here's my take on barnes barnes& noble. they'll close 20 stores a year for the next decade.res really are ending. the small neighborhood store is long gone. i miss them too. my local, used to have a table right as you came in the doors with the staff's picks. they knew the customers and what they would like and laid it out for you. it was not a chore, but i looked forward to it, flat out, i did. you cannot fight economic reality. the sale of actual books, the print version dropped 9% last year. barnes & noble store revenue dropped 11%. the down loaded e-book is the new guy on the block and winning. i'm not fighting it, but i'm not going to switch. i welcome advances in the market place, and e-book is an advance. if you want to take financial advantage, amazon stock highs up all week and today. technology changed my world whether i like it or not, but i have a choice. bookstores will not totally disappear. print books will be available, certainly in my lifetime, but just as i miss the newspaper spreading the world in front of me, so i miss the nearby bookstore spreading choic

the prosecutors paint johnson as an unfaithful boyfriend of barnes' sister. defense lawyers say there's no evidence to link johnson to any foul play. "this case is not about promiscuity. this is about the tragic loss of . young woman's life and the state's," they are geared "rushed to justice." she says that he is not the first person suspected of doing harm to her sister. >> thank you. a school teacher accused of raping a student will stay in jail for the rest of his life. that this late breaking news from the state attorney's office. the court of appeals has ruled in favor of the state of maryland in the case. he has been serving four life sentences. that sentence was challenged because his lawyer at the time did not tell him about a proposed plea deal. and his conviction will stand. >> meanwhile, a small victory for anne arundel county executive john leopold and his legal team. but he is far from out of the woods. lowell melser addresses to explain. >> of misconduct charge was dropped, for security officers that allegedly helped him lift the campaign signs
