29 year old woman | Herndon, VA, USA | Seeking men 25-35 within 25 miles
I'm just me.
I love my job, I love my family and I love my pets. I just moved to this area for my job and would like to have someone to share my days with other than my cat. I work at a zoo and love what I do. I can drive a tractor like a champ and keep you laughing while I stall out, repeatedly...not that that's ever happened. I work in 100 degree heat and below freezing temperatures but enjoy it all the time. I love being outdoors in the mountains or the beach or just in the yard. I love cook outs and setting marshmallows on fire. I cook often and enjoy trying new things. I love to cook and bake. I love to make Chicken Marsala and finish off with some home made cream puffs. I don't have a dog but I enjoy kidnapping my friends dog and going to the park for a few hours. The radio in my car is broken so I've gotten into the bad habit of singing while I drive...singing songs that I don't always know all the words to,
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Football, Inline skating, Other types of exercise, Soccer, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I have Cats
I like Birds, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses
I have one cat named Mango. I have always wanted to have a dog but I live in a small apartment which doesn't seem fair to a dog. Hopefully one day I will live somewhere a dog would be happy.
Middle of the Road
I love going to the National Zoo or any of the Museums in DC. I've been getting around to check out some of the parks here in NoVA.
George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
I love country and rock and roll and some alternative. For TV I love Big Bang Theory, Survivor and Family Guy. I love chicken and dumplings which fortunately for me is something I am awesome at making.
I work a very physically demanding job and spend a fair share of my free time just relaxing. Kicking back catching up on TV I missed or reading. I also roller skate on a trail by my apartment.
The last thing I read was the blurb for a movie to watch instantly on Netflix. The last book I read was Avery Dick Walks Small.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — First, he killed his mother.
Nancy Lanza's body was found later at their home on Yogananda Street in Newtown — after the carnage at Sandy Hook Elementary School; after a quiet New England town was scarred forever by unthinkable tragedy; after a nation seemingly inured to violence found itself stunned by the slaughter of innocents.
Nobody knows why 20-year-old Adam Lanza killed his mother, why he then took her guns to the school and murdered 20 children and six adults.
But on Friday he drove his mother's car through this 300-year-old town with its fine old churches and towering trees, and arrived at a school full of the season's joy. Somehow, he got past a security door to a place where children should have been safe from harm.
Theodore Varga and other fourth-grade teachers were meeting; the glow remained from the previous night's fourth-grade concert.
It was a lovely day, Varga said. Everybody was joyful and cheerful. We were ending the week on a high note.
And then, suddenly and unfathomably, gunshots rang out. I can't even remember how many, he said.
The fourth-graders, the oldest kids in the school, were in specialty classes like gym and music. There was no lock on the meeting room door, so the teachers had to think about how to escape, knowing that their students were with other teachers.
Someone turned the loudspeaker on, so everyone could hear what was happening in the office.
Gathered in another room for a 9:30 meeting were principal Dawn Hochsprung and Diane Day, a school therapist, along with a school psychologist, other staff members and a parent. They were meeting to discuss a second-grader.
We were there for about five minutes chatting, and we heard Pop! Pop!, Pop! Day told The Wall Street Journal. I went under the table.
But Hochsprung and the psychologist leaped out of their seats and ran out of the room, Day recalled. They didn't think twice about confronting or seeing what was going on, she said. Hochsprung was killed, and the psychologist was believed to have been killed as well.
A custodian ran around, warning people there was a gunman, Varga said.
In a first-grade classroom, teacher Kaitlin Roig heard the shots. She immediately barricaded her 15 students into a tiny bathroom, sitting one of them on top of the toilet. She pulled a bookshelf across the door and locked it. She told the kids to be absolutely quiet.
I said, 'There are bad guys out there now. We need to wait for the good guys,' she told ABC News.
In the gym, crying fourth-graders huddled in a corner. One of them was 10-year-old Philip Makris.
He said he heard a lot of loud noises and then screaming, said his mother, Melissa Makris. Then the gym teachers immediately gathered the children in a corner and kept them safe.
Another girl who was in the gym recalled hearing like, seven loud booms.
An 8-year-old boy described how a teacher saved him.
I saw some of the bullets going past the hall that I was right next to, and then a teacher pulled me into her classroom, said the boy, who was not identified by CBSNews.com.
Carefully, police searched room to room, removing children and staff from harm's way. They found Adam Lanza, dead by his own hand after shooting up two classrooms; no officer fired a gun.
Student Brendan Murray told WABC-TV it was chaos in his classroom at first after he heard loud bangs and screaming.
A police officer came in and asked, Is he in here? and then ran out. Then our teacher, somebody, yelled, 'Get to a safe place.' Then we went to a closet in the gym and we sat there for a little while, and then the police were, like, knocking on the door and they were, like, 'We're evacuating people, we're evacuating people,' so we ran out.
Children, warned to close their eyes so they could not see the product of his labors, were led away from their school.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and other public officials came to the firehouse. So did clergymen like Monsignor Robert Weiss of Newtown's St. Rose Roman Catholic Church.
He watched as parents came to realize that they would never see their children alive again.
All of them were hoping their child would be found OK. But when they gave out the actual death toll, they realized their child was gone, Weiss said.
He recalled the reaction of the brother of one of the victims.
They told a little boy it was his sister who passed on, Weiss said.
The boy's response was, 'I'm not going to have anyone to play with.'

