ONE of East Lancashire's most wanted men is waking up behind bars after being captured by police.
Police appealed for help in catching James Mark Gorman after he went on the run from HMP Kennet in February while on temporary release.
The 31-year-old, from Hazel Avenue in Darwen, was arrested after being found in Colne on Wednesday, May 28.
He was jailed for 60 days by magistrates at Burnley on Thursday.
Violent thug Gorman has had several spells inside, and has convictions for wounding, GBH, affray, and attacking a shopkeeper.
He was described by police as 'very violent' after attacking Don Jaconelli when the two brushed shoulders in High Perry Street, and jailed for an interminate period in 2006.
When Gorman attacked Mr Jaconelli, fracturing his skull in a frenzy described as 'ferocious, vicious and sustained', he was already on bail for beating up another man, leaving him battered, bruised, and unconcious.
Yesterday, police could not say what sentence Gorman was serving at the time he went on the run.
HMP Kennet, in Liverpool, is a category C prison, which houses offenders 'who cannot be trusted in open conditions but who are unlikely to try to escape'.
The prison also housed 51-year-old Thomas Moffett, from Blackburn, an armed robber who failed to return from day release last month.
He was arrested in Canterbury Street three days later.
He escaped with murderer, Arnold Pickering, 44, who was serving a life sentence for stabbing a disabled man in 1990.
A spokesman for HMP Kennet declined to comment. The Prison Service said it did not comment on individual cases.

Gough • January 9, 2015 Add Comment Total: 332 1 0 0 331 0 0 Prep Time: 15 minutes + 30 minutes soaking Number of servings: 4 Ingredients 1 14-oz. cooked sausage package (Hillshire Farms smoked or kielbasa works well) 1 large onion 2 peppers, red, green, yellow 1/3 cup barbecue sauce (optional) Bamboo skewers (usually around 9 inches long) Directions Soak 10-15 skewers in water for 30 minutes before adding the meat and vegetables and to prevent burning. Cut the sausage into 3/4″ chunks; cut the onions and peppers into 3/4″ pieces, too. Alternate the onions, pepper and sausage slices on each skewer, being careful not to overcrowd (which makes it cook unevenly) and to leave enough room on the end so that you can flip the skewer as it cooks. Preheat your grill or ready your oven broiler. Thin the barbecue sauce with 1/2 Tbsp. water and brush the sauce over the skewers once or twice while they're cooking. Cook the skewers 6 inches from the heat source on your broiler or with indirect heat on your grill for about 2-3 minutes turning at least once (maybe twice) to ensure all sides are heated through. Allow to cool a few minutes before serving.

Defending Wimbledon champion Serena Williams eased into the second round with a straight-sets victory over Mandy Minella on Tuesday.
It took the world's top-ranked player just 57 minutes to seal a 6-1, 6-3 victory over the 27-year-old Luxembourg native in front of a packed Centre Court crowd.
"It's really special coming out as defending champ, winning here last year was a great moment for me," Williams told BBC Sport. "Every time I step out on the court is a new match for me, I never think about what happens in the past."
DAY 2: Results | Radwanska strong | Djokovic eases into second round | 17-match losing streak
In the pair's first-ever meeting, Williams was dominant from the off, racing to the first set in a lightning-quick 20 minutes.
The American did not drop a single point on her own serve, suggesting that she was not in the mood for the kind of shock that sent home Rafael Nadal the previous day. Williams broke Minella's serve in the fourth and sixth games of the opening set to take the advantage.
Minella showed some resistance in the second set, holding serve in the opening game and then breaking the top-seeded Williams for a 2-0 lead.
DAY 1 RECAP: Results | Nadal stunned | Federer rolls | Sharapova advances | Photos
However, the 27-year-old was unable to keep momentum as Williams won the next four games and a final break of serve—secured through a powerful forehand that Minella could only hit into the net—sealed victory.
The win extends Williams' unbeaten run to 32 matches. Earlier this month, Williams won her second title on the Roland Garros clay surface of the French Open.
"It was definitely (tough) because of the surface changes," Williams said of returning to the grass courts of Wimbledon. "I played so many games on clay this year, and maybe the past few years I haven't played as many matches on clay, (so) making that transition to grass was a little harder than expected."
The two-time Wimbledon champion will face Caroline Garcia in the second round, after the Frenchwoman beat China's Jie Zheng 6-3, 6-4.

LILLE, France — Marcel Kittel sprinted to his third stage victory at the Tour de France on Tuesday, while defending champion Chris Froome had a scare in a crash that scuffed his left knee and elbow and injured his left wrist before a tough day ahead on cobblestones.
Vincenzo Nibali, who kept the yellow jersey, decried a "crazy race" in the 101-mile Stage 4 along the Belgian border as cycling's big event entered France after a three-day start in England.
Unlike his wins in Stages 1 and 3, when he made victory look easy, Kittel won by a half-wheel length at the end of the ride from Le Touquet-Paris Plage to Lille Metropole.
"It's never easy … (I was) lucky just enough at the finish line," Kittel said.
Froome, who fell early in the stage after a rider bumped another into Froome's front wheel, said on Twitter: "Took quite a tumble today but I'll definitely be starting tomorrow with no serious damage. It'll be a tough one for everyone on the cobbles!"
Peter Sagan also went down in a spill, and he too recovered to finish. Froome and two-time champ Alberto Contador are among 20 riders who trail Nibali by two seconds.
An aching wrist could mean pain ahead for Froome. The peloton rolls over nine patches of bumpy cobblestones Wednesday, which could make for a joint-jarring ride and prevent him from keeping his hands on the handlebars.
Many race experts believe Wednesday's 97-mile stage from Ypres, Belgium, to Arenberg Port du Hainaut, France, could offer the first big shakeout among the contenders because of the treacherous cobblestones.
"Tomorrow, we just have to make it through the day," Nibali said. "Let's hope it's not raining."
Before the fourth stage, 2010 winner Andy Schleck dropped out because of a crash injury a day earlier.

