I read with interest Peter Schmuck 's article, "The Orioles keep winning, but where are the fans?" (Aug. 29). So where are the media? Where is the support from our local government? Both news broadcasts and print media in Baltimore give the vast majority of headlines to the Ravens. Most news sports broadcasts begin, "The Orioles won last night, but the Ravens…. " Even The Sun will usually put a color photo piece about the Ravens on the front page of the sports section, with a small piece at the bottom about the O's. And this happens even before the NFL preseason begins.

Mia Carolina has closed in Glyndon. The last day of service was Sunday. “We couldn't sell it and we couldn't sustain it,” owner Jay Cohen told The Baltimore Sun. "I'm grateful to everyone who was involved from the landlord to the last busboy. The customers made the restaurant what it was, and I thank every one of them. " Cohen opened Mia Carolina in 2005, taking over the old Mezzanotte Bistro space on Butler Road. He thoroughly renovated the space in 2007, changing the atmosphere from trattoria to semi-formal dining.

BY ANNOUNCING its intent to discuss normalizing relations with Vietnam, the United States has taken a significant first step toward healing a lingering national wound.The wound that won't heal concerns prisoners of war in Southeast Asia. Occasionally, grainy pictures surface in the news, stoking the fires of public shame over servicemen allegedly still held prisoner 18 years after war's end. During that period, there has been no easy path to verifying these sightings. Now -- finally, mercifully -- we may have the opportunity to put the issue to rest.

New York.--The first fight I had with my wife was in Paris in December of 1978. I have forgotten what it was about or what harsh things were said, but I do remember that one of us was holding a hair dryer and plugged it in while the shouting was still going on. It blew out the lights in our hotel room. Then I looked out the window and saw that every light in the city was out.I thought we had done it. The whole city! That's a fight!It was a coincidence, of course. A power station blew up or something.

WASHINGTON -- The Senate Rules Committee, responding to a flurry of recent claims that Americans are being held prisoner in Southeast Asia, voted unanimously yesterday to create a select committee to delve into the long-simmering issue of U.S. servicemen missing in action.Meanwhile, President Bush told reporters that there is still "no hard evidence of prisoners being alive, and for those who are unscrupulously raising the hopes of families by fraud, that should be really condemned."Some senators argued, however, that the government has failed to pursue vigorously evidence that Americans are still being held.

WASHINGTON -- As President Clinton moves toward recognition of Vietnam, administration officials and their allies are insisting that the POW-MIA issue should no longer be a barrier to normal relations between the two former enemies.They say Vietnam's cooperation in joint field investigations has been excellent -- and would go even more smoothly if the two nations had full diplomatic relations.They also say the most promising unresolved cases now number fewer than 100, and they point to Hanoi's recent release of documents pertaining to MIA cases.

If there is one clear message emerging from the sad, tawdry Woody Allen-Mia Farrow custody suit now being heard in New York, it's this: Neither Woody or Mia seems to have the slightest idea of what it means to be a parent.Nor, apparently, what it feels like to be a parent.There's little evidence, judging from the daily press reports, that either the self-absorbed Woody or the self-indulgent, child-collecting Mia is endowed with the quality that lies at the heart of the parent-child relationship: parental empathy.

The sheer number of Americans listed as missing in action - more than 73,000 in World War II, 7,900 in Korea, hundreds during the Cold War, nearly 2,000 in Vietnam, and even on today's modern battlefields - is difficult to grasp. Thus, it becomes a major importance when traditionally the third Friday of each September is set aside to honor those who have endured captivity as Prisoners of War or who have been or continue to be listed as Missing in Action. This year's National POW/MIA Recognition observance is September 21. We at the Veterans Administration's Maryland Health Care System want to take the time to say a special thank you to this group of veterans and pay special tribute to thousands of military families tormented by uncertainty due to the loss of loved ones whose whereabouts remain unknown.

Paul DeBoy may have a genetic inclination toward the stage. The Baltimore-born actor, starring in the national touring production of the perennially popular musical "Mamma Mia" that hits the Hippodrome this weekend, first revealed the tendency during his early years growing up in Woodlawn. "My brother used to write plays that I performed in the backyard," said DeBoy, 56. "They were basically rip-offs of 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.' We did them during muscular dystrophy [fundraising]

Federal regulators have given a thumbs-up to Maryland's plan for helping restore the ailing Chesapeake Bay, but say state officials still need to follow through with measures to reduce polluted urban and suburban runoff. Shawn M. Garvin, mid-Atlantic regional administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, said Thursday that nearly all the six bay watershed states and the District of Columbia have spelled out better how they intend to comply with the baywide " pollution diet " EPA imposed in December 2010.

Most of the participating theaters have been in Baltimore and nearby suburbs during the festival's 30-year history, but this year, Columbia is getting in on the act via the Red Branch Theatre Company's production of Colin Riley's "Web of Deceit. " Riley's absurdist comedy tackles a highly topical theme, namely, how the Internet is affecting our personal relationships.

In his sleep, John Claypoole sees the face of his friend who was shot down in a helicopter during the Vietnam War. He sees the face that eyewitnesses saw as the man was taken prisoner alive and never heard from again.In his battery-powered wheelchair riding from Rochester, N.Y., to Washington, Claypoole asks others to see that face and all the other soldiers missing in action from that war."People react, but I want them to remember," said Claypoole, who is leading a team of 15 veterans from each war since World War II in a relay marathon.

Mya Arulpragasam has a habit of scrunching up her mouth. In photographs, she often pulls her purple- or orange-painted lips into a hard-core rapper's sneer - or a punk's, a bit of old Sid Vicious creeping into the visage of this 30-year-old, London-born, frequently displaced daughter of Sri Lanka. It's not a pretty girl's look. Her voice, at the center of her continent-hopping, avant-garde, beat-happy songs, emerges from that wry face. It's not always easy to take or, for some, to take seriously.

Severna Park senior Rachel Mia hasn’t always taken the draws for the Severna Park, but in Wednesday night’s state Class 4A-3A girls lacrosse championship against No. 4 Westminster, she had the magic touch. Mia helped the No. 11 Falcons, who have struggled with the draw at times this season, win the first eight of the second half to spark a nine-goal run and break the game open in a 14-7 victory over the previously unbeaten Owls. "It was like draw after draw when we went into the second half, and we were getting them and getting them and it was goal after goal.
