The fullback position in professional football is often overlooked, wedged in a no-man's land between the quarterback and the featured running back in a team's offense. As a result, fullbacks go relatively unnoticed by casual fans. "There's a lot of work that's done that's not seen, but by the guys in the running back room," Ravens fullback Justin Green said. "You look at a guy like Ovie Mughelli or Lorenzo Neal [of the San Diego Chargers], they are really important to their team. I just try to model myself after guys like that."

Tom Green is 57 years old - slender, bespectacled, and gray-haired. He doesn't particularly watch what he eats, and he doesn't exercise much. But about 10 times a year, the Columbia resident laces up his sneakers ("Maybe I ought to buy shoes more often," he says) and competes in ultramarathons - races that are 50 miles or longer, often over steep mountain trails. This month, Green completed his 25th consecutive running of the Mountain Masochist, an aptly named slog over 50 miles of Blue Ridge Mountain roads and trails, starting and ending in Lynchburg, Va. He finished in 11 hours, 52 minutes and 43 seconds and is believed to be the only person to run the race every year since it started in 1983.

A consensus on legislation to promote residential environmentally friendly development has emerged among Howard County Council members, who are scheduled to vote on the measures Monday. The tentative agreement was suggested by Councilwoman Courtney Watson, an Ellicott City Democrat who pushed for progress toward an agreement at a nearly three-hour council work session Wednesday - the second session this week. The council is working toward votes on a package of five bills and resolutions - and 18 possible amendments - designed to promote more environmentally friendly commercial and residential buildings in the county.

Theatrical superstition holds that green is an unlucky color, but in Wicked -- the musical about a green-skinned girl and the Emerald City -- green is definitely the color of luck, as well as money. Wicked seems to mint money in every town it plays and, judging from the slick touring production at the Hippodrome, Baltimore should prove no exception. Wicked runs through Feb. 18 at the Hippodrome, 12 N. Eutaw St. Tickets are $36-$82. 410-547-SEAT or BroadwayAcrossAmerica.com

A Glen Burnie father shouted "It's not fair!" and kicked his chair away yesterday after an Anne Arundel County judge sentenced him to 18 months in jail for a drunken-driving crash that killed two youngsters, one of them his. At one end of the courtroom, Michael L. Green, 26, wept as a sheriff's deputy prepared to lead him to a holding cell and his lawyer tried to calm him. At the other, his wife -- mother of the two dead children -- sobbed, saying that...

The seeds for St. Mary's run to the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association B Conference championship this season were planted during summer workouts in 2005. Joshua Morgan-Green and Joshua Hartman, transfers from Bowie and Archbishop Spalding, respectively, were paired as training partners and immediately bonded over a shared love of the game. The following summer, Nicholas Croce joined the duo for drills and quickly earned his teammates' respect. The synergy among the three guards helped the Saints go from mediocrity to their first championship since 2003.

"The book I enjoyed reading was 'How to Kill a Monster' by R. L. Stine. It is summer and a young brother and his sister are being sent to stay with their grandparents. They hate to stay with them because their house is in a swamp in the middle of nowhere. Everything is green -- walls and furniture -- from the moss that grows due to the dampness. However, this year's visit will be much different from all the others."-- Sha'Quna CollinsChoptank Elementary"I like the 'Clue Jr.' mystery books by Della Rowland because the characters always figure out the mystery by using hard-to-find clues.

The Annapolis Chorale, led by musical director J. Ernest Green, opened its 27th season with a bright and joyous pops concert.As is customary in Green's pops concerts, this "In the Mood" swing concert showcased new musical talent in the form of the Unified Jazz Ensemble, an instrumental sextet. Green introduced the sextet: Michael Noonan on vibraphone, Jeff Antoniuk on tenor sax, Chad Macala on baritone sax, Kevin Watt on trumpet, John Pineda on bass and Marty Morrison on drums.They played a medley of Duke Ellington tunes that featured "Take the A Train" with a verve that made Ellington centennial concerts I've heard this year pale in comparison.

