Four young men broke into the Stadium Place YMCA in Waverly early Tuesday and stole a 60-inch television, a portable oxygen tank and food, and also damaged a vending and bank machine, Baltimore police said Wednesday. A spokeswoman for the YMCA of Central Maryland had said on Tuesday that the break-in was confined to the lobby of the building on East 33rd Street, the site of the old Memorial Stadium. She had declined to say if anything was taken, but said damage was quickly cleaned up. The police report details far more extensive damage.

A man, named O'Rooke, on Saturday evening publicly horsewhipped his wife in the Bowery, New York and, as might have been expected, he got knocked down and "pretty well used up" for his "labours of love," by gallants who happened to be passing that way. The way he was used must have satisfied him that there is some truth in the remark of the late Samuel Patch, Esq., that β€œa great many people aren't all alike.” ____ Murder - A...

I once worked with Kenny Brown's old man and, in our travels together, we came across all sorts of people living one step away from prison, from eviction, from unemployment, from the mental hospital, from the grave. Kenny's father used to hold his thumb and index finger about a half-inch apart and say, "That close, man, we could all be that close from the edge."Then Kenny Brown called me. His father's son, all right. He stopped in the middle of the road Monday night because some poor soul was lying, maybe dying, in it. "Late 20s or early 30s," Kenny figured the man's age. "He was crawling across the road.

Patrick Dolan was stabbed in November 2010 after getting off a bus in Belair-Edison. His killing remains unsolved. The 19-year-old was the city's 200th murder victim of that year, a number that at the time startled Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb . Dolan had been a huge football fan and before his death he had splurged on a Lardarius Webb jersey. His family buried him wearing the No. 21, and Webb was so taken by the tribute that he and other players signed a ball for the grieving family.

Julien Rosaly's father does not accept that Baltimore police did the best investigation they could with the information they had. He wants them to apologize for arresting his son and friend and charging him with robbing a couple at gunpoint in South Baltimore. But police and prosecutors will mostly likely not say they're sorry, despite dropping all charges against the two men on Friday after reviewing a videotape that shows Rosaly eating in a restaurant at the time of the attack.

The Trayvon Martin story is a tragedy justifiably causing outrage among thousands of citizens, including President Obama ("A show of solidarity on 'Hoodie Sunday,'" March 26). Yet on the same day that story appeared there was just a single paragraph about another young man only a few years older than Trayvon who was killed in front of his home in Baltimore ("Man, 18, fatally shot outside home in West Baltimore," March 26). No speeches or condolences from the president were mentioned in that story, and none are likely to be forthcoming because this is an almost daily event in Maryland that draws little attention.

Johns Hopkins fans got a pleasant surprise when freshman attackman Wells Stanwick (right hand) returned from a three-game absence and ran with the second midfield in the team's 11-7 victory over No. 7 Syracuse Saturday. Could another surprise be in store regarding the availability of senior attackman Chris Boland (shoulder)? As of Wednesday morning, there is no answer to that question, according to Blue Jays coach Dave Pietramala. β€œIt's day-by-day, and I've been saying that for about two weeks now, and it's exactly what it is,” Pietramala said of Boland, who has sat out six consecutive games since injuring the shoulder in the Feb. 17 season opener against Towson.

When I was a very young man and landed my first checkbook, my mother taught me that if the money was not there you certainly could not buy what you want. Why should Marylanders have to pay for a lesson that Gov. Martin OMalley did not grasp from his mother? He took office with a surplus of cash and quickly spent it. Now, he wants us to bail him out. He talks about helping poor people but wants to step on hardworking Marylanders to do it. There has to be another way. We bust our butts to make a decent living, taking two and three jobs when we have to. We contribute to the economy, vote in every election, and yet it is us who must foot the bill for everything.

Editor: Didn't anybody notice? Didn't anybody care? Did the neighbors not want to get involved? Why wasn't Child Protective Services called? Why wasn't there someone at C. Milton Wright High School that Richard's friends felt comfortable talking with? Didn't anyone at school become suspicious about his appearance? There have been conflicting reports that the Harford County Sheriff's Office was called/was not called. Which was it? Who was there to support this young man? Verbal abuse is insidious and will destroy a person.

EVEN SEAN FREELAND's mother will admit that her 23-year-old son, shot and killed Saturday night by police, had a history of trouble with the law. But maybe neighbors who violently protested the shooting that night weren't ignoring his record. Their actions, in a sense, acknowledged his criminal record and served as recognition that Mr. Freeland was like a lot of other young men they know in West Baltimore -- sons, brothers and fathers who easily could have been in his place.That fact is as tragic as Mr. Freeland's death.

Avery Thompson wrapped up a standout junior season for Grassfield High in Chesapeake, Va., and promptly moved to South Korea . Thompson's move, in December 2010, was for a good reason. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound linebacker was meeting up his father -- a colonel in theU.S. Armystationed in South Korea. While the Thompson family reunion was a happy one, it came with a price when it came to football recruiting. "A lot of college recruiters missed an opportunity to meet him because he committed to his family," said Grassfield coach Martin Asprey .
