Awesome Cake, made it for a family get together and everyone loved it. The only thing i changed was substituting pecans for the walnuts. And I will probably only bake it 30 minutes the next time i make it so it will have more of a cake like texture. But loved the taste YUM....
This is not really cake but rather a brownie with a sweet frosting. I have a true sweet tooth and this was too sweet for me.

These really should be called mississippi mud brownies. They are so dense and thick - just like the perfect brownie. My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVED this recipe. I may use the base "cake" part as my regular brownie recipe. Thank you so much! Fabulous dessert!
I made this cake for my husband's birthday and everyone that ate any wanted the recipe. It is absolutely delicious.
This is really more like a brownie than a cake. It is pretty dense, really chewy... and really fabulous! I'd definitely make it again. I made this recipe exactly as noted, except I also ground up some Oreos and added on top the icing, to give the "mud" cake a "dirt" topping. I also added some gummy worms on top just for fun.
4.5 stars! But three things: 1) I forgot the nuts; 2) I made it the night before and served it cold -- which I loved; and 3) I was appalled by the amount of sugar in this recipe and had to reduce it somehow. I ended up cutting back the amount of powdered sugar in the recipe by a full cup (down to 2c), and it was perfect. I loved the ooey-gooeyness (sp?) of it.
I have been searching for this recipe, it is very close to one my grandma used to make! Thank You, it's awesome!
I love this cake. It seemed a little more like a brownie. It didn't rise very high but gosh it is a great sweet. I might bake it a less then the 35 minutes. I left out the nuts because some people just don't like nuts and it is wonderful without them.

The investment industry offers several "safe money" alternatives under the umbrella of "short-term investments," "temporary investments," or, in the Wall Street lexicon, "cash equivalent investments," or just plain "cash."
These types of investments pay interest with little or no risk that you'd lose principal. With a couple of exceptions, you can also take your money out immediately with no loss of principal.
Some examples include certificates of deposit, money market accounts, money market funds, and U.S. Treasury bills.
There are a lot of reasons why you should have at least some of your money invested in these types of accounts without having to worry about the money losing value or suddenly becoming inaccessible.
For example, it is a good idea to have a few months' living expenses in an emergency fund where you can easily access it. If you're retired, you might want to keep enough of your retirement investments in safe securities to fund up to two years' worth of living expenses. This will prevent you from having to sell other investments at a loss if the market continues to decline.
Having money in these investments also makes it easy to meet foreseeable short-term cash needs that can't be paid for out of your job income. These can include college tuition, home improvements, a car, or another big-ticket item.
Here are three essentials to consider when deciding where to put your safe money:
1. Safe. Whether fleeing the stock market or temporarily setting money aside to be used in the near future, you don't want to risk losing your principal.
2. Accessible. You want to be able to get your hands on the money within a day, ideally at no cost or at minimal cost.
3. Decent interest. You want to earn an attractive rate of interest. Since the interest rate paid (the "yield") on safe investments varies considerably, doing some comparison shopping will be rewarding, particularly when the interest paid on these investments is as low as it is now.

Negotiations between the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission and the Crown community are yielding little progress as construction ramps up in the Gaithersburg community.
Westbrook Partners, one of the developers handling the Crown site at Fields Road and Sam Eig Highway, are concerned about two large water mains underneath Neighborhood 3, which is slated for future residential, transit and school development. Construction has not begun on that portion of Crown, but units in the other two-thirds of the Gaithersburg site are currently being built.
The two mains in Neighborhood 3, 36 inches and 60 inches in diameter, were installed in the 1960s. WSSC has formed an ad hoc committee to discuss safety measures for building near large-diameter water mains. According to Gary Gumm, a chief engineer at WSSC, large mains can fail "catastrophically." Smaller pipes may hold together if they suffer a leak, but the larger mains can break apart, causing an explosion that can throw debris over 200 feet, according to WSSC documents.
The committee, which first met in April, is discussing the concept of an 80-foot setback, where buildings would be constructed at least that far away from large water mains. Westbrook may have to redesign the plan for Neighborhood 3 if WSSC enforces the setback.
WSSC spokesperson I.J. Hudson said developers are currently required to abide by a 25 foot-setback.
Gaithersburg's city council has expressed concern that the committee's progress is too slow for the rapidly developing Crown community. According to Gaithersburg Planning and Code Administration Director John Schlichting, Westbrook has communicated to the city that they will not file any construction plans for townhomes near the water mains until the setback issue is resolved.
Westbrook offered to pay $3 million for new water mains, but only if they were reimbursed through credits. WSSC spokesperson Jerry Irvine said the Crown development does not qualify for those credits, and according to Hudson, there are no similar reimbursements the utility could offer.
Because of limitations on fill dirt and grading over any WSSC pipe, Hudson said the utility asked Crown to make changes to its construction plan. WSSC is still reviewing the submission, he said.
Westbrook Partners Executive Vice President Bobby Zeiller declined to comment on any negotiations taking place between the developer and the utility.

