It is astonishing that the idea of hiding a 300-space underground parking garage underneath Rash Field has taken this long to emerge. Better late than never, though, because this proposal makes eminent sense.The Inner Harbor along Key Highway, from Locust Point to the Maryland Science Center, is changing. The American Visionary Art Museum is under construction, the Baltimore Museum of Industry is expanding and the second stage of the HarborView high-rise complex is on the drawing board. Key Highway itself is being resurfaced.

For the second year running, Gypsy Queen bested the competition at the Tastes of Two Cities event pitting Baltimore food trucks against their Washington rivals. Baltimore's El Cuervo, which serves tacos and Korean fried chicken, earned second place, and D.C.'s Feelin' Crabby took third at Rash Field -- the new home for the event, which had its inaugural outing last year on the Westport waterfront. Souper Freaks was the winner of the United Way's Golden Carrot, a first-time award for the food truck with the healthiest item on its menu , the Five Seeds Farms Bronze Fennel and Carrot Soup, sourced entirely from local ingredients.

I was in the hospital for knee surgery and got a terrible rash on my back. The nurses said it was probably from chemicals used to launder the sheets. Is this true? It could be. These rashes happen "with enough frequency that we do see it. They're often due to the high amounts of bleach and whitening agents in the detergent" used in hospital laundering, said Dr. John Williams, a dermatologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Commercial laundries use much harsher chemicals than people use at home, he said, and these agents can cause contact dermatitis, a rash that in most cases is simply a reaction to an irritating substance but 20 percent of the time is a genuine allergic reaction, in which immune cells gear up to fight the offending substance.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. -- Trey Rash (Broadneck) turned a short reception into a 65-yard scoring play with 4:30 remaining in fourth quarter to give Western Maryland (2-1, 1-0) a 21-17 win over Gettysburg (1-1, 0-1) in the Centennial Conference opener for both teams.Rash grabbed Brian Van Deusen's pass at the Western Maryland 43, broke a tackle and went the remaining distance untouched down the left sideline. The sophomore wide receiver posted career highs of seven receptions and 143 yards.

Q: My daughter came home from sleep-away camp with an itchy rash on her chest, back and shoulders. Some of the spots are white, but it doesn't look like poison ivy.A: It sounds like your daughter has a fungal infection called tinea versicolor. The fungus that causes it (Pityrosporum ovale) normally lives on the skin but tends to thrive in warm, humid weather. The spots are white because infected areas of the skin do not tan. However, the rash may also appear as hyperpigmented (darkened) or scaly areas.

I've got a bad reaction on my hand between my thumb and forefinger that I think resulted from pulling an unknown weed. It isn't responding to my usual treatment, a concoction of tea tree oil, witch hazel and rose-water. This is a crusty, itchy rash, like a severe case of mango poisoning I had several years ago. When I fed my little dog mango, he loved it and gave me kisses on the side of my face. The resulting horrible rash kept me in my apartment for a week. Now I don't get within 5 feet of a mango, so that's not the problem.

ROCKVILLE -- Phil Gilberti knocked out Elkton's Jerry Rash 2 minutes, 13 seconds into the first round to decide the Maryland cruiserweight championship at the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza last night.The victory by Gilberti (12-5, 12 knockouts) avenged a fourth-round knockout loss to Rash (7-5-1) in April.On the under card, Baltimore's Eddie Van Kirk (22-6) was knocked down in the first round but rallied to score a unanimous decision over Kato Wilson (12-12-2) of the Bronx, N.Y.

It seems more than a coincidence that Hall of Fame trainer Charlie Whittingham and his handsome bay, Numerous, are only a few stalls removed from Rodney Rash and long shot Powis Castle in the Preakness barn.For 11 years, the old man from Sierra Madre, Calif., and the farm boy from Woodbine were linked in life like an entry -- the legendary horseman and his prodigal son."Rodney turned up at Santa Anita when he was 15, and talked my foreman into giving him a job as a hot walker," Whittingham said.

