text: January 24, 2006 FOIA Counselor Q&A Q: Does an agency have an obligation under the Freedom of Information Act to search through all of the information that is available to it electronically, such as electronic databases to which it has access? A: No. Fundamentally, an agency responding to a FOIA request need conduct a search for responsive records only among its "agency records." It has long been settled that, for FOIA purposes, "agency records" are those records that are within an agency's possession and, most importantly, its "control." See Freedom of Information Act Guide & Privacy Act Overview (May 2004), at 37-38 & n.18 (citing United States Dep't of Justice v. Tax Analysts, 492 U.S. 136, 144-45 (1989)). To be sure, in this electronic age, much of what an agency has in its possession exists in electronic form, often including vast databases that might contain information responsive to a particular FOIA request. But that does not include electronic databases to which an agency has no more than "read only" access. Such databases sometimes are referred to as containing "distributed data," meaning that they constitute information that is distributed to and available to "on screen" to a viewer without being within the viewer's control. Examples are the data made available through LexisNexis, Westlaw, and other such data services; the on-screen viewing of such data by an agency does not make that data an "agency record" under the FOIA. If, however, an agency employee goes beyond that point by printing or otherwise obtaining any such data for the agency's use or its files, then that would constitute an exercise of "control" over the data, making that data an "agency record" subject to the FOIA. Cf. Tax Analysts v. United States Dep't of Justice, 913 F. Supp. 599, 603-04 (D.D.C. 1996) (distinguishing between agency "access to" JURIS database owned by West Publishing Co. on the one hand and "storage" or "any printout" on the other, the latter amounting to agency "control"), aff'd, No. 96-5109, 1997 WL 71746 (D.C. Cir. Jan. 21, 1997) (per curiam). Any "distributed data" that is handled by an agency in such a way certainly would have to be included within the scope of a search for records responsive to a particular FOIA request pertaining to it; otherwise, it would not. Cf. Forsham v. Harris, 445 U.S. 169, 185-86 & n.17 (1980) (reasoning that "unexercised" agency ability to control is insufficient "control" to create "agency record" status under FOIA). Q: Are agencies legally obligated to forward incorrectly directed FOIA requests to other agencies, or other components of the same agency, if the recipient thinks that responsive records might be located there? A: No, not unless an agency chooses to obligate itself to do so by creating such a required practice through its own FOIA regulations. It is not uncommon for an agency to receive a FOIA request for records of a certain type that simply are not maintained by that agency. This likewise can occur within large, decentralized agencies that handle their FOIA requests separately within their components or sub-agencies. In some such instances, beyond determining that they have no record responsive to a FOIA request, the FOIA personnel handling that request might have a good basis to believe that another particular agency, or separate agency component, likely would have the type of record being requested. As a general rule, it is entirely up to the agency whether, as a matter of administrative discretion, it will direct the FOIA requester to that other agency location (which might even involve forwarding the request itself), because nothing in the Act compels an agency to do so. But if an agency's individual FOIA regulations establish such a practice, thereby creating an expectation on the FOIA requester's part, then such an obligation is created. This situation arose in a recently decided case, Friends of Blackwater v. United States Department of the Interior, No. 04-2000 (D.D.C. Sept. 20, 2005), in which the FOIA requester complained of the agency's "failure to forward" its FOIA request, regarding the enforcement of certain environmental laws, to the Office of the Secretary of the Interior. Slip op. at 8. That FOIA request had been made directly to the Fish and Wildlife Service, a sub-agency within the Interior Department, where a search for responsive records was duly conducted. But after the requester challenged the adequacy of this record search, and focused on the Interior Secretary's office as a "likely" place to find some of the records that it sought, the court readily agreed with the requester, even though the requester admittedly had failed to send its request to that distinctly different part of the agency. Id. at 8-9. The court broadly declared: "[F]ailure by one DOI office to refer [sic] a FOIA request to another that is 'likely to have' responsive documents is sufficient to render the agency's search inadequate." Id. at 9. The key point of this decision, however, is that it was explicitly based upon an Interior Department regulation that specifically obligates the Fish and Wildlife Service to forward FOIA requests elsewhere within the Interior Department "if it knows another bureau [of the agency] has or is likely to have" responsive records. 