Slow and steady the best way to lose weight
Small changes can make a difference! We know that one must burn approximately 3,500 calories to lose one little pound of fat.
Such a daunting task makes it tempting for people interested in losing weight quickly to take on rapid short-term diets.
The immediate problem with that is this: What happens after you go off the diet? The weight tends to return, and quick weight-loss suggestions are most likely not helping you to lose much fat, but rather to lose water weight or lean muscle tissue, the driving force behind burning those calories, which you do not want to lose.
Continuing to lose weight too quickly on very low-calorie diets can place negative demands on your body and put you at risk for developing dehydration issues, gallstones, malnutrition and electrolyte imbalances. There are even other, maybe not so serious but very uncomfortable side effects, such as irritability, headaches, dizziness and fatigue. The secret to real weight loss is taking small but lasting steps.
For the average person desiring to lose weight, a loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week is generally recommended. Slow and steady wins the race!
Baby steps
Avoid hunger pains: Do not let yourself become too hungry; it encourages you to overeat later in the day. Eating several healthy snacks a day will stave off food craving. Greek-style yogurt is a good snack that is very low in sugar. Did you know that the act of digesting foods accounts for approximately 10 percent of your calories being burned daily?
Watch what you drink: Keeping yourself well hydrated (eight glasses of water daily) is not only essential for your well-being, but will also help you feel less hungry. Work your way toward fat-free milk and avoid high-calorie coffees and sugary drinks.
Mustard for mayo: One tablespoon of mayonnaise adds about 100 calories and 10 grams of fat, while 1 tablespoon of mustard has 10 to 20 calories. Might want to try the hot spicy kind.
Nuts instead of chips: Walnuts, almonds, pistachios, pine nuts and almost all other nuts are high in protein, healthy fats, fiber and nutritional calories that help curb cravings. Without good nutrition, we lose energy, and that's when cravings set in. We often crave sugar or junk food to regain the lost energy.
An apple a day: The USDA recommends two to four servings of fruit per day; for women concerned with weight issues, it is recommended to have two servings of fruit a day, and for men, it is suggested to have three servings per day.
Eat your vegetables: The recommended amount is three to five servings a day.
A salad a day: A perfect diet meal because of its low calories and high water and fiber content. Load up on colorful veggies, fruit, some nuts and light protein, but go easy on the dressings. Adding your favorite beans is a low-calorie, high-fiber way of ensuring good nutrition. Beans also offer protein, which builds your energy needs to keep you movin'.
A cup of soup: Broth-based soups like minestrone before a meal will help you feel full and eat less. Say no to cream-based soups, usually high in calories and fat.
Move more: Standing burns more calories than sitting, and sitting burns more calories than lying down. Instead of sitting, walk around while talking on the phone; stand while folding clothes; stretch during commercial and computer breaks; walk outside five or 10 minutes, gradually increasing a little each day, until you reach 30-minute walks; buy a pedometer, which might help to motivate you when you actually notice how many steps you have taken; do yard work; keep walking or running shoes in your car for an occasional surprise walk or run, and place a set of hand weights by the television to use while watching TV. If your home has stairs, consider yourself fortunate and take many trips up and down them.
Front lunge/knee lift: Step forward with left foot, into a lunge position, with back heel lifted off floor. Keeping back straight, lower hips until front thigh is near parallel to floor, keeping knees behind toes.
Knee lift: Return to standing, bringing right knee to hip level. Tip, contract abdominals and focus straight ahead to maintain balance. Reverse lunge: Step back into a lunge position, using same form as front lunge. This lunge is preferred for people with knee issues.
Side lunge: Standing tall, feet together, step out to the left side, bending left knee while stretching out opposite leg, keeping right leg straight. Push off with left leg to return to standing.
Sitting arm reach: A stretch for back, hamstrings, buttocks and calf muscles. Sitting on floor, extend legs in front of you, flexing feet (toes up), placing one heel over toes of other foot. Sitting tall with arms stretched overhead, reach forward to ankles or toes, keeping abs contracted to prevent sagging of back.
If you are 50 or older and have not been exercising, check with your physician before beginning any exercise program.

Notre Dame Up-Ends No. 8 Connecticut, 2-1 In OT
Oct. 31, 2009
Courtesy of UConn
NOTRE DAME, Ind. - The University of Connecticut men's soccer team fell to Notre Dame 2-1 in overtime as the Irish scored in the 91st minute to take the BIG EAST victory on Saturday afternoon at Alumni Stadium in Notre Dame, Ind.
Bright Dike scored the game-winning goal in the 91st minute as the Irish improve to 10-7-1 on the year and 8-3 in the BIG EAST, while UConn moves to 10-3-3 and 7-2-1 in the conference as the Huskies picked up their first loss in the past 10 games.
UConn controlled the possession of the ball for a majority of the first half after allowing the first two shots of the contest to Notre Dame.
Steven Perry had a good look for the Fighting Irish in the ninth minute as he headed a cross from the near side of the field but his attempt went over the crossbar. The first shot on goal of the afternoon came in the 16th minute as Perry's second header attempt of the match was grabbed by UConn goalkeeper Josh Ford in front of the net.
After a misplay inside of the 18-yard box, Jeb Brovsky was able to get a foot on the ball to send a shot towards net but Ford was there once again to make his second save of the contest.
Midway through the first half, Greg King stole the ball from an Irish midfielder and dribbled down field, passing off to Alan Ponce at the top of the 18-yard box. Ponce then turned and passed back to senior Mike Pezza, who drilled a shot from about 25 yards out to put the Huskies ahead 1-0 at the 25:05 mark. For Pezza, it was his second goal of the year.
Notre Dame answered two minutes later as Brendan King put his corner kick into the goal area where Bright Dike was able to get a shot off but Ford made a diving save to stop his chance before Michael Thomas got a foot on the rebound to score his sixth goal of the season to tie the game at one.
The Irish recorded their seventh shot of the game as Brovsky's second attempt of the day was grabbed by Ford, who made his fourth stop of the afternoon.
After heading into the half time break with the score knotted at one, Notre Dame came out recording a shot immediately as Dike lined an attempt at net but again, Ford made the stop. Dike ripped another shot at the top of the 18-yard box in the 52nd minute but his attempt went wide right.
UConn generated more scoring chances in the second half as UConn was able to advance the ball into the 18-yard box for Ponce, who freed himself from two defenders to take his first shot of the game, missing wide right of the target in the 63rd minute. Both sophomore Tony Cascio and senior Toni Stahl were able to get shots off as both were blocked by an Irish defender.
On a cross into the box by Justin Morrow, Ford was able to punch the ball out of the goal area before a shot by Notre Dame's Brendan King that found an opening by Ford but junior Robert Brickley made a great sliding save just outside of the net to keep the score tied.
In the 82nd minute, Cascio made a nice move in the box to get a shot off, but his attempt was blocked by an Irish defender. Cruz Hernandez also got into the mix, drilling a shot from 25 yards out as the Notre Dame goalkeeper, Philip Tuttle, made a diving save for his first of the game.
In the first overtime period, Notre Dame wasted no time and pushed the ball up field to Dike who found the back of the net to give the Irish the victory.
Ford made six saves in today's league game, including four in the first half.
UConn will return to Storrs, Conn. on Monday, Nov. 2 to face Marquette in the Huskies' final regular season game of the year. The contest was originally scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 28 but was postponed due to inclement weather and wet field conditions. UConn will also pay tribute to its four seniors priors to the Monday night match.

