TAMPA, Fla. - It was a clean run. Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Todd Yoder came virtually untouched through the middle of the Ravens' line to block Kyle Richardson's punt, which set up Doug Brien's 24-yard field goal midway through the second quarter. The play was one of many miscues by the Ravens' punt team, which, heading into last night's 22-10 loss to Tampa Bay, was one of the league's best. Against the Bucs, though, everything seemed to go wrong when the Ravens attempted to punt.

The Yoder and Prigel families have worked for generations on adjoining dairy farms in northern Baltimore County, their cows sometimes grazing in each other's fields. Now, except for arguments made in legal proceedings, these Long Green neighbors are barely speaking, and the wrangling is taking a financial toll. "When I started this, I budgeted about $500 for legal fees," Bobby Prigel said. "I have spent well over $100,000." Their conflict centers on the creamery that Prigel has built - but has yet to open - at his Bellevale Farm and his plans to sell organic products made from the milk his cows produce.

On top of one of the small hills in Dayton sits a brick house that backs up to a wooded preserve. For Michael and Hilary Yoder, it's offered a quiet place to unwind, raise children and operate a lighting business. From the breakfast area by the kitchen, walls of windows look out to the forested area and the wildlife living there. Much of the year, the choice evening spot is a wet one outdoors. The lower tier of the deck has a hot tub that seats six, and the semi-rural location of the home provides a great view of the night sky. "We go in the hot tub almost every night just to look at the stars here.

Just as they did in the 1980s, human ingenuity and Mother Nature are working together to solve the energy crisis. There is an Appalachian energy boom from West Virginia to New York, exemplified by a group of farmers and other landowners who expect to lease nearly a tenth of Maryland's Garrett County next week to natural-gas prospectors for $36 million. "People are coming out of the woodwork trying to sign people up" for drilling rights, says state Sen. George C. Edwards, who represents Garrett and Allegany counties in Western Maryland.

Salisbury sophomore Brett Yoder didn't play in last year's one-goal victory over Washington College in the annual Charles B. Clark Cup. In fact, it was the only game he didn't appear in all season. So he decided to make up for it last night.

It was Salisbury's fifth straight win over Washington College (12-3)
