Thousands flocked to the 5th Regiment Armory in Baltimore for a job fair Monday that featured government and private employers but few real job offers. Here are a few participants' views: Emory Proctor, 24, a graduate of Hampton University with a degree in business administration, has a job but is open to a new opportunity: "It's easier to find a job when you have a job. ... Right now, [in] my current position, I do pretty well. As I said, I'm with the financial services division, so, I mean, the people that are trying to invest, I do OK, but it's so rocky and up and down that you never know."

Parkville 171-pounder Yousef Mohamed says he tried out for the wrestling team at the suggestion of his ex-girlfriend. Judging from his success, he might want to think about getting over their "technical difficulties."

The 2006 Baltimore County boys basketball championship banner rests proudly on the gym wall at Woodlawn High on the side where the teams sit, and its presence sliced through Darrell Bryant like a knife. Bryant, a senior front-line player at Randallstown, was front and center last year when Woodlawn knocked off the Rams for the title, not only handing the Rams their first loss of the season, but also beating them in their own gym. "After that loss, I was feeling really salty," Bryant said.

When Diane Chriscoe moved into her two-story townhouse several years ago, she had little reason to fear for her safety and security. After all, the Woodlawn community was relatively safe, and her home had sturdy locks on the front door. She gave little thought to the 2-foot square panel on her second floor ceiling, the one that leads to a crawl space that's shared with the adjacent home. But a similar setup a few houses down proved deadly, police allege, and she and other neighbors now realize the threat that can come from above.