Regional partnership will provide technical assistance on CHP for end-users and other stakeholders, including communities
Raleigh, NC – This week, the U.S. Department of Energy announced the launch of seven regional Combined Heat and Power Technical Assistance Partnerships (CHP TAPs) to support businesses and communities in understanding the benefits of developing CHP. The CHP TAPs support DOE in leading the regional and state deployment of CHP technologies to address "a number of our national priorities including improving the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing, increasing energy efficiency, reducing emissions, enhancing our energy infrastructure, improving energy security and growing our economy." [1]One of these regional partnerships, the Southeast CHP Technical Assistance Partnership, is located at the North Carolina Solar Center at NC State University. The Southeast CHP TAP will offer information on best practices for CHP project financing, management and state policies, market analysis tools and resources and technical site evaluations.
CHP is a significant resource that many industries and institutions in the Southeast U.S. already use to efficiently generate onsite power and thermal energy. By lowering energy consumption and improving the bottom line, CHP strengthens manufacturing competitiveness while reducing harmful emissions.
CHP technologies can also help strengthen energy infrastructure by providing sites and communities the capability to maintain power during severe weather events. Several sites in the Southeast in the hospital sector, including Shands Cancer Hospital in Gainesville, Florida and Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi, have CHP systems that have helped them continue their services during hurricane events, including Hurricane Katrina.
Recognizing the value of CHP, President Obama issued an Executive Order in 2012, establishing a national goal of developing 40 gigawatts of new CHP capacity by 2020 – a 50 percent increase from what is installed today. The Southeast CHP TAP is supporting this national goal.
The Southeast U.S. has a significant amount of potential CHP to be developed, and the Southeast CHP TAP's services are directed at identifying cost-effective CHP installations and assisting in developing the market for them. The Southeast region covers the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
For further information on the Southeast CHP TAP, visit www.southeastCHPTAP.org.

A new report by HelpAge and UNFPA states that the number of older persons is growing faster than any other age group. The landmark report "Ageing in the Twenty-first Century: A Celebration and a Challenge", underlines that, while the trend of ageing societies is a cause for celebration, it also presents huge challenges as it requires completely new approaches to health care, employment and living arrangements.
Population of over 60 year-olds to reach one billion within the decade
In 2000, for the first time in history, there were more people over 60 than children below 5. By 2050, the older generation will be larger than the under-15 population. If not addressed promptly, the consequences of these issues are likely to take unprepared countries by surprise.
Speaking at the report's launch in Tokyo, UNFPA Executive Director, Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, said: "People everywhere must age with dignity and security, enjoying life through the full realization of all human rights and fundamental freedoms."
"More action needs to be taken to achieve this for all people; new poverty goals must not exclude older people."
More than 60,000 older activists demand better rights
The report's launch will be followed by a day of global activism in which more than 60,000 older persons aged 60 or over, will be campaigning as part of Age Demands Action (ADA).
This year's ADA is shaping up to be the biggest with 61 countries including, Macedonia, Mauritius and St. Vincent joining the campaign in its sixth year.
Calling on governments to take action
From fighting against elder abuse in Kenya, to Meeting with Minister of Employment and Social Welfare in Accra, Ghana to demand the establishment of the National Council on Ageing, activists are calling on governments, international community and civil society to address the rights, concerns and needs of older persons. (C) HelpAge International
In Indonesia, a walkathon will take place in Jakarta and a march in Banda Ache. 350 older people are also taking part in a mass gymnastics event. ADA in oPt will also include a march in the Gaza strip and an exhibition with a focus on the skills and rights of older people. Older campaigners in Argentina are pushing for a regional convention on ageing and rights of older people.
ADA campaigners around the world have also been taking part in our global photo action to show the active contribution which older people make to society.
Investing in older people is essential for stronger societies
The report also includes the stories of 1,300 older men and women who participated in group discussions in 36 countries around the world. Richard Blewitt, HelpAge CEO, said: "We must commit to ending the widespread mismanagement of ageing. Global and national action plans are needed to create a pathway to transform the explosive number of people over 60 to become growth drivers and value creators.
"By revolutionizing our approach and investing in people as they age we can build stronger, wealthier societies", added Mr. Blewitt.
"Ageing is a lifelong process"
"Ageing is a lifelong process that does not start at age 60. Today's young people will be part of the 2 billion-strong population of older persons in 2050," said Dr. Osotimehin. "This report shows that, with actions taken now, we can all benefit from the longevity dividend- increasingly in the developing world - now and in the future."

Durango has suffered the loss of a fellow comrade. Peter Carver died in an avalanche Saturday in Silverton, and it is time for us to open our hearts to the families and loved ones connected to Peter, as well as his other two mates, Duncan Rothwell and Nate Klema, who survived this unfortunate experience.
I give thanks for the fond memories I shared with Peter on top of mountain peaks, shredding slopes, dancing at shows and lost in genuine conversation. His presence touched Durango, and he will live on forever in our hearts and memories. He lived 100 percent, and died doing what he loved. It saddens me that his friends were the ones to witness his end, however, what two of the finest friends to share his last moments with. My heart goes out to you, Duncan, Nate and family. Farewell, Peter.

A pleasant surprise came in the mail today with the payment for my University Bookman article on Ralph Adams Cram: a copy of the Heritage Foundation's July 10, 2007 Heritage Lectures newsletter, which reprints a June 22 talk on Russell Kirk by George H. Nash. Most conservatives — the literate ones, anyway — know of Kirk's Anglophile sensibility. But Nash also drew attention to his earlier, Jeffersonian roots:
In the summer of 1941, Kirk found himself working at Henry Ford's Greenfield Village. Even before his experiences at the Ford company, Kirk had developed a distaste for big business, big labor, and big government. His year or so at Ford did nothing to change his attitude. Indeed, his dislike of bureaucracy and what he called federal "parasites" was, if anything, increasing. He denounced the military draft as "slavery." He published his first scholarly article, in which he advocated a return to "Jeffersonian principles." All in all, his was the Midwestern libertarian conservatism of Senator Robert Taft.
Sure, but Kirk left all that behind after he went to St. Andrews, right? Not quite–not entirely:
It is sometimes said that as men become old, they revert ot the political mindset of their youth. In the final decade of his life, Kirk, it seems to me, returned more overtly–at least in his politics–to the noninterventionist, Taftite, bedrock conservatism of his boyhood. He did so, in part, under the stress of the growing quarrel between the so-called neoconservatives and their traditionalist right-wing critics, the most militant of whom took the label of paleoconservatives.
"Paleoconservative" is a fine label, I suppose, but I think Nash said it better the first time: "Midwestern libertarian conservatism" is about the finest label of all.

