Brooklyn Cherry Business to Plead Guilty Over Pollution and Marijuana

With the owner of Dell’s Maraschino Cherries dead, investigators have not yet unraveled a marijuana operation’s inner workings or identified the others they believe must be involved.

The district attorney was gentle with the company.

In Europe’s Top Destinations, Hotels to Suit Your Wallet

Hotel pairs in six popular European cities, including Paris and Barcelona, offer alternatives at the high or low end of the budget spectrum.

I would be looking for a reasonable place to sleep.
I don't mind bunk rooms when I am traveling alone.
I don't want to share my time with you with strangers.
Easy bathing is a feature. 
Laundry service is a desired luxury.

U.S. Trying to Protect Sage Grouse Without Listing It as an Endangered Species

The compromise was reached with environmental groups and industry but drew criticism that it did not go far enough to protect the bird known for its courtship strut.

The effort is probably sufficient.

Coal and oil development should cease soon.
I have no confidence wind power will prove viable.

Keeping power lines short will be of increasing importance.

Fire is and predation are part of the ecosystem of the high prairie.
We need not worry much about them.

Tireless Star and Unorthodox Coach Help Lead Britain to Davis Cup Final

Leon Smith had no experience of competing professionally when he was appointed captain of Britain’s Davis Cup team in April 2010. Now he has helped execute one of the most drastic reversals in the competition’s history.

The method seems to be a simple one.
Develop players by having them play competitive matches against other strong players.

North Carolina: Father Accused in Drowning Attempts

A man tried to drown his three children in a pond at a Durham apartment complex and then begged a 911 dispatcher to send help, according to emergency calls released Monday.

Commit the parent before removing the children.

Social services erred in their procedure.
Social services is probably disastrously underfunded.
