More Snow

The DFW area started getting snow late yesterday afternoon and on into the evening hours.  The wind howled all day, bring temperatures down in a hurry.  They kept howling all night and are still howling this morning, with no signs of letting up anytime soon.  I've had my heater turned up to keep warm.   This picture is taken from my apartment window and that is my car below.

Volcano in Iceland

A volcano erupted near a glacier in southern Iceland, shooting ash and molten lava into the air and forcing the evacuation Sunday of hundreds of people from nearby villages. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage but a state of emergency was declared and scientists feared the eruption could trigger a larger and potentially more dangerous eruption at the Katla volcano.  They are concerned that it could trigger an eruption at the nearby Katla volcano, a vicious volcano that could cause both local and global damage. 
Authorities evacuated 450 people between the farming village of Hvolsvollur and the fishing village of Vik, some 100 miles southeast of the capital, Reykjavik.  Evacuation centers were set up near the town of Hella. The most immediate threat was to livestock because of the caustic gases.

Haiti Gets Heavy Rains........

One of the heaviest rainfalls since Haiti's Jan. 12 earthquake swamped homeless camps Friday, sweeping screaming residents into eddies of water, overflowing latrines and panicking thousands.
The overnight downpour sent water coursing down the slopes of a former golf course that now serves as a temporary home for about 45,000 people.

Security

 There's always been a need for safety and security in our daily lives.  We get too lax and forget that there are dangers in our world, waiting to attack us at any moment.  There's a great need for wireless security systems to be installed where mass groups of people interact or commute.  Apartments have them and many department stores as well as shopping malls have the security systems in place.  Feeling more safe, is what we are wanting these days, with all the terrorist groups running rampant.

Fake Cards .......

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement shows evidence of fake test scores and California identification cards after they were confiscated from a California man who was charged Monday with operating a ring of illegal test-takers who helped dozens of Middle Eastern nationals obtain U.S. student visas by passing various proficiency and college-placement exams for them, federal authorities said.
