Phil Miller covered three seasons of Twins baseball, but that was at a different ballpark for a different newspaper. Now Miller returns to the baseball beat after joining the Star Tribune as the Gopher football writer in 2010, and he won't miss the dingy dome for a minute. In addition to the Twins and Gophers, Miller covered the Utah Jazz and the NBA for six years at The Salt Lake Tribune.
Three additional thoughts after the Twins' sixth walk-off loss of the season:
WE WON'T SPEAK OF IT AGAIN: I'm not particularly superstitious, but when Alex Gordon's home run cleared the right-field wall Tuesday night, I somehow felt responsible. Before the game, I was chatting with Glen Perkins, who is about as accessible and accommodating a player as I've ever covered. The topic? Blown saves. I brought up an odd statistic that I discovered over the weekend: The Twins were 8-7 during his career in games in which he was charged with a blown save. He said he noticed the same thing, that he had a tendency to leave games tied when he had a bad one, but not put his team behind. In fact, Perkins said, he had only given up one walk-off hit in his career, a home run by Brandon Inge in 2011. (I looked it up: Sept. 10 in Detroit, when Inge connected in a 2-2 game.) He was laughing at the fact that he didn't realize it was a walk-off at the time; he was about to ask for a ball from the umpire and noticed his teammates heading for the dugout. It was a nice anecdote that I filed away for later -- though not much later, as it turned out. As reporters walked up to his locker after the game, Perkins was telling somebody that it was my fault. Fortunately, he was just kidding. "That's baseball," he said.
THE PITCHER THEY EXPECTED: After all he's been through this summer, the elbow injury and probably the worst overall performance of his major-league career and a couple of rough starts since returning, I thought Ricky Nolasco might feel relieved about his seven shutout innings tonight. Even Ron Gardenhire called it the best outing he's seen from his Opening Day starter. But Nolasco said he's always made a point to be the same person in good times and bad, because "in this game, you know you're going to have ups and downs," he said. "Obviously, I haven't thrown the way I wanted to ... but everything happens for a reason. I take it all in stride." He might not be relieved, but it's a good bet that Gardenhire and the rest of the organization, which made Nolasco the highest-paid free agent in Twins history with a $49 million contract last winter, probably are. This was the pitcher they hoped they were getting.
FLU BUGS AND AN OLD FRIEND: Ron Gardenhire is suffering from the flu, and so are a lot of other people in the clubhouse, apparently. Nolasco said he was so sick on the mound, he almost asked out of the game in the third inning, but got stronger as he went on. It will be interesting to see if the lineup, which has been so steady this month -- the top four hitters in the Twins' lineup have been identical for the past 15 games -- gets shaken up tomorrow. On the other hand, Brian Dozier had the big hit tonight, a double that produced Minnesota's only run, Joe Mauer extended his road hitting streak to 10 games with a clutch RBI single, and the rookies just keep hitting -- a single apiece tonight, giving Danny Santana a 10-game hitting streak of his own. The Twins face a familiar face tomorrow: righthander Liam Hendriks, lost on waivers last December.
Twins prospect Byron Buxton, who missed most of the 2014 regular season with two separate wrist injuries and then a concussion in his first game after being promoted to Class AA New Britain, is on the tentative roster the Twins have supplied of players they hope will participate in the Arizona Fall League.
The Arizona League is a testing ground for prospects, and this fall will have 26 former first-round draft picks playing.
The Twins' tentative roster for the Salt River Rafters includes three outfielders: Buxton, Max Kepler and Eddie Rosario. Those three each played last year in the AFL. The Twins are also sending four pitchers: Jason Adam, Mason Melotakis and Taylor Rogers.
Meanwhile, in Kauffman Stadium, the Twins will try to tighten up the AL Central race by beating the Royals, something that hasn't been done much lately. K.C. lost a makeup game to the Yankees last night, the first time all month that it has lost back-to-back games. Danny Duffy, who limited the Twins to three runs, two of them earned, when he faced them 10 days ago, starts against Ricky Nolasco, whose last win came on July 1.
Here are the lineups for the first of three games in Kansas City:
Santana CF / Dozier 2B / Mauer 1B / Vargas DH / Arcia RF / Plouffe 3B / Suzuki C / Escobar SS / Schafer LF. Nolasco RHP
Dyson CF / A. Escobar SS / Gordon LF / Butler 1B / Perez C / Willingham DH / Moustakas 3B / Cain RF / Colon 2B. Duffy LHP
Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe and center fielder Danny Santana were named AL co-players of the week for the period ending Aug. 24. The only other Twins player to win a weekly honor this season was Chris Colabello, who won on April 7.
Plouffe batted .367 (11-for-30) for the week with five doubles, two homers, 10 RBI and six runs scored. Santana batted .378 (14-for-37) with two doubles, two triples, one homer, six RBI and seven runs scored. It was the first weekly honor for both players.
Plouffe has already established career highs this season in doubles (37), triples (two), RBI (65) and runs scored (57). Santana is tied for the AL rookie lead in triples (six), is third in runs scored (48), fifth in hits (93), tied for fifth in extra-base hits (29) and sixth in doubles (17) and RBI (34).
Four spare thoughts from a soggy Sunday afternoon:
THEY NEEDED MORE: As Max Scherzer's pitch count rose and rose, as he stood in the hot sun for 20 minutes or more at a time, it felt like it was only a matter of time before Scherzer would be gone and the Twins could feast on the Tigers' weary bullpen. That's what made Kyle Gibson's subpar outing so disappointing -- all they needed was for him to keep the game close and keep the Twins' own tired pen from being called upon. He couldn't do it, and was knocked out after getting 14 outs, his shortest start since July 4. Worst of all were the two walks he issued after Victor Martinez's impressive tie-breaking single. Gibson had thrown almost 40 fewer pitches than Scherzer at one point, but gave the advantage back and actually didn't go as deep into the game as the Tiger starter. The battle with Martinez was a classic, though; eight pitches, with the DH spoiling five of them to stay alive. But the game was there for the Twins, had Gibson given them just one or two more outs. (By the way, on paper, the series went about as expected: The Twins lost to Detroit's inexperienced starters, then lost to Justin Verlander and Scherzer. That overlooks how winnable both of the losses were, though.)