43 C.F.R. § 2.22(a)(1) (2004). In the absence of such a regulation, or under agency FOIA regulations that provide otherwise, see, e.g., 28 C.F.R. §§ 16.3(a), 16.4(a) (2005) (Department of Justice FOIA regulations), there exists no such obligation. Therefore, there ought to be no confusion about the outcome of the Friends of Blackwater case, or the basis for it, just as no one should be confused by the mistaken use of the word "refer" instead of the word "forward" in parts of the court's decision. See Friends of Blackwater, slip op. at 8-10. The "forwarding" of a FOIA request, as noted above, involves nothing more than the discretionary transmittal of the request. A "referral" under the FOIA, of course, involves the transfer of responsibility for processing certain requested records to an agency that originated those particular records, which usually involves only part of the responsibility for an entire FOIA request. See FOIA Update, Vol. XII, No. 3, at 3-4 ("OIP Guidance: Referral and Consultation Procedures") (advising of the sound general rule that "the agency that is best able to determine a record's sensitivity . . . should process that record"). As has been advised in this area of FOIA administration in the past, it is very important to keep such terms "distinct" from one another lest their misuse lead to confusion. See id. at 4. Q: Can an agency ever "scope" a FOIA request within a document page? A: Yes, in some circumstances it can do so. The administrative step of "scoping" a FOIA request, or "scoping out" information within a document that is located in response to a particular request, can be a difficult one that agencies must be particularly careful to handle properly. See FOIA Update, Vol. XVI, No. 3, at 3-5 ("OIP Guidance: Determining the Scope of a FOIA Request") (advising of "general approach to any potential 'scoping' of a document in response to a FOIA request"). Indeed, "it is something not to be done by any agency lightly." Id. at 3. Increasingly, though, especially nowadays with electronic information, agencies find it most efficient to create and store records in forms in which they encompass multiple disparate subjects. Quintessential examples of this are diplomatic cables transmitted by the State Department, which often of necessity are multi-subject records, and lengthy chains of "electronic mail" that might wander through a wide range of subjects before they reach finality. Such documents easily can contain large segments of information that have nothing to do with the subject of the FOIA request for which they have been located. When confronted with such a document in responding to a FOIA request, an agency could reasonably conclude that whole portions of it do not pertain to the subject that is of particular interest to the FOIA requester and that they can be clearly identified to the requester as such -- i.e., as "scoped out" of the agency's FOIA response. See id. at 5 (noting that "[t]he agency must have a firm basis for reaching the conclusion that the ['scoped' portions] deal with a subject that is clearly beyond the scope of the requester's evident interest in the request"). And in processing the growing numbers of aggregated "e-mail" records that agencies now regularly locate as responsive to their FOIA requests, FOIA personnel should use this same good judgment to delineate among the portions of a record that can happen to print out on one document page or another. Cf. St. Andrews Park, Inc. v. United States Dep't of the Army Corps of Eng'rs, 299 F. Supp. 2d 1264, 1271 (S.D. Fla. 2003) (analyzing a "string of e-mails comprising several different e-mails" as other than a single document: "Each such e-mail is a separate document" under the FOIA.). In applying this "scoping" approach to e-mail, for example, agencies should be sure to include any information that is necessary to give the requester "meaningful context" for what is specifically requested, and to of course make sure that the requester is "fully informed of any 'scoping' determination in all instances . . . [with] an opportunity to question or disagree with it." FOIA Update, Vol. XVI, No. 3, at 5 (emphasizing agency obligation to communicate with requesters on all "scoping" matters); see also id. at 4 (observing that "agencies create multiple-subject documents for sound programmatic purposes [and] retain an interest in not having their FOIA programs unduly encumbered by that," because the "'processing' of a record's contents under the FOIA can be a very labor-intensive and time-consuming process"). Q: What is the meaning of an "umbrella issue" under the FOIA? A: The term "umbrella issue" is a relatively new one that has been used by agencies and courts alike to make important distinctions when considering public interest issues under the FOIA. It refers to the logical distinction between the public interest that can exist in an overall subject that relates to a FOIA request (e.g., some matter of significant, perhaps even controversial, agency activity) and the public interest that might or might not be served by disclosure of the actual records that are at hand in that particular FOIA request. For example, the District Court for the District of Columbia recently used this term when deciding whether a public interest organization was entitled to special expedited processing, on an urgent "media interest" basis under the Act, see 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(E)(v)(II), of its FOIA request for records relating to the general subject of "data mining." Elec. Privacy Info. Ctr. v. DOD, 355 F. Supp. 2d 98, 102 (D.D.C. 2004). Ruling against the FOIA requester, the court found that the requester had "failed to present the agency with evidence that there is a 'substantial interest' in the 'particular aspect' of [its] FOIA request." Id. In other words, the court said, "[t]he fact that [the requester] has provided evidence that there is some media interest in data mining as an umbrella issue does not satisfy the requirement that [it] demonstrate interest in the specific subject of [its] FOIA request." Id. (emphasis added); see also ACLU of N. Cal. v. Dep't of Justice, No. 04-4447, 2005 WL 588354, at *13 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 11, 2005) (likewise ruling that "it was not sufficient for the plaintiffs to show [public] interest in only the general subject area of the request"). This approach of carefully distinguishing the general from the specific has ready application to other areas of FOIA decisionmaking, such as in determining whether particular record portions at hand are of such nature