THIS year's Twin Counties County Cup final will be an all-Dorset affair after both Devizes and Corsham fell at the last four stage on Saturday.
While Corsham were defeated 57-14 at Weymouth in their semi final, Devizes also found their hosts too strong as Wimborne claimed their place in the final for the first time in 20 years.
With both sides in great form in Southern Counties South – Devizes currently top and Wimborne second – the contest did not disappoint.
The home side got into their stride early on and scored a fine try through centre Tom Brown, which was converted by Tom Moysey.
Wimborne quickly added a second as flanker Sean Murphy crashed over in the corner, Moysey again adding the extras Devizes went close through Craig Bryant and Damon Murphy, but Andy Thompson's penalty was their only reward before an attack broke down and home wing Jimmy Brokenshire went clear to touch down.
Devizes then lost prop Steve Rowbotham, who was knocked out after a clash of heads and things got worse as Bryant was penalised for a late hit, Brokenshire escaped and sent Moysey over for the try.
Devizes hit back as Jorge Wadman scored after a quick tap penalty took Wimborne by surprise before Moysey booted a penalty to stretch his side's advantage.
Wimborne's Will Tarbard was sin-binned in the second half and Wadman got his second of the day after more quick hands.
But Moysey's chip bounced kindly for substitute second row Tom Napier to gather and touch down, Moysey again converting.
Wadman added his third score soon afterwards, but Moysey knocked over a fine drop goal and Murphy ended the scoring with his second try.

Presently I'm not using any FB meta tags. The <meta property="og:
Generally, in what way can they benefit besides FB's categorization of site?
Anything in the way of SEO? Is this Indirectly?
sory, what the effect for that on optimaze Seo?
This is not related to SEO although search engines could in theory read it as well to help the in better understanding the page and associating it with a particular brand.
Facebook's meta data is extremely useful for optimizing your social presence to the point where any public page or item really should have it. With this data you're telling Facebook everything from the category to nature of the page, the image to show when your page is shared. Without it they're scraping and guessing which is far from ideal. The depth and nature of fields varies by category with items like location on a business listing
Here's the fields & details: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraphprotocol/
And the validation tool: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
Thx for that, and for the validation tool - wasn't aware they had one.
According the FB http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraphprotocol/
"It is currently designed for Web pages representing profiles of real-world things — things like movies, sports teams, celebrities, and restaurants"
What about informational sites? Is it really suited for these?
Open graph works with, and is useful for, every type of site... unless you don't care what information shows up when someone shares your url. They simply have more going on for certain actions that have logical interactions (i.e. going to a place, reading a book, buying an item).

Hi mike,
Yes, that is an interesting quotation. I entirely agree with his statements.
He goes further than the AN 3.61 teaching. Dependent arising is the first and the
second truths. Dependent cessation is the third and the fourth truths.
So dependent cessation is the noble eightfold path.
I also like the way he says that the process of becoming is suffering.
And, from the link which you provided, I see that his explanation of DO is in
accordance with the 'three lifetimes' interpretation.
Regards, Vincent.

30-Year Fixed Mortgage Rates Decline First Time in 4 Weeks
Mortgage rates for 30-year fixed mortgages fell this week, with the current rate borrowers were quoted on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace at 4.11 percent, down from 4.18 percent at this same time last week.
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate declined steadily last week, dropping to as low as 4.09 percent on Monday before rising slightly to today's rate.
"Rates drifted downwards last week as geopolitical concerns emerged from the turmoil in Ukraine," said Erin Lantz, director of mortgages at Zillow. "This week, while the jobs report on Friday is typically the dominant market catalyst, we expect rates will remain depressed while the situation in Ukraine remains unsettled."
Additionally, the 15-year fixed mortgage rate this morning was 3.08 percent and for 5/1 ARMs, the rate was 2.69 percent.

Sunnyside tight-lipped about interim police chief
YAKIMA, Wash. -- Sunnyside's decision to fire its interim police chief , a move confirmed to KIMA Action News by city councilmembers, has gone without any public explanation.
"What do you think about the city's decision to fire its top law enforcement and not explain anything to taxpayers?" KIMA asked.
"I think the taxpayers have the right to know why the man is being released of his job," said taxpayer Rebecca Dixon. "And, because he was doing a lot to helping the crime and gangs."
Sunnyside Interim City Manager Frank Sweet handed Schenck his pink slip this week, according to Sunnyside city councilmembers. KIMA's repeated calls to Sweet were never returned.
When Action News went to City Hall, we were told Sweet wasn't available until the afternoon. When we went back he was still unavailable.
Sunnyside's human resources department says the city won't discuss Schenck's termination because it's a personnel matter.
Taxpayers feel it's a public matter.
"It was shocking because I felt like it was a letdown for Sunnyside," said Paula Lemos.
Neighbors we spoke with were happy with Schenck and his efforts to fight crime and fix the city's tarnished image.
"Who knew that he was going to get fired and why did he get fired?" said Ernesto Martinez.
Action News tried calling Schenck but our calls were never returned.
However, we did get through to Sunnyside City Councilmember Theresa Hancock.
She said Schenck's termination wasn't unexpected and believes past city managers also had issues with Schenck, particularly with police department spending, though Hancock couldn't give an official reason.
"The public should be open and given answers as well," said Savanna Schlosser.
For now, Sunnyside decided it won't explain to taxpayers why the city's top officer was kicked off the force.
KIMA tried to contact Sunnyside's mayor and several other council members but our calls were not returned.
A human resources employee said the city would respond to our requests within the next five days.
Sunnyside City Council will discuss Schenck's termination in executive session on Monday.

POLICE are warning ATM cash machine users of a scam currently operating across the county.
'Cash traps' are a way that criminals manipulate ATM machines to prevent customers from receiving some, or all, of the cash they've requested.
A cash trap is usually installed at the cash dispenser shutter. When a customer attempts to withdraw cash, the transaction proceeds normally but the cash does not appear. It has been retained by the trap and is recovered by the criminals after the customer leaves the ATM.
If cash does not dispense during a withdrawal at an ATM, you are advised to report it to your bank immediately. Your contact number for your bank should be displayed on the reverse of your bankcard.
If you see anything unusual on an ATM, find a device or if an apparent part of the machine falls off while you are using it, report this to the police on 101 as soon as possible.
If you have been a victim of this type of crime call Lincolnshire Police on 101 giving full details.

