Within a week or so is our decision point if the medical people are going to take him off special-watch status," O'Neill said. Then, jail staff will decide whether to place Browning in protective custody or in the detention center's units for inmates under the age of 23. Inmates in protective custody have cellmates but are let out of their cells only one hour a day.

Browning, a Dulaney High School sophomore, is accused of fatally shooting his parents, John W. Browning and Tamara Browning, as well as his younger brothers, 14-year-old Gregory and 11-year-old Benjamin. All four were sleeping in their Cockeysville home when they were killed Feb. 2.

Nicholas Browning told police that he was playing video games at a friend's house late Feb. 1 -- a Friday -- and into the next morning when he decided to walk the nearly three miles back to his parent's large Colonial-style home, a source familiar with the investigation has said.

Ask the Carey Brothers: Cleaning vinyl siding

Q. I have a small, portable one-room air conditioner that I've used for several years. Now, some of the grease has leaked from the rear of the unit onto the vinyl siding of my house. How do I clean it off?

A. Always try soap and water first or the cleaner that is recommended. Having said that, and because the grease you're describing is probably a petrochemical based material (not silicone), it can probably best be cleaned using something like gasoline or acetone.

First, make sure there are no flames or sparks nearby, and turn off and disconnect any nearby appliances that could spark while you're working. No smoking during this project.

Then, simply put a very small amount of gasoline onto the rag and wipe. The stain will disappear.

When the general public is allowed to train for and get their concealed weapons permit they can defend themselves against incidents such as this. This scenerio might have played out differently if just ONE of those students held a concealed weapon. If they were given the opportunity to defend themselves. Do not push this off on firearms. That is just asinine. If not for firearms there would be no America. The 2nd Amendment is the number 2 amendment for a reason. Right after free speech. It must have been very important to our founding fathers if they put it at number 2 versus at the very bottom of the list let alone at all. England banned private gun ownership for a reason. Little to no resistance from an entity that is not armed and can be easily overcome.