LEAVING THEM ON: The score was 7-3 in the sixth when the Twins' problems with runners in scoring position struck again. A hit batter, a walk and Danny Santana's single loaded the bases with one out, but the Twins were coincidentally sending up two of their worst hitters in that situation. Brian Dozier, is 1-for-8 with the bases loaded; he hit a fly ball to left that was too shallow to advance any runners. Then came Joe Mauer, who somewhat strangely is 1-for-7 this season with the bases loaded and two outs. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus brought in left-hander Phil Coke to face Mauer, and the count got to 3-2 before Coke fooled the Twins' first baseman. Expecting something that would break toward the dirt, Mauer instead got a high fastball that seemed to rise as it neared the plate. Mauer swung and missed at the 95-mph pitch, and the Twins' best chance was gone.
FLY BALLS AN ADVENTURE: I know Twins fans were spoiled by the consistent excellence of Denard Span and Ben Revere in the outfield, and Torii Hunter before them. It seems like there was a spectacular play at least once a series, and that's a lot to expect of outfielders. But it seems as though the Twins have gone through about as bad a stretch of outfielding as I can remember lately, with dropped fly balls, a consistent inability to catch balls at the fence, and the occasional terrible decision. Oswaldo Arcia was guilty of the latter on Sunday, choosing to make an awkward slide about 10 feet from where Torii Hunter's line drive came down. The slide allowed the ball to bounce past him to the wall, and turned a one-run single into a three-run triple. He's 23 and still learning, just as Danny Santana is 23 and playing center field for the first time; both should improve, and both provide enough offense to make it worth having them out there. But whew, there are times, and way too many of them lately, when you feel for the pitchers.
IS IT OVER YET? I heard plenty of grumbling about home plate umpire Eric Cooper and his strike zone, but it wasn't the umpire who made Sunday's game last an interminable four hours. The pace was just excruciating, and I was wondering in the sixth and seventh innings -- already more than three hours into the game -- how many fans had nodded off in the 85-degree, humid weather. This is the sort of game that loses fans, that convinces young people used to instant entertainment, to look elsewhere. I commend the 23,983 who witnessed the longest nine-inning game in Twins history, especially the 7,000 or so who were there at the end.
As if the upcoming week isn't hard enough -- the Twins have seven road games against first-place teams directly ahead -- they first must deal with Cy Young winner Max Scherzer today in the finale of a four-game series with Detroit. Minnesota has gone 4-6 on this 11-game homestand at Target Field, but the bats have come to life this weekend; the Twins have outscored the Tigers 38-18 in the first three games, winning two.
Scherzer is a different matter, of course, at least when he's at his best. He's thrown a quality start in nine of his last 11 outings, he's second in the league in strikeouts, he's won four straight games against the Twins, and in his last appearance at Target Field, he picked up the victory in the All-Star Game.
Kyle Gibson, who pitched seven shutout innings the last time he faced Detroit, will oppose Scherzer, and the righthander gets a bit of a break. Miguel Cabrera tweaked his right ankle during last night's game, and Tigers manager Brad Ausmus has decided to give the two-time MVP an extra day off, to go with the one the Tigers get tomorrow.
The Twins' lineup is the same one that manager Ron Gardenhire has used, mostly, for the past two weeks.
Davis CF
Kinsler 1B
Hunter RF
V. Martinez DH
J.T. Martinez LF
Castellanos 3B
Avila C
Suarez SS
Kelly 1B
Scherzer RHP
Santana CF
Dozier 2B
Mauer 1B
Vargas DH
Arcia RF
Plouffe 3B
Suzuki C
Escobar SS
Schafer LF
Gibson RHP
A four-hour game and lots of storylines after the Twins' 20-6 win:
TIRED ARMS: The Tigers used seven actual pitchers on Friday, plus infielder Andrew Romine, while the Twins used six. That sets up a stressful weekend for both managers, who must find enough pitching to cover at least 27 more innings over a 28-hour span beginning at noon tomorrow. The Twins are in better shape than the Tigers, of course, considering their starter went deeper into the game, and no reliever threw more than 20 pitches. EVERY Tiger reliever threw at least 16 pitches, and two of them topped 30. Doesn't sound like a lot, but these days, that's enough to make a manager reluctant to call upon them. Tomorrow's doubleheader might include another big score, because if a game gets out of hand, both Brad Ausmus and Ron Gardenhire might be inclined to ask a pitcher (or position player) to keep pitching.
HAS ARCIA'S HOMER COME DOWN YET? It was a big night all around, considering this game tied the record for most runs ever scored in Target Field -- they beat Baltimore 19-7 on July 16, 2012, the only other 26-run game -- and the Twins became the first team ever to score 20 runs in this ballpark. But it was an especially big night for the youngsters in the Twins' lineup, a trio that went a combined 7-for-17 with two homers and seven RBIs. Kennys Vargas had a pair of doubles, Danny Santana homers and drove in four, and Oswaldo Arcia -- holy cow, did he put on a show. His second-inning double tied the score, and his eighth-inning home run was simply Thome-esque. It soared high above the playing field and initially appeared headed toward the parking deck behind the right-field stands. It finally came down and plunked the top of the State of Minnesota flagpole, the second time this week he's hit a pole. How is that possible? Arcia now has seven home runs and 20 RBIs in August. The franchise record for RBIs in August is 30 by Gary Gaetti in 1987. Arcia has another week to take aim at it.
SOMEBODY SAVE THE BALL FOR HIM: A couple of other amazing stats about tonight: The teams left a combined 22 runners on base. That floored me, as did the walks -- Detroit walked nine Twins, second only to the 12 free passes they received from Toronto on April 17, while the Twins walked only one Tiger, and that one was intentional. And with three walks and two hits, Jordan Schafer added 62 points to his on-base percentage, from .326 to .388. But perhaps my favorite part of the night came in the eighth inning, after infielder Andrew Romine, called upon as an emergency pitcher, allowed back-to-back homers, then somehow struck out Kurt Suzuki (who had no fun at all -- while the Twins collected 20 hits, he went 0-for-6). And as is automatic when a rookie records a first, it was accompanied by a press box announcement: "That's the first career strikeout for Romine." Broke us up.

