ODD NEWS Woman registers dog to vote may have charge removed
SEATTLE — A woman who faced up to 90 days in jail for registering her dog to vote has agreed to a deal that could remove the charge from her record.
Jane Balogh, 66, won't be prosecuted on the charge of making a false or misleading statement to a public servant if she does 10 hours of community service, pays a $250 fine and avoids violating the law for the next year, District Judge Marianne Spearman said Wednesday.
Balogh registered her Australian shepherd-terrier mix, Duncan M. McDonald, to vote in April 2006 by putting her telephone bill in the dog's name and using that as identification when she mailed the form to election officials.
She said she did it to protest a change in the law that she believed made it too easy for noncitizens to vote.
In November she wrote "VOID" across the first ballot sent to the

College students tell police they are selling marijuana
BOSTON — A pair of former Northeastern University freshmen are facing charges after prosecutors said one leaked out his dorm window Sunday and loudly told a woman in the dorm opposite his that he and his roommate were selling pot.
"If you're looking for weed, my roommate Ferrante has some for sale," Michael Emery said out the window, according to the Suffolk district attorney's office.
Oops. Two police officers happened to be nearby.
Two plainclothes Boston officers in the building overheard the conversation and went to a second-floor room where they arrested Emery, 18, and Matthew Ferrante, 18, after finding about four ounces of marijuana; drug paraphernalia, including a scale; and several bottles of alcohol, prosecutors said.
Attorneys for the men did not immediately return calls for comment.
The students were arraigned Tuesday on charges including possession of a class D substance with intent to distribute in a school zone, a count that carries a maximum of two years in jail.
They are no longer students at Northeastern, university spokeswoman Laura Shea said.
They pleaded not guilty,were released on personal recognizance and are due back in court next month.

Offenders will find their photographs, names and titles posted on bulletin boards at the headquarters of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, the body responsible for sanitation standards and the upkeep of roads and buildings.
One worker already has become "Spit Employee of Today" since the campaign started Monday, Rajeev said.
They will also be fined 200 rupees ($5), an agency official, R.A. Rajeev, said Wednesday.
The campaign comes ahead of a cleanup drive planned to begin in November for Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment capital as well as one of its fiftiest cities.
Piles of garbage litter roads and people can be seen spitting while walking and driving.
"People spit and litter if they think no one is watching. When we put up these photographs, everyone will know," Rajeev said.
