Good Morning,

A coalition is calling for the government to give Americans access to reports that cost taxpayers more than US$100 million a year to fund. The coalition of media, consumer, open government, library, labor, and advocacy groups are urging the federal government to make Congressional Research Service records available on the Internet.

Also the Netsky family of worms had the biggest impact on the Net in March, according to security company Sophos. While new malware threats littered the Internet last month, it was a three-year-old worm that caused the most trouble.
