Teenager nabbed for old woman's murder
The police had been looking for drug addicts of the similar age groups in the vicinity for the past two days, and the recovery of the empty vials and used condoms led the police to the accused. While addressing mediapersons the DSP (Central), Mr S.S. Randhawa, said the accused was arrested from the Sector 15 market while he was returning from a stationery shop after buying the white fluid. He was produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate and was later sent to the Sector 15 Juvenile Home. During the preliminary questioning, he revealed the names of two other accomplices aged between 18 and 19 years, who were also drug addicts. According to the DSP, the boy said they had planned the entire episode and were waiting for an opportunity to strike. On August 31, they entered into the victim's house at around 9 pm and committed the crime.
Bullied 8th-grader was beaten, called a Nazi
School districts tell us they have a "zero tolerance" policy on this kind of garbage. For those of us who don't have the luxury of sending our kids to a private school - or are ideologically in support of public schools - this is a serious matter. .
Fire near Inner Harbor quickly extinguished
A fire this morning in a downtown Baltimore building near the Inner Harbor was confined to an air-conditioning unit on top of the six-story structure and was quickly extinguished, according to a spokesman for the city Fire Department.
The fire was out by 11 a.m. but Light Street between Lombard and Baltimore streets remained closed for the four fire engines that responded to 26 Light St. Black smoke was visible from as far away as Interstate 83 and North Avenue.
Chief Kevin Cartwright, the Fire Department spokesman, said the building is in the process of being gutted and that several firefighters took one hose line to the top of the building and put out the fire. No one was injured, Cartwright said, but late morning traffic was backed up downtown.

Attic mold removal a high headache
Q: I am getting a lot of mold in my attic, which contains an air conditioning unit and hydro air that provides heat and air conditioning to the house. The mold is extensive, mainly on the roof sheathing. Two companies have offered to get rid of the mold, one for $2,000, another for $12,000. One man suggested taking up the insulation on the floor, which is not moldy. Why would that be needed, and how in the world could mold removal cost so much and with such a huge difference? What should I do?
TERRIFIED A: The $12,000 cost is due to the need to use protective clothing and taking many precautions while working, plus the removal of the mold itself, which may be a toxic mold. See if the $2,000 job will remove the mold, and if so, then you can do other things.