that their disclosure actually would serve an identified general public interest and therefore warrant the overriding of personal privacy interests in an Exemption 6 or Exemption 7(C) balancing process. See, e.g., KTVY-TV v. United States, 919 F.2d 1465, 1470 (10th Cir. 1990) (rejecting an assertion that "the public interest at stake is the right of the public to know" about a controversial event, because on careful analysis the particular record segments at issue "do not provide information about" that subject); see also, e.g., NTEU v. Griffin, 811 F.2d 644, 648 (D.C. Cir. 1987) (declaring similarly in the context of FOIA fee waiver decisionmaking that "the links between furnishing the requested information and benefitting the general public" should not be "tenuous"); cf. Cotton v. Heyman, 63 F.3d 1115, 1120 (D.C. Cir. 1995) (applying comparable approach to determination of plaintiff's entitlement to award of attorney fees under FOIA). Q: Can "A-76 documents" be protected under a FOIA exemption? A: Yes, in many instances, at least for a period of time, they can be withheld pursuant to the government's "commercial information" privilege under Exemption 5. The phrase "A-76 documents" commonly refers to the process by which an agency follows a longstanding federal policy for "the competition of commercial activities" of agencies, often generally known as "contracting out" or "competitive sourcing," under OMB Circular A-76. This policy traces back to the 1950s, but it has become a matter of greater agency priority during the past two years since Circular A-76 was revised by the Office of Management and Budget in 2003. In the words of OMB: "Circular A-76 is a set of policies and procedures to help determine whether public or private sources will undertake the federal government's commercial activities and services, ranging from software consulting, research and lab work to facilities management." Background and Facts on Competitive Sourcing and Revisions to Circular A-76, at 1 (May 29, 2003). When an agency follows this policy for the possible "outsourcing" of some of its "not inherently governmental" activities, it submits its own bid on that work through which it competes with potential private-sector contractors "to determine if government personnel should [continue to] perform" it. OMB Circular A-76, at ¶ 4.d (May 29, 2003). In so doing, an agency necessarily prepares several types of records, such as "agency cost estimate[s]," that lead to the compilation and submission of its "agency tender." Id., Attachment D, at 2. This can be exactly the type of information that an outside bidder in the A-76 process could use to the agency's distinct commercial disadvantage in that process. Fortunately, Rule 26(c)(7) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that "for good cause shown . . . a trade secret or other confidential research, development or commercial information" is privileged from discovery, and the Supreme Court has held that such information "generated by the Government itself in the process leading up to awarding a contract" therefore can fall within the protective ambit of Exemption 5. Fed. Open Market Comm. v. Merrill, 443 U.S. 340, 360 (1979); see also Freedom of Information Act Guide & Privacy Act Overview (May 2004), at 415-16; FOIA Update, Vol. IV, No. 4, at 14-15. Indeed, this very situation was confronted under a predecessor version of Circular A-76 during the 1980s, when such a potential outside bidder sought to obtain through the FOIA an agency's own analysis of its "manpower distribution," its "salary costs," its overall "cost data," and the like. Morrison-Knudsen Co. v. Dep't of the Army of the United States, 595 F. Supp. 352, 353 n.3 (D.D.C. 1984), aff'd, 762 F.2d 138 (D.C. Cir. 1985) (unpublished table decision). The agency in question, the Army Command at Fort Benning, Georgia, was in the process of "competing" certain of its facilities maintenance activities on that military base, and it fully intended to release the requested information "after bids [were] opened and [a contract] award made," but it argued vigorously that any earlier disclosure under the FOIA would "have an adverse effect on the procurement and the benefits expected from the competitive process." 595 F. Supp. at 354. The court firmly agreed with this agency judgment, concluding that FOIA disclosure would "place the Army at a competitive disadvantage with respect to the [c]urrent A-76 if the information [were] released before the bids [were] opened and an award made." Id. at 356; see also id. at 355 (reasoning further that disclosure "might also discourage firms from taking the initiative to come forward with more innovative techniques for cutting costs in the hope of underbidding a more uncertain Army 'bid'"). So an agency going through a current A-76 process that receives a FOIA request for records that would "enable an informed bidder . . . to make a closer approximation [of its bid] than would be possible on the basis of the information to be released with the bid invitation and other available data" should rely on this precedent, and the government's special commercial privilege under Exemption 5, in protecting its commercial interests in that process. Id. (emphasizing the commercial privilege's applicability where "the documents sought might place previously unavailable information in the hands of bidders who could use it to the competitive disadvantage of the government's in-house bid"); see also Taylor Woodrow Int'l v. United States, No. 88-429, 1989 WL 1095561, at *3 (W.D. Wash. Apr. 5, 1989) (upholding an agency's use of the commercial privilege where disclosure would permit the FOIA requester to take "unfair commercial advantage" of the agency); Hack v. Dep't of Energy, 538 F. Supp. 1098, 1104 (D.D.C. 1982) (applying the commercial privilege to procurement records where otherwise "the agency would not be on equal footing" with private-sector bidders).