Why choose Turkey?
Better choose to study in a British or French University -
Hi Jean i just took the exam this april, you go to this page and there is an option in English:
basically i can tell you that it does not matter were are you from, if you are living abroad there are places to take the exam, normally you can take the test in the Turkish embassy of the country you are living.
Or if you can you can come to take the exam wich take place in Ankara, this year the exam center was Gazi University.
The examen is once a year between the first 10 days of April. You have to apply normally in January in the OSYM centers or in the embassy of Turkey. You need to have completed your high school and make your high school Diploma to be validated by the Turkish goverment (you can ask how to do that in the Turkish embassy if you are in Turkey you can validate it in the Education Council in Ankara, the process take aproximatly from 1 to 3 months depending upon the country you are applying).. İn order to Validate this diploma you have to legalize or apostillate it (regarding the country you studied your high school and for doing so you have to ask in the education council of your country) if you apply in the embassy of turkey in your country is possible that they do not ask you to be translated but if you are coming to ankara you have to translate it to Turkish and make this translation legal before give it to the Education council of Turkey.
Afther applying for the exam, they will send you by post mail a identification card with certain number that will serve you to take the test and know the results from internet. They will tell you also the date of the exam and the exact place you can take the exam.
What to study in the exam? well the exam consist of two parts the first part is conformed by 80 question from which 40 are mathematics and 40 IQ questions. The second part consist of 80 Turkish questions. So you have to study almost all the topics of Matematics like numbers, rational numbers,ratio and proportion, factorization, exponentials, first order equations, roots, inequalities and absolute value, sets, polynomials, functions, second order equations, trigonometry, logarithms, complex numbers, induction, limits, the derivate, integral, matrix and determinants and Geometry.(from matematics Geometry take 5 questions).
You do not have to know deepiy matematics because the exam is not too dificult but you have to be able to know every topic well and know a short and fast way to solve the matematics and IQ questions. One of the most important things is to be able to solve as fast as you can the two parts of the exam (it takes 3 hours: 1.30 for Math and İQ questions and 1.30 for Turkish part). All the instructions are in English and Turkish. And one important thing is that you just answer the questions that you are sure you know the answer and never try to guess other wise for every 4 incorrect answers they will eat up one correct answer and it will decrease your points.
The minimal points that you can get is 40 and it will depend upon the university you want to study, not all universities in Turkey are accepting foreigner students and the best Universities are asking for high points for example to be able to study in Bosphorus University you have to get at least 75 points (the maximun is 80) and A value in the Turkish exam. Every university that accept foreigners students have a quote by faculty and from every country of the world 5 students with compite among themself in every university of Turkey.. Most foreigners student want to study in the best ones so the exam is very competitive ...
Oh i forgot something very important: As you are living in USA you can apply for another option which would better for you: TAKE THE GRE EXAM! if you get high points in that test you will be able to apply to any university in Turkey that accept foreigner students, this is better option for you...
İn YÖS exam is better to come to turkey at least 6 months before and get in to privates curses which are specialized in prepare people that want to take the exam, like this one:
http://www. metropolyayinlari.com
Again ask in the turkis embassy in USA that you will take GRE but you do not know what would happen with the Turkish part...obviously you would have to take Turkish courses other wise afther being accepted in a Turkish university you will have to take one year of Turkish intensive courses to be able to start in the program you have chosen...
İn my case i know my puntuation right now iam waiting to know if i would be able to get in the carreer i want to be in or if i will have to take YÖS exam again...if it is the case i would better go for GRE.
Good look to you! -
I like how you are a good and smart member of this section but please study in your own country or somewhere else as in I am strongly against YÖS.
go to ask in turkey empacy
How to apply for a university in Turkey ?
I did a little research about applying to Turkish Universities. And I found out that foreigner students can apply for Turkish Universities by an exam named " YÖS " which is " Yabanci Uyruklu Ogrenci Sinavi ". I looked at www.osym.gov.tr but I couldn't understand at all. Also I will be a US citizen before comming to Turkey. Can you give information how to apply for this exam, requirements, and what do they ask in exam ? do I need a degree from high school ? or do I need to know turkish so good or some english and turkish will be okay for applying. Please I really need to know how to apply. Thanks so much.

