"All these projects mean thousands of jobs are coming to Harford County," said Councilman Dion Guthrie, who represents the Edgewood area. "The base has already gone from one security gate to six." Since the research institute project is not related to BRAC, it does not have to meet that 2011 deadline. "It is not BRAC, but this project is critical to the build-out and transformation at APG," Ruderman said. "We are really changing the landscape."

His parents, his girlfriend and his teammates all say the same thing about Domonique Foxworth. The Ravens cornerback might look like a 26-year-old, he might run like a 26-year-old, but he thinks and conducts his life like a 40-year-old - always has. n His parents considered him more responsible than his brother, who is two years older. His NFL mentor, Champ Bailey, considered him the levelheaded one in their relationship. Whether the subject is President Barack Obama, the role of a black athlete in modern society or the NFL players union's treatment of retired players, Foxworth can deliver a well-crafted opinion.

Trainer Reade Baker looked around the Pimlico Race Course barn Saturday morning. What he saw was the rain pounding on the roof and, aside from his Preakness entry Kentucky Bear, a lot of empty stalls. "I'm from the old school," Baker said. "I've been in this a long time, and I've always thought you take a good horse to a big race early. "I want my horse here. I want to take him to the track and breeze him and see how he likes it. I want to take him to the paddock and school him in the gate.

Who went home: No one! Really. The lowdown: According to Ryan Seacrest, last night's results were the most shocking ever! And for once, he was only slightly exaggerating. After two hours of charity appeals, the Idol powers that be apparently thought it would be tacky to snuff out one of the singers. But next week, they will send home two singers based on the votes from this week and next. Shining moment: It would be easy to call the special cheesy (i.e. the dead Elvis and undead Celine Dion duet)

Violence that claimed the life of a 15-year-old boy Saturday - one of three victims of reported weekend homicides in the city - brought a crowd of more than 100 people last night to the site of the killing in East Baltimore. The teenager, Dion Williams of the 3200 block of E. Lombard St., was found shot several times in the 2700 block of E. Monument St. about 2 a.m. Saturday and died a short time later at Hopkins Hospital. A dozen balloons and as many teddy bears adorned a light pole near where Dion, a 10th-grader and a football player at Lake Clifton High School, was shot.

Here's where Yahoo! Autos messed up. The Web site recently conducted a nonscientific poll of the best driving songs of 2003, which is reasonably interesting -- OutKast won, with 20 percent of 2,482 voters picking "Hey Ya!" Mega-platinum rapper 50 Cent came in second, with 19 percent voting for "P.I.M.P." But what if the Web site had combined its poll with a recent Budweiser survey that found Tim McGraw and Celine Dion topping a list of people's fantasy designated drivers? Imagine the beautiful synergy of voting for a fantasy designated driver singing your favorite driving song.

It probably helps to be drunk. But that's the point. An awful lot of people want to get wasted and ride around with Tim McGraw or Celine Dion, according to a recent survey asking Americans to pick a fantasy designated driver. McGraw and Dion led their respective gender categories, with 33 percent of 1,167 over-21 respondents choosing the black-hatted country star and 27 percent selecting leather-lunged cash cow Dion. What if she sings in the car? Maybe a cab isn't such a bad option. McGraw surely got a boost from his role as a designated driver in a Super Bowl beer ad last January.