Clarksburg, W.Va. (AP) -- Harrison County officials have closed a hiking and biking trail after lead and other contaminants were discovered.
The northern Harrison County bike and hike trail runs 7 miles between north view and spelter.
Its entrance is located on a former glass plant site.
Don Martin with the state Department of Environmental Protection says contaminants found on the trail include lead and arsenic.
Contamination levels haven't been determined.
Harrison County planning commission director Terry Schulte said last week that the trail would be closed indefinitely.
A Maryland engineering firm that designed the trail will conduct further tests for the county.

IFS, the global enterprise software company, has released a study illustrating that companies in complex industrial settings are not receiving the full benefit from enterprise resource planning (ERP) and other enterprise software.
While the promise of ERP is to consolidate business data and processes onto a centralized application for greater visibility and control, the diversification and complexity of some companies pushes the limits of what their enterprise software can deliver. According to the study results, some of the most demanding and complex business environments, where a company may be forced to run multiple software products are:
- Engineering, procurement, and construction contractors, including those serving the oil and gas industry.
- Engineer to order manufacturers.
- Process manufacturers.
The study is based on a survey of more than 200 executives with industrial and manufacturing companies in North America. Results were reviewed and interpreted by Cindy Jutras, principal analyst, Mint Jutras of Boston.
Among the key findings:
- Most manufacturers must deal with managing a variety of styles of manufacturing including multiple modes of "to order."
- Batch process manufacturers, engineer to order manufacturers and engineering, procurement and construction contractors all are involved in multiple other business processes.
- This diversity creates a need for multiple enterprise applications; companies average 3.24 different types of applications but may run as many as seven. They may run more than one of a given type of software (multiple ERP products, for instance), so the total number of applications may be much higher.
- The better an enterprise software environment facilitates project management in an integrated way, the better it meets a variety of complex needs.
"We see these results as an indication that too many complex industries are running enterprise software that is just a poor fit for their business," IFS North America Vice President of Marketing Steve Andrew said. "The management of these businesses is suffering because they are paying to license and maintain not one, not two, but as many as seven different types of enterprise software applications. They are suffering because they are missing out on the benefits of a unified enterprise software environment. These study results suggest they would be better served by selecting and implementing an enterprise software application designed for diversified, complex project and asset-intensive environments."
The study is available for free download at: http://download.ifsworld.com/studies.