What a Difference a Day Makes
Patty Spanjer
Dalton GA USA
From NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 17 No. 5, September-October 2000, p. 161
We provide articles from our publications from previous years for reference for our Leaders and members. Readers are cautioned to remember that research and medical information change over time.
When my son, Drew, was 17 months old, he had to have some dental work done under general anesthesia. There were holes in his four upper front teeth, right along the gum line. Two of Andrew's brothers had problems with a lack of enamel on their baby teeth. Because of this, I had been watching Drew's teeth closely. However, neither brother had problems this early.
The work was done at a children's hospital because of a family history of trouble with anesthesia. While he was in the operating room, we got a call telling us they were going to have to cut the upper (labial) frenulum, the connective tissue between the lip and the gum, and re-stitch it higher. Drew's frenulum was so tight and thick that food and liquids got caught under it, causing decay.
Before the surgery, it had always been somewhat uncomfortable to nurse Drew. I thought this was due to his strong suck and high activity level. He often arched his back and/or pulled back his head. As a matter of fact, I quit taking Drew along when speaking at childbirth classes because he demonstrated such poor positioning. I was constantly breaking the suction and reattaching him. At night, I was often saying "ouch" because I would doze off and he would be nursing on the end of my nipple. Actually, I rarely slept while nursing him. I could actually feel my nipple rubbing on his teeth! Since there is no option for me except nursing, I just accepted that it was physically uncomfortable because I loved the relationship. I really thought it was "just Drew." But since his surgery there is no pain! He still twists, turns, and climbs all over me, as most of my five children have done, but the discomfort is gone. Before, he would often appear to be slipping off the nipple and I would have to reposition him. Now he flanges his lips properly. I nursed him in the recovery room immediately after surgery. I noticed the difference right away and commented to the recovery room nurse. I wondered if he was nursing "gently" due to the anesthesia.
Interestingly, he seems more comfortable. It had been impossible to get oral medication into Drew, and it had been hard to get him to open his mouth. Now he is not only taking (without too much trouble) the antibiotics prescribed after the surgery, but he is also letting me check his stitches. Brushing his upper front teeth seems to cause him pain, even though I am as gentle as I can be, so I think the stitches must be bothering him some.
Drew's speech had been within normal limits but not as clear as our other children's speech at this age. Since the surgery, it has become much more understandable. Certain sounds are clearer. Now "affle" is "apple," and so on.
I have been an LLL Leader for twenty years and I am also a board-certified lactation consultant. My husband is a pediatrician and we have five children ranging in age from twenty-four years to seventeen months. I have worked with many breastfeeding mothers for whom breastfeeding was painful because their babies had short lingual, or lower, frenulums (the membrane attaching the tongue to the floor of the mouth). Also known as "tongue-tie," this condition keeps the baby's tongue from extending over his teeth and prevents him from breastfeeding effectively. But I had no knowledge of upper frenulums being a problem.
If I had known Drew's upper frenulurn was causing my pain, I would have had the surgery done earlier, since it is less involved if it is done at birth. However, I thought nursing him was no fun because he had such a strong suck. He still has a strong suck after the surgery, but it no longer hurts me! Fortunately, Drew went back to his healthy, active self after the surgery and now I can relax and enjoy our breastfeeding relationship.
Reprinted from an issue of Dogwood Blossoms, the Area Leaders' Letter for LLL of Georgia.

|I top roped it in summer of 1988 and did it all except for the bulge. I got through the bulge after multiple slip offs. Found it on rappel and thought it was 5.11+. I thought the climb a bit monotonous having only the bulge to be different. I think I took a left turn on friction to get back right to edge again at the midway bulge. I used to climb parallel trees, legs on one tree and arms edging up the other. This climb I used a similar technique. It was very steep, exhausting pushing my way up the thing making the edge manageable for my hands close to my feet smearing. It seemed ridiculous that it could be climbed. I didn't have to deal with bolts either. The bolts should be rusted crap. I thought then in 1988 Cannon was going to become busy with climbers. It didn't happen and without regulars for climbers, many climbs, like this one, have had no maintenance. Its costly too redo climbs. I went on my honeymoon in September, John

Monotonous, but 4 stars ?/ I can think of a few words to describe this line but monotonous isn't one of them.
Abrilliant line that i can't give stars to'cause I haven't done all of it

There are many monotonous types of climbs I've done like the (Beast Flake). How about I modify it too repetitive? I didn't write mediocre. Didn't get it on the first try, I freed though after slipping off going through it's mid section. No bolt holding and no resting. I wouldn't get it free leading it without making it a project. I don't do projects.
This climb requires balance to put all power into lowest gear friction while pulling up on the rounded edge. That is mostly it in a nut shell. Much endurance and not much change in the movements up.

