GWU NEUROSURGEON JACOB OTT LEAVES D.C. FOR GREENER PASTURES
One of the leading minds behind the Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) device with other doctors at Georgetown University Hospital, they were able to give hope to the estimated 60,000 new cases diagnosed each year, joining the 1.5 million Americans who currently have Parkinson's disease. But it seems Dr. Ott has decided to take his magic elsewhere. Sources who are close to the doctor will not divulge his reasons for why he decided to up and move from the prominent medical centers here in D.C. to a smaller medical community, only saying he felt that it was the best thing for him to do at the time. Rumors suggest that the city holds too many memories for him. Earlier in the year Dr. Ott's long time companion, Christina Delamoire, was killed in botched robbery. Recently, Ott has been seen socially with D.C's head Coroner, Ms. Jordan Forrester, but a spokesman for the Coroner's office said that Dr. Ott's and Dr. Forrester's relationship was purely business. Forrester was the coroner on Delamoire's case.

PROMINENT POLICE PSYCHOLOGY CONSULTANT ANALYZES LAIKE DEATH
Coroner's reports show that Laike appeared to have swallowed his own tongue but there was no medical reasoning behind it. Laike's chemical tests came back negative and he had no history of seizures where this is a common cause of death if interventions not preformed. Laike's death is currently being listed as an Unknown Cause, which has baffled not only the DCPD Coroner but the Law Enforcement community as a whole.
Ms. Reynolds is still working on the case, reviewing Laike's upbringing and performance records, but she did say she feels Laike was a deeply troubled man after the death of his partner and that suicide should not be ruled out as a cause of death.

POLICE RAID WAREHOUSE IN SOUTHEAST TURNS OUT TO BE TRAINING EXERCISE
SOUTHEAST - Several incidents have been reported over the last couple of weeks, of strange occurrences at a local warehouse down near the Waterfront district in Southeast DC. Due to certain sensitive aspects of the training exercise, according to the Department of Homeland Security, local residents were not able to be informed that DC SWAT Units were conducting a vital cross-training exercise using a recently purchased abandoned building secured for this express purpose. Outgoing police chief Charles Ramsey told reporters how proud he is of the performance of the officers involved, and that they are training DC's Finest to handle any future security threats, as various tensions escalate in Washington due to the political climate. The warehouse in question is located just six blocks from the Capital. Residents had reported traffic snarls, gunshots, break-ins and gang activity as unusually heavy in that block, even relative to the normally heavy crime associated with much of Southeast Washington. Whether this exercise was meant to combat the trouble or was mistaken for it seems moot now, as things have returned seemingly to business as usual.

Man
dies after 50 hours of computer games
South Korean left seat in Internet cafe only to use toilet, take brief naps
Reuters Updated: 6:43 p.m.
ET
SEOUL, South Korea - A South Korean man who played computer games for 50 hours almost non-stop died of heart failure minutes after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe, authorities said on Tuesday. The 28-year-old man, identified only by his family name Lee, had been playing online battle simulation games at the cyber café in the southeastern city of Taegu, police said.
Lee had planted himself in front of a computer monitor to play online games three days ago. He only left the spot over the next three days to go to the toilet and take brief naps on a makeshift bed, they said. "We presume the cause of death was heart failure stemming from exhaustion," a Taegu provincial police official said by telephone. Lee had recently quit his job to spend more time playing games, the daily JoongAng Ilbo reported after interviewing former work colleagues and staff at the Internet cafe. After he failed to return home, Lee's mother asked his former colleagues to find him. When they reached the cafe, Lee said he would finish the game and then go home, the paper reported. He died a few minutes later, it said. South Korea, one of the most wired countries in the world, has a large and highly developed game industry. Copyright 2005 Reuters Limited. All rights reserved.