Thomas Bitman of Gartner wrote a blog post last year about why OpenStack projects fail. In that article, he outlined three particular metrics which together cause 60% of OpenStack projects to fall short of expectations: Wrong people (31% of failures): a successful cloud needs commitment both from the operations team as well as from "anchor" tenants. Wrong processes (19% of failures): a successful cloud automates across silos in the software development lifecycle, not just within silos.

There's a lot of things we do to improve the performance of web and mobile applications. We use caching. We use compression. We offload security (SSL and TLS) to a proxy with greater compute capacity. We apply image optimization and minification to content. We do all that because performance is king. Failure to perform can be, for many businesses, equivalent to an outage with increased abandonment rates and angry customers taking to the Internet to express their extreme displeasure.

Monitoring of Docker environments is challenging. Why? Because each container typically runs a single process, has its own environment, utilizes virtual networks, or has various methods of managing storage. Traditional monitoring solutions take metrics from each server and applications they run. These servers and applications running on them are typically very static, with very long uptimes. Docker deployments are different: a set of containers may run many applications, all sharing the resource...

The premise is that by splitting up read and write duties, it is possible to get better overall performance at the cost of a slight delay in consistency.

Four Things to Watch Ahead of Tesla's Results
Tesla Motors quarterly report is due Tuesday afternoon after the closing bell. Expectations are high, to say the least.
Shares are up more than 400% this year. The worry is even a slight miss on either Tesla's top- or bottom-line could prompt a sizable drop in the stock, which has been among the top performers this year.
Shares recently rose 1% to $176.98. The stock is coming off a 17.3% drop in October, the first monthly drop since February and the biggest tumble since 2010. It peaked on Sept. 30 at $194.50.
Here are four things analysts and investors will be watching when Tesla reports Tuesday after the closing bell.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect Tesla to earn a third-quarter profit of 11 cents a share on revenue of $535 million.
Tesla posted its first quarterly profit in history in the first quarter, results that stoked enthusiasm about the electric-car maker and played a major role the stock's jolt higher. Even so, the company's accumulated deficit, reflecting past quarterly losses, is $1.08 billion.
Tesla cited improved gross margins and increased production in its most recent results, figures that prompted the stock to jump more than 10% at the time.
Keep a close eye on those analysts' expectations. Depending on how the actual results compare to them could play a big role in the stock's knee-jerk reaction later this afternoon.
Last quarter, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company was on track to achieve 25% gross margins for the year, a figure that will be watched closely in today's results.
"We see incremental visibility for Tesla achieving fourth quarter gross-margin targets of 25% excluding credits as the most important item on the [conference call with analysts," says Craig Irwin, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, who has an outperform rating and a $240 price target on Tesla.
Mr. Musk previously said Tesla can deliver 21,000 cars this year. The company also said it cost about 22% less to build a car than it received in revenue. Keep an eye on updates for both metrics.
The reception to Tesla's first full-line vehicle has been strong, and some believe the company could revolutionize the car industry.
Others aren't so sure.
Many investors are betting the stock price's sharp rally is due for a fall. As of last week, about 11.2% of available Tesla shares were out on loan to short sellers, according to Markit. Short sellers borrow stock and sell it, betting the price will fall so they can buy it back later at a lower price and pocket the difference.
Short interest, or the percentage of shares on loan, reached as high as 24.4% in March, but remains far above the average of 2.3% of shares across the S&P 500.
Any good news from Tesla could fuel a so-called short squeeze, which is when the shorts are forced to buy more to cover their positions, which pushes the rally even higher.
It has been tough to be a Tesla short this year. Few would be surprised if that changed now.
WSJ's Ahead of the Tape scribe Spencer Jakab described it best:
"The real payoff lies years in the future and will involve taking meaningful share from major auto makers.
"The reason to possibly get excited about a good quarter today isn't the bottom line—it is to gauge Tesla's ability to deliver on those long-term ambitions. But the odds of success are much lower than the company's value implies, no matter if it soars over a low quarterly sales hurdle."
That's exactly what stock investors have been betting on over the past year. It's not the specific quarterly figures that necessarily matter right now, but whether Tesla will be able to achieve many of its long-term visions it has embarked upon.
"Tesla's multi-year lead over credible competition suggests the company is well positioned to keep surprising conventional automotive OEM competitors and execute on its communicated strategy." says Mr. Irwin at Wedbush.

Manufacturer: Linksys, Inc.
Price: $144.00 US
Reviewer: Ralph Krause
After adding a second Linux box to my home network, I lost almost all of my work space. Juggling all those keyboards and mice was a hassle, not to mention trying to find enough electrical outlets. I had thought about getting a KVM (keyboard-video-mouse) switch, but held off getting one until a friend told me about his good experience with the Linksys ProConnect CPU switch.
I purchased the Linksys ProConnect 4-Station CPU switch, and currently use it to control two Linux PCs and one Windows PC. The switch works well, and I have been very satisfied with it.
The ProConnect 4-Station CPU switch has a relatively small footprint, measuring just 10.25 x 7 x 3 in inches. The CPU switch comes with a power adapter and must be plugged into a standard electrical outlet to work. The ProConnect CPU switch also comes with a small, but thorough, manual.
Several companies sell complete keyboard, mouse and monitor cable sets for KVM switches, so you can get all the cables you need for your systems in one convenient package. Be sure to check the mouse and keyboard ports of your PCs before buying the cables. You can use either a PS/2 or an AT-style keyboard, but you must use the same style mouse (PS/2 or AT) on the ProConnect switch that your computers use. If you have a mix of PS/2 and AT-style mice, you will have to plug two mice (one PS/2 and one AT) into the mouse console ports of the ProConnect switch, according to the manual.
Setting up the ProConnect switch is straightforward. Plug your keyboard, monitor and mouse into the unit's console ports. Then connect the keyboard, monitor and mouse patch cables between the ProConnect switch and each of the PCs you wish to control. Finally, plug the ProConnect's power adapter into the wall, and turn it on.
The ProConnect CPU 4-Station switch has four red LEDs, four green LEDs and four pushbuttons in addition to the power switch on the front panel. The red LEDs indicate which PCs are powered up, and the green LEDs indicate which PC you are currently controlling.
Changing the current PC can be done through the keyboard or by pushing one of the buttons on the front panel. The keyboard sequence for switching PCs in the ProConnect manual is incorrect. The correct sequence is to press and release the ALT key, press and release the CTRL key, press and release the SHIFT key, then press and release the number (1-4) of the PC you want to use, and finally, press the ENTER key.
The ProConnect switch can also scan through all the PCs connected to it. To start scanning, enter the keyboard sequence above, but press 0 for the computer number. After the ENTER key is pressed, the ProConnect switch will cycle through all the running PCs. To stop this automatic scanning, press the space bar.
ProConnect CPU switches can also be connected to other ProConnect CPU switches to provide control to many PCs with one keyboard, mouse and monitor. The instruction manual provides the proper DIP switch settings and cable connections to use for cascading.
If you're using the CPU switch to control Windows PCs, make sure the Windows PC option is selected on the CPU switch while it is booting up, or its screen won't have the proper resolution when you change to it.
I have used my Linksys ProConnect switch for several months now, and am entirely satisfied with it. In addition to freeing up valuable desk space, the ProConnect switch makes it easy to use multiple PCs without the hassle of finding the right mouse and keyboard.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Undated (AP) Several states from the central U.S. to the mid-Atlantic are in the path of a sloppy and even deadly mix of snow and ice.
Parts of Kentucky are coated with an inch-and-a-half of sleet and freezing rain that's been knocking down trees and power lines and causing transformers to explode. As much as 5-to-10 inches of snow could also fall.
Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri are getting ready for a second day of winter weather. Southern and central Missouri should expect more freezing rain, sleet and snow, to make hazardous driving conditions even worse. Five people have died in accidents so far.
Parts of Maryland could also have five inches of snow by the time the storm finishes passing through the region tomorrow.