A little mushroom is enjoying huge popularity in Japan right now, and in a different way than you might expect.
The nameko, which the Wall Street Journal describes as "a gelatinous, light-brown, tack-size variety for the ordinary Joe," was already one of the most widely cultivated varieties in Japan.
Now it's wildly popular in Japanese pop culture thanks to a smartphone game called Nameko Saibai Kit, or "the kit for cultivating nameko."
From the YouTube videos I've watched, gameplay seems simple: Your nameko grow on a log. When they're ready, you harvest them. A good harvest allows you to upgrade your cultivation equipment, which in turn helps you cultivate more and rarer nameko varieties.
The Journal reports 32 million people have downloaded the game since it was released two years ago. For comparison, the mobile game Angry Birds has had more than a billion downloads so far.
Still, 32 million players is quite a few — that's about equal to the combined populations of Texas and Missouri.
Imagine the opportunities for tie-ins.
Los Angeles-based Paramount Farms featured Angry Birds in its Wonderful Pistachios Get Crackin' 2011 ad campaigns and also partnered for a pistachio-themed version of the game.
Charlotte, N.C.-based Chiquita Brands International did something similar that year when it teamed with Nintendo Wii for the video gaming system's Donkey Kong Country Returns. The company also partnered with Sega of America Inc. in 2010 for the Wii game Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll, and Chiquita bananas were featured as a component of gameplay.
What if, in American versions of Nameko Saibai Kit, a Forest Nameko mushroom from Sebastopol, Calif.-based Gourmet Mushrooms Inc., were to pop up on a player's growing log?
I can imagine preparation tips sprinkled throughout the game as gamers harvest the fungi. "Like playing Nameko Saibai? Here's where you can find them and how you can fix them yourself!"
In January, The Packer's Western correspondent Tom Burfield reported sales of specialty mushrooms such as the nameko and other Asian varieties are growing as consumers seek out different flavors and see mushrooms as a healthful way to extend or cut down on meat.
While the game might not enjoy the fervor here it's seen in Japan so far — nameko merchandise, candy and a giant walking nameko along the lines of a theme park character are just some of the ways the country has capitalized on a mushroom cultural craze — tie-ins with companies that sell specialty mushrooms might be a good way to get the normally fungi-phobic to try something new.
In other news, now that summer has finally arrived here in the Midwest, so has the you-pick fruit season.
In mid-June our household was graced with nearly 15 pounds of fresh strawberries picked by friends and family at a farm outside of the Kansas City metro area. Even after making pies and jam we had a lot left over for fresh eating, but the fruit was so sweet and juicy we never tired of it during the week it took us to polish off all the berries.
After eating strawberries like that it's tempting to want to grow our own. However, as Markets Editor Andy Nelson pointed out in a recent column about Wal-Mart's research funding for local strawberry programs, getting the berries to grow successfully in Kansas is often a hit-or-miss proposition.
I have a feeling local berries, like other local produce, will become a summer treat, and we'll happily eat California, Florida or Mexico berries the rest of the year.
We also spent a recent Saturday morning at another area you-pick operation picking blueberries. In addition to going home with almost 10 pounds of plump, deep-blue fruit, one of the highlights was watching the interactions between kids and their parents as they picked.
"Only pick the ones that are blue all over."
"See the dark blue ones? Those are the ones we want."
"Dad, where do blueberries come from?"
I'm not sure what that question actually meant, considering the young man who asked it was standing right in front of a blueberry bush. However, it reminded me how important it is for kids (and adults) to see where fruits and vegetables are grown, how they grow and all the time and labor that goes into harvesting them.
Blueberries don't just wind up in clamshells in the grocery store all by themselves, after all. They're only there because growers, fieldworkers, shippers and who knows how many other people took the time and care to get them from the plant to the produce aisle.

ESPN 99.1 Game of the Week: O'Gorman vs. Pierre
The old meets the new, as O'Gorman – a new member of 11AAA – meets Pierre of 11AA. The new Metro conference will battle the ESD conference, as two old conference foes get back together on the gridiron.
Coming into their fourth game of the season, the Knights are 2-1, and after losing quarterback Tanner Schulte to an injury, sophomore Luke Fritsch was given the keys to the offense.
Last week, as O'Gorman beat Washington in a 28-10 victory in the Dakota Bowl, Fritsch found his confidence. He led the Knights with three rushing touchdowns.
"(Fritsch) is calmer now. After a couple of games he understands the offense a lot better," says head coach Steve Kueter.
With Pierre, the Knights have a big challenge against the undefeated Pierre Governors. Pierre is 3-0 and the top-ranked team in 11AA in the ESPN 99.1/KELO TV/KBHB high school football rankings. The game on Friday will be tough for the Knights, and it's their homecoming game, too.
"I don't like homecoming games, they provide distractions. It's a 5 p.m. game against a really good team, and they should bring a lot of their fans, too. It should be a lot of fun," says Kueter.
To knock off the Governors, Kueter says, "We have to control the ball on offense, and do a good job on pass defense."
Pierre put up 417 yards of offense last week against Mitchell, and senior WR/DB Austin Christopherson will be a big match-up to watch for O'Gorman, as he returned both a punt and a kick-off for touchdowns against the Kernals.
As the Governors accumulate a lot of yards, they also score a lot. Pierre has scored 28 points or more in three games in 2013, and last week, the Governors scored 21 points in the first quarter to cruise to a 48-7 win.
One of the main reasons for the Governor's early season success has been their senior leadership.
"We rely on the seniors, and their experience in big games and in big atmospheres."
Against O'Gorman, the Governors main task will be stopping the run game, as the Knights rushed for 246 yards and four touchdowns last week against Washington.
Poppinga's keys to the game for the Governors may sound cliche, but they're simple: "Play solid defense, contain the quarterback, stop the run game, and execute well on offense."
O'Gorman and Pierre can be heard right here on ESPN 99.1 at 5 p.m. on Friday.

Homestand Highlights: Cardboard to Leather Collection and more
On Saturday, August 30, the Oriole Advocates will conduct their 2014 Cardboard to Leather™ collection at Oriole Park, presented by Legg Mason. The Oriole Advocates created the program in 1992 to provide new and used baseball and softball equipment to underprivileged youth in developing countries. Since the program started, the Oriole Advocates have distributed tons of equipment to youth baseball players throughout the world in places such as Afghanistan, Aruba, Belgrade, Belize, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Fans are encouraged to bring new or gently used baseball equipment to the Orioles game on Saturday to be used in this year's distribution. Financial donations will also be accepted to help with shipping costs.
The Oriole Advocates Charitable Foundation will also conduct a silent auction of sports memorabilia at the game on Saturday, on the lower concourse near Gate E. Fans will have the chance to bid on baseballs, photos, bats, and jerseys autographed by current Orioles stars including CHRIS DAVIS, RYAN FLAHERTY, MIGUEL GONZALEZ, J.J. HARDY, TOMMY HUNTER, BRIAN MATUSZ, BUCK SHOWALTER, CHRIS TILLMAN, and MATT WIETERS. Funds raised from the auction will be used to support the Cardboard to Leather Program™, which this year will provide baseball equipment to players in Mexico, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, and other Latin and Central America countries. Bids will be accepted from 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.
In a special ceremony prior to the game, a representative from Legg Mason will be joined by Orioles pitcher MIGUEL GONZALEZ to present the Oriole Advocates Charitable Foundation with a $15,000 contribution for the Cardboard to Leather™ Equipment Collection. In addition, the Baseball Tomorrow Fund will award a grant of $5,000 to the Foundation for the purchase of new equipment.