* required fields
The CA Technologies Brumbies have been beaten by newcomers the Melbourne Rebels after a see-sawing match where the lead changed hands six times.
It was a penalty goal in the final minute by English recruit Danny Cipriani which sealed the fate of the CA Technologies Brumbies, who had held the lead by two points with one minute left on the clock.
After the Rebels turned in an ordinary performance last week against the Waratahs, the CA Technologies Brumbies had been favourites to claim a win in Melbourne, but it appears Cipriani, Stirling Mortlock and Head Coach Rod Macqueen had other ideas when they took the field on Friday evening.
As they did in Week One against the Waratahs, the Rebels started the game competitively earning the glut of possession and field position during the opening quarter.
And when CA Technologies Brumbies prop Ben Alexander rested his hand on the ground during a scrum, it looked as if the Rebels would register their first ever points through the boot of Danny Cipriani.
While that shot sailed to the right of the sticks and Matt Giteau followed almost immediately with three points of his own, it was just five minutes later Cipriani landed the Rebels first ever points with another penalty – this time the CA Technologies Brumbies being called off side inside their own 22.
Referee Jonathan Kaplan was not afraid to use his whistle, awarding the Rebels seven opportunities to kick for goal throughout the match, of which Cipriani landed six.
Cipriani's personal total of 20 points has given the media something else to write about rather than several off-field misdemeanours which were reported throughout the week.
When it looked like the two teams would head to the break level, Pat McCabe found himself on the end of some lovely work from Matt Giteau to score in the corner. The kick was converted and the CA Technologies Brumbies headed to the break leading 16-9.
The CA Technologies Brumbies started the second half in control, mounting pressure well into Rebels territory. But mistakes again let the CA Technologies Brumbies down, handing the ball back to the Melbourne side without turning possession into points.
Within minutes the ball was back in the CA Technologies Brumbies half, with Cipriani adding six more points through two penalties to the Rebels score, bringing them back to 16-15.
A Giteau drop-goal in the 54th minute supplied some breathing space, but the relentless Rebels attack persisted at the CA Technologies Brumbies line, with former ACT Captain Mortlock grabbing Melbourne's first ever try just left of the posts to give the Rebels the lead.
The CA Technologies Brumbies hit back again with another try to Henry Speight – his career first – but it wasn't enough with Kaplan awarding the Rebels a penalty right in front of the posts for Cipriani to claim a maiden win for Melbourne.
Rebels 25 (S Mortlock try; D Cipriani 6 pens, 1 con) bt CA Technologies Brumbies 24 (P McCabe, H Speight tries; Giteau 3 pens, 1 dg, 1 con).

Quotes from the Football Media Luncheon
Monday, October 30, 2000
Quotes from Head Coach Paul Hamilton:
On The Remainder of the Season:
On Georgia Southern
"They shot us down in the first half. Their defense does not get the credit that it deserves. We are going to have to do a better job offensively."
"Offensively, Georgia Southern spreads your defense out so thin that any of their offensive players can make a big play anytime they want."
On Wofford
"I look at where we are. We have played eight games, five on the road, at Georgia Southern and Colorado State included."
"We have to regroup. I was disappointed because I do not enjoy getting beat like that. We are getting ready to play another real good football team."
"They are a very good football team and they deserve serious playoff consideration."
"They are coached very well, have a good kicking game and and they as a team have gotten better year after year."