Get ready to roll. Baltimore and Washington's fleets of food trucks are squaring off again. Some 40 trucks, 20 from each city, are expected to attend the second Taste of Two Cities event on June 1, which is relocating from the Westport waterfront to Rash Field. Food trucks from Baltimore and Washington will compete in several categories. An overall winner will be presented the Mayor's Cup Trophy by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who performed the same honors at the event's premier edition, when Baltimore's Gypsy Queen was selected the best by a panel of judges.

Sufferers of chronic hives and rashes could benefit from a commonly-used asthma drug, Johns Hopkins researchers have found. Scientists found that a once-a-month dose of the drug omalizumab helped ease symptoms that standard antihistamines didn't. The drug was tested on 323 peple at 55 medical centers from 2009 to 2011. The subjects were mostly women and between the ages of 12 and 75. The participants had suffered with chronic hives and rash for at least six months and many had dealt with the condition for more than five years.

More than two dozen accidents Tuesday morning in the Baltimore area sent at least two people to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center and closed parts of slick area highways, and the National Weather Service was predicting that Wednesday could bring second morning affected by a wintry mix. Maryland State Police Sgt. C. Kess blamed "icy road conditions" from Christmas Eve snow, ice and rain for 28 accidents between 5:55 a.m. and 11:20 a.m.. Accidents occurred on I-70, I-95, I-83, I-795 and I-695, he said.

COLLEGE PARK -- After losing its third quarterback since the beginning of training camp, Maryland enters Saturday's game against Boston College trying not to allow its season to be defined by injuries to prominent players. Rather, the Terps (4-3, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) hope the remaining five games will offer a lesson in perseverance as they try to complete a turnaround from last season's 2-10 disappointment. But it won't be easy. The latest injury report included 28 players - more than a quarter of the team - and nine of them are certain not to play.

Baltimore County schools dealt with reported threats on three separate campuses Thursday morning, as officials worked to quash rumors and assure parents their children are safe. The schools were not placed on lock down and all the rumors proved to be unfounded, officials said. "It appears at this point that a flurry of rumors is circulating on social media," said Charles Herndon, county schools spokesman. "People are understandably on edge because of recent events and these threats are really playing on people's nerves.

Howard County fire officials are warning residents to be careful how they dispose of smoking materials in the wake of three cigarette-related fires at Columbia houses in the past week. On Tuesday evening, a deck fire in the 8400 block of Kings Meade Way caused an estimated $10,500 in damages. Later Tuesday night, a townhouse deck in the 7200 block of Procopio Circle caught fire and caused an estimated $4,000 in damages. On the following morning, another deck fire at a townhouse in the 6500 block of Pressed Gentian caused an estimated $1,000 in damages.

Rodney Rash was 15 and stubborn when he left his family's dairy farm in Woodbine in Carroll County to go to Southern California to learn the horse-racing business.A friend gave him a list of five trainers to contact. At the bottom of the list was the name of a legend, Charlie Whittingham."A friend told me to not even bother going to Mr. Whittingham. He wouldn't even take me," Rash said. "So, of course, I went to Mr. Whittingham first. I just showed up at his doorstep. I got to his barn really early, 3:45 a.m. He showed up 15 minutes later, and I asked him for a job. He sized me up and said he didn't have any work for me. I started walking away when I ran into his old foreman, Mr. Ed Lambert.

Q. To combat psoriasis and eczema, I talked my husband into taking some flaxseed oil capsules in the hope of ridding him of a rash that he had had for more than a year. Medications from the doctor, including prednisone, had done no good at all. Within two weeks, the rash cleared, and as long as he continues to take the capsules, he remains rash-free. Is it true that flaxseed oil can also lower cholesterol? Are there any other benefits associated with this dietary supplement? And are there any risks we should know about?

Warnings from local fire officials have stacked up in recent days, all noting the same thing: The Baltimore region is ready to burn. In fact, part of it already is. In the last few days, fires have roared through parts of several counties, forcing residents to be evacuated from their homes and crews to be posted at sites overnight to guard against doused fires bursting back into flame. On Monday, brush fires were extinguished in Carroll and Arundel counties. Few injuries and little damage have been reported, but acres of brush have burned, and teams of firefighters have crisscrossed the region under mutual aid agreements between jurisdictions, helping each other battle the flames.