Gift for spelling seems to be in the genes for Pivarunas family
Every March, members of the audience at The Buffalo News Spelling Bee sit in wide-eyed awe as children try to arrange in order the letters of words many have never heard or seen before.
But if they are paying attention, they will notice that one word is almost always part of the competition: Pivarunas.
"Can I have the language of origin?"
It is Lithuanian.
"Can I have the definition?"
A person who is a phenomenally gifted speller, thanks to a combination of schooling, genetics, sibling competition, Post-It notes, positive family influence and hard work.
Can you use it in a sentence?
"I was feeling good about my chances to win the spelling bee, until I saw a Pivarunas."
OK, so you won't find the word in Merriam-Webster. Not yet, anyway. But if the clan of 12 – homeschooled in Elma by their parents Dr. Anthony and Susan Pivarunas – keeps achieving spelling greatness, someday, you might.
Year after year, the Pivarunas kids bring their A-game to the bee for all to see.
• Gregory Pivarunas, now 25 and in medical school, was the first to appear. He placed third in 2002.
• Anthony, now 20 and a geophysics major at Geneseo State College, won as a seventh grader in 2006. He went on to the national competition in Washington, D.C. In 2007, as an eighth-grader, Anthony placed seventh.
• His younger sister Anne, now 17, went to the Bee in 2009, coming in eighth.
• Elizabeth, 15, placed fourth in 2011.
• Clare, 14, is the latest Pivarunas to get The News' Bee buzzing. She placed sixth in 2012. She entered the 2013 Bee, held a few weeks ago, and placed fifth.
The good news for all the wannabe spelling champions out there? More than half of the Pivarunas clan have used up their eligibility. The bad news? There are five more, waiting in the wings, and probably reading the dictionary while you're reading this.
"We all have the bug," Susan Pivarunas says.
Anthony's 2006 victory, which led him to the stage at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in the nation's capital, galvanized the troops.
"After that it was even more exciting, because there was a possibility of going to Washington for the week," she said. "I went with him. My husband said, 'You go, you'll enjoy it more.' It was the most incredible week. He had worked really hard at it, and now here were 200-some kids who did the same thing he did. He met so many great kids, made really great friends. It was cool.
"After that, all the kids, that was their dream."
The Pivarunases' flair for spelling is such that even their errors are admirable.
One word that once flummoxed Clare was "hedonism," defined by Merriam-Webster as "the doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the sole or chief good in life."
Her family, she realized later, had gone over the word at home. But her father had pronounced it "HED-o-nism." The emcee was saying "HEE-do-nism."
Clare hesitated.
"Can the word also be pronounced "HED-o-nism'?" she asked.
The answer came back: "No."
She goofed the word. But she won her dad's approval.
Susan Pivarunas laughs at the memory. "He said, 'Clare, I'm so glad you don't know anything about hedonism.' "
'Caution: Children'
Hedonism, however you pronounce it, is not the path to good spelling. The path to good spelling is much more complicated.
The Pivarunas parents, who moved here from Chicago, make their home at the top of a hill. To get there, you must first deduce the house number, and then follow a long twisting driveway through the woods.
"Warning: Dog," reads one sign. The next sign says: "Caution: Children."
Next to the house sits a ramshackle teepee. The spellers, who love science as well as letters, fashioned it out of branches lying around. There's a swing set, and a swimming pool. The land backs up to the Buffalo Creek.
The complex is not as isolated as it seems. Dr. Anthony Pivarunas is an OB/GYN at Sisters Hospital. The kids belong to a home-schooling organization, Children of Mary. They have their friends and their peers – in departments other than spelling, that is.
The home schooling ends with eighth grade. While Clare is still taught at home, Anne and Elizabeth now attend Immaculata Academy.
All three girls, gathered around their big kitchen table one sunny morning, laugh when asked to yield their spelling secrets.
They read a lot, they admit. And we're not talking Harry Potter or "Twilight." Talk around the kitchen table turns to J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson and the Olympians," which touches on Greek myths. Clare loves Riordan's "The Kane Chronicles," which incorporates Egyptian myths.
Reading helps you recognize words. And Lizzie suggests noticing the roots of words.
One such root, she says, is the syllable "greg." It helped her spell correctly a word a friend had goofed, the word "egregious," and also the word "aggregate."
Ann remembers one Children of Mary spelling bee in which she and her sister Lizzie were both competing against the same girl. Two words helped the Pivarunases emerge victorious: "saboteur" and "raconteur." The girls had studied words with that sound.
Word puzzles help, Susan Pivarunas says, and jigsaw puzzles and Sudoku are good for reasoning. The Pivarunases, who are traditional Catholics, frequently attend Mass in Latin. Though they don't go specifically for spelling reasons, familiarity with Latin helps with the many long English words that grew from Roman roots.
One revealing artifact spotted at the Pivarunas home is a dictionary with hundreds of little colored Post-it notes stuck to its pages. Each colored note marks the spot of a different tricky word: "Adjacent." "Accommodate." "Corpuscle."
Clare said the sticky notes with the words were Lizzie's idea.
"I can find them easily," she says. "I think it's cool, 'cause it's so colorful."
Susan Pivarunas approves.
"You want a dictionary to be used, not just sitting there," she says.
She laughs.
"Drudge work is underrated," she says. "Hard work is a good virtue to cultivate."
'That slip of the tongue'
It's easy to give credit to home schooling for spelling acumen. Some of the top competitors who will take the stage next month in the National Bee will have taken that route. And the winner of the 2013 Buffalo News bee, Madeline McCoy, is also home-schooled.
However, Deb Patti, who organizes The Buffalo News' annual bee, noted that kids from conventional schools often excel.
"Our champion three years in a row, Nabeel Rahman, was from Casey Middle School," she points out.
Home-schooled kids could have an edge, though. The best spellers, judging from Patti's observations, are the children with unconventional knowledge, kids who do more than simply memorize a commonly circulated book of spelling bee words.
"You always get a number of children, you can tell they've memorized the entire book," she says. "When we have to go to the additional word list, that's when they're starting to fail. Because it can be any word from the dictionary."
Experts are quick to point out that because of texting and social media, people are doing a lot more writing and a lot less talking. But an average text or Facebook page shows that hardly anyone minds his P's and Q's.
"I've seen Facebook," Lizzie Pivarunas shudders. "It was horrendous."
Times may change, but champion spellers have always been rare. Editor and Publisher, the trade magazine of the newspaper industry, called spelling a lost art back in 1951.
Because of the challenges involved with the English language, the spelling bee – glorified in the 2002 documentary "Spellbound" and dramatized in the 2006 film "Akeelah and the Bee" – is more than holding its own as a dazzling sport. There's a reason, after all, that the biggest bee of them all is shown on ESPN and not TLC. Contestants need not only have to be able to think, but to think under pressure.
"Some are more poised than others. Some seem more relaxed," Patti said. "I'm sure they're all feeling nervous."
The Pivarunas kids have been prepared for that.
For one thing, they all play the piano. They have no pretentions of being virtuosos, but learn things they like: the theme from "The Mission"; John Denver's "Annie's Song" and a beginner's sonata by Mozart. Occasional recitals help them learn to deal with nerves.
They delight in spelling drama.
Anne fondly remembers one match that pitted her against Lizzie. "I was in eighth grade. We were the top two spellers. We kept going back and forth."
"They knew we were sisters," Lizzie beams.
So it was a win/win situation, right?
"I did win," Anne admits, laughing. "So it was even better."
The girls take some care with what they wear to the competitions. "Clare went to Lizzie for advice," Susan Pivarunas says. "Lizzie's the fashionista."
When the word is called, and the pressure is on, the Pivarunases all offer the same advice: Pray.
"I pray, and I tell myself to calm down," says Clare. "I think of the support of everyone. My sisters say, 'We're rooting for you.' "
"I also pray," says Anne. She has another tip, too: "Spell slowly."
Susan, preparing them in drills at home, is scrupulous about clarity. In competition, a speller in midspell who says a wrong letter is not allowed to go back and start again.
"We count that slip of the tongue," she says. "We pay attention to detail. I'm a math major. You have to give the right answer."
And when you don't?
Ancient rules of sportsmanship demand that one accept defeat with grace.
"Everybody remembers the word that brought them down," Susan says.
Anthony, according to meticulous family records, won his bee with "eustachian" but lost with "protrusile."
Anne, sighing, admits she was brought down by "occlusal."
And Clare, rolling her eyes, names "twoling," her nemesis in 2012, and "adiabiatic," this year's bugaboo.
Feelings never grow acrimonious, though. And anyway, there's always next year.
In 2014, 11-year-old Therese will be in sixth grade, which means she could be a contender. After that there is Joseph, 9; Catherine 7; and Thomas, 5.
The baby of the family, Monica, could prove the ultimate secret weapon. At 3, she is already starting to spell.
"She'll tease us," Susan Pivarunas laughs. "She'll say a bunch of letters in a row and try to be part of it."