Abbas-Dahlan spat undermining Fatah, bolstering Hamas
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH
Hamas cites internal dispute as justification for takeover of Gaza; dispute appears to be more serious than most thought.

The rivalry between the two men, which reached its peak last month when Abbas ordered his security forces to raid Dahlan's villa on the outskirts of Ramallah, has caused severe damage to Fatah and will only serve Hamas's interests, Fatah officials warned.
PA commission of inquiry: Dahlan helped poison Arafat
Abbas 'feels he's above the law,' charges Dahlan
Palestinian forces raid Dahlan's Ramallah home
Hamas spokesmen have already taken advantage of the public power struggle between Abbas and Dahlan.
Hamas is now saying that it was right when it staged a coup against the Fatah-dominated PA in the Gaza Strip in the summer of 2007. According to Hamas, Dahlan, who allegedly tried to stage a coup against Abbas in the West Bank, tried to do the same thing to Hamas prior to the Islamist movement's violent takeover of the Gaza Strip.
"The charges that Dahlan had plotted to overthrow the Palestinian Authority leadership prove that Hamas was right when it kicked Dahlan and all the Palestinian security forces out of the Gaza Strip," said a Hamas legislator from Gaza City. "This just proves that we were right when we said that Dahlan, backed by the Israelis and Americans, was seeking to stage a coup against the elected government of Hamas."
Many Hamas officials have not hidden their satisfaction with the growing tensions in Fatah, which has suffered from power struggles, bickering and internal fighting almost from the day it was established more than four decades ago.
The infighting in Fatah, as well as allegations of financial corruption and abuse of power, was one of the main reasons why Fatah lost the parliamentary election to Hamas in 2006.
The dispute between Abbas and Dahlan seems to be far more serious than many Palestinians had thought. What began as rumors about a personal dispute between Dahlan, the former Fatah commander in the Gaza Strip, and the wealthy sons of Abbas, Yasser and Tareq, is now threatening to divide the ruling Fatah faction.
Dahlan has many supporters in the Gaza Strip, including hundreds of former security officers who worked under him in the days when he headed the Preventive Security Force. Many of these loyalists are now threatening to break away from Fatah and create their own group in protest against the measures taken against Dahlan.
At the recommendation of Abbas, the Fatah Central Committee voted earlier this year in favor of expelling Dahlan from the faction on the grounds that he had conspired to topple Abbas.
A commission of inquiry set up by Abbas determined that Dahlan and his few supporters in the West Bank had purchased weapons, mainly from criminal elements amongst Israel's Arab citizens, in preparation for staging a coup against Abbas and the PA leadership.
The commission of inquiry, like the Central Committee, consisted almost entirely of Abbas loyalists and longtime allies. And since they all receive their salaries from Abbas, it would have been a surprise had any of the commission or committee members voted against Abbas's recommendation.
The expulsion of Dahlan was preceded with a clampdown ordered by Abbas on all his loyalists and institutions in the West Bank. Most of Dahlan's men, especially those who fled the Gaza Strip before and after the Hamas takeover, have been rounded up and held in custody without trial. Some have complained of torture at the hands of PA security officers in Ramallah.
Moreover, a TV station and several news web sites believed to be funded by Dahlan were ordered closed by Abbas.
But last month's raid on Dahlan's villa on the outskirts of Ramallah showed that Abbas was determined to finish off his bitter enemy for once and for all. More than 200 security officers belonging to various branches of the PA security forces participated in what has been described by eyewitnesses as a "commando operation" on the villa in the fashionable a-Tira suburb.
Although Dahlan himself was not harmed, all his bodyguards, aides and friends were detained. The PA police also confiscated weapons and armored vehicles used by Dahlan and his men. Shortly after the raid, Dahlan packed his bags and rushed toward the Allenby Bridge, not before PA security officers stopped his car and detained and assaulted his companions.
The clampdown on Dahlan has also been accompanied by a barrage of "leaks" from Abbas's office about the ousted Fatah operative's wrongdoings and conspiracies.
According to the "leaks," Dahlan has been involved in shipping weapons to Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi to help him in his battle against the rebels and the "poisoning" of Yasser Arafat. Other leaks emanating from Abbas's office have claimed that Dahlan was behind the unrest in the Sinai town of El- Arish, where Muslim fundamentalists and Beduin have been waging terror attacks on government troops.
Sufyan Abu Zaida, a top Fatah official closely associated with Dahlan, mocked the reports about Dahlan's alleged involvement in stirring unrest in Egypt and killing Arafat. Abu Zaida pointed out that Abbas's aides had also tried to sell a story according to which Dahlan was responsible for arming anti-government militias in Syria.
"What is happening to Dahlan has nothing to do with transparency or accountability or the rule of law," Abu Zaida noted. "Instead, it's all about a personal grudge and jealousy." He added: "Hamas today doesn't have to make any effort because there are people in Fatah who are doing the job for it by weakening Fatah." Abu Zaida and those who are familiar with Dahlan know very well that he won't give up easily. Dahlan has already come out with a series of serious allegations against Abbas, including squandering public funds.
Dahlan claims that Abbas and his associates are responsible for the fact that more than $1.2b. which they reportedly inherited from Arafat have gone missing. Dahlan has vowed to return to Ramallah to continue the battle to clean his name and prove that he is the victim of a conspiracy concocted by Abbas and a number of top Fatah leaders. Dahlan said last week that until now the PA leadership has not provided any evidence to support any of the charges against him.
Samir Mashharawi, another senior Fatah official and longtime friend of Dahlan, revealed that the rivalry with Abbas was nothing but a personal matter. He said that some Fatah leaders had reported to Abbas about a meeting where Dahlan allegedly said that the PA president was a weak figure and that his sons were exploiting their father's position to become wealthy.
Mashharawi said: "I personally sat with Abbas and talked with him about the measures against Dahlan. Abbas openly admitted that the reason he was angry with Dahlan was because he [Dahlan] had been badmouthing him and his sons. Abbas told me, 'your friend has a big mouth. He's been saying that I handed the Gaza Strip to Hamas. He's also been saying bad things about my sons.'"