Synonyms | |
The Mariana mallard or Oustalet's duck (Anas oustaleti) is an extinct type of duck of the genus Anas that was endemic to the Mariana Islands. Its taxonomic status is debated, and it has variously been treated as a full species, a subspecies of the mallard or the Pacific black duck, or sometimes as a subspecies of the Indian spot-billed duck.
The taxonomic status of the Mariana mallard is disputed, since it resembles an intermediate of the mallard and the Pacific black duck, two closely related allopatric species which frequently hybridise. Its males had two intergrading color morphs, called the "platyrhynchos" and the "superciliosa" types after the species they resembled more.[1] It was first scientifically described by Tommaso Salvadori as full species in the genus Anas, named after its collector, the French zoologist Emile Oustalet. Salvadori suggested it was related to the Pacific black duck.[2][3] It was previously known to the Chamorro people, who called it ngånga' (palao) in Chamorro, and to the Carolinian people, who called it ghereel'bwel in Carolinian.[citation needed]
After Salvadori, most taxonomists, such as Dean Amadon and Ernst Mayr, considered it a subspecies of the mallard.[3] Yoshimaro Yamashina examined those specimens in Japanese museums in 1948, and decided that the Mariana mallard was an example of hybrid speciation, and was descended from the mallard and the Pacific black duck's Palau subspecies (Anas superciliosa pelewensis).[3][4] However, no molecular genetic evidence is available to support this hypothesis.[citation needed] Some scientists, such as Jean Delacour, have considered the Mariana mallard a simple hybrid, so it was absent from Delacour's four-volume monograph on the ducks and from the IUCN Red List.[3] If Yamashina's hypothesis is correct, the Mariana mallard would have presumably evolved into near species status in only about ten thousand years.[citation needed]
Neither Mariana mallards nor their progenitor species are known from fossils on the Marianas, casting into doubt the assumption that a resident black duck population had been long established on the islands. However, most rock shelters and caves on the Marianas were obliterated in the 1944 Battle of Guam.[5] A species of flightless duck is known from a prehistoric bone found on Rota in 1994; was apparently not closely related to the Mariana mallard.[6]
Mariana mallards were 51–56 cm (20–22 in) long and weighed approximately 1 kilogram (2.2 lb), making them marginally smaller than mallards. Two intergrading color morphs were found in males, called the "platyrhynchos" and the "superciliosa" type after the species they resembled more.
Only the former had a distinct nuptial (breeding) plumage: the head was green as in mallard drakes, but less glossy, with some buff feathers on the sides, a dark brown eyestripe and a faint whitish ring at the base of the neck. The upper breast was dark ruddish chestnut brown with blackish-brown spots. The wing patch (speculum) and the tail was also like in mallard drakes' nuptial plumage, including curled-up central tail feathers, but the tips of the speculum feathers were buff. The underside was a mix between the vermiculated grey feathers of the mallard and the brown ones of the Pacific black duck. The remainder of the bird looked like a male Pacific black duck with lighter underwings. The bill was black at the base and olive at the tip, the feet reddish orange with darker webs and the iris brown. The eclipse plumage looked similar to a dark eclipse mallard drake.
Males of the "superciliosa" type resembled a Pacific black duck with a less distinctly marked head, the supercilium and cheeks being buffy and the cheek (malar) stripe hardly visible. The upper breast, flank and scapular feathers had broader buff edges, and the underwings were lighter. The speculum was usually as in the "platyrhynchos" type, i.e. mallard-like, but at least two specimens have the green speculum of the Pacific black duck. The bill was like that of A. superciliosa, and the iris and legs similar to the "platyrhynchos" type.
Females looked essentially like a dark mallard female with the orange of the feet and near the bill tip usually a bit more pure.