Now they know they can play from behind, too.
Rallying in the final minute from their 1-yard line, the unbeaten Falcons scrambled into position for Matt Bryant's 40-yard field goal with 5 seconds remaining and pulled out a 30-28 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Atlanta (4-0) is off to its best start since 2004, when the Falcons reached the NFC championship game.
This team has even higher goals.
"We're not good enough to play every game from ahead," coach Mike Smith said. "This showed the mettle of the guys in that locker room. They showed a lot of resiliency."
No one was more resilient than Matt Ryan. Shaking off a career-high seven sacks, the Falcons' quarterback dropped back into his own end zone and threw up a pass that Roddy White snatched away between two defenders for a 59-yard gain. After a pass interference and a couple of short completions, Bryant won it with a kick right down the middle.
"We're right where we need to be in terms of our record," said Ryan, who threw for 369 yards and three touchdowns despite taking an awful beating. "In terms of our play, we've got a lot of improving to do."
After squandering a 24-14 lead in the second half, the Falcons needed a crucial fumble by Cam Newton to even have a chance — and they still faced long odds when the Panthers downed a punt at the Atlanta 1 with 1:09 remaining.
Ryan had no timeouts and surely some doubt about how much time his beleaguered offensive line would give him. But he dropped back about as far as he could, threw it about as far as he could, and relied on White to go up and make the catch.
He did, the biggest catch of all on a day when he had eight for 169 yards.
"Matt told me he was going to throw it up there. Just make a play," said White, who also had a pair of touchdowns. "Not for one second did we think we were going to lose the game."
Newton threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score. But he let the ball slip away when it looked as though he had clinched the victory for the Panthers (1-3).
"You have to protect the football," Newton said. "That was a key focus going into this game, and I fumbled. There's a lot of guys that are trusting the ballcarrier, and I was the ballcarrier that particular play to get the job done. And I dropped the ball."
On third-and-2 at the Atlanta 46, Newton took the snap and bulled his way over the left side, his body surging across the spot needed for the first down. On the sideline, several of the Panthers broke into a celebration.
But John Abraham knocked it loose, the ball squirting backward. Fullback Mike Tolbert covered it for Carolina at the 45 — 1 yard shy of a first down. After attempting unsuccessfully to draw the Falcons offside, the Panthers punted it away.
The Falcons took advantage.
Once they got Bryant in position, it was over.
The 37-year-old kicker made all three of his attempts against the Panthers, improving to 9 for 9 on the season. Since joining the Falcons during the 2009 season, he has missed only eight of 79 tries.
"Clutch," is how Ryan described him.
Charles Johnson spent so much time in the Atlanta backfield, he should've worn a Falcons jersey. He was credited with 3 1/2 sacks and hit Ryan five other times after he got the ball away.
If only Johnson could've gotten to him one more time — on that long pass to White.
"I just heard the crowd, and when I got up I was kind of in disbelief," Johnson said. "I couldn't believe what had happened. You know they were going to go deep, but that's one of the plays that we're going to have to learn from. I think it's either going to make us or it's going to break us. We'll see down the road."
Newton's fumble ruined what had been a stellar performance. He threw for 215 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown to Greg Olsen early in the game, then a 36-yard scoring play to Kealoha Pilares that put the Panthers ahead 28-24 with 7:55 remaining.
Newton also ran for 86 yards on nine carries, bulling his way into the end zone from 4 yards out late in the third quarter.
The Panthers played much better than they did in their last outing, a 36-7 home loss to the New York Giants, but it wasn't enough to prevent them from sliding a daunting three games behind Atlanta in the NFC South.
"I want to apologize to my teammates and the fans that were watching out there," Newton said. "Everybody was doing their job. I clearly had the first down, but I've just got to hold onto the football."
NOTES: Michael Turner scored on a 60-yard screen pass, the first touchdown reception of his nine-year career. ... Carolina S Haruki Nakamura had an early interception, but it was largely a day to forget. He was beaten on both of White's touchdown receptions, missed a tackle on Turner's scoring play and had the ball snatched away by White on the long pass that set up the winning field goal. ... The Falcons travel to Washington next Sunday, while Carolina hosts Seattle.

Callaway Apex Pro irons ramp up feel for better players
Back in September, Callaway unveiled its new Apex irons, which it bills as ''forged performance'' clubs. Now comes the Apex Pro edition, a tuned-up version for better players.
The Apex Pro clubs have a one-piece, 1020 carbon steel, forged construction designed specifically to deliver a soft and responsive feel – that is also a primary goal of the standard Apex clubs. The Apex Pro heads are more compact than the standard Apex clubs, and have less offset, a thinner topline, a narrower sole, and a shorter blade length from heel to toe.
One of the standout features on the Apex Pro irons is what Callaway calls its High Performance Wide Groove profile. Callaway engineers discovered that tour players and better amateurs were often generating too much spin out of the rough, largely because of high clubhead speed, reducing both distance and consistency. To remedy this, they came up with a new wide-spaced groove.
GOLF BUZZ: Callaway unveils Apex 'forged performance' irons
In addition, the Apex Pro clubface is about 17 percent thinner than the 2013 edition of the X Forged irons, which improves ball speed. Increasing ball speed was secondary to improving sound and feel on the Apex Pros, and to that end Callaway added a high-damping polymer insert in the back of the head that helps eliminate unwanted vibrations at impact.
The soles of the long irons (2-5) have tungsten inserts to lower the Center of Gravity, which produces a higher launch angle and makes easier to hit. The Center of Gravity gets progressively higher down the set from longer to shorter irons. In the 9-iron and pitching wedge, this higher CG helps flight the ball down a bit and deliver a flatter trajectory.
The stock shaft on the Apex Pro irons is the new KBS Tour V, which Callaway describes as a premium, mid-launch, low-torque steel shaft that maximizes energy transfer for a smooth feel and faster ball speeds. A graphite UST Recoil shaft will be available through custom order.
The Apex Pro irons will be available at retail in early January. Callaway hasn't yet announced a suggested retail price.

