Emergency rules issued after deadly MARC crash
Four days after the Kensington Silver Spring wreck that killed 11 MARC passengers, the government issued emergency rules to curb speed after leaving stations, require crews to call out signals, and ensure emergency exits are clearly marked and working. Transportation Secretary Pena said the changes take effect today at 12 01 a m with a 30 mph limit until the next signal is seen.

Motive Eludes in Easton Family Slaying Case
Easton police report no motive after an 16 year old Michael Fisher confessed to killing his mother Susan Fisher stepfather Christopher Fisher and younger brother. The bodies were bludgeoned and throats slit in the early hours Monday. Neighbors and school officials express shock and say the teen was an exemplary student. He is held without bond awaiting a bail review as investigators pursue possible motives, including rumors of cult involvement, which authorities say have no substantiated basis.