On Wednesday, August 27, the Orioles and Rays will represent all Major League Baseball players when they present a check for $10,000 to the Cool Kids Campaign Foundation, located in Towson, MD.

Fellow co-founders CHRIS FEDERICO, SHARON PERFETTI, and KIMMIE MEISSNER, along with MLBPA representative JEFFREY HAMMONDS, will be on-hand for the ceremony. Its mission is to improve the quality of life for children living with cancer through academic, emotional, and social support. The funds from the MLBPA and proceeds from other events, including the Ken Singleton Celebrity Golf Classic, enable the Cool Kids Foundation to create programs for the children and their families, such as their new learning center.
On Friday, August 29, before their game against the Minnesota Twins, the Orioles will recognize players and coaches of the RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) League Champion teams in a special on-field ceremony. Over 500 Baltimore teenagers participated in the team-funded league this summer, an increase of more than 40 percent for each age group from 2013. The championship teams being recognized will be as follows; The Maryland Warriors from the 10-12 year old division managed by SKIP BAYLOR, the Middle River Mayhem from the 13-15 year old division managed by DENNIS PALMER, the Colgate Panthers from the 16-18 year old division managed by ROB LEE, and the Edreco Eagles from the softball division managed by MIKE BANKS.
RBI is a youth outreach program designed to promote interest in baseball, increase the self-esteem of disadvantaged children, and encourage kids to stay in school and off the streets. The program is a national Major League Baseball initiative administered and financially supported by the Orioles at a local level. The Orioles cover all costs that would be required from each team to participate, including umpire fees, baseballs, hats, and travel expenses for the travel teams of each division to represent RBI Baltimore in the Mid-Atlantic Regional Tournament.

On Sunday, August 31, former WJZ-TV anchor DON SCOTT will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Orioles host the Minnesota Twins. This past July, Scott retired after 40 years with the station. For more than three decades, Scott served at the morning anchor desk. He also volunteered annually at the OriolesREACH Food and Funds Drive, helping collect donations to benefit the Maryland Food Bank.
Following their game on Sunday, August 31 against the Minnesota Twins, the Orioles and OriolesREACH will host the third and final Kids Run the Bases on the field at Oriole Park.

Winners will receive four tickets to the game, an Orioles T-shirt, hat, and free Chick-fil-A sandwiches for a year. Each winner will also participate in an on-field, pre-game ceremony where they will be presented with an official Honorary Bat Boy/Girl certificate and have a photo opportunity with the Chick-fil-A Cow and Oriole Bird.
The Orioles will again feature the Steal Second Base contest for every Sunday home game this season. Presented by ESSKAY, the Steal Second Base contest allows a young fan to participate in a timed race from the grounds crew area in center field to retrieve second base. Fans can sign up for the opportunity at the ballpark at any Fan Assistance Center. The lucky winner will receive four tickets to that day's game, gift certificates to use inside the park, an Orioles jersey, and an Orioles prize pack. The contestants will also get to keep the authentic base that they steal. This Sunday's contestant is BRAD HAMILTON, an 11 year old from North Beach, MD.

Grilli would have liked more innings with Italy
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Jason Grilli can be credited with one of the two victories that made Italy's World Baseball Classic appearance historic. But he can't be blamed for the two wrenching defeats that sent the Italians home.
Grilli, who returned to the Pirates' camp on Saturday morning, had an adventurous save in the 6-5 opening win over Mexico that began Italy's advancement into the second round. But he never left the bullpen as Italy blew late leads against both the Dominican and Puerto Rico in Pool B play.
"Yeah, I was disappointed," Grilli said. "I thought I would've pitched in one of those two. I told [manager Marco Mazzieri] it did not have to be a save situation for him to use me. I thought I would've pitched in the eighth inning against Puerto Rico, with the heart of the order coming up -- [Carlos] Beltran and [Yadier] Molina, those are guys I've faced often and am very familiar with.
"But short of me picking up the phone and calling to say, 'Hey, I know these guys … .' [Mazzieri] apologized for not using me. I respect their decision. I'm still grateful for the experience. I couldn't have been happier doing it for the third time [Grilli was also on Italy's staff for the 2006 and '09 Classics]."
That save against Mexico came on March 7, and in the interim Grilli has only thrown on the side.
"So, I'd like to get reacquainted with facing some hitters," he said. "[The Classic] was a playoff atmosphere, but I don't look at [resuming Spring Training] as a letdown. I missed these guys. I guess I was saving my bullets for the bigger picture, closing games for the Pirates."

In the second half of the program, Sylvia leads a meditation that invokes the presence of our angels and individual spirit guides, and invites them to communicate with us. We feel their protection, receive their healing, and with Sylvia's encouragement, learn how to ask them for the help we desire.