The general disarray of her establishment is aggravated by the fact that Opal collects thingsanything that can be toted home in her little red wagon. Opal is also an optimist, for no matter how mean her lotor her "friends" Opal responds with unfailing kindness and an abiding faith in the goodness of human nature. Into her rather strange world comes Gloria, Bradford and Solomon, three purveyors of bogus perfume on the lam from the authorities. Opal's menage is the perfect hideoutand Opal, herself, might be the remedy for their shattered finances. They decide that what she needs is plenty of insurance, a rapid demise, and three beneficiaries named Gloria, Bradford and Solomon. Attempted murder wouldn't seem to be funny, but in Mr. Patrick's magic hands it is uproarious. The unsavory trio concoct an elaborate scheme to drop the ceiling on Opal's unsuspecting headbut she is in the cellar at the time; they try to drug her and set the house on firebut Opal's state trooper friend arrives at the wrong (or right) moment; a plan for a "hit and run" accident backfires. Through it all, Opal radiates kindness, affection and, strangely enough, gratitude. But the real clincher comes at the end. It seems that there was plenty of money around all the time; bags, barrels, and mooseheads full of it, in fact, and any friend of Opal's is welcome to as much as he wants. All they had to do was ask.

Jennifer Aniston is getting over John Mayer the best way she knows how -- by flying to his home turf of NYC and bouncing around town.
Trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and jewelry store Fred Leighton produced no awkward encounters with the ex.
I saw Fatal Attraction last night. Just sayin'
God, could she possibly be more pathetic? No doubt, she called the paps to tell them exactly where she would be.
It's a free country and a great city.
#3: Do you mean you love New York City?? Ugh!!! Not me.. I love California-- NOT 'CALI', EITHER!!!! How does the author of this know that is why Jennifer is in NY?? She needs to give up men for awhile.. Maybe see a shrink as to why she keeps picking "unavailable< emotionally" men... Just saying...
Give it a rest people; can't the woman walk up a flight of stairs without you sick freaks commenting. NYC is a big place, and she has been there many, many times. Is she supposed to avoid going to NYC because her ex lives there? Get lives people. Find a hobby or something.
If you want to get over someone , stay the heck out of there
town / area , delete the phone number , make NO CONTACT.
hanging in his turf , so they say , isn't the best . It shows that
you aren't getting over him . USE COMMON SENSE .
BEST you can do is , found a man who's your age , but
be cautious , don't take just any man . BE PICKY , like me .
It doesnt make you look good when you hunt for men all the
time , celebrity men especially , they're all taken .
Many men in celebrity world , been all used up , spreaded around
like an old sack. the saying goes , good men are married.
Yeah, because Mayer likes to hang out at both places!
Jennifer make a trip to Tucson, AZ.. We have plenty of nice men. Stay clear away form the Hollywood men. You'll find soemone when you least expect it! Come on over to desert of Tucson Arizona...
S-Rod in Tucson, AZ :-)
Really? You guys are actually turning this into a story? wow.
Yeah, because no one would EVER go to NY if their ex wasn't from there!! NY has nothing to offer!
My heart goes out to Jen she is always getting the shaf can't that poor girl find love she does not seek out attention otherwise she would have went public with the crap her ex Brad and that trap Anggie did to her now that was just mean I hope she can find someone to love her for her soon she deserves it !!!!!!!!!!
enogh with the corny white guys...you need some soul brother in your life...rock you like hurricane katrina...lay some pipe...steel python rapped around you...make u quiver...leave all these sunny side up dweebs who dont no therer way around a woman alone.....let them make out with there beer kegs and fantasy football...u need a real man...a big black strong gallant buck to hold on to.....stop messin with the pasty dorks
OH THIS IS DESPERATION! going chasing after a man that has no more interest in Anniston.
Girls, don't ever do that. big turn off.
NYC IS A BIG CITY!!!! STOP MAKING IT SEEM LIKE A BIG F*CKING DEAL! Sheesh!
You know she has made some bad choices, it's like she sets herself up in a way. Goes for models (gimme a break) actors with substance abuse/party issues, and then there's Brad. If she thought Brad had a sensitivity chip missing why does she hook up with this Mayer dude? She knew what his reputation was. Still she went after the guy, almost like she wanted to punish herself. If I were her .. I would adopt a child, start thinking about someone else and their needs instead of her own. And .. sorry but grow up. Just saying.
She's so there for him and that's good, because I find them adorable together.

Rosario Dawson attended the Montblanc Celebrates 90 Years of the Iconic Meisterstuck event on Thursday (April 3) held at Guastavino's in New York City.
The 'Cesar Chavez' actress donned her third jumpsuit in a fortnight, selecting a crepe Elie Saab blush-pink wide-leg piece with a tonal satin waist from the Resort 2014 collection which featured a train wrapping around her waist before falling behind her.
The colour is magic against her skin. I also love the styling, which included a pearlized Edie Parker clutch and gold open-toe platform sandals.
Trying not to be bugged out by the creases and the too-long pant length.

A MECHANIC claimed he only started dealing in cannabis after he was threatened at gun-point, a court heard.
Michel Webster Granton said the gunman threatened to kill him unless he took on a £14,000 drugs debt belonging to someone else and worked for them in order to pay it off.
Granton, 30, had already been supplying cannabis to friends on a shared basis for a few months before that.
Mold Crown Court heard how the matter came to light when Granton, of Princess Street, Connah's Quay, took a drugs overdose.
He was taken to hospital after swallowing pills, which he believed to be ecstasy.
But they turned out to be a compound of ecstasy named BZP which was in fact a class "C" drug.
A check of his mobile phone revealed text messages indicative of dealing in cannabis.
Granton admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis, a class "B" drug, and possessing 73 BZP pills for his own use.
He claimed to have found the pills in a park, explained prosecuting barrister Jayne La Grua.
In his basis of plea, accepted by the prosecution, he said he was concerned with the supply of cannabis between February and August of last year.
Until June he supplied a group of six friends, funding his own habit by selling what he had over to them.
But he claimed that between June and August he collected packages of drugs for a gang.
Members of the gang had attended at his address with a firearm and said he owed them £14,000.
If he did not pay the money and work for them then he would be killed and he said he took the threat seriously.
Interviewed, he said it was someone else's debt he had been forced to adopt as his own.
Simon Rogers, defending, said until last year things had been going very well for his client.
He had a good job as a mechanic working all over the world, including China and The Netherlands.
It was skilled work which paid well but life spiralled out of control last year which led to the offences.
However, he had been placed on a suspended sentence last year, was making good progress, and despite his convictions he was confident of obtaining work.
"He is a man who has gone off the rails but who is now back on track," Mr Rogers explained.
Mr Rogers asked the court to take an exceptional course.
Judge Philip Hughes said his basis of plea had been accepted by the prosecution.
That meant he would be sentenced for supplying cannabis to friends and then for a couple of months, after being subjected to bullying and threats of violence, he became involved on a different basis.
He also took into account his personal circumstances.
The defendant had recently attempted to take his own life but had since responded well to supervision .
Under the circumstances, he said he would receive a six-month prison sentence suspended for 12 months with a four-month tagged curfew to ensure he remained indoors between 6.30pm and 6am.

Violent storms cause problems across the region
Well it had to end some time and for many of us the heatwave came to a dramatic conclusion last night as violent storms swept across some parts of the region.
There were spectacular displays of lightning and thunder, coupled with torrential downpours.
Cambridgeshire was one of the worst hit areas: homes were struck by lightning and over half an inch of rain fell in some places. And for one family, a lightning strike led to a dramatic escape.

