" said coach Kevin Healey. Once out on the field, however, McIntosh approached Simmons and said, "I'll take it; I have an idea."

MONTREAL -- You've heard the old joke about going to a fight only to have a hockey game break out.So perhaps it's fitting that in this, the cradle of hockey, the Blast and Montreal Impact would be party to a floor full of skirmishes at the conclusion of Baltimore's 25-14 loss last night.The wild scene, which featured jersey-pulling and hog-tying but few actual punches, was the culmination of tensions that had been building for most of the second half, in which Baltimore was outscored 17-7.

Three of the violations carry fines of $120 each, and the fourth a $520 fine.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Blast did just about everything it needed to do to win last night. Goalkeeper Khalil Azmi provided 22 saves and the team put up 17 points on the road.

Two early goals each by Jason Dieter and Franklin McIntosh amid numerous scoring opportunities and a strong late defensive effort gave the Blast a hard-fought 12-11 victory over the Harrisburg Heat at the Baltimore Arena last night.Clearly, the Blast appeared the better of the teams through much of the action, but it was a tribute to the plucky Heat that it would not go quietly.The Blast (13-15) pulled clear of Harrisburg (12-16), and with the win, coupled with Philadelphia's victory over Florida, was left in sole position of second place in the highly competitive East Division.

Tennille Stokes started planning more than a year ahead of her wedding so that she wouldn't have to draw from her savings. She's nixed a limo, planned the ceremony and reception in one location and reduced her guest list from 250 to 100 - and even contemplated a smaller ceremony with only a dozen people at one point. "I don't need a lot of flowers, I don't need a big DJ," said the Northeast Baltimore resident, engaged since April, as she perused the exhibits at yesterday's Baltimore Bridal Show with maid of honor Tenille Ross.

Like Michael Jordan, James Bond movies and Jay-Z, the Talking Head is back. The off-the-beaten-path music venue, which played host to a slew of local and national indie groups, will throw a reopening party Saturday. This comes after an unorthodox eight-month hiatus. The club's closing at the beginning of the year was the result of uncertainty over the building's future, manager Daniel McIntosh said. But the downtown venue is back for the time being, and plans are in the works to permanently secure its place in the city's music scene for years to come, he said.

The delegate sponsoring a proposed fee on development to help clean up the Chesapeake Bay has offered to give millions of dollars to local governments in an effort to win their support. In addition, Del. Maggie L. McIntosh, chairwoman of the House Environmental Matters Committee, proposed amendments to the Chesapeake Bay Green Fund bill that would allow exemptions for developers who limit runoff. The fee on construction projects -- backed by environmentalists, the O'Malley administration and House Speaker Michael E. Busch -- would raise about $130 million a year for programs to reduce farm runoff and storm-water pollution.

Final votes on a bill that would prohibit the creation of new ground rents, emerging as one of the major issues in this General Assembly session, are scheduled for tomorrow. Legislators in the Senate and House of Delegates gave preliminary approval yesterday to the ground rent bill, the first of what is expected to be a series of measures drafted in response to articles last year in The Sun detailing cases in which homeowners lost their houses over initial debts of as little as $24. The prohibition on new ground rents has met little resistance in the General Assembly, and lawmakers in both chambers moved it through the legislative process with little discussion yesterday.

The UMBC men's basketball team was having plenty of problems at home before last night. Then, youthful, talented Vermont came to RAC Arena and humbled the Retrievers from start to finish in every phase of the game. Freshman forward Joe Trapani scored a game-high 25 points to lead the sharp-shooting Catamounts, who dominated the boards and shredded the UMBC defense, as Vermont rolled to an 83-63 rout before 1,320. UMBC (6-11, 2-2) lost for the sixth time in its past eight games and fell to 1-5 at home.

Stockton, Calif. -- Former Blast coach Tim Wittman yesterday pleaded no contest to two counts of misdemeanor battery, almost six months after allegedly attacking two game officials after a Major Indoor Soccer League game.

Wittman will be allowed to perform the community service in Maryland. Wittman appeared in court with attorney Harry Hudson and avoided a jury trial with his plea, according to Keith McIntosh, deputy district attorney for San Joaquin County.

Four years ago, political upheaval was the name of the game in Northeast Baltimore's District 43. Then, freshly realigned district boundaries forced seasoned state politicians to defend themselves against a double-barreled threat -- challenging newcomers and a powerful peer pushed from a redrawn district into theirs. Two of the three incumbent delegates lost their seats in the fray. Now, Sen. Joan Carter Conway, who has represented the area in the General Assembly for nearly 10 years, is running again, allied with the Democratic delegates who won the last election.