Barack Obama or Mitt Romney? Can't make up your mind based on their contrasting tax policies, views on the Middle East, ideas for reducing the deficit or whether they put their dogs inside the car or on the roof?
If you're still among the undecideds, I have a suggestion. First, find the video of Obama singing a line from the Al Green song "Let's Stay Together." Then, go to the video of Romney singing "America the Beautiful."
If you still can't make up your mind, check out the video of Obama singing a stanza from "Sweet Home Chicago" at a White House blues concert. Then, watch the video of Romney reciting the lyrics from the "Davy Crockett" theme song.
Once you've seen all these performances, you should have a pretty good idea of the vocal styles of both candidates, and you can decide which you prefer. No question, they are quite different.
Obama received an enthusiastic response to his falsetto interpretation of the line, "I-I-I-I'm sooo in love with you." People all over the country were using it as a ring tone on their phones, and sales of the song jumped 490 percent overnight.
Romney's rendering of "America the Beautiful" didn't appear to have the same impact. No one I know is turning it into a ring tone, and I don't think sales of the song have skyrocketed after Romney performed it.
Since then, he seems to have abandoned singing for recitative. He now speaks the lyrics of "America the Beautiful" as part of his standard stump speech instead of singing them, and while campaigning in Tennessee, he soliloquized the lyrics from "Davy Crockett."
For those who have forgotten or are too young to remember:
"Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he'd know every tree
Killed him a bear when he was only three -
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier"
The lyrics were well delivered in Romney's breathless, animated fashion. My only complaint is that when he got to the fourth line, he pronounced "bear" like "bare." Everyone, except Romney apparently, knows it's "bar."
I'm not sure how this vocal duel will play out. Obama certainly gets points for hipness and smooth delivery.
It's hard to imagine Romney, if he's elected, singing lines from an Al Green song at the Apollo Theater or knowing the words to "Sweet Home Chicago." In fact, it's hard to imagine him even having a blues concert in the White House, much less joining in.
But Romney's song - or lyric - choices were more openly patriotic and nostalgic. What he may have lacked in vocal virtuosity, he made up for in enthusiasm.
And, who am I to judge. I have been called vocally impaired by some harsh critics (my family). I know better; I have heard myself in the shower. (Righteous Brothers, eat your hearts out!)
As for the two candidates, it may not come down to who is the better singer but rather to their willingness to sing at all. Many of us, unless completely smashed in a karaoke bar, would be reluctant to grab a microphone and sing to a packed house.
It's nice to know that the often stiff Romney and the sometimes professorial Obama are willing to burst forth with a song - in full view of the public. It put them both in a pretty vulnerable position, while also revealing something about what kind of people they really are.
It is trite to say that their singing humanized them. We should be well aware by now that our presidents and any who aspire to the presidency are all too human.
But watching them take a whack at singing does take some of the starch out of them, lightens them up a bit. I'm not sure if that will win them millions of votes, but it probably can't hurt.
Just to be safe, though, they should stay away from opera, show tunes and karaoke bars.

Nose Fracture
A nose fracture is a break in the bones of the nose.
Facial Bones
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors for a Broken Nose
Factors that may increase your chance of a nose fracture include:
- Any condition that causes frequent falls, such as:
- Advanced age
- Seizure disorder
- Alcoholism
- Previous nose fracture or nose injury
- Participating in sports, especially contact sports
- Reckless behavior during recreational activities or driving
- Failure to wear a seat belt — keep in mind that airbags can also sometimes cause injury
Symptoms of a Broken Nose
A nose fracture may cause:
- Pain in the bridge of the nose
- Inflammation of the nose or surrounding area of the face
- Bleeding from the nose (often heavy)
- Difficulty breathing through the nose or nostril
- Discoloration of the nose
- Black eyes
Diagnosing a Broken Nose
The doctor will examine your nose and face for:
- Irregularities in the shape
- Movement of the bones of the nose and face
- Rough sensation when your nose is moved
- Pain or tenderness to touch at the nasal bridge
- Injury to the nasal septum (especially hematoma)
- Any fluid from the nose, such as blood or even cerebrospinal fluid in severe cases
Although not necessary, imaging tests may be done to confirm the fracture, and check its location and serverity. They usually are not done until the inflammation goes down. Imaging tests may include:
- X-rays
- CT scan
Nose Fracture Treatment
Treatment depends on the severity of the break. If your nose is broken and in position, the only treatment you will need is home care. It is important to be careful to not bump your nose while it heals. More severe breaks may need realignment or surgery.
Ice helps reduce inflammation and pain. Apply an ice pack to your nose for 15-20 minutes at a time. Place a towel between the ice pack and your skin.
Prescription or over-the-counter medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be given to help reduce inflammation and pain.
Realigning the Bones
If it is determined that your nose is out of position, obstructing your breathing or causing other problems your doctor may:
- Drain any blood that may have collected in or around the septum
- Set the fracture by:
- Moving the bone back to its normal position after the inflammation has gone down
- Stabilizing the bone with gauze packing on the inside and a splint or tape on the outside
Surgery may be needed to set the fracture if:
- The fracture is severe and will not heal without surgery
- The nose is severely misshapen
- The fracture impairs breathing
If you are diagnosed with a nose fracture, follow your doctor's instructions .
Preventing a Broken Nose
Broken noses may not always be preventable. To reduce your chance of getting of a broken nose, take these steps:
- Wear protective headgear with face masks when playing contact sports, or when riding a bicycle or motorcycle.
- Wear a seat belt when driving or riding in a car.

Bulldogs can make good pets in Nevada if they match your IifestyIe. The English Bulldog is a stocky breed with an intimidating appearance, but is one of the gentlest types of dogs. However, the Bulldog does have excellent guarding instincts. Bulldogs love human attention. Some bulldogs have a dominant streak and need a master who is firm and exudes leadership. Bulldogs do well with children and make great family pets. Bulldogs can live in an apartment but need a daily walk. Energy levels of Bulldogs vary widely but the breed is relatively inactive indoors. Bulldogs are prone to health problems and tend to slobber profusely.

Detroit-Based Rock Gaming Affiliate Signs Contract To Acquire Majority Ownership Of Greektown Casino-Hotel
Jan 16, 2013, 03:30 EST
DETROIT, Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rock Gaming, the Detroit-based gaming partnership announced today that one of its affiliated companies, Athens Acquisition LLC, has entered into an agreement to acquire a majority interest in Greektown Superholdings Inc., owner of the Greektown Casino-Hotel located in downtown Detroit. The acquisition, which is subject to Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) approval, is expected to provide Athens Acquisition with majority voting control of the casino, hotel and related assets.
"A primary focus of our investment strategy over the past few years has been on urban casino development in large Midwest cities, along with significant real estate investment and development in those cities," said Rock Ventures LLC CEO, Matt Cullen. "With a substantial focus on downtown Detroit, the Greektown opportunity could not be more in the epicenter of our business and civic interests," Cullen said.
Rock Gaming Chairman Dan Gilbert said, "Our plans are in the early phases, however, we envision significant investment in the Greektown Casino-Hotel, as well as the enhancement and growth of the existing entertainment district. We see this unique area extending to Campus Martius and along Woodward Avenue building on the positive momentum already occurring in the heart of downtown Detroit," Gilbert said.
Although Rock Gaming has partnered with Caesars Entertainment on other gaming developments, Caesars will play no role at this property.
About Rock Gaming LLC
Rock Gaming was formed in 2010 with an initial focus to develop full-service casinos in two of Ohio's largest cities, as well as to explore other potential gaming opportunities. The company partnered with Caesars Entertainment, the world's most geographically diversified gaming company, to develop and operate Horseshoe Casino Cleveland, which opened in May 2012, and Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, which is scheduled to open on March 4, 2013, pending licensure. The private urban casino developments, whose combined investment totals more than $1 billion, were designed to promote tourism while engaging pedestrians and supporting existing cultural, nightlife and sports attractions in both cities. With Caesars, Rock Gaming also owns Turfway Park, a Thoroughbred horseracing track located in northern Kentucky and Cleveland-area thoroughbred racetrack Thistledown, which will open as a racino in spring 2013. The partners are also developing an urban casino in Baltimore, Md. which is expected to open in 2014.
About Rock Ventures LLC
Rock Ventures LLC is an umbrella entity formed to provide operational coordination, guidance, and integration of Dan Gilbert's portfolio of companies, investments and real estate. Rock Ventures' flagship company is Quicken Loans, the nation's largest online home lender and third largest retail lender. Since 2010, Quicken Loans has moved its headquarters and more than 7,000 team members to downtown Detroit, where its family of companies are helping lead a revitalization of the city's urban core.