For the first time in 64 years, Dunkin' Donuts launched a dark-roast coffee at a store in Modesto, California. Dunkin' plans to sell this roast nationwide starting September 22nd. This will be the most significant launch since 2003 when Dunkin' introduced espresso, cappuccino and lattes. Dunkin's dark-roast coffee will be advertised as a smoother roast than other dark coffees on the market. Dunkin' Brands president of global marketing, John Costello, has said, "We saw an unmet demand for a dark roast product that had a bold flavor but a smoothness that's often associated with Dunkin' Original Blend."
The existing dark-roast iced coffee at Dunkin' will be replaced with this new roast at the locations that offer the iced beverage. The Dunkin' dark-roasted coffee that is bagged and sold in grocery stores however, will not be replaced with this newer version; it will remain the same dark-roast from when it was first sold in 2009 through a collaboration with J.M. Smucker Co. The new roast has been in the works for several years. Food scientists working with Dunkin' set out to develop a coffee that would cut out the bitterness known to be found in dark-roasts; Costello states, "It provides an alternative choice for our current users as well as new users who wanted a bolder flavor than Dunkin' original." The brand will spend millions of dollars marketing this new roast to appeal to a mass audience.

MI hospitals' collaboration makes for safer angioplasty
Angioplasty has gotten safer in Michigan through a model state project to reduce complications. The project is a 15-year effort through which the state's heart hospitals share data and insights about the best ways to reduce the most common problems of coronary angioplasty and stenting. The death rate from elective procedures is very low—one death for every 1,000 procedures. Started among five hospitals in July 1997, the project has grown to involve all 33 Michigan hospitals that perform angioplasty in the state. It is thought to be the largest and most comprehensive state registry of the procedure of its kind, one of more than a dozen regional quality improvement initiatives funded by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.

The "Croucher" (so named for his somewhat odd stance) was one of the most exciting players of his, or any era. A fast bowler good enough to be selected for England purely in this role, a superlative cover fielder, Jessop is best remembered for his thrilling batsmanship. To quote HS Altham "no cricketer that has ever lived hit the ball so often, so fast and with such a bewildering variety of strokes". By no means a big man at 5'7" and 11 stone, he was a powerful driver, fierce cutter and hooker, but could also play delicate late cuts and glances. In his best innings he scored at rates of close to 100 runs/hour. He debuted for his native county, Gloucestershire at the age of 20, and arrived at the wicket to save a hat trick by striking his first delivery in county cricket for 4. His great innings included 286 in less than 3 hours, 157 runs in an hour against the West Indian team of 1900, and famously, the century that won the Oval Test of 1902. Going in with England 48/5 he made 104 out of 139 in 75 minutes, taking England to an improbable victory. Originally a fast bowler, he strained his back when overbowled in his first Test match in 1899, and afterwards was less effective. As a fielder, the power and accuracy of his returns from cover combined with fleetness of foot made him the undisputed master of that position prior to the Great War. Named after WG Grace, he eventually followed him as captain of Gloucestershire, and later club secretary. Originally a school teacher, Jessop married an Australian met on the boat returning from the 1901-2 tour (his son later played for Hampshire), and in later years moved to London where he wrote and was secretary to a golf club. Due to poor health he retired young, but lived to over 80.

