The irritation he has felt lately in his neck was showing on the face of Jonathan Ogden."J.O. wants to go out and compete, but his neck is still bothering him," Ravens right guard Jeff Blackshear said. "Even though he isn't ready to go right now, he's a hard worker who still comes out to practice to work on his technique. He's preparing to play next Thursday, so I'm looking forward to him being there."The Ravens' bye weekend came at an ideal time for Ogden, the team's 6-foot-8, 335-pound left offensive tackle.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A nasty scar runs about 3 inches toward the front of Scott Kamieniecki's neck.Its companion is a 6-inch stitch on Kamieniecki's left hip, where doctors rummaged for a sliver of bone to fuse between two vertebrae pinching his spinal cord.Since yesterday's first workout at Fort Lauderdale Stadium was all about show-and-tell, the Orioles' hoped-for No. 4 starting pitcher spent about 15 minutes proving to manager Ray Miller and pitching coach Bruce Kison that he can throw without pain, throw with feeling in the fingers of his right hand throw with purpose.

Opposing coach Greg Fuhrman called the catch "sensational.""The ball was a little behind me," said Aaron McKeegan, a Hereford High sophomore, "so I had to reach out with my right hand, stop it and pull it in just as I fell."What happened next, a neck-jamming late hit by an unidentified Franklin linebacker, could be the reason the 15-year-old was describing "probably the best catch" of his career from a room at St. Joseph Medical Center while wearing a neck brace. It was likely the last reception he will make in organized football.

Still bothered by stiffness in his neck, Scott Kamieniecki was placed on the 15-day disabled list yesterday for the second time this season, retroactive to May 23. To take his place, the Orioles have purchased the contract of right-hander Richie Lewis from the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings.Kamieniecki threw for about six minutes yesterday to determine whether he could start tomorrow against the Seattle Mariners. He wasn't available to comment last night, but pitching coach Mike Flanagan said: "It was about the same.

Darryl Turner has nightmares and a scar across his neck to remind him of the attack last fall when a jealous suitor slashed his throat."Sure, I think about it," Turner, 22, said after his assailant was sentenced yesterday in Anne Arundel Circuit Court. "The guy almost killed me."Judge Lawrence H. Rushworth sentenced Eugene Nater, 30, of the 300 block of Admiral Drive in Annapolis to 20 years in prison. Rushworth noted that Turner was lucky to be alive from the attack."The fact that we are not here on a murder charge is perhaps a matter of an eighth of an inch across Mr. Turner's neck," Rushworth told Nater.

Ravens cornerback Samari Rolle sits in his home in Florida and wears a neck brace. In 12 years in the NFL, he has never seen so many players at one position with a similar injury. During the past two seasons, starting safeties Ed Reed and Dawan Landry, starting cornerback Fabian Washington and Rolle, who had been expected to play nickel back, have all had major neck injuries. Rolle had surgery a couple of weeks ago and is out for the season. The other three players remain on the roster, but the secondary has struggled in 2009, giving up big plays and missing a lot of tackles.

Over the objections of the lawmaker representing the Annapolis Neck and amid accusations of ulterior motives, the Anne Arundel County Council has approved the first extensive rezoning of the peninsula in a decade. The zoning package "downzones" 600 acres south of Forest Drive to stop further residential growth, codifying a growth plan that residents approved four years ago. But the Republican-majority council went against the local councilman, Annapolis Democrat Josh Cohen, and County Executive John R. Leopold to "upzone" three properties along Bestgate Road - a move that critics say might open the gates to a proliferation of retail and office space along the congested corridor.

Along a quiet, two-lane road that winds toward Chesapeake Bay, Marsha and Michael Dalton savor life in a picturesque setting: Their remodeled home overlooks a creek with small farms scattered amid woodland. Across the road in the eastern Baltimore County community of Holly Neck, Neil and Beverly Schmidt relax on their screened-in front porch and watch Middle River roll by on a lazy summer afternoon. Against this placid backdrop, the couples are on opposite sides of a long-simmering dispute that has residents of the peninsula in two distinct camps.

The idea was born in the 1970s as new homebuyers began crowding onto the Annapolis Neck peninsula, but only now, after 30 years of clamoring, are residents of the traffic-choked area set to get the fire station they've wanted. In perhaps the most enthusiastically greeted segment of her budget presentation last week, County Executive Janet S. Owens proposed spending $4.5 million to build the station. The County Council still has to approve the funding, but members have supported the station before.
