			<title><![CDATA[Chuck Brown honored more than just words]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p>There will be a lot of well meaning said about honoring the <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/therootdc/post/chuck-browngo-go-legend-dies/2012/05/17/gIQA4OrfUU_blog.html">legacy</a> of Chuck Brown this week. But many of them will be hollow. </p>
<p/>
<p>The memorial service taking place on May 31 to honor the ‘Godfather of go-go’ gives many people from all walks of life a chance to reminisce and wax poetic about what Chuck’s life and legacy means to D.C. and the world of music. The problem is many folks have done little to  honor the legacy of his musical invention, and in some cases have done things that have hampered its growth and development.</p>

<p>Chuck Brown fans waiting in line for the public viewing of his body at the Howard Theatre on Tuesday morning welcomed D.C. Council member Marion Barry (D-Ward 8) like a folk hero. They scrambled to shake his hand. </p>

			<title><![CDATA[Transportation bill amendment would dump more coal ash on low-income communities]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p>During the upcoming weeks, Congress will be considering a dangerous amendment that guarantees more poison, disease and death from one of our nation’s biggest waste products: coal ash.</p>
<p>Coal ash is the waste leftover after thousands of tons of coal are burned at coal-fired power plants. It is laden with mercury, arsenic, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and lead, which are  pollutants that cause cancer, organ disease, breathing problems, neurological damage, developmental problems and even death. A majority of coal ash is disposed in grossly <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/15/AR2009011503987.html">inadequate</a> dumpsites. </p>

			<title><![CDATA[‘Anacostia in Fashion’ chronicles fashion through a historic lens]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p>For more than 150 years, Anacostia has been home to some of the most significant changes in the District’s history. From the opening of <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://dmh.dc.gov/dmh/cwp/view,a,3,q,516064.asp">St. Elizabeths Hospital</a> in 1855 to the escalating violence and drug use that ravaged the area in the 1990s, the neighborhood  has witnessed it all. Now, this history is being illustrated in an unusual way: at a local art exhibit called “<a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.tbd.com/pictures/2012/04/lumen8anacostia-art-pop-ups-skateboarding-and-a-converted-police-warehouse-in-ward-8/20024-1435.html">Anacostia In Fashion</a>,” where clothing designer  <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://www.bltevans.com/">Brian Evans</a> has created a five-piece showcase documenting the evolution of the neighborhood through interpretative fashion. </p>

			<description><![CDATA[
<p>I'd like to thank everyone for the well wishes on the move this  weekend. We hired movers — best decision ever — and the girlfriend and I are happy with the new place. About these boxes, though...ugh.</p>
<p>
<strong>
<strong>If you're young in D.C., there are a million things to do.</strong>

The Post's Jonathan O'Connell <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/AADB45/FX8WR8/P1ZSW1/0P5W7R/HDFA09/28/h">offers up</a>  an incredibly insightful analysis of how the city became a mecca for one-person households, of which it has the highest percentage in the country, including Manhattan. O'Connell <a data-xslt="_http" href="http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/AADB45/FX8WR8/P1ZSW1/0P5W7R/D490GI/28/h">explains that</a> "the District has evolved into a juggernaut at attracting the sort of person I was before I had children."</p>

			<title><![CDATA[‘Basketball Wives’: Season 4, episode 14]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
<p>On this episode of “Basketball Wives,” Jennifer ignores the group, Suzie plays informant and Kenya seems a little fishy.</p>
<p>Kesha has flown home, but the women are still leaving their beastly mark all over Tahiti. Evelyn, Shaunie and Tami take a sunset cruise. Tami, the Incredible Hobo Hulk, appears to have calmed down and sobered up a bit since her fight with Kesha. “We should be able to have an adult conversation,” Tami says. Apparently, Tami suffers from short-term memory. There are no conversations with this woman, only bullying and violence on her part. The women relax and take in the scenery.</p>