As President Obama and congressional Republicans steam into another year of confrontation and collision, neither side commands a consistent majority of public support for its top priorities. That may be the single overriding conclusion from the past year of United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll results.
On taxes, clean energy, Medicare's future, a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, and social issues such as gay rights and gun control, the surveys found the public leaning toward positions favored by Obama and most Capitol Hill Democrats. On domestic energy production, tax incentives for investment, and the mandate central to Obama's health care law, the polls found the public leaning toward positions favored by most congressional Republicans.
On the debt and deficit—the issue that will likely dominate the debate between the two parties again this year—Americans tilt more toward Democratic than Republican solutions but are deeply resistant to any changes in tax or entitlement policy that could pinch their own wallets. Put another way, people are dubious of almost any of the steps that most analysts in both parties consider essential to any long-term fiscal stabilization plan. "They see deficit reduction as something worth doing, as an important abstract goal, but … people tend to be more intense about their own costs than they are about abstract costs," says longtime GOP pollster Whit Ayres.
Rippling through these differences are deep divisions along lines of party affiliation, education, age, and, above all, race. On many questions, whites lean toward positions much more favorable to Republicans, and more skeptical of government, than nonwhites do. In one of the most dramatic examples, nearly twice as many minorities as whites in a survey last September said Obama's health care law would benefit people like them and their families. The large and racially diverse millennial generation, another cornerstone of the Democrats' "coalition of the ascendant," consistently bent more toward that party's position on energy, gay rights, contraception, and other issues, while seniors leaned toward the GOP.
These disparities reflect a broader trend in the polls: the solidifying ideological consensus within each party's electoral coalition. Yet that trend toward greater unity within the parties, and the wider distance between them, is bounded by the public's stubborn refusal, on many fronts, to accept the either/or choices that the two sides usually present them. On immigration, a substantial majority supported a pathway to citizenship for at least some of the country's estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants; but majorities also endorsed the tough measures approved by Arizona and other states to find and apprehend people here illegally. Big majorities back both the increased domestic energy production championed most loudly by Republicans as well as the clean-energy mandates that the president and most Democrats support. The public's instinct toward both/and solutions inverts the inclination of a political system in which each party now often seems more impassioned about blocking the other side's priorities than advancing its own.
In the tables that follow, we recap the results from 22 Congressional Connection surveys from January 2012 through January 2013 that examined public attitudes on the key questions under debate in Congress. In each survey, the United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International, questioned about 1,000 adults, with a margin of error of around 3.7 percentage points.
Over the past year, the poll has tracked public attitudes on the deficit and debt more than on any other issue. The results showed striking consistency—and leave elected officials facing a conundrum.
Asked in February 2012 to identify the principal cause of the nation's deficit, more than two-thirds of respondents picked explanations that Democrats usually promote: either that the wealthy don't pay enough in taxes (46 percent) or that government spends too much on defense (24 percent). Just 14 percent identified as the main problem too much government spending on the poor, while only 3 percent selected growing government spending on the elderly—an answer that many nonpartisan analysts might place near the top. The partisan divide on this question was substantial (almost one in three Republicans identified spending on the poor as the principal problem, compared with only one in 50 Democrats), but even nearly one-third of Republicans pointed toward insufficient taxes on the wealthy. "That's a real shift—the sense that the rich are not paying their fair share," says Democratic pollster Guy Molyneux.
Given those findings, it isn't surprising that taxing the wealthy and reducing defense spending were consistently the most popular ideas for controlling the deficit. Majorities (and often preponderant majorities) of those surveyed backed raising tax rates on families earning at least $250,000, limiting their tax deductions, and establishing a minimum tax for millionaires (the so-called Buffett Rule promoted by Obama). Still, even this impulse was bounded: A slight plurality of those polled last December said that, to spur investment and growth, Washington should continue to tax capital gains and dividends at a lower rate than wages, an approach that primarily benefits affluent households.

I have a repetitive task everyday, where I have to go through a lot of documents grabbing information. Then the information gets put into an email along with headers (that are usually the same ones day after day), and sent out. I've been using Notepad++ (and a lot of copying, pasting, and typing) for this, but I came up with an idea for a small program that would actually help streamline the task quite a bit. I tried to come up with as detailed a description of it as I could:
I. The GUI
A. Textbox - The main part of the GUI should be a simple textbox. It should allow for typing, copying, pasting, etc. but no special formatting options or anything are needed. (Unicode support for the whole program would be a big plus though as it is possible I'll need to use this with Japanese text at some point.)
B. Above the textbox.
1. A persistent dropdown list for headers. (This should initially be empty when the program is first run).
2. A button to add whatever is selected in the textbox to the dropdown list.
3. A button to paste the selected header from the dropdown list at the cursor position in the textbox.
4. A button to delete the currently selected header from the dropdown list.
5. Not necessary at this point, but a way to switch header lists for different projects would probably be a good idea.
C. Below the textbox.
1. A button to clear the contents of the textbox. (Should confirm first, in case of accidental clicks).
II. Global Hotkeys - The program should set the following global hotkeys while it is running.
A. Win+Ctrl+C - Copy selected text from active program, and paste at the cursor position in the textbox.
B. Win+Ctrl+V - Paste entire contents of the textbox at the cursor position of the active program.
I think someone who is more adept than I am at AutoHotkey would probably be able to code this without too much of a problem.