North American Boxing Federation junior welterweight king Reggie Green quickly got over a case of the jitters and moved considerably closer to a world championship bout with an impressive third-round knockout of Mexico's Jesse Rodriguez last night before a sellout crowd of 2,200 at the Pikesville Armory.Referee Bill Holmes did not bother to count over Rodriguez after Green (29-2) sent him crashing to the canvas with a short left hook flush on the chin.Neurologist Steve Manekin had to be summoned to administer to Rodriguez (33-13)

She has stood in front of the mirror, trying to practice her new smile. Because Linda Welch-Green can't afford the dentist, she has lost three front teeth. And Bell's palsy has paralyzed the right side of her face, so she struggles to pronounce words that start with "P." She never used to miss annual medical check-ups, but now she pretends not to notice when the dates slip by.Green, 50, hasn't had health insurance for two years. Even though she is working full time, as a cashier at a downtown garage near Port Discovery, the Baltimore woman can't afford the $200 a month to cover herself and her 13-year-old son.She tries to make do."

It is 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, and Navy's defensive coordinator is sitting where he always sits. Buddy Green is in a chair inside the defensive staff room, his feet up on a table and a pair of reading glasses perched on his nose. Assistant Joe Speed, who coaches the Midshipmen's secondary, sits on his right, and the two men quietly go about studying film and drawing up alignments. "Anytime of the day you can come by and I'm in that chair. Four in the morning, and I'm there," said Green, who's in his third decade as a college coach.

Baltimore's music scene has rarely been more high profile. In the past few years, local music has been praised in magazines, released on high-profile record labels and played on radio stations here and abroad. Now, a song from Baltimore-based rocker Elise Major is featured on a new video game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Released this week, the application, "Tap Tap Revenge 3" is modeled after franchises such as "Guitar Hero." Gamers touch the screen with their fingers to play along with notes and chords in the song.

PITTSBURGH -- Schussing through ersatz Alps on mock bobsleds, riders on the Bayern Kurve tend to hang on for dear life rather than study the brightly colored lights illuminating the thrill ride at Kennywood. The bulbs shine in a variety of hues, but they're all green to the operators of this historic amusement park on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. In a bid to see if anyone notices, the traditional incandescent lights on this ride and another at Kennywood have been replaced by LED ones, saving money on the park's hefty power bill and greatly reducing the frequency with which the bulbs burn out and need replacing.

Atop the National Aquarium in Baltimore, away from the crowds, is a hidden oasis where the turtles and lizards sometimes come to bask in the sun. Their caretaker says it's also a nice spot for wild birds - and him, too. The 4,000-square-foot "green roof," a 4-inch deep collection of soil and succulent plants over a rubber liner, has been serving many purposes since it was built in 2004. Besides acting as an urban refuge, it's helping cut utility bills and control rainwater into the harbor.

Rachel A. Green, a homemaker and former longtime Northwest Baltimore resident, died Sunday of multiple organ failure at Northwest Hospital Center. She was 74. Rachel Alberta Murphy was born and raised in Washington. She was a graduate of public schools and attended Cortez Peters Business School. Mrs. Green moved to Baltimore and was married to Samuel William Green Jr., a career noncommissioned Navy officer, who died in 1984. Until moving to Catonsville five years ago, Mrs. Green lived for many years on Shirley Avenue.

The City Council is right to question what Baltimore Inspector General Hilton L. Green has been up to for the last two years. His office gets $500,000 a year to root out corruption, yet he's only filed one annual report, which boils down to finding a few thousand dollars worth of misappropriated funds. With those resources, anyone who can't find more than that in a city government that's spent $4 billion during that time must not be looking very hard. Mr. Green says his office has tackled important issues not reflected by the statistics, among them allegations of cheating on Fire Department promotion exams and complaints about falsified parking tickets, and he has organized workshops on workplace violence for city employees.

The inspector general's office is an obscure Baltimore agency, but it is the only one whose funds were slashed this week by the City Council, even as it backed away from plans to trim other offices. Intended as a watchdog that roots out waste, fraud and abuse in city government, the office, headed by Hilton L. Green, instead has developed a reputation for being unproductive - leaving its $500,000 budget a prime target for cuts. Questions about Green's office began circulating at City Hall shortly after he released his office's first annual report in February - a year and a half late and light on accomplishments.

The Baltimore inspector general has issued a new report on the death of Robert Lee Clay, a prominent local businessman and minority business advocate whose May 2005 death, officially ruled a suicide, has been viewed with suspicion by family members and community leaders. But the mystery continues because the inspector, Hilton Green, would not say what he found. Green, whose job charges him with investigating waste, fraud and abuse in Baltimore, spent the past 5 1/2 months interviewing people he said were not available or willing to talk to city homicide investigators when they initially investigated the death.
