Gilbert Gude, a liberal Republican who championed environmental causes during five terms in the House of Representatives, died Thursday of heart failure at Sibley Hospital in Washington. The longtime Bethesda resident was 84. Mr. Gude, who represented Montgomery County and, at times, parts of Howard County from 1967 to 1977, was the chief House sponsor of the bill preserving the C&O Canal from Georgetown to Cumberland, making it the narrowest -- and one of the most-used -- national parks.

The uniform number says a lot about Gilbert Arenas. Zero. That was how many minutes some recruiters told him he'd play for a major program. And he never wanted to forget, so he slapped it on his chest as a freshman at Arizona. But these days, the number is a big part of his "superhero" identity. He's Agent Zero, the phenomenon who bursts past the fastest guards, floats shots over the fingertips of the tallest centers and swishes three-pointers from the remotest environs of a basketball court.

Poet W. S. Gilbert and composer Sir Arthur Sullivan continue to shine in each other's reflected light. The magic in the ampersand of Gilbert & Sullivan remains undiminished. In terms of number of performances, amateur as well as professional, they are still ahead of more recent musical partnerships like Rodgers and Hammerstein or even Rice and Lloyd Webber."I grew up with the stuff," says Roger Brunyate, the director of the Young Victorian Theater Company's new production of G & S' "The Gondoliers," which opens today at the Bryn Mawr School.

On Monday, authorities discovered that he was wanted in Baltimore.U.S. prosecutors had been preparing for an extradition hearing, but police said Trinidad authorities decided to deport Jackson without a court appearance.Two Baltimore City homicide detectives flew to Trinidad Wednesday and escorted the suspect to Maryland yesterday afternoon.

Terry and Marta Mangum aren't the only Maryland couple who hired builder Blair Gilbert and ended up with an unfinished house and a pending lawsuit.Richard and Monica Siegelman of Elkridge contracted with Gilbert in January 1998 to build a 2,200-square-foot steel-frame house in Pasadena. The house was to be finished in July 1998."We liked the advantages to building with steel," Monica Siegelman said. "There are no termites and no cracks in walls."And we liked that, with Gilbert, we were dealing with the builder directly.

Not only was unranked Hereford's 10-6 upset at No. 9 Dulaney its first over a Lions' team, but it also made the Bulls the first Baltimore County program to win on Dulaney's home field.Matt Curtis (two goals, two assists), Luke Gilbert (three goals) and Chris Lauer (three assists) helped Hereford (10-2 overall) win its ninth straight game and stay unbeaten (9-0) in Division I, the county's premier conference.Hereford's Matt Miller scored twice and Todd Smith had a goal and an assist to help drop the Lions, last season's 3A-4A state runners-up, to 10-3 and 8-1.Hereford became only the second team to score in double figures against Dulaney this season, joining top-ranked McDonogh, an earlier 11-4 winner over the Lions.

Jeffrey A. Levitt, Maryland's infamous swindler who once plunged the state into perhaps its darkest financial disaster, is in trouble again -- this time with his 87-year-old mother, who's suing him for using her credit cards and allegedly bamboozling her in a stock scheme.Maryland authorities have begun an investigation into Nettie Levitt-Gilbert's claims, filed in Florida, to find out whether her son committed crimes that would violate his parole. Levitt earned prison release in 1993 after serving nearly eight years of a 30-year sentence for embezzling $14.6 million from his thrift, Old Court Savings & Loan.

THERE WAS ICE on the parking lot, ice on her car, ice everywhere. Last Thursday night, memorable for its frozen sheen and big power outages, Judy Gilbert, a 55-year-old legal secretary who'd worked late at Piper & Marbury in downtown Baltimore, found herself alone at the Rogers Avenue Metro stop. It was 10 o'clock.Raining.And freezing.Gilbert scraped the ice-lacquered door frame of her car with a key. She pulled hard at the handle. She slipped on the ice. The door didn't budge.She spotted two young guys -- "Ninety percent of the population appears young to me," she says -- as they slid along Rogers Avenue.