International cooperation sees arrest of Colombian INTERPOL Red Notice suspect
March 2012
QUITO, Ecuador – One of Colombia's most wanted suspected drugs criminals and the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice for internationally wanted persons has been arrested in Ecuador following close collaboration between INTERPOL's National Central Bureaus (NCBs) in Bogota and Quito.
The brother of two of Colombia's most wanted criminals, both the subject of INTERPOL blue notices – a request to locate and obtain information on a person of interest in a criminal investigation – Juan Carlos Calle Serna had been the subject of police surveillance in Ecuador for months. His arrest on March 16 came just days after INTERPOL Bogota published an INTERPOL Red Notice, the international police tool which gave Ecuadorian police authorities the go-ahead to arrest and deport the fugitive.
The INTERPOL NCBs in Colombia and Ecuador had been investigating Calle Serna since early 2011 as part of a joint investigation into the Colombian drug-trafficking organization "Rastrojos". The fugitive had fled his native Colombia in 2007 to live in exile in Ecuador from where he is thought to have directed the crime group's criminal activities worldwide.
"The arrest of one of Colombia's most wanted fugitives is testimony to the power of international police cooperation in bringing criminals to justice, no matter where they try to hide," said Mrs Juliette Kure Parra, Head of INTERPOL Bogota.
Investigations conducted by INTERPOL Bogota and Quito revealed that Calle Serna ― alias "Armando" ― may have developed strategic alliances with other South American criminal syndicates, laundering money through front companies in the cities of Quito and Guayaquil and organizing cocaine production and smuggling from Bolivia to Colombia and Ecuador, using Peru as a transit area.
"The arrest of this suspected key drugs figure after five years on the run is testimony to the dedication and tenacity of the law enforcement officers in both countries, who ensured that this fugitive's crimes and victims were not forgotten," said Manuel Bonifaz Garcia, Head INTERPOL Quito.
The 41-year old suspect will now serve a 60-month prison sentence for skipping bail in 2010, and faces further prison sentences for charges of arms trafficking, criminal conspiracy, fraud, kidnapping, money laundering, murder and serious drug offences.

Elvis Presley has been overtaken by Michael Jackson in Forbes Magazine's annual list of top earning dead celebrities.
Elvis Presley performed for 14,000 fans at Russwood Park in Memphis the night of July 4, 1956. The big charity event included a speech by Mississippi Senator James O. Eastland and the annual picnic. The marathon show featured over 100 performers and lasted more than three hours. Elvis topped off the revue with a half-hour stint in the spotlight.
Michael Jackson, left, and unidentified dancer perform during Wednesday, March 2, 1988 Grammy Awards ceremony at New York's Radio City Music Hall. Jackson, whose album "Thriller" won eight Grammy in 1984, saw his follow-up LP, "Bad," win only one this time around, for best-produced non-classical recording.

The movie opened Thanksgiving Eve (Nov. 21, 1956) at Loew's State Theatre in Memphis. On Sunday January 6, 1957, Elvis would make his third and final appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. In between the football game and the Sullivan appearance, he reported for his pre-induction Army physical January 4th.

The meeting of former President Richard Nixon, left, and Elvis Presley on Dec. 21, 1970, in Washington. Former Nixon White House aide Egil "Bud" Krogh, who set up the meeting, has written a book about the meeting published in 1995. Presley appeared at the northwest gate of the White House at 11:45 for his meeting with the President. Krogh met Presley, Jerry Schilling and Sonny West and led them to the Oval Office reception area. At 12:30 Krogh and Presley joined the President in his office. Krogh was present throughout the meeting and made detailed notes of what was said. These notes were later summarized in a memorandum.
Michael Jackson stands with President and Nancy Reagan May 14, 1984 on the south lawn of the White House prior to receiving an award from the president for his contribution to the drunk driving awareness program.
Elvis Presley performs what would be his last Memphis concert July 5, 1976 before a crowd of 12,000 at Mid-South Coliseum. Exactly twenty-two years earlier (7/5/54), Elvis recorded "That's All Right" at Sam Phillips' little studio at 706 Union. Introducing the song, he said: "I've had some people say - well, you can't do that song anymore - well, you, by God, just watch me."

Hi Michael,
I just returned from the Asbury Cemetery in Cinnaminson, Nj and have uploaded pictures of Lydia, Samuel and Susan Severns to the Find A Grave pages. I know you did not request these photos so you would not get a notification e-mail stating they were posted. I hope you enjoy them and find some valuable information.