SNACK OF THE WEEK ..... a new part of '7Days of Chocolate Reviews' which will feature any manner of snacking product I have been products munching on in the week
Take a look at your supermarket shelves this week and you should find these new Kellogg's Rice Krispies Squares Totally Chocolatey Orange sitting there on some sort of launch deal (£1.00 for a four bar multipack in most retailers!). Yes for no apparent reason other than for giggles, Kellogg's have decided to make another limited edition flavour of their Rice Krispies Squares, these Totally Chocolatey Orange - 'crispy grains of chocolate toasted rice cereal and orange milk chocolate chunks with a chocolate flavour coating'.
I've been making my way through my four bar multi-pack this week and ultimately I'm giving them the thumbs up. On the face of things they looked no different whatsoever from the standard Totally Chocolatey flavour, however upon tasting the things it came to light that Kellogg's had done a nice job integrating the orange flavouring. It was real tasting, not too sweet and just about the right intensity, adding depth to what can sometimes seem like a rather mono-flavoured snack. If you like chocolate orange and Rice Krispies then you would be silly to let these pass by. They should make them part of the permanent range if you ask me!

The Center's Urban Wildlands Program focuses on private land development, water-supply projects and highway building in the "wildland-urban interface" — the edges of sprawling urban and suburban areas adjacent to wildlands.
It's in these places that endangered and threatened species and their habitat — and biodiversity in general — are particularly at risk due to unchecked sprawl. We bring our expertise in land-use law, water law and biology to bear on projects that threaten to tear up habitat, create pollution, exhaust water supplies and drive extinctions. Our goals are to stop unsustainable sprawl in its tracks and empower our local allies, while encouraging and working with local planners and developers to appreciate and protect the rich biodiversity of their communities.

Our Urban Wildlands Program:
• Successfully challenged Newhall Ranch a proposed new town of more than 60,000 residents on a 12,000 acre site in northern Los Angeles County along the Santa Clara River. The massive development, if allowed to move forward, would destroy habitat for many rare plants and animals, impair the last free flowing river in Southern California while sustainably contributing to climate change. In response to a Center lawsuit, the California Supreme Court ruled that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife had inadequately analyzed the proposed development anticipated 260,000 metric tons of annual GHG emissions, illegally permitted take of the fully protected unarmored threespine stickleback and improperly disregarded comments by Native American tribes about the impacts on cultural resources and steelhead. As a result, developers must go back to the drawing board and craft a project that complies with CEQA and the State's efforts to curb climate change.
• Fought back against a controversial project by the California Department of Transportation ("Caltrans") to widen Highway 1 in Pacifica. In September 2016, a Federal District Court ruled that CalTrans violated the Endangered Species Act by attempting to use an already preserved parcel of land as mitigation for impacts to endangered San Francisco garter snakes and threatened California red-legged frog resulting from the project. This decision sent a clear message to agencies that they will be held accountable for project approvals and they cannot continue to rely on uncertain and unproven mitigation measures to compensate for irresponsible transportation planning
• Protected San Diego County's water supply, fire safety, and traffic situation as well as habitat for Quino checkerspot butterflies and San Diego fairy shrimp by winning a series of court decisions regarding Fanita Ranch in 2012 that stopped a massive housing project on 2,600 acres of undeveloped chaparral, coastal sage scrub and vernal pool habitat.
• Successfully protected essential habitat of the Stephen's kangaroo rat and an important regional wildlife corridor in the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park and March Stephens' Kangaroo Rat Preserve through a series of lawsuits against multiple proposed development projects (including the Allessandro Business Park and March Air Force Base land swap). After our victories in court, developers and local agencies agreed to significant design changes and enhanced mitigation to protect this area's unique biodiversity.
• Protected the Inland Empire region's air quality, reduced further clogging of its roads, and preserved essential habitat adjacent to the biodiversity hotspot of the San Jacinto Wildlife Area through successful litigation in 2012, which stopped a sprawling development — the Villages at Lakeview — that would have placed 11,350 residential units and 500,000 square feet of commercial space far from existing development.
• Improved the outlook for tule elk, steelhead trout and other native wildlife by negotiating an enhanced conservation agreement for two already-approved quarry projects in the Sunol area in Alameda County: Apperson Ridge and Sunol Quarry .
• In a series of court victories, stopped more than half a dozen destructive San Bernardino Mountains development proposals in 2005–2008, which compelled developers and public agencies to more seriously consider the legal protections afforded the region's imperiled endemic species. Also, in 2013, the Center successfully negotiated a pre-litigation agreement to protect important pebble plains plant habitat from a proposed housing project in the city of Big Bear. The Center's early and intense involvement in this region has yielded major benefits: Since our 2008 court victory that halted the proposed Hawarden project, the Center hasn't gone to court once in this region.
• Successfully challenged San Diego County's multi-species habitat conservation plan in 2006 on the grounds that it would result in unpermitted destruction of vernal pool habitat across the county. The federal court ruling in our case had great impact across San Diego County, halting sprawl development projects and forcing the county to abandon its one-size-fits-all "get out of jail free" card for the destruction of vernal pools.