Some things you do for money, others because they are as necessary as eating and breathing.So it is for 94 amateur pianists around the world now preparing for the Van Cliburn Foundation's first International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs. They are doctors, lawyers, one is a former Miss Minnesota, another is a hairdresser from Denver, yet another is the head of gaming tables at Harrah's casino in Reno, Nev.Like Linda Gilbert, an accountant in Baltimore County and one of the chosen, they have careers.

Jim Gilbert of East New Market writes: I live on the Choptank River, and this time of year we catch a lot of 12- to 14-inch rockfish. Almost all the fish have some sort of lice-type creature in each gill. My question is, should I remove the parasite and let the fish go or should I just let them go as is, parasite and all? Rudy Lukacovic, a state fisheries biologist, replies: Depending upon the size, it could either be Ergasilus or Lironeca ovalis. Argulus, [or fish lice], is usually found on the body, not the gills.

The letter starts off ordinarily enough, with a typical salutation in the form of "Dear Mr. Gilbert." But its next sentence is set off in boldface type as its own paragraph: "Congratulations, you are pre-approved for a Home Equity Line of Credit." It's not jarring to you, I suppose. You don't see a thing appalling or outrageous about this letter. Perhaps you, like the officer of the bank who signed the letter, believe that Mr. Gilbert is qualified for a home equity line of credit. Let me let you in on a little secret.

On July 23, 2009, Leonard Gilbert, A family memorial service was held on July 24 in Florida. Contributions in Lenny's memory may be sent to SAVE THE CHILDREN FEDERATION www.savethechildren.org/

A federal jury on Wednesday failed to agree on a death sentence, sparing the lives of two convicted killers and showing them the mercy that they denied their victims. Melvin Gilbert, 34, and James Dinkins, 36, were each sentenced to multiple life terms. They were convicted last month of running a vast drug operation known as "Special" in Northeast Baltimore and murdering three men, including two people they thought were law enforcement cooperators - "rats," according to Gilbert. U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz promised that the co-defendants and "the poison that they brought" would never again "be anywhere close to Baltimore."

James "Miami" Dinkins refused to testify during the life-or-death sentencing phase of his trial Monday, just as he chose not to speak during the fact-finding stage, in which he was found guilty of essentially being the hit man for a major drug operation in Northeast Baltimore. But he made sure the jury heard him. "I'm innocent," he cried out from the defense table, claiming that the government wanted him to become an informant in exchange for his freedom, but he didn't take the deal. Attorneys presented closing arguments in the sentencing phase of the weeks-long trial Monday.

In my spare time, I'm going to open a flier-proofreading business. I wouldn't charge a thing; though it might be nice if the flier distributors considered bartering the services they advertise, just once, for my family and me. And no, I am quite sure I didn't mean "for my family and I." Here's my plan: I would definitely benefit from a one-time housecleaning, home exterior power washing, lawn analysis, junk pickup or any number of services proffered via fliers stuffed in my front door.

After two full days of deliberation, a federal jury found three men guilty Thursday of multiple murders and of running a lengthy drug conspiracy known as "Special" in Northeast Baltimore. A second phase of the trial will begin Tuesday to determine whether two of the men -Melvin Gilbert, 34, and James Dinkins, 37 - should be put to death. A third defendant, Darron Goods, 24, faces a maximum of life in prison. All three men were found guilty of drug conspiracy, selling heroin, cocaine, crack and marijuana.

A verdict could come as soon as today in a federal death penalty trial alleging vast drug conspiracy and killings by three Baltimore men known on the streets as Melvin, Miami and Moo Man. Jurors began deliberations about 4 p.m. Tuesday. If they convict Melvin Gilbert, 34, and James "Miami" Dinkins, 37, on certain charges, a sentencing phase of the trial would begin next week to determine whether the men should be put to death. A third defendant, 24-year-old Darron Goods, could receive life in prison if found guilty.

Jurors are expected to begin deliberations Tuesday in a federal death penalty case set deep within the "violent world of drug dealing, intimidation and murder" of a tiny section of Northeast Baltimore, prosecutors say, and the alleged drug ring that ran it, selling heroin and crack under one name: Special. The three defendants - Marvin Gilbert, 34; James "Miami" Dinkins, 37; and Darron "Moo Man" Goods, 24 - are accused, in various combinations, of drug conspiracy and multiple killings, including the shooting deaths of two witnesses, one of them on Thanksgiving Day in 2006.
