Good morning Washington. Tonight we fall back to the future; or is it move forward to the past? Geeky 80’s movie references aside, everyone remember to set your clocks backward one-hour later tonight. In other words, many drinking establishments will be open an extra hour tonight, delaying that inevitable last call and drudge back home by a few more minutes. But heads up, tonight’s gain is only borrowed time, and come spring we’ll all be griping over the loss of precious sleep.

>> The investigation continues surrounding the gunshots that were fired Friday morning on the Catholic University campus. According to university’s Department of Public Safety, several shots were fired around 8:45 a.m. between two residence halls. Despite the shooting, the university did not implement the text-alert system, rather sending an email to students more than two hours after the incident. Officials stated that there is no reason to believe the CUA campus is in any danger.

>> Days after Gov. Martin O’Malley snagged an election win over Bob Ehrlich, reprecussions from the campaign continue to flow. Julius Henson, a political operative for a consulting firm working on the Ehrlich campaign, has admitted to ordering robocalls to more than 50,000 Democrat voters urging them to “relax” and that “the only thing left is to watch it on TV tonight.” Over the past week, Democrats have ramped up their criticisms of the tactic, including calls for an investigation into election-law violations, according to the Washington Post. Sen. Ben Cardin has asked U.S. Attorney General to look into the episode.

>> The ongoing Chandra Levy murder trial breaks until Wednesday after eight days of testimony. Thursday’s testimonies included that of Armando Morales, the accused Ingmar Guandique’s former prison cellmate, to whom Guandique allegedly confessed to the murder. Despite some physical evidence, this is the first time Guandique has been directly linked to Chandra Levy.