Studebaker burials in Rock Chapel Cemetery
15 August 2013
Dear Michael,
Leaving a public message seems a whole lot easier than wading through your many genealogical involvements to reach you directly. Regarding Rock Chapel in Adams County: note that all of the Studebaker / Studebecker burials are family members of Peter "G" Studebaker. Please note the middle initial "G" which differentiates him from other Peter Studebakers in Adams and York counties. Much of the research of earlier genealogists of Peter G., as published in "The Studebaker Family in America, 1976" is incorrect and incomplete. But it provided the basis of my research to, hopefully, "set the record straight." Can share selected data via GEDCOM for Find A Grave if receptive.

RE: Frank S. Rowland
You had the section they were in and I happened to stumble accross them. The cemetery is quite large and is terraced around the valley it is in. To find a request without a section is like finding a needle in a haystack and the office people aren't very helpful unless you are related.

RE: Alice S. Taughenbaugh
Sorry for not repling sooner. Was hoping for a bad winter to get back on this site. I most likely put Alice in the wrong cemetery as my cousin was helping me with photo's and forgot to write down cemetery names. I'm in the process of re-visiting the cemeteries we did and making any corrections I need to make. I do have a great aunt Alice S. (Taughenbaugh) Lakin, but she's buried in Harrisburg. I will see where my mistake is and make the corrections. Thanks for letting me know about the error. If I do find another Alice in the Adams County area cemeteries I'll move her name into the correct cemetery.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
For me this disc is a perplexer. In calm conditions it's the Fuse- does anything you ask w tons o' glide. In the wind it's the conFuse: But that's probably my fault (bad form etc...)
Views: 75
@ Nichols
You should throw more before you post!
I will totally agree to that. Throwing the Fuse in a field, I thought what the hell? I had a hard time visualizing using a disc that turned over So Much. But, out on the course, it ended up being the most accurate disc of the day. Helped me with some Anny holes I struggle with, and because of all the field practice, I knew where I could put it. It will stay in the bag. :)
Maybe another thought on the Fuse since I have put in more than twenty rounds with it by now. El K makes a great point in that this is really a finesse disc, or more that it really shines as a finesse disc. It can be pounded for all the distance you can get out of it, but you might not like the line you have to take to achieve that.
Much like the River (another misunderstood mold at times) you are so thankfully at the mercy of what this disc has to offer. A throw of about 70% to 20% is going to turnover when thrown flat. Any anhyzer applied means the disc isn't going to fade back on you without some real height on it. The turnover line is smooth, true, and can be gauged by how hard you throw it, and your arm remembers because it loves to throw this disc. On higher power shots, a nice hyzer flip, and the disc is forgiving, it will flip up and run straight.
For me, the Fuse has bridged that gap between my putter and my Roc. It also feels so familiar that I am starting to pull my Pain from the bag more often and I'm working to close the gap between the River and my Rocs.

