When the twin towers fell, the two buildings that had once been admired for
their endless structural and architectural complexity suddenly became a
heartbreaking mass grave, a symbol of terrorism's reach, and - at a coldly
physical level - 1.2 million tons of tangled debris.

CRANSTON -- City land records have entered the computer age and are heading,
eventually, to the Internet.
A new computer archiving system in the land records room in City Hall allows
electronic searches for records, and will bring up instant digital images of
property documents such as deeds, mortgages and easements, according to Mayor
John O'Leary and City Clerk Maria M. Wall.

$5.2 million is cranking up again in U.S. District Court.

Robert Jaworski huddled with assistants in his Pentagon office, anguishing
over a schedule of funerals for 34 of his employees. The big white calendar
on the wall was filling fast, and Friday was a particular concern.
"There's one at Fort Belvoir at 10, another one at a different chapel at
Belvoir at 11, there's an 11:30 in Dumfries, there's an 11 in Manassas," he
said. In the afternoon, there were two more, one of them in Georgia. Most had
been Jaworski's colleagues for years.

<BR>
<BR>by Bob Sullivan
<BR>A computer security researcher known for discovering serious leaks of private information at major U.S. companies has found one at Microsoft Corp.'s Web site. The researcher showed MSNBC.com several screen shots he had taken revealing Microsoft customer addresses, phone numbers, and what they ordered. Microsoft admitted the exposure and said it had immediately corrected the problem.

<BR>Microsoft moved swiftly this week to close a security gap in its customer service Web site that let anyone with a browser view customers' sales records and other confidential information.
<BR>The software giant had left a search database exposed without security protections. The address of the customer service page was unpublished, but by altering the numerical IP (Internet Protocol) addresses of known Microsoft Web sites, a security enthusiast located it and found himself with access to an unknown number of customer service records.

<BR>HB/svu BERLIN. The German government plans to close tax loopholes in the medium term before going on to reexamine the country's law on banking confidentiality, the parliamentary state secretary to the finance ministry, Barbara Hendricks (SPD), told parliament on Wednesday.
<BR>Hendricks said that the law governing bank secrecy did not have to be amended provided the Bundestag, or lower house of parliament, approved the planned measures to combat money laundering.

<BR>The Boise City Council voted Tuesday to prevent the city's community ombudsman from releasing interviews of witnesses and police officers.
<BR>The Council voted unanimously to make such records part of a police officer's personnel file and therefore confidential under Idaho's public records law.

<BR>Safety in sharing
<BR>As the investigation of the terrorist attacks continues, government agencies strive to share information

<BR>
<BR>by Rick Whiting and Eric Chadbrow
<BR>When Tom Ridge steps in as the country's new security czar this week, he'll bring a reputation for understanding the role that IT plays in collaboration among government agencies. That experience could prove crucial because the war on terrorism will depend heavily on improved data sharing among federal and state agencies not accustomed to working together so closely. It's an IT challenge that has urgent implications.

<BR>OBU library a treasure trove

<BR>by Sarah Shepherd
<BR>For many people, the halls of Riley-Hickingbotham Library at Ouachita Baptist University are more than avenues that lead to great book discoveries or a convenient place to study and read. Rather, the library is viewed as a place of research that is host to a treasure trove of important documents.
<BR>For more than 20 years, the library has acquired by donation a Special Collections section where Wendy Richter, archivist, is responsible for preserving unique material which documents a wide latitude of life in the United States and particularly in and around the region surrounding the university.

<BR>Records: What do you keep? And where do you keep them?
<BR>Such questions loom large these days. Families and businesses directly touched by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are now sorting through a multitude of documents -- from insurance policies to wills to the contents of safe-deposit boxes -- trying to rebuild lives as well as shuttered operations. It is a reminder of the relevance of the otherwise toilsome chore of properly corralling financial and life records.