Wisden obituary
Gilbert Laird Jessop, who died at St. George's Vicarage, Dorchester, on May 11, aged 80, was famed as the most remarkable hitter cricket has ever produced. He had lived with the Rev. Gilbert Jessop, his only child, from 1936 till his death.
Born at Cheltenham on May 19, 1874, he enjoyed a memorable career in first-class cricket which, dating from 1894 to the start of the First World War, extended over twenty years. There have been batsmen who hit the ball even harder than Jessop, notably C. I. Thornton and the two Australians, George Bonnor and Jack Lyons, but no one who did so more often or who, in match after match, scored as rapidly. Where Jessop surpassed all other hitters was in the allround nature of his scoring. At his best, he could make runs from any ball, however good it might be. Although only 5ft 7ins in height, he bent low as he shaped to play, a method which earned him the sobriquet of The Croucher. Extraordinarily quick on his feet, he was ready to hit firm-footed if the ball were pitched well up and equally, when it was of shorter length, to dash down the pitch and drive. When executing leg-side strokes, he almost lay down and swept round with the bat practically horizontal, putting great power behind the ball as, thanks to strong, supple wrists, he also did when bringing off the square cut. Lightness of foot allied to wonderful sight made it possible for him to run out to the fastest bowlers of his time -- Richardson and Mold -- and at the peak of his form pull or straight-drive them with almost unerring certainty. No one ever approached him in this particular feat; indeed, nobody else could have attempted it with reasonable hope of success.
At times Jessop sacrificed his wicket through trying to hit before he got a true sight of the ball or judged the pace of the turf and, not unnaturally in view of the liberties he took with good length bowling, the ball which kept low often dismissed him. A batsman with such marvellous gifts that in half an hour he might win a game seemingly lost, he was a wonderful personality on the field and the idol of spectators who always love a fearless batsman.
Jessop's claims to distinction were not limited to the brilliancy of his run-getting. For a number of years he ranked high as a fast bowler and for a man of his pace he showed surprising stamina. Far more remarkable than his bowling, however, was his fielding, which might fairly be termed as phenomenal as his hitting and which was a matter of great pride to him. No hit proved too hard for him to stop and his gathering and returning of the ball approached perfection. In his early days he fielded at cover-point; later he specialised in the position of extra mid-off, standing so deep that with almost anyone else a run would have been a certainty. Jessop's presence deterred the boldest of batsmen from making any attempt. In short, such a fine bowler and such a superb fieldsman was he that, even without his batting ability, he would have been worth a place in almost any team. A man of engaging manners, he was a charming companion and, like most truly great men, modest to a degree.
First tried for Gloucestershire in 1894, Jessop established his reputation a year later when, among other performances, he hit 63 out of 65 in less than half an hour from the Yorkshire bowling at Cheltenham. He continued to assist Gloucestershire till the end of his first-class career and for thirteen years from 1900 he captained the side. By 1897 he had become one of the great players of the day, making 1,219 runs in first-class matches and taking 116 wickets for less than 18 runs each. In that summer he hit two particularly noteworthy innings - 140 for Cambridge University against the Philadelphians in 95 minutes and 101 out of l18 in 40 minutes against Yorkshire at Harrogate. In the course of the latter display he hit the ball six times out of the ground and some dozen times over the ropes. Until 1907 a hit over the ropes counted four; only a hit out of the ground earned six. Except in 1898 he regularly made over 1,000 runs every season until 1909, when a bad back injury sustained while fielding in the Test match at Leeds in early July kept him out of the game for the rest of the year. In 1900 he scored 2,210 runs and took 104 wickets and next summer his aggregate amounted to 2,323, including 157 out of 201 in an hour against West Indies at Bristol.