This story was updated at 1:15 p.m. March 6, 2013.
The winter storm moving across the Mid-Atlantic region may not have looked like much early Wednesday morning, but agencies are bracing for the possibility of worsening conditions later in the day.
Many area government offices and schools shut down Wednesday morning in anticipation of the storm.
Kellie Boulware, spokeswoman for the Maryland State Highway Administration, said the roads were relatively quiet early, although traffic was starting to pick up by about 9 a.m.
"Thankfully, we haven't seen any major incidents thus far," she said.
In Montgomery, Frederick and Prince George's counties, public schools canceled classes as the storm moved into the region. Having schools and many local government agencies closed gave crews more time to get out and do some extra salting, Boulware said.
"I think a lot of folks heeded the warnings from a lot of area agencies ... to stay put," she said.
Hopefully, she said, many people will stay home as the second wave of storms moves through in the afternoon.
A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for Prince George's, Frederick and Montgomery counties until 3 a.m. Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
At mid-day, the storm had not yet affected power in most of Montgomery County. There were a few outages in Silver Spring and about 128 Pepco customers in Chevy Chase without power, but service throughout the rest of the county was holding steady.
As of 1 p.m. Wednesday, eight power outages across Pepco's coverage area had left about 200 customers without power, spokeswoman Myra Oppel said.
"We have enough crews that they're dispatching immediately when these (outages) occur," Oppel said. She did not know how long it would take to restore power.
The snowstorm brought 2 to 4 inches of snow to Frederick County Tuesday night, with an additional 4 to 8 inches expected Wednesday, according to Calvin Meadows, a meteorological technician with the National Weather Service.
Temperatures are expected to stay in the low to mid 30s today, with wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour, according to NWS reports. The snow is expected to taper off before midnight Wednesday, mixing over to rain after 1 a.m. Thursday. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid to low 30s overnight Wednesday.
Service on the Brunswick Line of the MARC train was suspended Wednesday due to the weather conditions and a lack of available crews, according to a Maryland Transit Administration news release. Metrorail had 65,000 riders as of 10 a.m. Wednesday — well below the 268,000 riders at the same time last week, according to a tweet from WMATA.
Gaithersburg Public Works Director Jim Arnoult said he is most worried about slush accumulating on the roads.
"We haven't been plowing yet, but we are salting," he said Wednesday morning.
So far, the snow has melted enough that it hasn't overwhelmed efforts to keep the roads clear. Arnoult said the snow management team is in "full force," and they have not yet received any requests for additional help from neighboring cities.
Daryl Braithwaite, public works director for Takoma Park, said Wednesday morning that the city had fallen more on the rain side of the storm.
As of about 9:15 a.m., there was "a sheet of slushy mush" that could make sidewalks "a little bit treacherous" for walking, she said. The roads seemed fine for cars, and she hadn't seen much traffic, Braithwaite said.
The city canceled trash and recycling collection so sanitation drivers would be available to help plow streets, she said.
Montgomery County Fire and Rescue officials have been coordinating closely with utility and road crews, increased staffing, positioned all available equipment and resources around the County to cope with the Snowquester, according to an advisory the department put out this morning. Montgomery County fire officials asked residents to stay make sure their phones and other devices were fully charged, and stay off of the roads as much as possible.
Fire officials had several other storm tips, among them, asking residents to make sure they had emergency preparedness kits ready, to use caution around downed or damaged power lines, to avoid using candles to light houses in the event of power outages, and to only call 911 during emergencies. If you need help but it is not a critical emergency, fire officials reminded residents to call 311 instead.
Fire Chief Richard Bowers is asking residents to help firefighters and clear snow away from fire hydrants, according to the advisory. "The expected snow accumulations combined with the after-effects of plowing roads may result in many fire hydrants partially or completely buried in snow. By keeping fire hydrants clear of snow, residents can help firefighters to easily locate hydrants and access water quickly, preserving valuable time to potentially save lives and structures," the advisory said.
Additionally, officials warned residents not to overdo it shoveling snow, which can be strenuous and potentially dangerous to your health. Fire officials reminded residents to limit shoveling to only a few minutes at a time, shovel smaller amounts and take frequent breaks.
As of 8 a.m. Wednesday, the call volume for Prince George's fire and EMS department was below average and "very, very quiet," said Mark Brady, chief spokesman for the county fire and EMS department. One vehicle collision was reported on the Capital Beltway's inner loop near Annapolis Road, but there were no injuries, he said.
Emergency operators in Frederick County had not handled many calls early Wednesday morning, said Chip Jewell, head of emergency communications in Frederick County's Emergency Management Division.
"We've had just a normal amount of calls," he said. "Things may pick up a bit in the afternoon."
Troopers from the Maryland State Police's barrack in Frederick had responded to only one minor accident by Wednesday morning, according to barrack commander Lt. Todd May.
State police put a snow emergency plan into effect for the county at 3:40 a.m. Wednesday morning, requiring motorists to only operate vehicles equipped with snow tires or chains, and designating major area roads as snow-emergency routes.
Pepco requested assistance from Alabama and Georgia crews to help with possible power outages as the storm moves through the area, according to a Tuesday news release.
"One of the things we're looking out for is the possibility, as has been predicted, of heavy, wet snow coupled with winds," spokesman Dan Riedinger said. "(That) puts more weight on tree limbs, with the wind striking them as well."
The tree limbs could fall on power lines, he said, leading to power outages.
Todd Myers, spokesman for Potomac Edison, said regular staff crews are patrolling the streets in Frederick County, and additional crews from out-of-state were on standby in case power outages increase.
The county had 19 power outages as of 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, with more expected later in the day, Myers said.
"I do anticipate that there will be [more] outages as the day wears on," he said. "What we have been seeing is wet heavy snow, and over the course of the day, that can cause the branches to break. You get those conditions, and unfortunately, you are going to have some outages."
Despite the ugly weather, some stores and restaurants tried to conduct business as usual, although some saw a drop in customers.
Life in downtown Bethesda went on, albeit at a slower pace.
At Kraze Burgers on Elm Street, employee Sean Wood said business was very slow.
"We've probably done a third of what we normally do," Wood said. Still, there were no plans to close early.
The Kensington Town Hall stayed open Wednesday. Sanford Daily, the town manager, said he was taking routine precautions, such as making sure sure the town's three trucks were full of salt and ready to go.
Capital City Cheesecake in Takoma Park opened its doors to some of its regular customers around 7:30 Wednesday morning and officially opened about an hour later. Co-owner Meaghan Murphy said the cafe and bakery was seeing groups of people who were out and about while the weather still allowed it. Murphy said they will be open "as long as the snow allows us to be open."
In Rockville, most stores in Town Square and Congressional Plaza were open, although some closed due to weather. Westfield Wheaton and Westfield Montgomery shopping malls were both open, according to posts on Facebook.
Midas, in Gaithersburg was also open. The store had opened at its usual hour, and was seeing less customers because of the nasty weather. "We may be closing early ... we're just going to play it by ear," said Shane Ross, a manager.
The Original Pancake House in Bethesda was open, operating on standard business hours.
An employee at the Pancake house said the restaurant had a plan in place to help employees get to work in the snowy weather.
"If they can't get in I'll pick them up," Manager Drew Babich told The Gazette. "They've been with me for years."
Most of his employees had gotten to work without incident he said, but he had brought one server in to work with him and would take another one home when work ended.
It was standard practice for nasty weather events, he said.
"One way or another, I'll get them home."