Morning Roundup: Scorsese Gets Golden Globe Honor; Two Troubadours Tour; and Will the Who Play Super Bowl XLIV?
"Goodfellas," Great Director: Director Martin Scorsese can add another golden statuette to his stash in January when he receives the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award at the 67th Golden Globes. The director of such classics as "Raging Bull", "Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas" won two Golden Globes later in his career for "Gangs of New York" and "The Departed." Now the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will honor his entire body of work. "He has the power to rouse a crowd and bring them along on his holy mission," said actress Vera Farmiga. "He considers it holy work, and cinema is his shrine." [The Wrap]
The Who at Superbowl?: The famous Abbott and Costello comedy routine "Who's on first?" may soon get a football update. There have been a number of reports that British rockers The Who will take the stage in the U.S. for the first time since 2008 in Miami on Feb. 7 at Superbowl XLIV. But while you're queuing "My Generation," the National Football League's response to the stories is a shrug: "When we have something to announce, we'll announce it." Ever since Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction, casting for the NFL's half-time show has skewed more towards older (and presumably more predictable) rock and pop stars with Prince, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and Bruce Springsteen performing over the last three years. Speakeasy would love to see Radiohead, the Strokes, the Roots or Amy Winehouse play the Super Bowl, but we fully realize that's our own private fantasy. [Reuters]
Mo' MOCA: The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles reopened thanks to a donation from billionaire philanthropist Eli Broad. Almost a year after the recession nearly caused its collapse, the museum has no debt. Thanks to the $30 million donation from Broad, and matching funds from other donors, the museum will go ahead with "Collections: MOCA's First Thirty Years," an exhibit displaying the work of 200 artists starting Sunday. On Saturday, the museum will host a gala to raise money with a performance by Lady Gaga and the Bolshoi Ballet on a stage conceived by Francesco Vezzoli. [LA Times]
Two Troubadours Tour: James Taylor and Carole King are headed back on stage again. The two have announced seven dates for an coming tour, and more are expected to be added to the itinerary. In 1970, Taylor and King shared a stage for the first time at the Troubadour, the famous club in West Hollywood that has seen the likes of Joni Mitchell, The Byrds and Neil Young. The tour is being called the "Troubadour Tour." A factoid: The Troubadour is where Lori Lieberman saw a Don McLean performance that inspired her to pen "Killing Me Softly." If that ever comes up in a game show, you'll thank us. [Reuters]

"These cards are printed on a sturdy, textured cardstock and the color is just right (not too bright, not too dark). I'm glad I ordered this design and will purchase again when I run low on cards."
"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."
"The design was super easy to edit to reflect my contact information, and leave off what didn't apply (no job title, no fax, no headings on the back) They come in a nice sturdy little box to keep the cards neat & clean!"
"I used the red for a bold pop of color. Love how the card stands out in a group of other people's cards. VERY pleased with this and highly recommend based on quality and creative design."
"I was ecstatic when received my orde earlier than expected, and I was so happy when I opened the package. my business cards were beautiful, professional, and added a bit of my stylish touch to it. I added the pearl shine to my cards which helped them stand out more. Being a new photographer, I'm so excited to pass out my cards to my clients!"

