School kids call Catherine Hyde's teenage daughter "freak" and "pervert," or "homo. " She's forced to change for gym in a closet and use the teacher's restroom. Hyde knows her daughter, who was born male, has had it easy in a world where transgender people often lose their jobs, go homeless and suffer beatings. Yet after a brutal assault at a Rosedale McDonald's on another young transgender woman, she sees hope. Hyde, and others in Maryland who've in the past failed to persuade lawmakers to enact a law designed to protect transgender people, believe the attack and the attention it's drawn to the state will finally spur action.

Like many other Marylanders, I was shocked and appalled by the brutal beating of a young woman in a Rosedale McDonald's. I have known the people of Rosedale for years, first as their county executive and now as their congressman. I am proud to represent them. Rosedale is a patriotic community of hard-working Americans and it is a shame that the inexcusable behavior of two people has muddied its reputation in the national media. Those two people do not speak for Rosedale, and they don't speak for my district.

A transgender woman beaten at a Baltimore County McDonald's spoke out on Saturday, saying that the attack was "definitely a hate crime" and that she's been afraid to go out in public ever since. "They said, 'That's a dude, that's a dude and she's in the female bathroom,' " said Chrissy Lee Polis, 22, who said she stopped at the Rosedale restaurant to use the restroom. "They spit in my face. " A worker at the restaurant taped Monday's attack and created a graphic video that went viral last week.

On one side of the double white steel doors is Remedi SeniorCare's present: a conventional pharmacy, complete with rows of shelves, hundreds of prescription drug bottles and staffers who fill thousands of orders a day for nursing homes and assisted-living centers. It's adequate, but certainly not cutting-edge. "This is the dinosaur of medication administration," said Michael G. Bronfein, Remedi's chief executive, during a recent tour of the 50,000-square-foot floor. But push through to the other side of the white doors and you see Remedi's future: robots.

A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a Rosedale man for home invasion robberies, including the armed robbery of a restaurant owner, who was left handcuffed to a chair in his home two years ago, the Maryland U.S. attorney's office said. U.S. District Judge Benson E. Legg sentenced Antowan Bell, 25, to more than 10 years in prison for his role in the September 2009 robbery of the owner of a Baltimore County restaurant on North Point Boulevard. According to his plea agreement, Bell and another man drove to the owner's home and gained entry by pretending to be law enforcement.

The old General Motors Corp. has agreed to pay $2.5 million towards cleanup of a former dump in Rosedale under a nationwide settlement of pollution claims with the federal government. The U.S. attorney's office in Detroit and the Environmental Protection Agency announced a $51.4 million deal with the spin-off of the automaker covering cleanup of 34 sites in 11 states. Old General Motors was split in two when it emerged from bankruptcy protection in July 2009. "Old GM," now called Motors Liquidation Co., got much of GM's debt, closed factory sites and liabilities, while General Motors Co. emerged as the new company making cars and trucks.
