Ok maybe as an Arlington resident I shouldn't put my 2 cents in, but it seems like D.C.'s Department of Youth Rehab Services should be getting grilled alot more for the below(taken from a Colbert King column who admittedly has been fixated for a long time in his Saturday column on ripping apart the DYRBS)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/02/AR2010040202347.html

There's something about this week's drive-by shooting that left four victims dead and five others wounded on South Capitol Street that D.C. authorities don't want you to know: One of the homicide victims, and two of those arrested in connection with that violence and an earlier shooting, were under the commitment of the city's Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services.

yeah and this article just lays out what's going to (not) happen to the minor who drove the car: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/07/AR2010040704954.html?sid=ST2010040705015

The teen, who has been in and out of juvenile court since he was 9, had twice fled from minimum-security facilities.

Under D.C. law, a juvenile younger than 15 cannot be treated as an adult in the courts, regardless of how serious the offense.

If the teen is found culpable for murder, a family court judge cannot order confinement. A youth can be placed on probation or committed to the custody of the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services.

The department decides whether the offender should be held at a detention facility and for how long -- a source of frustration for many judges. The teen can be locked up until he turns 21. At that point, the family court and the DYRS would lose jurisdiction, and he would go free.

i've been hearing about the lack of teeth in the juvenile system since i moved here. politicians, judges, prosecutors, police, neighborhood bloggers/commenters, columnists/journalists--all are well aware of it, but i haven't ever seen anyone in a position of power do anything about it. well jim graham said in an e-mail he proposed some legislation but i haven't heard anything else. where is the holdup? who is arguing that the system *should* work this way? is changing it just a nonstarter? are there lots of people out there who prefer it this way? i'm really curious.

I do not understand it either.

hi ljub, apparently sis has something planned here for tonight, but i would love to get together another day this weekend or maybe monday (woah happy hr after first day of work?).

I'm off on a hike Sun during the day (a meetup.com one that's 'full'), but otherwise I'm around this w/e and Monday eve, so pick a day! HH after first day of work sounds like a grand plan to me... Will webmail you my mobile no.

Ha, how about Rhee now saying "Oops there really was not a deficit that required me to fire all those teachers in mid-semester. But I'm not gonna hire any of them back even if we have the money. Plus I was going with what I was told at the time."

D.C. politics...The only thing more predictable is the story with video of the PG Cops beating up a University of Maryland student celebrating the win over Duke earlier this year. There have been decades now of stories about over-active PG cops.

I wonder what Va. governor McDonnell thinks of today being Emancipation Day in DC (with DC public schools and offices closed).

Wow people really like to check out on fridays.

do not want

Hey dcilxors, I'm going to be taking a FB/twitter/ilx break for a while. If you don't have my e-mail address/phone number/whatevs, webmail me and I will send it to you. Take care!

No, don't go.

This is, come to think of it, one of the best, most interesting restaurant seasons I can remember -- maybe the best and most interesting.

Consider what has opened, or is opening: Kushi, 8407, Yannick Cam's Bistro Provence in Bethesda, Lyon Hall from the team behind The Liberty Tavern, and Ray's the Steaks at East River (which I think is the most important restaurant to debut in the city's history).

The common denominator? All are local, independent, and personal.

From Todd Kliman's e-mail newsletter

Hey I Died, curious what you think about the above view...I have never been to most of those so can't express any agreement or disagreement

I haven't been to any of them either! They've all opened in the past month or so, most of them in the last week. I don't think RTS East River is the most important restaurant to debut in the city's history, though.

I'm also not sure what "independent and personal" means - I mean, very few restaurants that food critics write about aren't independent. Whether you're financed by a hotel or an investor, you're answering to someone.

The test of these places isn't whether they have interesting concepts or make a big splash when they open, it's whether they're serving great food a year or two from now.

Maybe I'm just jealous because only one of them is within four miles of my apartment.

Arlington resident me drives by the future Lyon Hall (and the existing Liberty Tavern) all the time but I have never been to the Tavern.

hi guys being an alexandria resident sucks please find me an apt thanks <3

Have you seen any yet? Someone told me the other day that Rosslyn has good deals..

live in dc, not rosslyn

yeah I know that Rosslyn is not ideal... just cheap(er)

Yeah it's close to work... Would be nice to get home quickly after late work nights... But dc sounds so much better in terms of having a life, and I have not even had time to look yet!

i work in orange line arlington and wouldn't consider moving here, not even for a non-commute. it's a pleasant enough place to work (by which i mean i like the lunch options) but it doesn't have the density i want

and virginians are the most disgusting savages etc etc

sounds like i'll be wanting to move out of old alexandria as quickly as humanly possible

Non-metro area South Arlington me likes my ethnic restaurant choices but goes to DC for music, museums and more. Yes we are all disgusting savages.

And proud of it.

hi guys being an alexandria resident sucks please find me an apt thanks

hey tehresa, my brother is likely moving out of his 1200 sq ft apartment in SW in about... 2 weeks? webmail me if you want more details

I understand the advantages of living in DC btw. But it has always made me laugh over the years though to get attitude from some DCers (no one here) when they found out I lived in either PG County or Virginia. Plus some of those particular DCers were so wed to just going to a few particular places within walking distance in their DC neighborhood that they seemed to miss out on alot of what I see as the benefits of city life because they would not pay for cab rides or metro or just be a little adventurous (just living in Mt. Pleasant does not automatically make one more interesting than a suburbanite).