About MeI really only have time to do stuff on the weekends right now but I would love to make modeling a regular trend in my life. I'm doing this site to hopefully gain more experience and get my name and face out there.
I have little experience with modeling but I love doing it and normally do paid assignments but would consider time for print if the portfolio is impressing. I will consider implied nude, but will not do nude.
I have a very bubbly and flirty personality so I rarely don't get along with people. I put 100% in everything that I do, no holding back. Despite my pictures, I love laughing and having a good time, trying to make the best out of the worst situation.
I just moved from Las Vegas to Wichita Kansas will be here for a few more years to come. The best way to reach me is by email. I greatly appreciate any and all comments! Thanks for taking your time to look! :)

So I was out shopping and was pre-writing a post in my head about the crowdedness of the bathroom when I turned around and heard a splash! I look in the toilet and IT'S MY CELL PHONE!!! Luckily it was an auto matic flush but I did not hesitate to grab my phone out of the toilet water. I dried it off and AHA it still worked. So I sent DH a text letting him know how embarassed I was (didn't help with a 2 year old saying EW, you dropped your phone in the toilet) and then while I was in the checkout got a text from my sis and responded. Well I went to send DH another text and my phone had died. Stupid toilet water!!! To brighten my day I had a $10 gift card for the grand opening of Kohls's and I got a 3 piece carters outfit for FREE!!! regularly $24. (I'll post a pic later since it's the first baby thing I've bought) So lost a phone got a free outfit. EH almost evens the score!

take the battery out, rinse your phone in distilled water and let it air dry for two days before trying to put it back together... works like a charm!
Jett Alder 11-19-09, and Idabel Ann 11-5-11
take the phone apart and put it in a bowl of uncooked white rice!! Sounds crazy - but allegedly it works like a charm!
The rice idea does work but only if you don't use the phone first! Once you get the phone wet, take the battery out and put both in rice for two days. If you try to operate a wet phone, the wiring gets ruined and nothing will fix it (from what I have been told).
- Terri - FTM all over again!
LOL - funny.
Never heard of either of the above solutions - damn it. I wish I knew those I have lost two phones one to the toilet monster and another to the washing machine.

wow I wasn't even going to try to salvage it, I was just going to sit and be pissed about it, but thanks ladies I will try it all! I did use it to text a couple times because it was working. But when I took the battery out I noticed all the water under it and under my SIM card...think it ruined the SIM card?

So I had a cup in the cupholder in my car that had been there for a day with melted ice/Sprite in it. It was one of those cheap paper cups, not styrofoam. My husband, who can be a child, is playing with the straw, when all of the sudden, my phone, which is in the OTHER compartment of the cupholder, becomes flooded. He poked the straw through the cup! Grrrr....
BUT, he did take my phone apart (no small feat for an iphone, I've heard), and it managed to start working again within just a few hours. So far (knock on wood) I've had no problems, and it's been a few months.

try the rice!!! it soaks up all the water.. and i think you sim card should be fine.. maybe use some lysol..lol
The sim should be fine just wipe it down with a clean cloth. as for the phone if it is shot then you can always go and buy a pre-paid phone for $20 or more if you want a better one. And just stick your original sim card in there. No hassle no upgrades, no fuss. That's what I did when my phone died.
I have that same $10 gift card too I want to use it this weekend on a diaper bag.
Then again what do I know.....I'm just an uneducated mother that vaccinates her children and feeds them solids before they turn 3years old.

I am so glad I went on-line to research this job before it was to late. I saw that other people were sent the same amount of money and also different amounts of money. What tipped me off was the Western Union assignment to send them back $3510. and instuctions on evaulating their security. This was a very large amoung of money to use in a mystery shopper survey and it isn't valid and if you think it is to good to be true then it probably is. Do not fall for this scam.
I also called the second number listed 1-905-781-0234 and looked up the address of this company given which doesn't exist. I did a reverse search on this number and it came back as a cell phone number. I called the first number listed 1-888-621-5587 and asked if they had ever been turned in to the BBB and the person that I spoke to advised that they hadn't. I advised that I thought he was lying to me and that he would be getting turned into the BBB today by myself.

Ranveer and I can kill each other: Anushka Sharma
"I like him, he's attractive but we two are very different people. We have a very volatile relationship, we can actually kill each other and I am serious. I can bite his head off, he can take mine off," she confessed.
She went on to say that she needs Ranveer's help for a good relationship. "So for me, if I need to be with another man, he needs to calm me down otherwise it would not be a good relationship.. I'm serious," she added.
Well, it looks like Ranveer and Anushka are inseparably connected to each other!

