No timetable set for repair of Va. computer outage


Motor vehicles agency, two others still affected by week-long disruption


by Derek Kravitz A computer outage that has


wreaked havoc on Virginia state agencies entered its seventh day Wednesday, and officials ac- knowledged that the failure was more complicated than they origi- nally thought. Three state agencies — the board of elections and the depart- ments of motor vehicles and taxa- tion — are still experiencing ma- jor computer issues that are ham- pering their daily operations, said Marcella Williamson, a spokes- woman for the Virginia Informa- tion Technologies Agency, which oversees the state’s computer net- work.


Computers for 24 other affect-


ed agencies are operational, but a handful are experiencing “minor problems,” allowing them to con- duct business but “not as effi- ciently,” Williamson said. Those agencies include the departments of social services, environmental quality, juvenile justice, criminal justice services, professional and occupational regulation, and in- formation technologies. The damaged storage unit at the heart of the problem — a small piece of computer hardware housed in a massive state facility near Richmond — has been re- paired, but workers are now ver- ifying and restoring data, which officials called an “extremely time-consuming process.” State officials said the outage affected only 485 of the state’s 4,800 data servers but that fixes have taken longer than they expected. “This outage has not crippled


state government. It has created some challenges and the DMV outage has impacted citizens seeking drivers’ licenses, but the vast majority of state government computing functions are fully op- erational,” Williamson said. Northrop Grumman, the de- fense contractor that handles the $2.4 billion Virginia computer contract, said Tuesday that the company supports Gov. Robert F. McDonnell’s push for an inde- pendent probe of the computer failure and promised to learn from it. “We will conduct a root cause


analysis, carefully analyze and re- view the findings, develop lessons learned and make necessary changes,” said Sam Abbate, Nor- throp’s vice president for the state IT program. The outages have left many Vir- ginians unable to perform a vari- ety of routine services. Taxpayers have been unable to


file returns, make payments or register online through the state’s Department of Taxation. Account- specific information is unavail- able, including data about bills and refunds. “We are currently restoring and testing our systems and hope to be fully back online by Wednes- day morning,” said Joel Davison, a spokesman for the tax agency. The voter registration database


“We will conduct a root cause analysis . . . and make necessary


changes.” — Sam Abbate, Northrop Grumman’s vice president for the state IT program


at the Virginia State Board of Elections was still off-line Tues- day. State residents can still apply to register to vote, but those appli- cations will not be processed until the agency’s database is restored. All 74 Department of Motor Ve-


hicles service centers across the state have been unable to issue new or replacement driver’s li- censes or identification cards since last Wednesday afternoon. Melanie Stokes, a DMV spokes- woman, said licensing services would still be down Wednesday, and no timetable for their return has been set.


When the system goes back on- line, Stokes said, DMV officials are preparing for an influx of at least 32,000 Virginia residents who have been waiting to renew or get new licenses in person. Service centers will be fully staffed, additional part-time em- ployees are on standby, crowd control measures will be imple- mented and extended office hours are being considered, she said. Virginia State Police won’t take


any enforcement action for driv- er’s licenses that expire from Aug. 25 through Sept. 30, officials said. kravitzd@washpost.com

Marine Sgt. Maj. Eric J. Stockton presents an American flag to Wendy Childers during the service at Arlington National Cemetery for her son Lance Cpl. Cody S. Childers, who was killed in Afghanistan.


A cheerful patriot laid to rest


Afghan war casualty always wanted to be a Marine, family says


by Kafia A. Hosh Cody S. Childers, a Marine


from Chesapeake, Va., was laid to rest under clear blue skies Tues- day, a stark contrast to the som- ber mood at Arlington National Cemetery. The 19-year-old lance corporal was killed Aug. 20 while


852 Anne Arundel County


serving in Afghanistan’s Hel- mand province. At the cemetery, a horse-drawn caisson carried Childers’s coffin, wrapped in an American flag, to the burial site, with about three dozen friends and family mem- bers walking behind. His parents, Randy and Wendy Childers, hold- ing hands, led the group. Childers’s family sat beneath the shade of a tree on chairs wrapped in forest-green cloth. A soft breeze rippled the leaves overhead as his sister Cassidy Childers wiped away tears. Childers was described by rela- tives as outgoing and cheerful, and they said he always wanted to be a Marine. The graduate of Grassfield High School in Chesa- peake deployed about two months ago from Camp Lejeune. In Afghanistan, Childers was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, 2nd Marine Expedition- ary Force. He managed to escape death about a month ago when he was caught in a roadside bomb


blast, family members said. The explosion caused a concussion, a dislocated shoulder and shrapnel wounds, according to the Vir- ginian-Pilot. This time, family members


said, Childers was struck by en- emy gunfire. “Our hearts are broken. He’ll be so missed,” his grandmother Peggy Ewell said in an interview with The Washington Post. Childers’s aunt Jayme Monta- gue told the Virginian-Pilot that Childers “died because he loved his country and he wanted to make a difference.” The Marine honor guard fold- ed the flag, and one of the Ma- rines carefully placed it in Wendy Childers’s arms. The honor guard fired a three-volley salute, and a Marine bugler played taps. After the funeral, Ryan Chil- ders knelt over his brother’s cas- ket to say goodbye. A minute or so later, his grandfather Wade Ewell knelt beside him, wrapping his arm around him.

Marine killed by bomb is buried at Arlington


marine from B1


man who helped out with chores around the house. Rodriguez worked at a movie theater during high school to help his family in- stead of playing high school sports, Morales said. When he was stationed at Ma- rine Corps Base Quantico, he lived in Stafford County. Hugh Beckford, a former neighbor, said Rodriguez was quiet. “The most important thing for him was family,” he said in an earlier report.


Rodriguez, a field artillery cannoneer, was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 11th Marine Regi- ment, 1st Marine Division, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force based at Camp Pendleton, Calif. His military awards included a


Purple Heart, the Navy and Ma- rine Corps Achievement Medal and the Navy Presidential Unit Citation, among others. Rodri- guez also became a U.S. citizen


during his years of service. “He had a lot of friends. He


was very likable. The guy was dil- igent and hardworking, too,” Mo- rales said. “He was kind of a bad person to lose all around.” In addition to Diego, Angel and his father, Rodriguez is sur- vived by his mother, Maria; three brothers; and his girlfriend, Ye- senia Mendoza. The small hands of his sons were lost in those of Sgt. Maj. Er- ic J. Stockton as he shook them and offered his condolences after the flag presentations.


Rodriguez was the third Ma- rine from Operation Enduring Freedom to be buried in Arling- ton on Tuesday. There are 630 service members from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation En- during Freedom in Arlington Na- tional Cemetery. goodmanc@washpost.com