Toms Shoes Attorney general charges five
Attorney general charges five in HP case
Former Hewlett Packard Co. board chair Patricia Dunn was arraigned in Santa Clara County Superior Court in San Jose yesterday after being charged with four felonies Wednesday by California Attorney General Bill Lockyer.
HP obtained the private telephone numbers of board members and at least nine news reporters in an attempt to determine who was leaking boardroom information to the media.
The conspiracy charge carries a sentence of up to one year in prison and a maximum of $25,000 in fines. Convictions on each of the other three charges could result in up to three years in prison, plus fines of up to $10,000 each.
Dunn, who is also being treated for advanced ovarian cancer, is surrendering voluntarily, as will Hunsaker, who is being represented by Palo Alto criminal lawyer Tom Nolan.
Two of the investigators, Ron DeLia of Boston and Bryan Wagner of Littleton, Colo., have agreed to voluntarily surrender and will travel to California to do so, probably within the next week, according to the attorney genera Toms Shoes l's office. They will likely face bail of $50,000 each. There is no word on whether bail will be sought for Dunn or Hunsaker.
The fifth person charged, Matthew Depante of Melbourne, Fla., has not yet been contacted by the attorney general's office.
In his press conference Wednesday in Sacramento, Lockyer said the investigation "remains active and is still incomplete," indicating that other people could be charged. But that probably won't include Toms Shoes HP CEO and board chairman Mark Hurd, as Lockyer said t Toms Shoes here is currently no evidence that Hurd broke any laws.
The criminal complaint filed Wednesday in Santa Clara Superior Court alleged that Dunn gave DeLia the home, cellular and office phone numbers of HP board members. It alleged that Hunsaker knew that investigators "obtained phone records by ruse" and that he gave outside investigators the home, cellular and office phone numbers of HP officials.
The complaint alleges that Dunn and Hunsaker hired DeLia to find the source of boardroom leaks to the media; DeLia hired ARG; and Wagner, employed by ARG, "performed the actual work of unlawfully obtaining phone records through false pretenses."
"One of our state's most venerable corporate institutions lost its way as its board sought to find out who leaked confid Toms Shoes ential company information to the press," Lockyer said. "In this misguided effort, people inside and outside HP violated privacy rights and broke state law. On behalf of Californians, who cherish privacy so much they enshrined the right in our state constitution, those who crossed the legal line must be held accountable."
Toms Shoes Attorney for Superior mother a
Attorney for Superior mother accused of smothering baby points to SIDS
An attorney for the Superior mother accused of suffocating her baby by putting plastic bags and blankets over his face pressed the deputy coroner Wednesday about whether the 6 month old boy could have suffered Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
"You see a number of the same symptoms in asphyxia as you would in a SIDS death?" Katherine Herald, one of Stephanie Rochester's defense attorneys, asked Boulder County Deputy Coroner John Meyer during a preliminary hearing in Boulder's district court.
Meyer agreed, adding that as is the case in many SIDS deaths, he was unable to nail down a time of death for Rylan Rochester, who was pronounced dead June 1 after his parents took him to Avista Adventist hospital in Louisville Toms Shoes .
But an autopsy didn't uncover any fibers in Rylan's nose, mouth or lungs, Meyer testified during Wednesday's preliminary hearing, held to determine whether enough evidence exists for a case to proceed.
The judge ruled that it did, and Rochester is still being held without bond in Boulder County Jail.
"Yo Toms Shoes u could have ruled Rylan's death SIDS," Harold told Meyer. "The only reason you classified the death as asphyxia is because of Mrs. Rochester's statements."
Prosecutors played video of those statements in court Wednesday, and Rochester wept in the courtroom and covered her eyes.
In the video, she said she and her husband, Lloyd Rochester who filed for divorce shortly after her arrest couldn't afford their Superior house and she didn't think she could handle having a disabled child.
She said she had been concerned the baby had autism, even though doctors said he developing normally, and had taken Rylan to Children's Hospital the night she's accused of smothering him. She and her husband left without being seen, she said.
"When we got home, we started cooking dinner, and Lloyd just seemed so happy when it was just me and him," she said. "I just felt he was really stressed at the doctor's office and he seemed angry and said, 'I didn't think it was going to be like this.' "That really hurt," Rochester said in the recorded interview. "I don't want to blame him, but I felt like it was my fault. So I thought I had to so something."
Rochester said she "just wasn't feeling safe" and thought, "I don't know if I can handle this. I've suffered enough in my life, and I cannot suffer any more."
She talked about how she placed a plastic Target bag over Rylan's head on the night of May 31 for a minute or so.
"But I couldn't do that in my heart, so I pulled it away and threw it away," she said. "I just couldn't do it."
Later, after the couple ate dinner and talked about wanting to "have fun," Rochester said she went back upstairs and put blankets over the baby's face. She said they went to pack for an upcoming trip to Cape Cod and she took the blankets off at one point before putting them back on later.
"I didn't have a plan," she said in the taped interview. "I was just reacting. I don't know."
In the morning, when Rochester awoke to find her baby not breathing, she said, "I just lost it."
"He wasn't there any more," she said before breaking down and putting her head in her hands.
The couple rushed to Avista Adventist, where staff members said they were acting appropriately for the situatio Toms Shoes n.
According to te Toms Shoes stimony Wednesday from Boulder County sheriff's detective Don Dillard, an emergency room chaplain said the case appeared to be a "SIDS death."
"She was following protocol after a SIDS death," Dillard testified. "That includes giving them both time alone with their baby."
Toms Shoes attorney files motion to suppr
attorney files motion to suppress evidence in marijuana case
Bowe was pulled over during a traffic stop on Nov. 10 in Riverside. The motion contends the search of his vehicle and person was conducted without a valid warrant, without probable cause and in an Toms Shoes unreasonable manner. It also contends Bowe statements were obtained without police reading him Miranda rights.
If a judge accepts the motion, the evidence in the case will be thrown out, though the speeding charge could still stand.
Bowe, who has an April 16 court date, said during a radio interview in January that he believed he was profiled during the traffic stop. Regan, clarifying what happened that night.
don believe I was racially profiled, Bowe said in the statement. believe I was pulled over for speeding. I have seen the police reports and videos given to my attorney in this case, and I want people to know I was treated with courtesy and respect by the police. I regret speeding in Riverside and have driven through Riverside many times since Nov. 10 without a problem. to the police, Bowe was pulled over for traveling 48 mph in a 35 mph zone. While speaking to Bowe, an officer detected what he suspected was a strong marijuana odor coming from inside his car, police said.
The motion contests there was an indication of consumed marijuana in the vehicle roaches no paraphernalia, lighters, matches or other forms of combustion. The motion also says the marijuana that was eventually found in the vehicle sealed in air tight capsules in a closed bag, it would be physically impossible for a human nose to detect any odor of smoked marijuana emanating from the vehicle. to police, after Bowe and two passengers got out of the car before a police dog checked for illegal substances, Bowe said had smoked a little marijuana while waiting at the airport.
The motion also disputes this, saying the occupants of the vehicle repeatedly denied consuming marijuana. The police report states the officer audio system went down prior to the arrest, and the motion says most of the encounter between Bowe and the officer is inaudible.
Bowe vigorously disputes certain statements attributed to him that are not on Toms Shoes tape, the motion states. should further be noted that his audio worked fine until the search of the vehicle. officer eventually arrested Bowe after finding a black bag containing his wallet, driver license and two containers of what the officer suspected to be marijuana.
One of Bowe passengers, George A. Thompson, said the bag belonged to him, police said, and during a search of Thompson, police also found two hand rolled cigarettes, containing 2.2 grams of suspected marijuana.
The motion states that Thompson indicated under oath that all the marijuana found in the car is his and that Bowe had no knowledge of its presence.
The motion also contends Bowe never gave consent to a search of his vehicle, alleging that one of the officers tried to coerce him into consenting to a search by telling him that the police dog on the scene an aggressive The motion says Bowe still refused to give consent, however, and argues that what followed was a warrantless search that led to his arrest.
only did the officer use coercive tactics in an attempt to pressure Mr. Bowe into consenting to a search of his vehicle by threatening to scratch up the interior of his car, the officer went ahead and searched the vehicle without any consent of Mr. Bowe, and without probable cause, the motion states.
Finally, the motion contends all statements Bowe made before he was eventually read his Miranda rights and taken to jail should be suppressed.
Bowe, 29, signed a five year, $56 million extension before last season and has a cap number of $12 million this year. He caught 57 passes for 673 yards and five touchdowns in 2013, one of the worst statistical seasons of his career, but has also vowed to report to camp in better shape.