"Great Value"
Never having previously listened to her lectures or read any of her books, i kept an open mind when i 1st bought this audible book. At the time i'd been looking for answers to many questions which i found she covered very well and confirmed some of my previous beliefs. A pleasure to listen to. Infact I played twice over the 1st day. If it had been longer I would have gave it a 5, but none the less Fantastic!!
I fell in love with Sylvia Browne after first listening to this amazing recording. She is witty, she is fun, she is so down to earth that you can FINALLY relax and realize: no, you are NOT crazy for not being able to keep your mind empty during those two meditation attempts and no, you are not schizophrenic for SENSING with all the square meters of skin on your body the presence of SOMEONE on the back sit of your car.
Yes, your Angels are with you.
And the Spirit Guides, too.
Perhaps, they DO have wings. I was in the gym and HAD to stop tummy-crunches and laugh out loud (for the whole two minutes!!) listening to Sylvia describing how she learned about THAT fact. When I was listening to this book third time, I was STILL laughing at this and many other revelations from Sylvia.
The guided meditation she shared at the end of this program is my favorite ever for now.
You NEED this audio book, for the sheer example of light hart-ed attitude to life, filled with simple knowledge of the life beyond the veil.
I have listened to this book at least five times and am going to again :)
Victoria Evangelina Belyavskaya
I thoroughly enjoyed it - so entertaining, informative, and funny! I'm looking forward to listening to more of her audio books.
"Thoroughly enjoyed it."
Sylvia is funny, enlightened and blessed. She is a great reminder that we all have something to share in this life and if we don't, we'll just have to try again. Her meditation was more powerful than cutting onions and left me feeling lighter than a feather. I would definitely recommend listening to this audiobook.
"Good Book"
I thought this was a good book and enjoyed her humor.
"A very good read!"
Very insightful. Sylvia is a wonderful giving person, and her meditations are beautiful and calming.
"loved it"
Everything Sylvia Browne has done I love. I miss Sylvia everyday. She was the real deal. Thank God she has these books to listen to.
"Sylvia in conversation"
Her sense of humour is great. Her teachings are more or less in keeping with the others of similar backgrounds. All round ok but as Sylvia herself says keep an open mind and do your own research
Say something about yourself!
"Highly recommend to anyone ?-ing eternal life"
INSPIRING, POWERFUL, and WONDERFUL takeaway!
The positive confirmation and comfort in hearing that our loved ones who have passed on before us truly are still here with us.
Comedy in her stories. Hearing her routine, I was able to experience a more personal account of heartfelt emotion during conversations between audience members and Sylvia, I likely would not have felt, or that may not have been included, having read the book..
Sylvia is hilarious! I laughed out loud throughput. Other occasions, I experienced chills, and must admit, tears did well-up in my eyes during one or two topics of discussion.
Great experience! I am so glad I had the time to listen. I also deeply regret not having had the opportunity to see her live or meet her, seeing as how she has since passed on.
This woman is weird. She is so wigged out that she doesn't even pick up on all the contradictions in her logic. She blasts New Age people for some of their beliefs then tells us that there's a "library on the other side" with certainty. She calls upon the Bible repeatedly then insists on beliefs that have no basis in scripture. She even referred to Muslims as Mohammadans which is offensive to Islamic people who worship One God not the Prophet Mohammad. She is one solid freak. That's for sure. Her voice grates on one's nerves, and she insists that it is really OK to nurture a hatred toward another, in her case, her brother-in-law. If you like angels, go with Yoxall who is soothing, peaceful and a good deal more smart than Browne.
"interesting book"
This is an interesting book. If this is a field you are interested in this subject it is worth listening to and very enjoyable.

Use AOTA's Occupational Profile template to improve your documentation.
Learn how to use the new OT CPT® Evaluation codes correctly.
Occupational therapy consistently ranks high as one of the top jobs.
Read recent news articles about occupational therapy.
Find out how occupational therapy helps people with polytraumatic injuries.
One of the responsibilities of AOTA's Board of Directors is to ensure that the Association's strategic priorities support the Centennial Vision so that occupational therapy remains a valued profession. Doing so involves long-term vision and planning, and engaging members of the Association in dialogue around important issues.
In April of this year, the Board issued a position statement to articulate their view that future occupational therapists will need to be doctorally prepared for entry-level practice by 2025.
AOTA President Ginny Stoffel, PhD, OT, BCMH, FAOTA, says the board arrived at its view after receiving the recommendations of two separate advisory groups. The Future of Education Ad Hoc committee was created to examine and recommend strategies for the future of occupational therapy education, and a subgroup of the Board was asked to specifically consider a single point of entry at the doctoral level, based on the work of the ad hoc committee. The position statement is the result of the recommendations of these advisory groups, and many months of the board evaluating changes in the health care system, higher education, and the profession itself.
"As a board, we need to take the long view to ensure that occupational therapy remains competitive and relevant," said Stoffel. "The changing health care system is requiring more dependence on research and evidence, and many similar professions are going to an entry-level doctorate. We want to begin a profession-wide dialogue on how to ensure that the profession remains not just relevant but in demand, despite changes and uncertainty."
Stoffel emphasized what the position statement means. "This document reflects the board's view of the future of the profession," she said. "However, the board does not have the authority to implement this recommendation. Our role here is to frame for the profession what we consider to be a critical, strategic issue and facilitate a broad-based discussion with all our communities of interest so that an informed decision can take place."
In coming to its conclusion to recommend that the profession move to the doctoral entry for occupational therapists by 2025, the Board of Directors examined multiple issues. The decision is a complex one and there are many advantages (pros) and potential disadvantages (cons) to this change. This table (updated September 8, 2014) is a summary of the pros and cons identified by the board, and it includes feedback obtained by members and others. Additional advantages and/or disadvantages may be indentified as the profession participates in dialogue about this complex issue.
The board is holding a series of discussion meetings over the course of the next year with AOTA volunteer leadership groups, general members, and external groups (e.g., NBCOT and AOTF). The board has also set up a forum on OT Connections for members to share feedback and ask questions electronically. There will be an open forum discussion on April 17 in Nashville, during AOTA's 2015 Annual Conference and Expo.
After these discussions, the board may then ask the Representative Assembly to consider whether this statement should become an official policy. If so, the RA would share it with the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE®).
Neil Harvison, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA, AOTA's Chief Academic and Science Affairs Officer, notes that ACOTE is the only body with regulatory authority to mandate the entry-level degree for occupational therapy education. ACOTE is the recognized accreditation agency for occupational therapy education in the United States by both the United States Department of Education (USDE) and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). USDE and CHEA regulations require that all actions and decisions of the accreditation agency must be made independently from the parent association(s). Harvison says that, "historically, ACOTE has been careful to consider the positions and policies of the profession's leadership groups when determining entry-level degree requirements."
If ACOTE mandates doctoral-level entry for occupational therapists, it would apply only to future graduates after an appropriate transition for educational institutions. Current practicing therapists who have previously graduated at the bachelor's or master's level would be unaffected. ACOTE has historically allowed schools a generous time period to transition to new requirements. "The board statement suggests an implementation date of 2025," says Stoffel. "We selected a target date that's 11 years away to allow adequate time for full discussion and potential preparation and implementation."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Duval County Public Schools report into the reassignment of the school district's spokeswoman last month details what was deemed as an "insensitive comment" she made that was reported by one of her subordinates.
Jill Johnson, who was the district's spokeswoman for five years, has since assumed a director position in Human Resources, a lateral move.
According to the report, Kandra Albury, who was under Johnson's supervision, filed a racial discrimination complaint against Johnson. Among her complaints was that Johnson used the term "redneck" routinely in reference to her own husband, a term Albury, who is black, believes is a way of saying someone is "not fond of people of color."
Johnson treated other subordinates in a "jovial" manner, but not so with Albury, whom she tried to avoid "at all costs," according to the report.
The report says Johnson would point out Albury's errors, but would overlook the errors of two others on her staff, both of whom are white.
There have been conversations about Superintendent Nikolai Vitti's wife, who is black, including about the kinds of high heels she wears, according to the report. Albury believes the comments show a bias against African-Americans, the report says.
School district investigators found "no evidence to support the allegation of discrimination on the basis of race. However, there is evidence of the use of words that have racial connotations and of other conversations that are inappropriate for the workplace," the report reads.
Johnson had recently given Albury a subpar job performance review, which Albury disputed. The investigators found "her struggle with job-related tasks, combined with unprofessional language by her colleagues and discussions about human differences, may have contributed to her belief that race plays a part in her interactions" with Johnson, according to the report.
Johnson had this response in writing to her use of the word redneck: "In no way would I describe the man I'm married to in a derogatory manner," and "truly was unaware that referring to him as a redneck would be deemed racially insensitive."
She denied making the comment about Vitti's wife's shoes, and said it was a reporter who did, according to the report.
Johnson feels the the accusations by Albury "were made in retaliation for an evaluation I conducted of her performance in late December," the report reads. Johnson said she agrees with the report's findings that the "allegations are without merit, and are merely the unsupported complaints of a poorly performing employee who resents her supervisor's efforts to improve her workplace performance."
Vitti released a statement Friday that reads:
"Although the term 'redneck' may not be considered insensitive to some, it is to others. The term evokes the historical perception of intolerance, and therefore is inappropriate in the workplace as the leader of a department, namely communications. As we move our district forward, I did not feel that Ms. Johnson should continue to represent the entire school district as its spokesperson.
"However, since my arrival, Ms. Johnson has consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, persistence, and intelligence and I believe she will continue to contribute to the improvement of the District in her new role."