It occurred, in recent times at least, on the islands of Guam, Saipan and Tinian. Two unidentified ducks were seen on Rota in 1945,[1] but as no movement of A. oustaleti between Saipan and Tinian, which are just 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) apart, was recorded,[7] these were probably vagrant migrating ducks, although Marshall (1949) suspected from circumstantial evidence that such movement did indeed take place.[8] However, the distance between Guam and Rota is nearly 80 kilometres (50 mi), making intentional migration between these islands not likely.
The Mariana mallard inhabited wetlands, mostly inland but occasionally also in coastal areas. On Guam, it was most abundant in the Talofofo River valley, on Tinian on Lake Hagoi and Lake Makpo (before it was drained and known as Makpo Swamp), and on Saipan on the Garpan Lagoon and on and around Lake Susupe. The birds were rather reclusive, preferring sheltered habitat with plenty of wetland and water plants – fern thickets (Acrostichum aureum) and reed beds (Scirpus, Cyperus and Phragmites),[9][10] where they also nested. Usually, pairs or small flocks were encountered, but in the key habitats larger groups of dozens and rarely up to 50–60 individuals could be found. Apart from possible inter-island movement, the birds were not migratory.
Feeding and reproduction are not well documented, but cannot expected to differ significantly from its immediate relatives. The Mariana mallard fed on aquatic invertebrates, small vertebrates and plants, and although they were not observed up-ending like mallards, they probably did so.
Breeding was recorded from at least January to July, with a peak in June–July at the end of the dry season. One male specimen taken in October was also in breeding condition;[8] thus, the birds may have bred nearly year-round at least on occasion. Unfortunately, the courtship behavior, which in the strongly sexually dimorphic mallard is focused more on presentation of visual cues than in the monomorphic Pacific black duck (although it is generally similar in both species), was never recorded. Clutches consisted of 7–12 pale grey-green oval eggs, measuring 6.16 x 3.89 cm on average.[7] Incubation lasted around 28 days, males took no part in it and neither in caring for the ducklings. The precocial and nidifugous young fledged when about eight weeks old and became sexually mature the following year.
The birds declined due to draining of wetlands for agriculture and construction. Hunting pressure was probably heavy, despite a ban on gun ownership under Japanese control (1914–1945), as the birds were unwary to traps, and at any rate the gun ban was lifted after World War II. By the 1940s, flocks of more than a dozen birds were seldom seen. On Guam, the last sightings were in 1949 and 1967—the latter being a single, possibly vagrant, bird—and on Tinian in 1974. As Lake Susupe offered the most plentiful and least accessible habitat, although it too suffered from pollution by sugar mill wastes, the Saipan population lingered on for a few more years.[11] The Mariana mallard was listed as federally endangered on June 2, 1977.[12] In 1979, two males and a female were found on Saipan and caught; one male was later released, the last wild bird ever to be encountered. The pair was brought to Pohakuloa Training Area, Hawaii, and later to SeaWorld San Diego, where it was attempted to have them reproduce in captivity. However, this was unsuccessful and the species became extinct with the death of the last individual in 1981. Surveys were conducted in the following years, but the species was certainly gone by then.[11] It was removed from the USFWS Endangered Species List on February 23, 2004, due to extinction.[13][14]
Collection of specimens for museums and private collections must have had a temporary impact during the Japanese control over the islands.[citation needed] Although fewer than 100 specimens are on record, most were taken in the 1930s and 1940s for Japanese collectors; given the rather sedentary habits and small population size of the species, this may have jeopardized local populations to the point of extinction.[citation needed] Outside Japan, 7 specimens (including the type) are in the National Museum of Natural History, Paris, one in the Natural History Museum at Tring, two in the National Museum of Natural History, Washington D.C. and six in the American Museum of Natural History, New York City.[15] There are reports of additional specimens in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Lisbon.[16]