(Reuters) - All baby boomers should be tested at least once for the liver-destroying hepatitis C virus, according to proposed guidelines from U.S. health officials released on Friday.
The often undiagnosed virus is contracted through contact with blood from an infected person. While the risk of infection has dropped dramatically since the early 1990s, many older adults are still at risk, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which released the draft guidelines.
According to the CDC, one in 30 baby boomers - the generation born from 1945 through 1965 - has been infected with hepatitis C, and most do not know it.
The virus causes serious liver diseases, including liver cancer - the fastest-rising cause of cancer-related deaths - and is the leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.
The CDC said in a statement it believes routine testing will address the largely preventable consequences of the disease, especially in light of newly available therapies that can cure up to 75 percent of infections.
The field has attracted broad interest with two new hepatitis C drugs -- Incivek from Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc and Merck & Co's Victrelis - reaching the U.S. market in the past year.
Companies including Gilead Sciences and Bristol-Myers Squibb aim to improve on those medicines with pills that do not need to be combined with injections of immune system boosters, which have side effects that can deter patients.
More than 15,000 Americans, most of them baby boomers, die each year from hepatitis C-related illness, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Current U.S. guidelines call for testing only individuals with certain known risk factors for hepatitis C infection.
The CDC said it will accept public comment on the draft recommendations from May 22 to June 8.

The Tampa Bay Rays have completed a three-team trade with the Cincinnati Reds and Arizona Diamondbacks, acquiring catcher Ryan Hanigan from Cincinnati and right-handed relief pitcher Heath Bell from Arizona. The Rays send minor league right-handed pitcher Justin Choate and a player to be named to Arizona, and the Diamondbacks send left-handed pitcher David Holmberg to Cincinnati. The Rays also receive cash considerations from Arizona.
The Rays and Hanigan agreed to a three-year contract extension covering the 2014, 2015 and 2016 seasons, with a club option for 2017, worth a guaranteed $10.75 million. In addition, Hanigan will make a donation to the Rays Baseball Foundation.
Hanigan, 33, had spent the duration of his seven-year major league career with the Reds (2007-13). The right-handed hitter owns a career .262 batting average and .359 on-base percentage, with more walks (189) than strikeouts (159). He has made three trips to the postseason, including the 2013 National League Wild Card Game. Limited by two stints on the disabled list in 2013, he batted a career-low .198 (44-for-222) with two home runs, 21 RBI, 29 walks and a .306 on-base percentage in 75 games. A strained left oblique sidelined him for 2-1/2 weeks (April 21–May 9) and a sprained left wrist for nearly a month (July 11–August 8).
In 2013, Hanigan caught 40 percent of attempted base stealers (12 of 30), third highest among all major league catchers with at least 50 games played behind Yadier Molina (42.2) and A.J. Ellis (40.7). In 2012, he gunned down 43.3 percent (26 of 60), second to Molina (45.7). Hanigan has caught two no-hitters, both by Homer Bailey, in 2012 and 2013. The Andover, Mass., native attended Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., and has spent more seasons in the majors than all but one Rollins alum: catcher Zack Taylor (16 seasons from 1920-35).
Bell, 36, has recorded 168 career saves over 10 major league seasons with the New York Mets (2004-06), San Diego Padres (2007-11), Miami Marlins (2012) and D-backs (2013). His 166 saves over the past five seasons (2009-13) rank third in the majors after Jonathan Papelbon (173) and Mariano Rivera (170). He is one of two pitchers in the majors, along with lefthander Matt Thornton, to appear in 60 or more games in each of the last seven seasons. From 2009-11 with the Padres, Bell led the major leagues with 132 saves and was named to the National League All-Star Team in three consecutive seasons. He owns a career 3.39 ERA and has 625 strikeouts in 611.1 innings pitched.
In 2013, Bell went 5-2 with 15 saves and a 4.11 ERA (65.2-IP, 30-ER) in 69 games for Arizona. He recorded 72 strikeouts and only 16 walks, establishing a career-best 2.19 walks per nine innings. Bell posted a 1.96 ERA (36.2-IP, 8-ER) away from Chase Field. He also pitched for Team USA in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, his second time taking part in the tournament (2009).
This is the third three-team trade in Rays history, the first in a decade and the first under Executive Vice President, Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman. The last such deal occurred on December 14, 2003, when the Rays dealt left-handed pitcher Joe Kennedy to the Colorado Rockies and acquired lefthander Mark Hendrickson from the Toronto Blue Jays. The other occurred on January 8, 2001, when the Rays sent right-handed pitcher Roberto Hernandez to the Kansas City Royals and righthander Cory Lidle to the Oakland Athletics and received outfielder Ben Grieve from Oakland.

The New York Jets have taken their defense of quarterback Mark Sanchez to a whole new level, throwing teammate Tim Tebow under the bus.
In a revealing article in the New York Daily News, various players from the Jets' verbally attacked the team's backup quarterback.
"He's terrible," a defensive starter said of Tebow.
With the team struggling with a 3-6 record, Jets' players are shifting the blame away from Sanchez, who has a league-low 52% completion rate, and instead putting the focus on the ongoing debate over who should be the team's starting quarterback.
According to an undisclosed Jet's player, "nobody" wants Tebow as the starting quarterback.
Even though coach Rex Ryan has publicly supported Sanchez, constant public scrutiny on the team's performance has caused some to question this decision.
While it is expected that Sanchez's teammates would defend their team's leader, their very critical reviews of Tebow seem to some as more personal than professional.
When asked about who should fill the quarterback role for the Jets, Left guard Matt Slauson said the choice was clear.
"I have all the confidence in Mark," said Slauson. "We don't really have a choice."
Asked by the Daily News as to what he thinks of the team's two other quarterbacks, Tebow and Greg McElroy, Slauson's response echoed his teammates sentiments.
"We have Greg . . . and we have an athlete," Slauson said.
Referencing Tebow's comeback season last year as the quarterback for the Denver Broncos, one Jets' organization member made a religious quip at the highly publicized athlete.
"Now we're depending on miracles?" the member said. "You can't play that way."

All About Chocolate
Everything you want to know about chocolate
Sometimes the dip is the best part of a dish. Fries without ketchup or mayo? Tortilla chips without salsa? No thanks. These sauces, condiments, and dressings can be an essential part of the dish, and there's just something about dipping that makes your dining experience automatically seem more casual and fun.
I usually want to ask for two more servings of any good dip, but sometimes hesitate. After giving so much thought to the best dips around town and talking to restaurants about them, I say hey, why not! They should know they've got a great dip and that you're enthusiastic about it. Maybe they'll up the portion, or just keep it on the menu.
Regardless of whether you devour dips with gusto or just want a tiny bit to complement your fried fare, there's no shortage of options around town, ranging from fudge desserts to mayo packed with Indian flavors.

DETROIT (AP) — After recovering from an undisclosed illness, Aretha Franklin is returning to the concert stage with a December performance in her hometown of Detroit.
The Detroit News (http://bit.ly/1h3Gbms ) says the Queen of Soul will sing Dec. 21 at the MotorCity Casino Hotel's Sound Board.
Franklin is involved in recording an album for Clive Davis and Sony Music in November, produced by Don Was and Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds.
