Copper downspouts vanished from the side of a house, causing its basement to flood. Later, someone was spotted pulling the gutters off another residence. In all, thieves hit about 15 homes, police say, making off with a commodity that is more popular than ever on the black market: used copper.

County and club owners over increasing violence at late-night venues. Representatives of D.C.’s go-go community went to Maryland to try to mediate—and offered some ideas for how to help: “Speakers offered suggestions such as requiring people in clubs who get in fights to attend peace training, copying the IDs of troublemakers, and establishing security standards.” What in the hell is “peace training”? These people seem to have made a profession out of it. I’m afraid we’ve finally gone too far. garoldstone Wed, 30 May 2007 00:00:56 GMT http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/30/AR2007053002313.html A coalition of go-go artists and community activists came together yesterday to begin an initiative to stem violence in and around area nightclubs.

Way up. Say you are driving 78 mph on the Capital Beltway and a state trooper tickets you for "reckless driving -- speeding 20 mph over." You will probably be fined $200 by the judge. But then you will receive a new, additional $1,050 fine from the Old Dominion, payable in three convenient installments. So convenient that you must pay the first one immediately, at the courthouse.

They said the deal had been put together hastily, left unanswered questions about hospital assets and did not provide a comprehensive, long-term solution for the hospital's problems. "We believe this was a bigger Band-Aid, and we will not be supportive of those efforts," Exum said. garoldstone Thu, 12 Apr 2007 13:37:47 GMT http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2007/261/ Eric Fidler has overlaid three proposed Metro lines (Purple, Silver and extended Green) onto the traditional WMATA metro map that we’ve all learned to know and love.

But to the disappointment of many nearby residents, the board did not suspend the club’s liquor license. The club has been closed since Feb. 8 for not having a valid use and occupancy permit.