The Civic Association sent a flyer out describing how BREC has "scammed us" before BREC even had a chance to give us the latest plans which I and many others think were great. I want to Thank BREC for working with us and the good job they have done. We may not get everything we all want , but we should be good and honest people to sit down with BREC and work it out.

this is our second disney trip with the family, me, dh and dd age 5. The first trip (feb, 09) was very rushed and was all of our first time to go. We were super unorganized and just walked around. This time I'm trying to have a better plan of action. This was super last minute with only a week to plan it out. Hoping to go to Epcot for the food and wine fest and MK for the MNSSHP. I think we have the plan down so here's to hoping i dont leave or forget anything!
2 days here too! It's my 7th trip but my first in october so food and wine and MNSSHP is all new to me! I have work the next 2 days but im so excited i don't know how i'll concentrate!
Have fun! We leave in 4 days. Be prepared for crowds at food and wine. We went on our honeymoon (5 years ago) and it was so busy in the evening. Get there early and you should be fine. Maybe try sampling the foods at lunch instead of dinner if you want to avoid the crowds. What day are you going to MNSSHP? We'll be there Tuesday.

They are the scourge of the web, pop-up advertisements that obscure the text you want to read, stick like mud and breed like rabbits, but their days may be numbered.
Microsoft has said it will follow Google, AOL and web browsers, including Netscape, and add pop-up blocking software to its Explorer browser next year.
A study by research firm GartnerG2 last year, found pop-ups were the most globally detested online advertisements, with 78 per cent of respondents saying they were "very annoying".
"The user experience is terrible, everyone hates them. I hate them," said Michael Buckley, media director with internet ad agency, OneDigital. But he admitted the agency uses them. It ran successful campaigns for realestate.com and HSBC bank using pop-ups. "Click through rates were high - it's almost impossible not to click on them," Mr Buckley admitted. "In my view, clients risk destroying their brand not boosting it, using pop-ups. I advise them not to use them."
A spokeswoman for ninemsn, Ngaire Moyes, said the portal - Australia's busiest in traffic - did not accept pop-ups.
Peter Coroneos, chief executive of the Internet Industry Association, said pop-ups were almost as hated as spam. But they will not be covered under Australia's proposed spam laws because they do not do the same damage. "It's just annoyance," he said.

Refusenik (2008)
Movie Info
Historically speaking, documentarist Laura Bialis' nonfiction effort Refusenik marks one of the first cinematic attempts to chronicle the decades-long liberation of Soviet Jews, from the early years of the 20th century through the end of the Cold War. Drawing from archival footage and extended interviews, Bialis documents the process by which a regionally oriented, grassroots social-activist movement ultimately ballooned into as massive, transcontinental human-rights crusade.

All Critics (24) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (2)
One credits their naivete as the best tool to change history, as, because of it, they refused to cave in to excuse-making politicians and initial indifference in the Jewish-American community.
A conventional but generally well-made documentary about Jewish refuseniks
Neat and nice is good for textbook supplements, but aren't gonna cut it cinematically when the story itself is the only thing going.
There are fascinating archival clips that show rare glimpses of early years of struggle behind the Iron Curtain, while the story eventually moves through such momentous footage as the Helsinki Accords and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The result is a documentary that plays like a fat, satisfying work of nonfiction literature -- the final word because it seems to contain every word.
Packed with an extraordinary amount of archival material, the film offers a fascinating, if occasionally dense look at a grass-roots movement that became the world's chance to retroactively fight Hitler's Holocaust.
[Director] Bialis chronicles all this with perhaps too much thoroughness. But, given the nature of the subject, you get the sense that she doesn't want to leave out any voice, no matter if they add little in the way of new information.
[An] absorbing portrait of the refusenik movement of the 1960s and '70s.
Refusenik's opening on Israel's 60th birthday could not have been more timely.
Refusenik falls short as entertainment because of the plodding, overly studious approach of the director, Laura Bialis.
Refusenik does not so much capture the moment as it does educate, however, with material so compelling and inspiring, a thorough education serves.
Using title cards, interviews, and endless archival footage, Bialis is able to tie a very specific history to the course of 20th century upheaval.
Refusenik is a little dry in its presentation, relying on a conventional mix of talking heads and stock footage. But Bialis has good footage to work with, including some film shot by the BBC in Moscow using equipment smuggled in by tourists.
Visually and intellectually brisk, the movie is as lively as its subjects' gumption is humbling.
One can only hope that future films about today's most pressing humanitarian crises have such unambiguously happy endings.
The story of the nearly thirty years of courage in the face of repression in the Soviet Union. This is polished and evocative filmmaking.
We've been hearing a lot this year about human-rights abuses and the potential impact of organized protests and diplomacy on uncooperative countries. Rarely is the subject addressed as effectively as it is in Laura Bialis' absorbing new documentary.
[Director] Bialis may have been too diligent in tracking down sources.
What is revealing here is the heretofore unseen civil-rights movement, small but dedicated, that began in the 1960s behind the Iron Curtain.
A heartwarming doc about the decades-long struggle to free Jews from Soviet oppression.

Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora Khan make one of the most adorable couples of Bollywood and it did come as a surprise for many of their fans when the rumors stating a rift in their marriage started rising now and then in the gossip columns. Some reports even stated that Malaika has shifted to her mom's place due to irresolvable dispute between the two. However, Arbaaz vehemently denied any trouble in his marriage and even expressed his anger and disappointed on such baseless rumors." Let me clarify one last time that Malaika and me are very much together…We hope and pray that theirs remains a happy marriage now and ever after!

How much of your donation dollar actually goes to the causes you care about? Sometimes, it can be as little as a dime. These 10 charities aren't living up to their missions, according to Charity Navigator, a nonprofit evaluator of charities. Each spends more than 50% of its budget on for-profit fundraising professionals to solicit donations. They are ranked by the percentage of their total functional expenses spent on professional fundraising fees. As a result, less of these charities' spending is directed toward their programs and services.
Charity Navigator ranks charities for both their financial health and their accountability and transparency, then provides an overall score. You can use the site, or a similar site such as GuideStar, (both are nonprofits) to research charities before parting with your hard-earned money. Based on their ratings, Charity Navigator came up with this list of 10 charities that are overpaying their for-profit fundraisers:
10. Children's Leukemia Research Association
Garden City, N.Y.
Percent of budget spent on charitable programs and services: 31.7%
Percent spent on fundraising: 66.6%
This charity supports research efforts toward finding the causes and cure for leukemia, but spends almost 70 cents for every dollar on for-profit fundraising, and has scored 16.14 overall out of 70 on Charity Navigator's scoring system.

Morganville, N.J.
Percent of budget spent on charitable programs and services: 17.7%

8. Law Enforcement Education Program
Troy, Mich.
Percent of budget spent on charitable programs and services: 3.3%
Percent spent on fundraising: 79.4%

7. Wishing Well Foundation USA
Metairie, La.
Percent of budget spent on charitable programs and services: 12.4%
Percent spent on fundraising: 79.8%
The Wishing Well Foundation's goal is "to bring joy to children with life-threatening illnesses by providing them with their fondest wish in life." With $1,145,257 raised through federated campaign funding, this charity offered up just $143,526 toward its purpose — about 12 cents for every dollar. It received a 2.93 score out of 70 from Charity Navigator.
6. Children's Charity Fund, Inc.
Sarasota, Fla.
Percent of budget spent on charitable programs and services: 8%
Percent spent on fundraising: 83.7%
The purpose of Children's Charity Fund is to educate and inform the public concerning the needs disabled children, provide referral services and act as children's advocates. The organization scored 4.8 out of 70 with Charity Navigator, and spent just $107,232 on the program out of total contributions of just over $1.3 million.
5. National Vietnam Veterans Foundation
Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Percent of budget spent on charitable programs and services: 11.5%