Among his 53 centuries were five of more than 200: 286 out of 335 in 175 minutes for Gloucestershire against Sussex at Brighton, 1903(he and J. H. Board adding 320 for the sixth wicket); 240 out of 337 in 200 minutes for Gloucestershire v. Sussex at Bristol, 1907; 234 out of 346 in 155 minutes for Gloucestershire v. Somerset at Bristol, 1905; 233 out of 318 in 150 minutes for An England XI v. Yorkshire at Lord's, 1901; and 206 out of 317 in 150 minutes for Gloucestershire v. Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge, 1904.
Four times for Gloucestershire he reached three figures in each innings of a match: 104 and 139 v. Yorkshire at Bradford, 1900, when the newspapers stated that, in the two innings he cleared the ropes more than twenty times; 143 and 133 not out v. Somerset at Bath, 1908; 161 and 129 v. Hampshire at Bristol, 1909; and 153 and 123 not out v. Hampshire at Southampton, 1911. He achieved the feat on another occasion, against Somerset in a friendly game organised for the opening of a new club pavilion. S. M. J. Woods termed this a remarkable performance on a pitch far from true and against professional bowling. Altogether in first-class cricket he hit 26,058 runs, average 32.60.
His bowling successes included 8 wickets for 34 runs v. Hampshire, 1898; 5 for 13 v. Lancashire, 1895; 8 for 54 v. Lancashire, 1898; 8 for 29 v. Essex, 1900; 8 for 58 v. Middlesex, 1902. All these were achieved for Gloucestershire except that against Hampshire, on which occasion he was playing for Cambridge. His wickets in first-class cricket totalled 851, average 22.91.
Jessop took part in eighteen Test matches between 1899 and 1909, thirteen against Australia and five against South Africa, and would probably have appeared in others but for the back strain he suffered in l909. He disappointed in Australia except for his fielding, and in most of the contests in England met with moderate success; but he earned undying fame in The Oval Test of 1902. There, under conditions considerably helpful to bowlers, England, set 273 to make to win, lost their first five wickets for 48. Australia looked to have the match in hand, but Jessop joined F. S. Jackson and in marvellous fashion hit 104 out of 139 in an hour and a quarter, paving the way to victory by one wicket for England. Twice he sent the ball on to the roof of the Pavilion and from another big hit was caught on the Players' Balcony by H. K. Foster.
Jessop went to Cambridge in 1896 and played for the University for four seasons, being captain in 1899. He accomplished little of note against Oxford in the way of batting, two innings of over 40 being his best scores on the big occasion, but he bowled to good purpose in two of the games, taking six wickets for 65 in the first innings in 1897 and six for 126 in the first innings a year later.
Besides his cricketing ability, Jessop was an allround athlete of note. He got his Blue as a hockey goalkeeper, but fell ill and could not play in the University match; came near getting an Association football Blue and played for The Casuals as half-back or goalkeeper. He also appeared as a wing-threequarter for Gloucester R.F.C. He would have played billiards for Cambridge against Oxford, but was gated and could not take part. In one week he made two breaks of over 150. He could run the 100 yards in 10.2 seconds and frequently entered for sports meetings. A scratch golfer, he took part in the Amateur Championship in 1914, was Secretary of the Cricketers' Golfing Society and for some years Secretary of the Edgware Club.
In addition to the visit he paid to Australia in 1901-02 under A. C. MacLaren, he went to America with the team captained by P. F. Warner in 1897, and again in 1899 when K. S. Ranjitsinhji led the side.
For Beccles School in 1895, when a master there, Jessop scored 1,058 runs, average 132, and took 100 wickets at a cost of less than two and a half runs apiece.
He served as a captain in the Manchester Regiment during the First World War from 1914 till he was invalided out with a damaged heart in 1918. Married in October 1902, he first met his bride a few months earlier during his visit to Australia. She died in 1953.
Tributes paid to Jessop include:
Sir Pelham Warner: "He was a wonderful cricketer. It was a great pleasure to play with or against him. It has been said that he was unorthodox, but no one watched the ball more closely."
Sir John Hobbs: "He was undoubtedly the most consistently fast scorer I have seen. He was a big hitter, too, and it was difficult to bowl a ball from which he could not score. He made me glad that I was not a bowler. Gilbert Jessop certainly drew the crowds, too, even more than Bradman, I should say."

