep unused fireworks away from firing areas.
- Store fireworks in a dry, cool place. Check instructions for special storage directions.
- Observe local laws.
- Never have any portion of your body directly over a firework while lighting.
- Don't experiment with homemade fireworks.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Deloitte in November 2014.Interview Details
I met a manager and through him applied for the internship. The application was done online. A few days later I got a call to set up a phone interview for the next day. It was two 30 minute phone interviews. Both were behavioral based interviews with about half of the time given to me to ask questions. Later that night I received an email inviting me back for in office interviews.
In-office interviews were simple as well. Two more thirty minute interviews that were based around my resume. They went through a slide show and showed us some of the benefits or working at Deloitte and then it was over.Interview Questions

This was one of the most relaxed interviews I've had. I interviewed with a Manager, Senior Manager and Partner back to back for 30 minutes each. All behavioral questions, simply getting to know me as a person and prospective employee. I also got a tour of the office and was taken out for breakfast by two consultants before my interview. Very nice.Accepted Offer

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Deloitte in October 2014.Interview Details
I applied through campus recruiting. Two back to back interviews. The first one was structured with a list of behavioral questions with a manager. The second one was with a director, which was all open floor. Be sure you have enough questions to ask him for half an hour. Unfortunately, he shot down my first question with a simple "No. Easiest question I answered all day. Next". I am assuming he had a long day already. Also, the HR e-mailed me back (finally, after countless messages) addressing me by the wrong name.Interview Questions

I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Deloitte in October 2014.Interview Details
Started the process through my univerisity. Sent application through the university's career website and received an email requesting an on campus interview the following week. Back to back interview was an hour with each interviewer, both interviewers were partners at the firm. Very nice and supportive people, questions were very standard: "Walk me through your resume" "Tell me about a time you were on a team and what role did you play". An exact week after the on campus interview, I received a call requesting a second interview at the HQ in NYC. Second round was also two interviews with partners that lasted 30 minutes each. Same type of questions as on campus: "Walk me through your resume" "Tell me about a time you worked at a team and it was not working out? what did you do?".
Overall, it was a pleasant experience to interview at this firm. Great people, great teams, they communicate quickly and let you know the decision in a timely mannerInterview Questions

ERS Consultant InterviewApplication Details
I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Deloitte in October 2014.Interview Details
I applied for Tech risk.
Submitted my resume at School. First interview happened at my school with Manger and Director. 1st interview with Manger was more based on your Resume. Questions like how, what and why. Make sure you show some strengths that how would you handle challenging environment and what you can bring to the table. Lots of questions based on Team Work.
After 2 weeks, I was invited for 2nd round. They paid for all the expense. Hotel was super nice.
2nd round was easier than I expected because I spent 40 hours to prepare for an interview just because I was interviewing with the biggest big 4 company and I would recommend you to spend some time to prepare so you don't get surprised by questions.
In the second round , there were two interviews. One was with manager and another with senior manager.
The senior manager was little bit hard because he asked me some questions also based on Finance. Boat manager asked me questions like how would you handle the situation ? How would you work with team? What can you bring to a team? What is some specific qualities or skills you have? You should also know a little bit about internal auditing of information technology.Interview Questions

I went through campus recruiting and got a notification through the school's career website that I had received and interview.
The initial interview was at school and consisted of two back-to-back interviews. One was with a partner and the other was with a 3rd year. Both interviews were behavioral and mostly wanted to see if you would be a good fit.
Second round was in New York and it was the same thing: two back-to-back interviews--both behavioral. Overall it was about chemistry and nothing really technical.Interview Questions

The link between drug abuse and violent behavior
is well-established. Project DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is the most
prevalent school-based drug abuse prevention program in the United States. Unfortunately,
there is little evidence that it is effective. A long-term study of the program
in 36 schools in Illinois found only limited impact of the program immediately after
the intervention, and no evidence of a sustained benefit over time (Ennett 1994).
DARE also had no effect on peer resistance skills. Other evaluations of DARE found
that the short-term effectiveness of the program is limited, and generally less
than the effectiveness associated with more interactive prevention programs (Ennett 1994).