Pup's misstep puts car in pondreplayMore Videos ...Ruh Roh! Pup's misstep puts car in pond 01:29Story highlightsA Massachusetts man says his puppy drove his car into a pond Rosie, a 5-month-old German Shepherd, got her leash entangled in the gear shiftDriver and dog emerged wet but unharmed Throughout history they've been humankind's most convenient, unwitting and trustworthy scapegoats for missing homework assignments and olfactory mishaps. And now a Massachusetts man is telling cops that if they think he was responsible for his own car sinking to the bottom of a local pond, then they are barking up the wrong tree. When Canton police responded to a 911 call Sunday for a vehicle that had gone into a local pond, the car's owner -- who police aren't naming -- said it was the doing of Rosie, his 5-month-old German Shepherd puppy."Rosie got her leash entangled in the [gear] shifter," Rob Quirk of the Canton Police Department said, repeating the driver's explanation. "While [the dog was] trying to break free [the owner] stated the puppy fell onto the driver's side floor and hit the accelerator sending the vehicle into the pond."Five-month-old Rosie does not have her driver's license.The man and his dog were both in the Dodge Neon as it floated about 30 yards offshore before it sank, according to Quirk, who said a witness rushed into the pond to help get Rosie safely out of the vehicle after the driver had to untangle things to free himself."While this story has a happy ending," said a Canton police press release, "we would encourage drivers to keep their pets safely secured in the rear of their vehicle where they cannot interfere with operation."Both man and dog emerged unharmed.More from usDad's vows to stepdaughter will make you cryPolice: Missouri gunman kills 7 in town of 50 then himself; was cousin to 2 slain couplesPowered by Livefyre

Looking for something to do? Below you will find many of the larger opportunities
sponsored by the Center for Civic Engagement for students at Binghamton University.
If you have any questions regarding an opportunity, or you would like more information,
reach us by email at email@example.com or contact the listed individual running that program.
For more opportunities, explore our Service Listings, our Events Calendar and our Student Newsletter.
#Snaps4Service Contest
Official Rules
- To enter, you must submit a photo of what volunteering means to you. This may take the form of a photo of you volunteering, something creative that you make that represents volunteering to you, or anything you can think of that you think best communicates the meaning of volunteering. Be creative!
- To be eligible, you must like our Facebook page and follow us on Instagram. You must also be a current Binghamton University student.
- Facebook photo submissions must be submitted as a comment on the official Facebook post announcing the start of the contest on March 9.
- Instagram photo submissions must be posted on Instagram and tagged with @ccebinghamton and #Snaps4Service.
- Submissions are open on Monday, March 9 at 12 PM. Photos may be submitted until the end of the contest, but the earlier you submit, the more time you have to accumulate likes! The contest will end on Monday, March 16 at 12 PM.
- You may post your photo to Facebook (facebook.com/ccebinghamton) or Instagram or both. You may only submit one photo per site to the contest.
- Voters may vote for as many photos as they like on both Facebook and Instagram. Contestants may vote for any photos they like, including their own. On Facebook, voters must navigate to the original post on the CCE Timeline and like the appropriate comment there in order for their vote to count.
- At the end of the contest, on March 16 at 12 PM, contestants who submitted the photos that received the most likes on each site will be selected as the winners. Therefore, share the post and tell all of your friends! One person may not win a prize on both Facebook and Instagram. Contestants are limited to winning a total of one prize, regardless of the social media medium used. However, each photo will have two chances to win the first place prize, using both Instagram and Facebook. For example, if someone wins first place on Facebook and wins second place on Instagram, they may only receive the first place prize. If someone wins first place on both Facebook and Instagram, they may only receive one first place prize.
- The first place prize winner will receive a $25 Amazon gift card. The second place prize winner will receive a $10 Amazon gift card. First and second place winners will be chosen on Facebook and Instagram, for a total of two first and two second place winners.
- Winners will be announced through Facebook and Instagram so look out for those posts! Prizes must be claimed within a week. To claim your prize, you must email firstname.lastname@example.com within one week, letting them know when you will pick up your prize. If you do not claim your prize within a week, or do not pick your prize up at the date you specified, the Center for Civic Engagement will consider this as you forfeiting your prize and will select another winner. In the event of a tie, the Center for Civic Engagement staff will choose a winner, based on creativity and the photo most representative of volunteering.
- Each person who enters the contest as a contestant will receive a FREE CCE t-shirt. Come to UU 137 (located across from the Marketplace) to pick it up any time!
- The #Snaps4Service contest is sponsored the Center for Civic Engagement. By participating in the contest, each entrant agrees to abide by these Official Rules, including all eligibility requirements, and understands that the results of the contest, as determined by Sponsor and its agents, are final in all respects. The contest is subject to all federal, state and local laws and regulations and is void where prohibited by law. This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook. Any questions, comments or complaints regarding the promotion will be directed to CCE, not Facebook.

