When a man willingly jumps from 24 miles above the Earth and lives, there is going to be some buzz. On the heels of Austrian Felix Baumgartner's record-setting "supersonic" skydive from the stratosphere last Sunday, the skydiving community in Maryland is thrilled with what the accomplishment could mean for the sport's future. "I think everyone in our sport is enthusiastic about it," said Josh Dolan, the operations manager for the Ocean City Skydiving Center. "Everyone is really excited.

The simplest game has gotten awfully complicated.Leon Mach got turned on to soccer in the early 1960s. He wasn't formally introduced to the game until he was 9, and then didn't play more than 20 games a year, but he touched the ball seven times a week in the pickup games that were a daily ritual on the east side of Baltimore.It wasn't fancy, but it was fertile, since a club or college coach could drive Eastern Avenue from Patterson Park to Sparrows Point -- with a detour down Dundalk Avenue -- and put together several national-class teams.

For some Broadway aficionados, "Gypsy" is the ultimate embodiment ofshow biz -- "Curtain up! Light the lights!" and all that.But I must confess at the outset that this story of Stage Mama Rose, the domineering know-it-all who runs roughshod over the lives of her two marginally talented daughters, has never captured my enthusiasm or affection.Rose, along with her steel lungs, is a gratingly dysfunctional presence who manipulates and bullies those around her, even as her shunted-aside daughter Louise mutates into -- boom-chick-a-boom-chick-a-boom-boom -- Gypsy Rose Lee, the famed stripper destined to become "Hollywood Squares" fodder in her old age.I don't know, the premise just doesn't sing to me.Of course, with three songs that have become mega-standards ("Let me Entertain You," "Together" and "Everything's Coming up Roses")

The 52-year-old musician who was fatally shot by a Baltimore police officer Sunday night was sitting on his bed at the time and had refused to drop a weapon that turned out to be a pellet gun, according to the Police Department. Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said officers were called to Steve Mach's home in the 3600 block of St. Victor St. after his roommate called police to report that Mach was armed. The roommate said he was fearful for his own safety. Officers entered the home and went upstairs, where they found Mach sitting on his bed, Guglielmi said.

Prom season opens early at McDonogh School, with the invitation taking on as much import as the first dance step. One senior wrote a song, strummed his guitar and serenaded his girlfriend with a lyrical invitation to the event, set for Tuesday at Rams Head Live downtown. "I strolled around the library singing to people," said senior Dennis Chen. "Then I just pulled up a chair and asked Emma. " That would be classmate Emma Warden, who accepted her singing beau's well-orchestrated "ask," the students' term for these traditional invitations.

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. - NASA's supersonic surfboard, the unmanned X-43A aircraft, streaked into history yesterday, setting an unofficial world speed record for jet aircraft of Mach 9.6, about 6,500 mph. The aircraft - powered by an experimental engine known as a "scramjet" - was carried to an altitude of 40,000 feet under the wing of a B-52 bomber and released about 5:30 p.m. A Pegasus rocket booster accelerated the X-43A - rectangular, with...
