Francis Scott Key did something in just 69 seconds yesterday that it could not do in 80 minutes last week -- score.No. 5-ranked Key (9-1-1) atoned for its scoreless tie at Middletown with a 5-0 whipping of the visiting Knights (4-4-2) yesterday. The romp was the third successive offensive burst for Key, which has scored 13 goals in its last three starts.Stephanie Lawrence, a senior midfielder, led the assault with three goals, followed by senior Megan Straehle and junior Kim Mathias with a goal and an assist apiece, and Natalie Crabbs with two assists.

Animals, just like people, can get sick at the worst possible times. But sometimes pets can't just twiddle their paws waiting for their vet's office to open. All night long and on weekends, when pets need vets, the animal ER is ready. We checked one out:Dr. Vyvian Lawrence, vet tech Joni Melvin and assistant Diana FTC Heaton are some of the workers we met at Emergency Veterinary Services in Lisle, Ill. According to Lawrence, the workers have one main job: "We try to rule out what's not happening - to make sure it's not any of the bad things."

Cows in the fields of the Naval Academy Dairy Farm in Gambrills graze lazily, unconcerned about the challenges faced by neighbors seeking to preserve the area's rural tranquillity at a time when continuing development appears inevitable.Located in northwestern Anne Arundel County, Gambrills has a rich farming history. The fertile land supported tobacco and dairy farmers for generations, its products sent to market via the railroad.Now large expanses of farmland are being sold for housing developments and shopping centers to support the greater number of families moving in search of open spaces.

Martin Lawrence's "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate" is a stroll down the boulevard -- "Sunset Boulevard," that is.At least as a director Lawrence shows a level of taste that has evaded him so far as a performer: His choice of the great Billy Wilder classic as a model upon which to construct his own first film both honors Wilder and enables him to distinguish himself with an astute and even courageous bit of filmmaking.The movie opens in direct tribute of "Sunset Boulevard," re-creating that film's most notorious stroke: It is, evidently, to be narrated by a body floating face down in a swimming pool, recounting the tale of greed, folly and ambition that got him there.

The Maryland Chiropractic Association has named Dr. Scott Lawrence, who practices in Elkridge, as its 1995 Chiropractor of the Year.The award was given to Dr. Lawrence at the association's convention last month."

These days, we seem to be reading more about the lives of writers than their actual works. Many of us are probably more familiar with the relationships of Ernest Hemingway, C. S. Lewis and Emily Dickinson than with their books.Phyllis Rose, in her book "Parallel Lives," about five marriages during the Victorian era -- of Thomas Carlyle, John Ruskin, John Stuart Mill, Charles Dickens and George Eliot -- notes that while we may disdain gossip as small-minded, we are at the same time fascinated by it, for it helps to tell us how to live -- and how not to live.

The phone rang the other day, and it was Jenny Lawrence calling from her home in New York City. "Walter would have been 92 this week," she said. The Walter she was referring to was Walter Lord, more formally John Walter Lord Jr., the author born and raised in Baltimore who sparked the Titanic craze with the publication in 1955 of his book, "A Night to Remember." Lawrence, an author and editor, recently published "The Way It Was: Walter Lord on His Life and Books," a memoir she assembled from unpublished autobiographical material he had left behind after his death in 2002, and tape-recorded sessions she had made and transcribed in the mid-1980s.

A year ago, Matt Lawrence was unemployed, a waiver casualty after the Chicago Bears needed to add depth at offensive tackle. Now Lawrence is getting a surprising number of repetitions at tailback behind Ray Rice, Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain at Ravens training camp, usually running with the second offense. Lawrence, who spent time with the Seattle Seahawks before landing on the Ravens' practice squad in October, said he's trying not to make too much of the arrangement. "I just expected to come in and compete for a position to play football," he said.

Sure, there are problems with TCM's annual 31 days of Oscar celebration, the period when TV's best movie station shows nothing but Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated films. For instance, do we really need to see 1936's The Great Ziegfeld or 1952's The Greatest Show on Earth again? And how about digging up a copy of 1933's Best Picture winner, Cavalcade, which is almost never shown on television? Still, it's days like today that make you want to give the programmers at TCM a great big bear hug. Playing two of the greatest movies ever made back-to-back?

Crawling along the floor in front of a Steinway grand, Michael Lawrence aims his camera at two hands busily moving across the keys to articulate complex baroque counterpoint. The resulting close-up isn't just about the actual pianist doing the playing. It says something, too, maybe even more, about the Baltimore filmmaker. Lawrence is trying to zoom in on nothing less than the enduring, inspiring genius of Johann Sebastian Bach. The film, known as the Bach Project until an official name is chosen, had its final shoot on Friday in New York with celebrated composer Philip Glass.