Community Emergency Response Team
Contact: Indy Li - email@example.com - 607-777-2536 - CERT Website
The Broome County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is looking for new members
from Binghamton University. CERT is a group of civilians who are trained to become
better prepared to mitigate and respond to hazards and emergencies in their communities.
CERT members are trained in traffic control and highway safety, wilderness search
and rescue, CPR and First Aid, basics of community emergency preparedness and disaster
response, and shelter operations. The CERT responds to floods, severe storms, and
other natural disasters, and also to large fairs and events to provide logistical
support to professional emergency responders. Joining this team is a large but rewarding
time commitment. Because of the on-going obligation after training, this opportunity
is available to sophomores ONLY.

Move misc/gretl to math/gretl; add secondary category of finance gretl is used in the mathematical analysis of time series, and has a functionality that is similar to various statistical and signal processing components of it++, octave, scilab, R, numpy/scipy, etc. -- most of which are in the math category. It should really be placed there, rather than in misc. In recognition of the fact that it implements some methods that are commonly (but not exclusively!) used in econometrics, it should also be given a secondary listing in finance. (In my opinion, however, it shouldn't be given a primary listing in that category, because most of the ports there deal with the nuts-and-bolts of accounting, payment methods, taxes, and stock tracking. To my knowledge, the only ports now in finance that remotely resemble gretl are quantlib, xtrader, and qtstalker, all of which employ simpler methods that are more specific to financial time series than are the more general methods in gretl.

From the Design Desk: 'Twas the Night Before Christmas
(After the original "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" poem by Clement Clarke Moore.)
'Twas the night before Christmas in the Publishing House
Not a designer was kerning or clicking a mouse
The galleys were stacked on desktops with care
In hopes that a Best Seller would soon be found there.
The Fellows were leaving—their projects in tow—
A blog post their last note before they would go.
And we with our layouts all gridded and tight
Had settled for the evening by the monitors' pale light.
When out on Second Street there came such a roar—
The Giants returning for a post-season score?
Away to the third floor windows we dashed
To catch a glimpse of the players as they paraded on past.
The moon hanging low over the dark lapping Bay
Gave an aura of magic to the scene underway.
When what to our wondering eyes should appear
Not Sandoval or Posey or even Matt Cain
But BOOKS and MORE BOOKS!
From all corners they came!
With their end sheets aflutter down the street these books pranced
With calendars and stationery and portable pets.
Paper flowers and sketchbooks, Wookiee Pies, too,
Kids' books and craft books and True Blood food
Gem stones and Gem Pops and how to Be Good,
Paper dollies and Yetis, something personalized for you!
Maddie and Moomin (when Girl Meets Boy)
Polish kitchens, pissed-off kittens, and notepads of gold.
So Pretty! Crochet and a fierce Game of Thrones
Garlands, box of stickers, and how to Decorate homes.
Their colors they flashed, their foil stamps they gleamed
Head bands and tail bands and custom-made seams
Whether jacketed or case wrapped, with belly band 'round,
Paperback or flexi or hidden spiral bound
Boxed up or hanging or tied up with string
With photographs or drawings or modules that sing
Away they all flew like One Line a Day years
Into storefronts and museums, libraries and schools
Into hands of small children first learning to read,
Into stockings, onto e-readers, into bundles under trees.
And we returned to our desks, our year's work now done
Wishing you a season of reading, each and every one.

The Rockies need to keep Spilly. I really don't want to root for the Cubs. I do think the Cubs fans would love Spillborghs.
I have heard that for some reason, Spilly doesn't exactly "fit" in the Colorado clubhouse... Apparently he rubs a couple of guys the wrong way and thats one of the reasons they are looking to deal him.

A World Elsewhere (Theatre503)
Alan Franks' play opened at Theatre503 last week (24 January 2014)
Oxford, Autumn 1968. A year on from the summer of love, America is exploding with rage against a long-running war in the Far East. Vietnam is rousing students from their hedonism and the bitter run-up to Richard Nixon's inaugural presidential election looms large. In the University's timeless quads the charismatic international post-graduate Elliott Farmer is leading the protests. This thrillingly intelligent play is a drama of politics on all levels - from international statesmanship, through to the dirty tricks of old rivals, and the rule-free warfare of the bedroom.