Excellent property. Views are great we will be back!
Not To Be Missed!!!
Even with some outdoor activities like hiking affected by the worst outbreak of tiny black gnats in many years, we had a superb time celebrating our 40th anniversary in this gorgeous, rustic luxury lodge. Every nook and cranny invites you to sit and relax, read or just watch people go by. There are smores every night at your leisure, so many amenities you'd have to stay a month to enjoy them all, and an inviting and helpful staff willing to meet your every need. We stayed in a 1st floor 1 BR condo offered by delightful owner Margaret, not the 2nd floor unit pictured here, but liked the view even better.
Relaxing winter getaway, even for non-skiers!
This is our third visit to the Whiteface Lodge, and the second time we have rented through Margaret. Our experience has always been amazing and Margaret is incredible. She was able to accommodate our last minute request and we stayed in the beautiful 2 bedroom suite. This was my son's first visit and we all had a truly unforgettable vacation. I would highly recommend this property to skiers and non-skiers alike, as there are plenty of other activities available.

The stupidity of certain professional athletes never ceases to amaze me. Former Clemson standout and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Da'Quan Bowers was arrested on Monday morning for having a loaded .40-caliber gun in his carry-on bag at LaGuardia Airport in New York. Yes, you read that right.
NFL players are at airports at least twice as often as regular folks are at the grocery store, so you would think Bowers would know better. Even for someone who's never flown before, you would think they would have enough sense not to have a gun–a loaded one at that–in their bag trying to get through airport security.
It's like Bowers woke up on Monday morning and forgot how to be a civilized human. It's one thing if you forget to leave your pocket knife at home and have to give it over to airport security, but a loaded gun? And not only a loaded one, but a gun Bowers was illegally carrying.
Again, the stupidity of certain professional athletes is beyond mind-boggling. Bowers faces a minimum of three and a half years in prison from charges of two counts of criminal possession of a weapon on the second degree. Well, he'll have plenty of time to read up on airport security while he's away and the Buccaneers' pass rush won't be getting any better in the meantime.

The crew was working to lower a gas line, as part of the reconstruction of east Center Street in Bourbon.
An employee was using a backhoe struck a four inch main causing a leak.
High winds spread the gas around town, creating enough concern to prompt an evacuation.
The problem was fixed in about an hour and a half's time.

EPA releases fracking emissions rules
The standards, unveiled Wednesday, include the first federal air rules for hydraulically fractured gas wells, according to EPA. Required by the Clean Air Act, the standards will reduce 95 percent of harmful emissions from wells that contribute to smog and lead to health problems.
"By ensuring the capture of gases that were previously released to pollute our air and threaten our climate, these updated standards will not only protect our health, but also lead to more product for fuel suppliers to bring to market," EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson said. "They're an important step toward tapping future energy supplies without exposing American families and children to dangerous health threats in the air they breathe."
EPA will require all new fractured wells to use green completions by 2015, or technologies that already are widely used at wells to reduce emissions.
Colorado oil and gas producers already use the green completion technology based on state regulations passed in 2008, Encana spokesman Doug Hock said. The technology eliminates almost all emissions during the well completion phase.
Companies also use technology required by the state that captures 95 percent of emissions during the production phase, Hock said. Any methane that escapes means lost revenue, so it's in the best interest of companies like Encana to capture it.
Encana drills gas wells around Erie, which was found by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientist to have contained higher levels of some kinds of emissions than levels in Houston and Pasadena, Calif.

Sunny and mild conditions will be the norm for the next couple of days as Bermuda high pressure sets up shop over the western Atlantic.
Expect to see high temperatures today moving into the mid 80s as a more summer like pattern emerges.
Plenty of Atlantic and Gulf moisture streams into the region on the west side of the high pressure giving us enough moisture to touch off a sea breeze induced shower or thunderstorm each afternoon as we go through the weekend.

A man was arrested over the weekend for allegedly robbing a Subway in Newport Beach, a police official reported.
Edward Rendon, 32, of Los Angeles was arrested on Friday on suspicion of robbery near the Subway located at 2727 Newport Blvd. Police spokeswoman Kathy Lowe said at about 5:50 p.m., Rendon walked into Subway and passed a note to a store employee demanding money.
Lowe said the employee refused to give up any money and instead told another employee to call police.
"The suspect initially asked for three cookies which the employee placed on the counter," Lowe said. "The suspect then produced the note and fled with the cookies after the employee denied him the cash."
Rendon was taken into custody a short time later by police.
No money was taken in the robbery and no one was injured, Lowe said.