Peeping Tuan
Ever get the feeling like you're being watched? I get that feeling everyday I am at work and it's not just a feeling... I am usually being watched when I walk along the back service road behind the big cats.
No, it is not a camera or a person watching me, it's a very nosey Sumatran Tiger named Tuan!
Tuan is our 12 year old male tiger from Germany and he is a very inquisitive cat. Tuan's beautiful Sumatran Rainforest themed exhibit backs onto our service road where we move around behind the scenes to look after the animals. For Tuan to see us he needs to stand on his hind legs to peer over the back wall of his exhibit - such a funny sight. What's even funnier is Tuan thinks we can't see him because he usually positions himself behind a large pole.
Most of the time you don't realise he is watching you - they are very quiet animals when they move. They are so silent because of their big soft pads on their paws and this silence helps them with hunting their prey in the wild. I am starting to pick up on the subtle movement of the bamboo as he moves along the wall and have been quick enough to sneak up on him, which he greets with a growl.
Another reason Tuan likes to peer over the back wall is to check on his girlfriend, Assiqua. If Assiqua is hanging out the back during the day he likes to check up on her and see what she is up to... as I said he is very nosey! And now that Assiqua has seen Tuan do it a couple of times she has been seen doing the same behaviour.
Recently we have been doing some work in the area behind the Tiger exhibits and it is very funny to watch Tuan watching the horticulture or maintenance staff, especially when they realise they are being watched by a 95 kilo tiger, who is most likely eyeing them off for lunch.

In 1986, an explosion at the Chernobyl Atomic Power Plant caused the evacuation of approximately 1,000 square miles of rural and urban land around the plant, including the city Pripyat, creating the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Ten years after the explosion, small herds of very rare Przewalski Horses were released into the Zone. I was first drawn to the Exclusion Zone by the story of these horses, as I'm an animator and I particularly like to draw horses and I found the horse's story of return from the brink of extinction to survival in a radioactively contaminated environment fascinating. I've been to Chernobyl filming twice already, researching the Zone and the horses and their stranger than fiction story, and developing a mixed media documentary about them and the Exclusion Zone. Sample clips from my work so far can be seen at: https://vimeo.com/62782383 While researching in Chernobyl, I quickly found myself fascinated not just by the horses' story, but by the Exclusion Zone itself, and by the people who are, like myself, drawn to go there. I'm an experienced animator and fiction filmmaker, you can view some of my work at: https://vimeo.com/sallypearce/videos But I have not yet made a documentary. So this Summer, I'm taking the NFTS Summerdoc Course, which will lead to a finished 15-20mins documentary short, to be completed in September, and screened in London. https://nfts.co.uk/our-courses/certificate/summerdocs I will promote the finished film around Festivals hoping for many National and International screenings. I will also use it to promote the Chernobyl Horses project. For the Summerdoc project, I aim to go back to Chernobyl to make a short documentary about what draws people, including myself, to go there, asking the question whether the city and the Zone has a possible future as a tourist attraction, and if so, why? I would use the £2,000 to pay for my flight, guide and accommodation in Kiev and Chernobyl, and also to pay for my UK travel, accommodation and subsistence during the two months of the Summerdoc course.
The owner of this project has not made any updates yet.

adidas Men's Tiro Soccer Pants 229 229
Love it!! I was originally skeptical about the pricing, but when the pants arrived, they were incredible! They arrived in December, and they definitely kept me warm when I trained outside. Great fitting, they are a little loose near the waist, but they have strings to tighten them. Overall great product! December 25, 2014
Very nice and confortable Great for running in the cold.Moisture wicking and ventilation December 23, 2014

adidas mens tiro soccer pants My sibling wanted these, I know it is name brand, but i think a little pricey for just a pair of pants, but that is just me. I guess if the product holds up, it is well worth the price. They are nice pants :) December 16, 2014
Had Problems I received the right color and size, but there was a hole in the right leg. December 16, 2014
Great Product My son love these pants!! He says that they are so comfortable and he like the way they fit at the bottom of his legs. I bought him one pair for the school year and he said that the only this he wanted for Christmas was more pairs of these pants. I thought that was a small and reasonable request for a 16 year old as now-a-days they always want some very expensive gift:). December 15, 2014
Best ever I have every color they have out there! They are the best pants to play soccer in or to just wear them because they look stylish. I just eish they had pink for guys December 14, 2014

