The difference is its much more stable. Its a combustible liquid instead of flammable and that doesnt cause some of the volatility issues that we would have with gasoline. Slippery . Yes it is. Is that big concern out here . Well, it certainly can burn. The temperatures are out today and it makes it more difficult to ignite. So its a very slim possibility if you have an ips dent like that. Well its not something they want people driving over. Thats why the cleanup, most of the spill was in the area where you see the work crews right now. What theyve been doing is putting down absorbent and trying to stop up as much of it as they can. That process will wrap up at some point fairly soon and theyre going to get all four lanes open.

Responding to the revelation that while she was secretary of state, she used a private email address for all of her government business. And that account was run from a personal email server at her home. When i got there, i wanted to just use one device for both personal and work emails instead of two. It was allowed. It was for convenience. And it was my practice to communicate with state department and other government officials on their dotgov accounts so those emails would be automatically saved.

Alison death with dignity bills are pending in dozens of states today. It was the subject of emotional discussion here in annapolis. A. L. Svm has robbed him of the ability to write, walk or speak on his own. Former Baltimore Raven o. J. Came to annapolis to fight against death with dignity.

But supporters argue this is not assisted suicide, not mercy killing nor euthanasia but means of ending a life when an individual finds illness has made it unbearable. I think the individual should have that personal choice if they choose to. No one else can judge their pain and suffering. Among those here physicians whose own experiences who prompted them to speak out in favor of this legislation.

Supporters of this bill say a poll of marylanders found about 60 support it. Reporting live from annapolis, stephen tschida, abc 7 news. Thanks. It looked like an act of vandalism.

Specialty drugs are advanced medications that treat complex or chronic conditions like hepatitis c and m. S. And thats it for abc 7 news at 5 00. All right. Now at 6 00 clearing a traffic mess and a massive effort to right an overturned tanker truck and the fight to reopen i95. Plus plus the laws and regulations that were in effect allowed me to use my email for work. That is undisputed.

His reaction as abc 7 news at 6 00 starts right now.
