Who knew that the devil actually had a plan before inhabiting the body of Sister Mary Eunice? Unless that plan included slashing the throats of patients and investigators, and trying to seduce Dr. Arden, it seemed like the spirit was just winging it. In reality, every move she's made so far has been calculated. The demon wants to run Briarcliff. Last week, her actions led to Sister Jude packing her bags. This week, she exercised her control over Dr. Arden. After Grace is found bleeding, with her girl parts "scooped out," Sister Mary Eunice blames Arden for the failed sterilization attempt.

For more than 10 years, Hellas in Anne Arundel County has been a standby Mediterranean restaurant and bar. The restaurant is big enough to accommodate groups, and the menu is heavy on filling, homey dishes like ravioli, lasagna and Greek specialties. But what recently brought this family-owned mainstay to my attention was its wholehearted embrace of craft beer — Hellas beefed up its bottled beer selection, and added a 20-line draft system. Michael Stavlas, whose family owns the restaurant, said there are also plans to add a beer cellar menu.

But he said yesterday that he will continue talks with Maryland and Virginia to try to reach a consensus on a government policy for bringing back the depleted shellfish. Col. Dionysios Anninos, commander of the Norfolk District of the Army Corps of Engineers, said a five-year study by the two states and the federal government had failed to resolve concerns about the risks of allowing large-scale farming of the non-native oyster.

KOSICE, Slovakia -- A case making its way through the courts in Slovakia is giving a new sense of hope to Europe's most persecuted minority. But it also could be the catalyst that unleashes the Roma people's many decades of pent-up frustration. The number of Roma (Gypsies) in the European Union roughly tripled in January, when Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU, making the outcome of this case consequential for all Europeans - as it should be for people everywhere who care about justice.
