Intricate patterns of Arabic calligraphy, boulders that seem to have been sculpturally halved, expressively potent sax improvisations - these are the disparate, but equally intriguing, results of a competition to honor artists in all disciplines who live in the Baltimore area. The first Baker Artist Awards, created by the William G. Baker Jr. Memorial Fund, produced three $25,000 winners chosen by jury: jazz saxophonist Carl Grubbs, sculptor John Ruppert and visual artist Hadieh Shafie.

Jazz musician Carl Grubbs has performed across Europe, South America and the United States and has received a host of awards over the years. But he says he can't think of any honor higher than the one he received Wednesday, when he was named one of the top winners of the first Baker Artist Awards program, established to promote Baltimore-area artists on the Internet and encourage more artists to move here. "I have a Web site, but there's no way in the world that I could think of building a Web connection like theirs," Grubbs, 64, said after the awards were announced.

Before the 2008 season started, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti told coach John Harbaugh, "If we win six games and we've got our quarterback and coach of the future, I'll be happy." But after the first-year success of Harbaugh and quarterback Joe Flacco, the expectations will be higher. Bisciotti envisions the Ravens as a constant playoff contender like the Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles. "It is virtually the only thing that you can look at and say that's the constant," Bisciotti said at yesterday's season-ending news conference.

The Kentucky Derby has been won by a handful of horses carrying odds of at least 50-1. Your two most recent U.S. Open golf winners? Non-immortals Geoff Ogilvy and Michael Campbell.
