Deputy state fire marshals on Sunday arrested a Joppa man who they believe set two small fires in a woman's apartment after getting into an argument with her. The Office of the State Fire Marshal said Ryan Lawrence Spann, 28, argued with a woman living at 209 Foxhall Drive, an apartment complex in Bel Air, before the woman left. Deputies said Spann then set two fires in the apartment with "ordinary household items," which the woman discovered when she returned home about 1 a.m. Sunday to smoke alarms sounding.

Lawrence W. "Larry" Simns Sr., a fourth-generation waterman and longtime advocate for the Chesapeake Bay and those who make their living from its waters, died Thursday of bone cancer at his Rock Hall home. He was 75. "Larry stood sentry for the watermen of the Chesapeake Bay for over 40 years and courageously carried their banner into the 21st century," Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski said in a statement. "He fought to preserve their traditions and their opportunity to work on the water like their forefathers," she said.

On April 25, 2003, WILLIAM JOSEPH LAWRENCE; dear son of the late Henry Young and Elizabeth Jane (nee Westbury) Lawrence; beloved husband of Ethel V. (nee Payne); devoted father of Patricia Parks and Elizabeth Thornton; dear brother of Florence Clark, Adeline Milligan of Chicago, IL., and the late Corrine, Maurice and Clarence Lawrence; loving grandfather of eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; dear brother-in-law of Loretta Anders, Dorothy Owens, Delta Hinkle and James Shortridge.

Being snubbed might have been the best thing to happen to Ben Affleck. His film “Argo” took the best picture Oscar on Sunday night at the 85 th Academy Awards - more than a little solace, perhaps, for being snubbed in the directing category. Other marquee winners were Daniel Day-Lewis for lead actor for “Lincoln,” Jennifer Lawrence for lead actress for “Silver Linings Playbook,” and Ang Lee for director for “Life of Pi,” which won four Oscars, the most for any film.

In the course of a five-minute interview before the assembled Hollywood press, Best Actress Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence dropped the f-bomb without dropping the f-bomb, denied falling on purpose as she approached the Oscar stage and acknowledged having a quick drink before the show. But that didn't explain her tumble on the way up the stairs of the Dolby Theatre. Lawrence, who endearingly always seems to work without a filter when being interviewed, laughed that she was providing everyone with ammunition for making fun of her. But she didn't really seem to mind, laughing almost continuously and generally just having a blast.

Jennifer Lawrence may be the best thing going for books this year. She helped propel the adaptation of "Silver Linings Playbook," and is starring in "Catching Fire," another Hunger Games movie. (Not to mention her role in screen versions of the X-Men comics .) Entertainment Weekly's look at "Catching Fire," the latest installment of the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins highlights the flexibility of star Jennifer Lawrence. On the EW cover, she sports a futuristic jump suit and quiver of arrows, part of her battle gear in the fight for Panem.

Lawrence E. Paradis, a retired cameraman whose career with WMAR-TV spanned nearly four decades, died Saturday of lung cancer at his Kingsville home. He was 87. Lawrence Ernest Paradis was born and raised in Groton, Conn., where he graduated in 1943 from Fitch High School. After high school, Mr. Paradis enlisted in the Marine Corps and he served in the Pacific theater as a radio operator. He fought at Peleliu and the Philippines and, near the end of the war, was attached to the fabled 6th Marine Division, helping to secure Tokyo Bay. Discharged with the rank of corporal in 1946, Mr. Paradis moved to Chicago, where he enrolled in the Lee De Forest Radio and Television School, earning his FCC radio and television licenses.

The senior forward led the No. 2 Seahawks (15-1-1) to the Class 4A East region champioinship with four goals and an assist in wins over Anne Arundel County rivals Broadneck and Severna Park. In Wednesday's 4-2 semifinal win over No. 8 Broadneck, Lawrence finished with two goals. In Saturday's region title game against defending state champon and No. 4 Severna Park, she scored two goals and then assisted on Jennie Mulligan's goal in overtime that gave South River a 3-2 win. A four-year varsity player and captain, Lawrence has 20 goals and 14 assists in 17 games this season.

Lawrence Hughes, a decorated Baltimore Fire Department lieutenant, died of cancer Oct. 8 at the Gilchrist Hospice in Towson. He was 64 and lived in Bel Air. Born in Baltimore and raised in Gardenville, he attended St. Anthony Parochial School and was a 1966 City College graduate. He earned a business degree at the University of Baltimore. He initially worked at the old Mercantile-Safe Deposit and Trust Co. but changed careers. He was appointed to the Fire Department in 1974. He had assignments at Engine Company No. 52 near Druid Hill Park, Engine No. 29 on Park Heights Avenue and Truck Company 26 on Brehms Lane.

Brian Lawrence confirmed that he has been fired as editor-in-chief at Baltimore's STYLE magazine after 10 years in that job. His relationship with the publication actually extended back 20 years, since he served as creative director for Blue Sky Design for a decade while Style was one of its clients. In that capacity, he was essentially the creative director of the magazine before he was named editor. Lawrence declined comment on his departure from the magazine last week. But he said he hoped to stay in the Baltimore-Washington area and was looking for a new position.

Joseph Lawrence "Larry" Bohlen Jr., who had been director of risk management for CSX, died Friday of multiple organ failure at his Rossville home. He was 76. Mr. Bohlen, whose father was superintendent at the old Glenn L. Martin Co. in Middle River and whose mother was a homemaker, was born in Baltimore and raised on his family's farm in Rosedale. Mr. Bohlen — who did not use his first name — was a 1953 graduate of Kenwood High School. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland, College Park and a law degree from the University of Baltimore.
