From the office of the Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb:

“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today announced that, as a result of the effective and thorough advocacy of the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), the District of Columbia Board of Dentistry has revoked the license of dentist Mark McCLure and barred him from re-applying for licensure to practice dentistry in the District for at least five years. McClure committed repeated and egregious violations, including engaging in sexual contact with a patient and teaming up with another doctor to threaten and bully her out of reporting the matter. He also prescribed highly addictive medication to another patient and then abruptly cut her off, leading to medical complications – including a seizure – that required in-patient treatment for 45 days. Additionally, McClure treated other patients using pseudoscientific medical procedures outside the practice of dentistry, and then systematically hid and manipulated records to cover up his misbehavior.

The photos capture a one second duration of a complex 15-plus minute long choreography of harassment between the hawks and a murder of more than 10 crows.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,

It looks like a new indoor plant store will be opening in Pleasant Plains on the corner of Euclid and Sherman. This space was previously City Corner Market. Signage for Cap and Stem went up this week and they seem to be making good progress on the interior, however, I wasn’t able to tune into on an opening date.

As an update, I walked past the store front again this morning and I think they may actually sell mushrooms? Not entirely clear…”