Hit by pickoff throw, Ramirez exits with back contusion
MINNEAPOLIS -- Left fielder Wilkin Ramirez, who was officially reinstated from the paternity list before Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Angels, left the game early with a back contusion. He's considered day to day.
Ramirez singled with two outs in the fifth inning against Angels reliever Jerome Williams but was hit on the back on a pickoff throw from Williams while diving back into first base.
"Ramirez is OK," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He had a stinger. It got him right in the spine, and it tingled right through his brain, so we got him off the field. But he's OK."
Ramirez left the game for Eduardo Escobar, who replaced him as a pinch-runner and eventually scored on a two-run single from Brian Dozier, which had given the Twins a 7-4 lead. Ramirez also had a sacrifice fly in the third.
Escobar took over in left field to mark just the second time in his career the utility infielder played in the outfield. Darin Mastroianni (sore left ankle) and Josh Willingham (flu-like symptoms) were both unavailable to replace Ramirez.

The common term for kilojoule used to be 'calorie'. By definition, a calorie (technically called a kilocalorie or kcal) is the amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Centigrade. One calorie has the same energy value as 4.186 kilojoules which is now the term accepted internationally. Kilojoules quantify the fuel energy that is available from food and measure the heat output that comes from metabolism, which is the number of kilojoules the body burns.
1. resting metabolic rate;
2. physical activity; and
3. kilojoules used to digest and absorb food.
Resting metabolism is the kilojoules used to keep all systems going day in and day out; it is the kilojoules burned by the brain, heart, kidneys and all organs and cells in the body. About two-thirds to three-quarters of the kilojoules we burn every day are accounted for in resting metabolism.
The second component of metabolism is the kilojoules burned in activities such as walking, stair climbing, picking up children and planned exercise. Kilojoules burned in physical activity are the most variable part of metabolism and also the component over which you have the most control.
Finally, a relatively small percentage of kilojoules (about 10%) are burned to digest and absorb food.
The only scientifically proven method for losing weight involves burning more kilojoules than are taken in. This fact, often called the "law of thermodynamics," has been shown time and time again in decades of rigorous scientific studies. One example of the hundreds of studies that exist was done in Switzerland. Fifty-four obese people had their calories restricted to 1,100 per day. Different combinations of foods and meal timing were tested. There was no difference in weight losses; it came down to the number of calories, not how they were provided, that accounted for the weight loss that the participants experienced.
At the end of the day, the only true way to lose weight is to eat fewer kilojoules in food and/or burn more kilojoules.

