Constellation unit to be reviewed over complaint HARTFORD, Conn. - The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has agreed to hear Connecticut's complaint that two energy companies received more than $50 million for electricity that was never delivered, the state said Tuesday. State officials, including Gov. M. Jodi Rell and Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, said that Canada based-Brookfield Energy Marketing Inc. and Constellation Energy Commodities Group of Baltimore collected payments for electricity that it never delivered.

You had to be either a real pitching connoisseur or a card-carrying, long-suffering Orioles diehard to appreciate the beauty of the mound duel at Camden Yards last night. To be fair, the Orioles' interim manager should probably be included in that group. "These are the kinds of pitching matchups people want to come and watch," Dave Trembley said before Yankees-Orioles Game 2. The rest of the universe saw the game as Roger Clemens' latest chance at baseball immortality and saw Erik Bedard as the other guy. Clemens' quest to be the second major league pitcher in the past eight decades to win 350 games was thwarted.

LOS ANGELES -- As MTV's Logo blows out the candles on its one-year anniversary cake next week, the basic cable channel dedicated to entertainment for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender audience can confidently celebrate a year of solid growth. Viewership is at 20 million - up from 13 million at the start - leading to major advertisers coming on board within the past six months. "It has exceeded our expectations," said Logo President Brian Graden, also president of MTV Networks Music Group Entertainment.

IT MIGHT be hard to believe, given the Orioles' ongoing collapse, but their name and uniform do still stand for something. You don't play 52 seasons in the major leagues without becoming an enduring symbol of professionalism, win or lose. The people running the Orioles should think about that as they contemplate Rafael Palmeiro's scheduled return next week. Are they really still going to have a day honoring Palmeiro at Camden Yards on Aug. 14, just a few days after he returns from the most high-profile steroid suspension in baseball history?

Advancis Pharmaceuticals Corp., reeling from the loss last month of a lucrative licensing deal, cut 18 percent of its work force yesterday and announced other steps to reduce spending and conserve cash. "While it is a difficult decision to reduce our staff, we believe these actions are needed to strengthen Advancis' financial position and enhance our potential for long-term success," said Edward M. Rudnic, chairman, chief executive and president of the Germantown company. Advancis' shares fell 4 cents yesterday to close at $2.62, nearly 74 percent below their October 2003 initial public offering price of $10 per share.

The celebration started early last night in Pylesville. With the North Harford girls basketball team well on its way to a 51-36 victory over C. Milton Wright, the crowd turned its attention to the Hawks' bench, where Lin James sat, just seconds away from her milestone 500th career coaching victory. A chant of "That's 500" started and the crowd, which included many of the North Harford coach's former players over the past 35 years, gave James a standing ovation. Never one to welcome the individual attention, James finally stood up from the bench, gave a thumbs-up sign and acknowledged the cheers.

NEW YORK - The waiting had to be the hardest part. Roger Clemens spent the past three weeks battling the fates, the flu and the elements, but he finally registered his 300th career victory last night against the St. Louis Cardinals at Yankee Stadium. Clemens pitched 6 2/3 strong innings in his fourth attempt at the landmark victory and adorned his historic night with yet another milestone - becoming only the third pitcher in major league history to amass 4,000 strikeouts when he whiffed Cardinals shortstop Edgar Renteria in the second inning.