Republican Gabriel E. Gomez, fresh off his upset victory, kicked off the special election campaign Wednesday by labeling his Democratic opponent, Edward J. Markey, a "poster boy" for term limits and by refusing to sign a pledge to limit special interest money in the race.
Markey, a 36-year veteran of Congress, quickly hit back at Gomez for saying he personally opposes abortion and would vote against a ban on assault weapons. He warned that Gomez's rejection of the so-called People's Pledge to limit outside money would unleash a flood of negative ads in their race.
The vigorous back-and-forth reflected the sudden energy in the Massachusetts Senate race, a day after Gomez, a wealthy investor and former US Navy SEAL with almost no electoral experience, scored a come-from-behind victory against two opponents with much longer roots in the state Republican Party.
As the candidates sprint toward the special election on June 25, the race could become a nationally watched contest with heavy involvement by special interests.
The level of spending from outside groups, however, will be determined largely by polling, some of which has already begun. Strategists for political committees supporting both parties said they want to see whether Gomez will be a viable candidate before committing money to either his campaign or to Markey's.

S/O to Flip Empty for the sig
The combine did no favors to Andre Williams, he was predictably pretty slow, he looked like hed never seen a football in his life while he was trying to catch, it was that brutal.

S/O to Flip Empty for the sig
Dre will drop because of his inabilities to catch the ball. I would like SIms in the third, he can do it all. I would be ok with Williams in the 5th round, even maybe 4th. We would need a third down back to complement him though. I do believe he is better runner than some of the RBs posted above.

CMJ Discoveries: Casiokids, Firehorse, Caveman, More
Listen To The Discussion
As it does every fall, the CMJ Music Marathon came to New York City last week. They don't call it a marathon for nothing: For a band, performing in the festival can mean playing 10 shows in five days. For a fan, the choices of what to see are daunting and distant. Alabama Shakes might be playing on Delancey Street, while Teen is in Brooklyn and The Lonely Forest is playing KEXP's Showcase at the Ace Hotel, 20 minutes away. For music journalists, it's hard not to wish you could clone yourself to take it all in. In the end, the best way to have a rewarding CMJ experience might be to talk with a friend whose taste you trust.
On this edition of All Songs Considered, Bob Boilen sits down with two New York journalists: Maura Johnston, music editor for The Village Voice, and Sydney Brownstone, a writer and videographer for The L Magazine. Together, the three pick a dozen favorite acts from this year's CMJ, while sharing stories of their disparate journeys through the festival.
Check out a video of Zola Jesus in concert, performing in New York during the week of CMJ.

Harmonic and anharmonic oscillations of a cylindrical plasma in the presence of a uniform axial magnetic field and a steady axial current

In the present note we have studied the harmonic and anharmonic oscillations of cylindrical plasma using Lagrangian formalism. In order to study the harmonic oscillations, the equations are linearized and the resulting equation for the displacement has been numerically solved. For situations present in thermonuclear reactors, the presence of axial magnetic field is found necessary to make the periods of oscillation to become comparable with the time required for the thermonuclear reactions to set in. A detailed analysis of the anharmonic oscillations reveals that the significant interaction is between the first and the second mode. The fundamental period of anharmonic oscillation is more than the corresponding period of harmonic oscillations by 9·2%. Graphs have been drawn for the amplitudes of relative variations in density and magnetic field and of the time-varying part of anharmonic oscillation.

Hands-only CPR and Vinnie Jones
The theory behind hands only CPR, as in the British Heart Foundations Advert with Vinnie Jones, is:
When an adult has a cardiac arrest, it's usually a heart problem (e.g. heart attack) that has caused the heart to stop. The blood is usually full of oxygen when the heart stops, therefore there is no need to give initial breaths, but it is essential to pump the blood around, (by...

The Bills made a big splash last night in the first round, trading up from the ninth pick to get their guy.
Sammy Watkins was considered the top receiver in this year's draft by experts across the country.
He also returned punts and kickoffs at Clemson.
To get the fourth pick, the Bills gave up their ninth pick and next year's first and fourth round draft picks to the Cleveland Browns.
Bills General Manager Doug Whaley said the organization has been working on making a trade for quite some time, despite it coming together at the last minute.
"It came together in the last minute," Whaley said. "We had talked throughout the week with a bunch of teams, nothing solid, but as the draft started to unfold the talks intensified and then we hammered a deal out actually with maybe five minutes on the Browns pick."
