CRIME SCENES Police apologize to injured boy
Alvin Williams' summer is pretty much over. The 5-year-old can't run around with his friends. Instead, he sits in a folding chair on the front porch of his grandfather's house off York Road in North Baltimore, his broken right leg wrapped in a cast and propped up on another chair. His leg was broken when a Baltimore police cruiser ran over it last week. This week, a top department officer paid Alvin a visit. Lt. Col. Michael J. Andrew brought chocolate cake, Adam Jones and Matt Wieters bobbleheads, a patch that made the child an honorary police officer and the promise of tickets to an Orioles game.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake rarely speaks of the day eight years ago when the city's dangers literally fell through her front door. But her brother's stabbing shaped the way she views violent crime and has deepened her empathy for victims and their families.

Climategate has claimed its first victim, sort of: the head of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, Phil Jones, is stepping down from his post while his university conducts an investigation. Jones is the author of many of the most offensive emails that have come to light, and richly deserves to be ousted from this and other positions, but it’s important to note that East Anglia U. could very well whitewash him and, after a few months, he could quietly return to his post. It seems clear that the alarmists’ strategy, in general, is to lie low and hope Climategate blows over.
Of course, some, like Minnesotans for Global Warming, are doing their best to make sure the scandal doesn’t fade quietly away. Here, M4GW performs “Hide the Decline”:

“I called CNBC yesterday and asked them that since climate data had been falsified that they should alert investors on their potential exposure/risk to owning or buying energy and environmental stocks. There was dead silence on the phone for a few seconds until I gave examples on their special guests’ interviews on global warming issues and how they can capitalize on climate change. If your emails go all over the country, why not suggest to your email readers to call CNBC and start asking questions about why they are silent on this issue. Their telephone is 201-735-2622. “
Ravens CB Foxworth out for year with knee injury (AP)
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Domonique Foxworth will miss the season with a knee injury. The veteran was hurt Thursday during an informal practice period. Coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Foxworth tore his ACL without being touched. The Ravens already had two cornerbacks, Lardarius Webb and Fabian Washington, coming back from knee injuries.
Nose tackle Terrence Cody, a second-round pick, passed his conditioning test Wednesday and was cleared to practice with the team.
Cody said he weighs 350 pounds.
"I'll have to admit that I was surprised this morning when he passed the conditioning test," said coach John Harbaugh, who declined to say if the Ravens put a number on what they want Cody to weigh. "But we have it on tape that will verify the results of the test. Obviously, it shows you that he was in shape. He's a little heavy right now. He's got to lose little weight, but that will happen in training camp. But the fact that he's in shape is important. That shows you that he's done the work."
The hot topic surrounding Cody since the Ravens selected him has been his eating habits.

Cameron content to run potent Ravens offense (AP)
Cam Cameron might consider taking another crack at being an NFL head coach, if the right opportunity comes along. For now, however, he's content being Baltimore's offensive coordinator -- a job that became even more attractive after the Ravens' signed standout wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Donte' Stallworth.
