Baltimore Sun: "Ever feel like you're gambling when you don't feed the parking meter or race through that just-turned-red light?

SCHOOL CAFETERIAS COUNTING CALORIES
Gazette: " The lunch menu at Rolling Terrace Elementary School in Takoma Park on March 1 featured either a whole grain soft taco with corn or a hot dog with baked beans.

Businesses in a building in the unit block of Old Solomons Island Road had been experiencing break-ins, so one business owner installed a motion-activated video surveillance system hidden in a flower pot outside the office door."