Welcome to the UK Wind Engineering Society
The Wind Engineering Society (WES) is an Specialist Knowledge Society of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) that exists to promote cooperation in the advancement and application of knowledge in all aspects of wind engineering.
Wind Engineering is a wide ranging multi-disciplinary subject concerned with the effects of wind on the natural and built environment. Wind Engineers are involved in managing the risks of wind induced hazards, predicting wind loads on structures and predicting the pedestrian level wind environment. They also work to exploit the wind resource for pollutant dispersion, natural ventilation and as a renewable energy.
The WES organises regular technical meetings in the UK, publishes a quarterly newsletter and acts as a representative body for wind engineering in the UK. It also organises the biennial UK Wind Engineering conference. The WES is also the UK national delegate to the International and European Associations for Wind Engineering.
The WES welcomes all who have an interest in wind engineering, whether in research or in application to design and construction.
Next Technichal Meeting
The next Technical meeting will be a joint meeting with IStructE on 1st December. The topic will be "Joint WSP/RWDI presentation the dynamic wind effects on slender towers". Location: 47-58 Bastwick Street, London, EC1V 3PS

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s home in Montgomery, Ala., is preserved at the Dexter Avenue Church Parsonage.

Explosive offense leads Gators past Mustangs
Published: Sunday, April 1, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 1, 2007 at 12:16 a.m.
BOURG -- South Terrebonne put together a 16-hit attack to defeat Assumption 14-4 in District 6-5A baseball play on Saturday.
"This was a good win after our Thursday loss," Gators coach Nathan Cotten said," They hit the ball like I knew they could, and Ben Landry did a good job in relief."
South Terrebonne (13-8, 2-3 district) scored four runs in the bottom of the first inning. Chris Beniot drove in Brock Hebert on a single for the first run of the inning. Gabriel Trujillo stole home as Beniot stole second base. Carl Leblanc singled to drive in Beniot and Josh Neils RBI double closed out gave South Terrebonne a 4-0 lead.
The Gators increased their lead to 7-0 in the bottom of the second. Beniot drove in Hebert and Trujillo stole home again. Leblanc picked up another RBI when he drove in Beniot.
The Mustangs (10-8-1, 2-3) drew closer by scoring four runs in the top of the third, taking advantage of the wildness of South Terrebonne pitcher Kurt Charpentier, who walked the bases loaded.
"We werent able to capitalize on South Terrebonnes mistakes," Assumption coach Daniel Manry coach said.
Bobby Simmons, Jordan Ohmer, Dustin Boudreaux, and Ben Tolbot all scored in the inning to cut the Mustangs deficit to 7-4 as Charpentier walked five batsmen.
The Gators widened their lead to 14-4 by scoring seven runs over the last three innings.
Jonathan Lirette hit a three-run home run -- his third homer of the season -- over the left-field fence. Ben Landry scored the Gators last run in the bottom of the fourth when he came home on an overthrow to third base.
Leblanc picked up his third RBI of the game when he drove in Trujillo in the bottom of the fifth. In the bottom of the sixth, Corey Dupre reached base on a single and then advanced to third on a passed ball. T.J. Henry tripled to the right-field fence, and came home when the throw to third went over the fence.
Ben Landry pitched the final 3 2/3 innings for the Gators and had six strikeouts and walked two batters.
At Bourg, Saturdays game between the Lady Patriots (4-14, 1-9) and the Lady Gators (8-9, 7-3) was postponed due to the threat of inclement weather.
No makeup date has been set.

Reason for this letter, would be first to terminate the account and service with Innovative Merchant Solutions Company for the credit card machine, and second to file a complaint.
Person writing this letter would be the son of the mother that runs the small business, because she has a minimum understanding of English.
Two salesmen Ben and Andres had came to our small store and explained that they were sent from the credit card company, to fix some errors that were made in the first contract with the original credit card company for the credit card machine. They explained that they were from the SAME credit card company that was providing service, due to some errors that were made they were here to FIX the errors, even brought up the companys files, previous salesmans name, said they were just here to fix the error. My mother who had a minimum amount of understanding in English had witnesses such as the store customers; they had heard the same words of which the two salesmen said. Paperwork was being done, my mother was instructed how to fill out the application and all she had to do was sign the papers, and they were very convincing even told her that the monthly fee is lowered and that the first salesmen had scammed her. They called a reprehensive to talk with my mother to confirm the contract and as proof, they told my mother to say yes to every question, and everything would be done in a breeze. Yesterday the company called and asks my mother to insert the PIN into the credit card machine, but it could not be done, so company said that the machine was probably broken, and they would send a new credit card machine today January 10th 2008. While we were on the phone with the company we had asked again if they were the same company that was providing service, but they said no, this is a new different company.That is when we had realized that they were two completely DIFFERENT companies, and we had basically been scammed, we wish to close the account and services from Innovative, and please note that we will NOT pay for the termination fee, and the two salesmen even said IF we wish to cancel our account and services this will all be free.