ETSU women finish third, Muehl second at Barefoot

Click here for third and final round results
Wednesday, March 09, 2011
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C (March 8, 2011)
- Senior
Nina Muehl
(Vienna, Austria) wrapped up her second straight impressive showing and junior
Mayte Vizcarrondo
(Cadiz, Spain) posted a team-best round of 1-under-par 71, as the ETSU women's golf team wrapped up play in the Barefoot at the Beach Invitational Tuesday with a third-place team effort at the Davis Love Course at the Barefoot Resort.
Muehl, who carded a two-over 74 and finished the tournament at 1-over-par 217, finished second on the individual leaderboard as East Carolina's Fanny Wolte bested her by three strokes. As a team, the Buccaneers finished alone in third place, behind winning team East Carolina and second place Wisconsin.
ETSU finished ahead of teams such as host College of Charleston, Georgetown, Appalachian State, Marshall, Old Dominion, and Illinois State.
"I was very happy with our team effort this week," said ETSU head coach
Stefanie Shelton
. "We played consistent throughout most of our lineup, and posted a very nice finish. Nina just continues to play well, and Mayte really looked good out there today. And our freshmen continue to provide us with quality rounds."
Indeed, along with Muehl and Vizcarrondo, freshmen
Sian Evans
(Gillingham, England) and
Larissa Steinfeldt
(Eschweiller, Germany) were equally impressive. Evans posted the team's second best individual showing, as she tied for 14
, while both Steinfeldt and Vizcarrondo tied for 16
The Bucs will return to action March 21
in the John Kirk Panther Intercollegiate hosted by Georgia State in Atlanta, Ga.

I get it. Sometimes we all want to yell at Mario Chalmers. He's the annoying little brother who means well, but doesn't think and often makes things worse. He's eminently shoveable. Little kids practice endless jumpers in their driveways, dreaming that someday they'll make the NBA and be able to push Chalmers around a bit.
The Heat were down double-digits in the third quarter of a crucial (as crucial as a basketball game in December can be, anyway) match-up against the Pacers, and a defensive lapse gave Paul George an open three. It was apparently Chalmers's fault, because at the next stoppage, LeBron James snapped, bolted out of his seat, and had to be pulled away from Chalmers.
It's not an uncommon sight—James is a coach on the floor, and Chalmers at times is in desperate need of coaching. And whatever the dynamic in the locker room, it's one where James feels comfortable yelling at Chalmers, and Chalmers doesn't mind being yelled at. A few minutes later, cameras captured James apologizing to his teammate:
James apologized again at the podium after the game—a comeback 97-94 win for Miami to move them one game back of Indiana for home-court advantage in their inevitable conference final showdown—saying, "I was wrong, I told him that and we moved forward." Then the two continued to hug it out on Twitter:
I love @mchalmers15 like a blood brother! I was wrong and apologized to him! We good and will always be good. I ride wit him any & every day
— LeBron James (@KingJames) December 19, 2013
All good big bro @KingJames. At the end of the day we brothas and nothin gonna change that
— Mario Chalmers (@mchalmers15) December 19, 2013
Heartwarming. Or maybe an abusive relationship. One of the two!

