SAN DIEGO -- Casiano Santos was among the lucky ones. On April 9, 1942, U.S. forces on the Bataan peninsula and their Filipino allies, including Mr. Santos, surrendered to Japanese forces, and the death march began. Mr. Santos, a Filipino inducted into the U.S. Army 17 days after Pearl Harbor, escaped from the march on April 14.Seeking justiceHe joined guerrilla forces and fought with World War I-vintage Springfield rifles until suffering serious shrapnel wounds on March 27, 1945. Another Filipino guerrilla fighter -- he was 16 when he picked up his gun -- was Resty Supnet, who this morning is seated next to Mr. Santos, doing justice to a large American breakfast of pancakes and wondering, with Mr. Santos, why American justice has not been done to Filipinos whose fighting, according to Douglas MacArthur, saved America many dollars and lives.

A father who beat his baby boy so badly that the child was left blind and severely brain-damaged received a 30-year prison term yesterday from a Baltimore County judge who called the beating "despicable."Manual J. Santos, 27, formerly of the 1600 block of Bluffdale Road, near Woodlawn, pleaded guilty in July to child abuse and battery in the near-fatal beating last Dec. 21 of his son, Zachary Santos, then 4 months old.Assistant State's Attorney Susan H. Hazlett said the child was beaten at least three different times, causing two brain injuries, detached retinas in both eyes, numerous broken ribs and fluid in the liver.

Dr. Santos is honored for service to St. AgnesEllicott City's Dr. Arsenio Santos was one of five physicians recently honored at the 31st Annual St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Lecture at the Turf Valley Hotel and Country Club.Dr. Santos was lauded for 25 years of service to St. Agnes Hospital and the community.

Now he can say it. Twenty-seven years ago, when Dr. George W. Santos was honing bone marrow transplantation into a lifesaving therapy for victims of blood diseases, the odds were so low, "You'd have to be out of your mind to try it."But yesterday, this man with rumpled gray hair and a kindly grin looked across a room crowded with survivors -- 100 men, women and children who had been rescued from the threshold of death by a procedure that is now conventional."Who has the chance to be at the beginning of something and see all that's happened?"

The 12-year-old boy's harrowing story tumbled out: Tormented by a gang in his native El Salvador. Sent by his terrified mother to sneak into the United States in search of safety. Nabbed by Border Patrol agents in Texas. Told he'd have to go back home, whatever the consequences. Santos Maldonado-Canales badly wanted to stay, and now, sitting in a plush Baltimore law firm in August 2008, his hopes rested with an earnest young lawyer. At 27, Azim Chowdhury was two years out of law school and knew nothing about immigration law. A partner at the Duane Morris firm had given him the case as part of its mission to offer free representation.

A city crime lab employee left his own DNA on the pistol police say was used to kill an off-duty Baltimore detective, indicating that a recently discovered problem with contamination at the lab may be more widespread than officials originally believed. Evidence from the murder trial of Brandon Grimes was not among the 12 instances city officials identified last week in which lab employees introduced their own DNA into crime evidence. But lab officials testified yesterday that there are thousands of partial strands of unknown DNA in evidence samples - like the one recovered from the pistol in the Grimes case - that must be checked by hand.

As kids head back to school tomorrow, freshmen at Aberdeen High School may find the first day a little less daunting. During the summer, more than 100 incoming ninth graders got a look at the school, the upperclassmen and their peers, when they participated in the school's first freshman field day. With more than 400 new freshmen expected to attend the school this year, the event was part of a multipronged approach to improve freshman transition, said...

Triple-A Norfolk catcher Omir Santos, 27, said it would be easy to get caught up in the constant excitement around the team regarding players being called up from the Tides to the Orioles. "You always think about it, but you can't think about it that much," Santos said. "Because if you think about [going to the Orioles], you'll mess up here and start doing bad. If you do your work here, someone will sooner or later give you a chance [in the majors]." The native of Toa Baja, Dominican Republic, has taken his own advice since May 4, when he became the Tides' regular catcher after Chris Heintz went on the disabled list with a sprained left thumb.

Kenai Santos was seated in the back of a pickup truck, being driven home from a shopping trip by an older female friend, when, she said, she saw a woman appear in the truck's path. The driver of the truck, Lazara Arellano de Hogue, honked her horn but continued driving, Santos testified yesterday in court, and the woman in the street appeared to have been struck. "I saw her falling sideways," Santos said in Spanish through a translator. Moments later, the truck turned onto a side street and Arellano de Hogue removed a stroller that was jammed underneath the truck, Santos said.

BAD DAY FOR BIRKINS Making his second career start, Kurt Birkins was unable to get an out. Birkins allowed hits to all six batters he faced before acting manager Tom Trebelhorn removed him. Birkins was credited with six runs, with Alex Rios hitting a two-run double, followed by a two-run homer from Frank Thomas. Birkins then allowed a single to Aaron Hill and a double to Matt Stairs, leading Trebelhorn to bring in Rob Bell. Bell allowed a two-run single to Gregg Zaun, giving Toronto seven consecutive hits to start the game, a club record.

Bad debut This isn't the way Victor Santos wanted to introduce himself to the Orioles. Making his first appearance since the club purchased his contract from the Cincinnati Reds last week, Santos couldn't get out of the third inning. He left after allowing five runs - the last two on Vladimir Guerrero's homer - and seven hits. Santos threw 68 pitches in 2 2/3 innings. He was the 12th starter used by the Orioles and the 25th pitcher, a franchise record. Still dangerous Remember how badly the Orioles wanted to sign Guerrero when he was a free agent?

The Orioles' new starting pitcher lasted only 2 2/3 innings. Their new reliever all but thwarted their comeback by allowing a two-run home run in the seventh inning. And their offense squandered numerous chances with repeated failures to get big hits with men on base. The floundering Orioles assured themselves a 10th straight losing campaign with a performance that could easily serve as a microcosm of a season that cannot end soon enough. In his first start in the major leagues in more than a year, Victor Santos surrendered five runs and the Orioles never could dig out of the hole he created, falling 10-5 to the Los Angeles Angels before an announced 15,371 at Camden Yards.
