    <p>The <a href="http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Linked Open Vocabularies</a> site collects metadata and statistics about the RDFS and OWL vocbularies used in the <a href="http://bit.ly/rdfLOD" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Linked Open Data cloud</a>.  It looks like an interesting and useful resource.</p>
    <blockquote>
    <p> “Welcome to LOV, your entry point to the growing ecosystem of linked open vocabularies (RDFS or OWL ontologies) used in the Linked Data Cloud. Here you will find vocabularies listed and individually described by metadata, classified by vocabulary spaces, interlinked using the dedicated vocabulary VOAF.  You will enjoy querying the LOV dataset either at vocabulary level or at element level, exploring the vocabulary content using full-text faceted search, and finding metrics about the use of vocabularies in the Semantic Web.  Not finding your favourite one? Suggest a new vocabulary to add to LOV!”<br>

    </span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div>
    <span>A: <span> </span></span><span><span>I really enjoy the people I meet on and off campus through the events these UMBC clubs participate in; such as community service trips, on-campus fundraisers, dances and retreats. There are always new faces to be introduced to, hold conversations with - and if not, it's always great to be around people who are passionate about their individual interests and striving to serve their community in order to achieve them. </span></span>
    </div>
    <div><span><span><br>
    </span></span></div>
    <div><span><span>I also love to hear what people have to say, and the stories they tell about themselves - you learn so much about the great things people can achieve... listening is really the best reward.</span></span></div>

    <strong><span>Q: What is the most important or memorable thing you learned in college/have learned at UMBC?</span></strong><br>

    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <span>A: <span> </span></span><span><span>Since freshman orientation last summer 2011, which was the first time I stepped onto UMBC soil as an accepted student, I was constantly reassured that I could make UMBC my home. My OPAs, Woolie, RA, advisers; all the student leaders that helped me out during my first few months here had no doubt that UMBC wouldn't become a community where I could serve, teach and learn from... it's amazing how right they were.</span></span>
    </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
    <div><div><div><div><div><div><div>
    <div><span><span><br>
    </span></span></div>
    <div><span><span>I learned that no matter how foreign or daunting a task seems, with time and effort you will definitely grow familiar with it - enough so that you'll one day find yourself among a group of people listening and taking your ideas and hard-work seriously, all because you've to become a respected part of their community.</span></span></div>

    </div>
    <p>Do you have trouble stretching your dollars? How about trying another currency instead?</p>
    <p>Since December of 2011 a new form of currency titled <a href="http://baltimoregreencurrency.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">BNotes</a>, has been circulating through Baltimore City.</p>
    <p>BNotes were created to encourage citizens to “buy local”…thus helping local businesses and residents.</p>
    <p>Here’s how it works…Anyone can go to local <a href="http://baltimoregreencurrency.org/cambios" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">cambios</a> (money exchanges) to add BNotes to their wallets or purses. Then, just shop at one of the over <a href="http://baltimoregreencurrency.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012-02-BNote-Directory.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">130 Baltimore based businesses</a> that accept the BNote (a network that is expanding every week).</p>
    <p>After BNotes have been used to make a purchase at a Baltimore establishment, instead of leaving the city, this currency will stay in the local system.</p>
    <p>In theory, the local cash could spark economic growth and provide new jobs for unemployed Baltimoreans, develop reliable local supply chains, and bring a stronger sense of community to Charm City.</p>
    <p>The Baltimore Green Currency Association (BGCA) is the program responsible for the Creation of BNotes.  The BGCA is a nonprofit group made up volunteers with a common goal of providing economic opportunity to local businesses.</p>
    <p>They accept and are thankful for all <a href="http://baltimoregreencurrency.org/donate" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">donations</a> sent their way… in BNotes preferably!</p>

    <p>Hey everyone,</p>
    <p>Our third week-long game starts Monday, March 5th at 12am. If you are interested in playing, please come to the last pregame meeting, TODAY, at 7pm, in Lecture Hall 2. If you are unable to make the pregame meeting at that time, and you still wish to play, please email us as soon as possible so that an officer can personally brief and register you earlier in the day. Also remember there are no restrictions on weapons for the start of this game.</p>
    <p>A big thanks to everyone who came out to our Invitational this Saturday and to all the officers and subofficers that made it possible.</p>
