Wordsmith Declares 'Spillcam' Top Word of 2010
By David Moye - AOL News
(Nov. 15) -- There are still six weeks left in 2010, but word has it, the word of the year has already been chosen: "spillcam." That's the final word from Paul JJ Payack, president of The Global Language Monitor, a group that tracks word usage trends worldwide. "We search millions of websites and more than 75,000 print and radio outlets looking for global English terms that stuck out during the year," Payack told AOL News.

Another Winter Storm Heads Toward East Coast
By Paul Yeager - AOL News(Feb. 13) -- Don't look now, but another winter storm is on its way to the Middle Atlantic and the Northeast for the beginning of next week. Fortunately for residents still struggling to resume normal life after the recent back-to-back massive snowstorms, it's unlikely to be the same kind of monster snowfall that these regions have become accustomed to -- even though the overall weather pattern bears some important similarities.

Snowpocalypse: This Column Has a Snow Day
By David Corn - Politics DailySnowpocalypse was fun -- that is, until our power went out and the heat vanished. That was two days ago. So I've been contending with the basics of survival: food and shelter. In between all that, I've been shoveling tons of snow. Our neighborhood was placed low on the priority list for Pepco, the power company. I guess we just don't have political pull. (Rep. Chris Van Hollen, don't count on this precinct next time.) And more snow is predicted for Tuesday night. A few years ago, a Pepco service guy -- a contractor -- complained to me that the utility had shed itself of many of its in-house ...
'Snowmageddon' in D.C. -- The Politics, Talk Shows and Snowball Fights Go On
By Annie Groer - Politics DailySome time around 5 pm Saturday it stopped snowing, more than 30 hours after the first flakes had fallen. Within minutes the world was transformed. I was no longer slogging through a cyclonic snow globe where everyone around me was downright giddy. I was, just before twilight, alone and looking up at a clear blue sky, the horizon slashed by orange streaks of winter sunset. Today, with the entire area still in a snow emergency, the High Def sunny, icy whiteness all around me cannot conceal some truly bad news. The two to three feet of snow in the suburbs, and a near-record 18 inches in ...