The word 'history' was used a lot on Monday evening at St. Catharine Hall.
I think I'm correct when I predict that the word was used fittingly.
On Monday, a partnership was officially formed between St. Catharine College and The Berry Center.
The Berry Center is based on supporting sustainable agriculture.
You may have heard of one of the Berry's.
His name is Wendell. He's an internationally-known author.
I'm a 37-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Army and now the U.S. Army Reserve.
My misson for the past several years is to teach future officers in the ROTC program at Centre College in Danville.
My students are extremely intelligent, disciplined and athletically-gifted individuals.
The truth is, this worn- out old sergeant has little he can really teach them.
Yet, there is one area I feel strongly about and I stress over and over again.
We have reached the half-way point of the 2012 General Assembly Session.
There are daily committee meetings, policy briefings, visits from constituents, and meetings with various advocacy groups.
Early in the week, the Senate passed Senate Bill 103 in a bipartisan vote that will require a doctor performing an abortion to first perform an ultrasound (which is done anyway) so that the woman may view it, if she wishes.
The woman will not be forced to look at the picture.
Our office changed last Wednesday.
It was not a good change, in my opinion.
The sniffles heard outside my door that day indicate I'm not alone.
Kim Hupman, a long-time employee of The Springfield Sun, walked out the door for the last time.
Kim didn't retire and she still has a job in the company. Things could be much, much worse.
She's been relocated to Bardstown, to the office of The Kentucky Standard.
Lucky dogs.
She'll still be doing Sun ads as part of a centralized graphics team.
A lot of times I love to use this space to write silly little stories that I hope will make you laugh.
Afterward, people frequently ask me, "Did that really happen?" Of course, most of it didn't. My column is just another version of the funny paper in those cases.
But every now and then, I do write deeply-personal stories that have touched my life or those I love very intimately. Today is one of those stories.
Because we spend a lot of time indoors during the winter, we can channel these increased hours spent nesting to allow for a thoughtful examination of our life and goals.
Often, resolutions to change financial burdens or eating habits are made in the beginning of the year, but it's also a great time to assess life goals and priorities, and how they relate to happiness.
This year, following several trying economic years, offers an opportunity to reevaluate what you want out of life and how you can find happiness with what you have.
Greetings from Frankfort!
Anyone visiting the capitol this week would have enjoyed watching democracy in action, both on an individual level, as well as a grander level.
We passed legislation that made road travel safer for the Amish as well as the "English," we moved forward in education, and we found consensus on congressional redistricting, even as legislative redistricting moved to the courts. It was a full week.
First, let's look at how a small group of dedicated people can work to pass legislation meaningful to them.
When I started practicing medicine in Bardstown almost 35 years ago, I was optimistic about my opportunity to make sick children well and to watch healthy children grow into strong adults.
Even though I started out with a slightly naïve view, I'm very proud to say I've had a hand in caring for thousands of Kentucky's children.
I made a commitment to serve Medicaid patients at the very beginning of my career, but I was not enthusiastic when managed care arrived in 1997.
The mailbox posted at the old farm entrance was labeled, "DR McMurtry."
I caught myself daydreaming, once again, back to a time when days turned slowly under the Springfield sun.
I think of it fondly and often, now that I am far removed from the life it supported during the era of two-cylinder tractors, tenant farming and hard labor.
The caretakers of the land were people of strength and diversity in every way imaginable, yet they were all the same to me, at least as I understood them.
Several years ago, I spent family time with my three daughters navigating Pittsburgh's downtown streets, a city between two rivers, with a convoluted grid of traffic patterns.
I sat in the back seat and watched in amazement as my tech-savvy daughters produced a new electronic gadget, a GPS, equipped with a very friendly, very British-accented voice named Emily, that guided us through the maze of streets.

MIAMI - Your car thermometer is wrong! Yes that is true. You might be thinking ,"Wait, huh, what? Scott, I know you are a meteorologist but I just paid and will be paying thousands of dollars for my new fancy car that has all the bells and whistles and you are telling me my car thermometer isn't working??" Yes that is exactly what I am saying. No matter if you have a fancy Bently, an Audi, a BMW, Toyota or another make of car, every car thermometer has the same component as a really fancy, schmancy weather station.
That fancy, schmancy component is a thermistor. A therma-what? A thermistor is another way to say a temperature sensor. They are highly accurate sensors that produce electricity based on ambient temperature. You may be thinking, "Whew! I knew my car thermometer was accurate." Well, the big problem with car thermometers, bank thermometers and billboard thermometers is that the environment surrounding the temperature sensor affects the temperature reading. This is where we get the problem with our car thermometer reporting really hot temps.
The National Weather Service goes through an extensive process of finding the proper place for weather stations to avoid re-radiated heat. The sensors are solar-shielded and are located at least ten feet away from trees, fences, buildings, concrete and asphalt. The weather stations are placed mainly on grassy surfaces or dirt, on a post five feet above the ground. This way the National Weather Service has a set standard and then a set constant for the housing and location of a weather station. This then helps improve accuracy of all the weather reports.
Car thermometers aren't in this type of environment and therefore can't follow the National Weather Service standard. Neither does your bank sign and those new, modern billboards.
Granted a car is a tough environment for a temperature sensor. The engineers designing the layout have to be concerned about engine heat, re-radiated heat from the asphalt, concrete, tires, etc. As far as billboards and bank thermometers, a lot of the sensors are mounted on roofs. You know that when you are up on a roof it is hot simply from the heat coming back off of the roof surface. Imagine what that heat does to the temperature reading.
You car thermometer will never be an accurate measure of the actual air temperature because of the environmental challenges but instead will "be in the range" of the temperature. The thermometer however will be accurate for its environment but that is as far as you can take that reading. So on days where your car is reading 110 degrees or even higher just know the temperature you are taking a picture of and posting to facebook is influenced by the concrete, the road you are driving on, the car itself and many other environmental factors. I'll give you on cooler days the temperature will be off by maybe just a few degrees from the fancy, schmancy, weather stations sensors but on days where there is a lot of re-radiated heat don't trust your temperature reading even if you are driving a shiny, new fancy car with all the bells and whistles.

While most headlines about unmanned aircrafts and farms have involved animal rights groups, universities and businesses are experimenting with ways drones can be used to a farmer's advantage.
Universities are using unmanned aircrafts to monitor crops, taking detailed pictures of high-value commodities to see things unseen by the naked eye. On top of the improved details, farmers can use the aircrafts at a much cheaper price point than aircrafts requiring a pilot.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Oregon State University is one of several universities using drones for nonmilitary purposes on the farm. The technology is part of the growing interest in precision agriculture, using new tools like iPads and GPS to monitor crops. Information gathered by precision agriculture can show crop conditions and help a producer determine which fields need more water, additional fertilizer, or protection from insects.
Currently, only farms working with universities conducting the research can use the unmanned aircrafts, but the technology will be more available once the Federal Aviation Administration established guidelines, expected by September 2015.
R.S. Tahim, President and CEO of Advanced Defense Technologies Inc., announced marketing plans in April to utilize drone and UAV technology for precision agriculture applications.
"Drones have been used for military applications for a long time but in the very near future commercial applications in the agriculture industry are definitely possible," he said. "Once autonomous aircraft are used with a high rate of success in rural areas we expect a transition toward precision agriculture and the utilization of drone technology to reduce costs and maximize yields."
The Wall Street Journal reports the unmanned aircrafts could generate more than 21,000 jobs in the agriculture industry in the first year.
