N.Y. men reportedly had worked as escorts; witness says both took pills
By LOU CHIBBARO JR. | Oct 10, 12:47 PM D.C. police are awaiting results of toxicology tests conducted by the city's Medical Examiner's office in their investigation into the unexplained deaths of two gay men whose bodies were found four days apart in an apartment in Washington. The men, who did not know each other, had traveled separately last month from New York City to stay with Steven Saleh, who resides in a one-bedroom apartment at the upscale Envoy Towers at 2400 16th St., N.W., according to a police affidavit in support of a search warrant for the apartment. Friends said the two victims were acquaintances of Saleh's, with one of the two, Dean Johnson, 46, having met Saleh in the past in Johnson's role as an escort, according to one friend.
Land-locked Swiss invent underwater car
OK, so the Swiss have invented a car that runs on land and underwater. But did they REALLY have to make it a convertible? It's called the "sQuba," and conjures up memories of James Bond's amphibious Lotus Esprit from "The Spy Who Loved Me." That fictional vehicle traveled on land and, when chased by bad guys in a helicopter, plunged into the water and became an airtight submarine - complete with "torpedoes" and "depth charges." But "Q" isn't responsible for this one. The concept car - which unlike Bond's is not armed - was developed by Swiss designer Rinspeed Inc. and is set to make a splash at the Geneva Auto Show next month. Company CEO Frank Rinderknecht, a self-professed Bond fan, said he has been waiting 30 years to recreate the car he saw Roger Moore use to drive off of a dock.

City Council eyes NCTD’s station plan
CARLSBAD — Long-term plans for more short-term parking are in the works as part of a newly proposed development for the citys downtown commuter station. Lance Schulte, economic administrator with the North County Transit District, or NCTD, presented conceptual plans Jan. 22 to City Council for a mixed-use complex adjacent to the Carlsbad Village Station as well as additional parking for commuters who use the buses and trains. The proposal is part of a plan by NCTD to add double-tracking to the current rail line. Eight bus bays would also be added at the station, located off Grand Avenue, one block north of State Street. Improved transit access means improved coastal access, Schulte told council. Schulte presented two different conceptual plans that included four-story structures of use homes with rooftop patios and retail shops below as well as an office complex and additional retail space.