Frederick County's Urbana and nearby Damascus in Montgomery County are two high schools rich in football history.
Fittingly, when the schools' boys basketball teams faced each other in Thursday's Class 3A West Region quarterfinal round, they engaged in what Urbana coach John Cooper described as football on the hardwood.
"It just turns into a bump and grind game," Cooper said. "When we were set in our defense, they couldn't score. When they were set in their defense, we couldn't score. It was just bump and grind."
When he looked at the region before last week's start to the tournament, Cooper added, Damascus was the one team he did not want to see on the third-seeded Hawks' half of the draw. The matchup, with Damascus' size and physicality, Cooper said, is a tough one.
But Urbana, the 2010 region champion, brushed the Swarmin' Hornets aside Thursday, 55-41. The Hawks (19-4) will host Albert Einstein on Tuesday at 7 p.m. for a spot in the regional final.
Urbana was able to use Damascus' (11-11) size to its advantage Thursday. Using the speed of their guards, the Hawks pushed the ball up court quickly to score before Damascus could settle on defense.
"We got out and ran. They were a little slower getting down. ... We can sit down on defense and play with anyone," said quick-footed Urbana senior Darren Ambush, who tallied 10 points Thursday.
After a tightly contested first quarter, which ended with Urbana ahead, 13-10, the Hawks pulled away in the second quarter to end the half ahead 27-14, and Damascus never recovered.
Urbana was propelled by its transition scoring Thursday, but Ambush also split Damascus' defense well to create openings for the Hawks. And they took advantage. Six Urbana players scored six points or more: Brendan Wharton (13), Thomas Utt (13), Ambush (10), Devin Tiffany (six), Ian Eversull (six).
The Swarmin' Hornets' offense took a big hit when 3-point specialist Cade Woody showed up to Wednesday's practice with a fractured thumb. They were unable to get much going from the perimeter Thursday without him.
Damascus' typically strong inside game didn't pick up much of the slack, either. Leading scorer, 6-foot-3 Rashard Budd (12.6 points per game), finished with eight points.
Junior guard Connor Burke carried the Swarmin' Hornets on his shoulders Thursday. He led the team with 13 points and was the aggressor — he made his way to the free throw line 10 times and converted eight.
"[Woody] is our only shooter. Without him on offense ... [Urbana] just outhustled us. They had everything, big men, shooters. Their inside game hurt us," Burke said. "It was hard to see the seniors, to see them play their last game, I was just trying to give everything I had on the court. It was our last time playing together."
Several players on the floor Thursday are also football players who were there last fall when Urbana upset the top-seeded Swarmin' Hornets at Damascus in the first round of the Class 3A West Region tournament. The Hawks made sure Damascus didn't return the favor Thursday.
"This is a fine rivalry, the schools are close to each other, it's a fun rivalry. We have a lot of respect for Damascus, we know their tradition," Cooper said.
Urbana 55, Damascus 41
Damascus 10 4 11 16 — 41
Urbana 13 14 9 19 — 55
Damascus (11-11): Connor Burke 13, Rashard Budd 8, Cade Woody 7, Stephon Jacob 7, Deondre Jolley 4.
Urbana (19-4): Brendan Wharton 13, Thomas Utt 13, Darren Ambush 10, Ian Eversull 6, Devin Tiffany 6, Cole Burdette 4.

EPA stands ready to respond to incidents involving radioactive materials. We work closely with other federal and state and local agencies to protect the public from radiation exposure during emergencies ranging from incidents at nuclear power plants, to transportation accidents involving shipments of radioactive materials, to deliberate acts of nuclear terrorism.
Call 1-800-424-8802 to report a radiation emergency.
More information about reporting and the National Response Center.
Emergency response teams have primary responsibility for assessing and responding to radiation incidents. But you can prepare ahead of time to help protect yourself and your family in the event of any type of emergency by following the tips below.
On this page:
- Prepare an emergency kit
- Develop basic emergency skills
- Learn about the types of radiological emergencies and develop appropriate plans
- Join Citizen Corps
- Read further in Resources to help you prepare
Prepare or Purchase an Emergency Kit
Two federal web sites offer check lists for home and portable emergency kits:
These check lists cover items for you, your family, and your pets. A kids' version of this information is also available.

Develop Basic Emergency Skills
Be prepared by building skills in CPR, first aid, and other live-saving skills. Local chapters of the Red Cross offer courses in life-saving skills. Many local groups, such as hospitals, rescue squads, community colleges, and fire and police stations, also offer courses in basic first aid, CPR, and other life-saving skills.
Types of Radiation Emergencies and Appropriate Plans
Guides for developing personal and family plans are available on-line:
- Ready.gov offers a guidance on developing family plans for emergencies
