Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito (68) and tackle Jonathan Martin (71) stand on the field during practice in Davie, Fla. on July 24, 2013.

Attempting to provide context for his treatment of teammate Jonathan Martin, Richie Incognito claimed he also received a threatening text message. The suspended Miami Dolphins guard made this revelation when he sat down with Jay Glazer of FOX Sports to discuss the Dolphins' bullying scandal involving him and Martin. A second-year offensive tackle, Martin abruptly left the Dolphins on Oct. 28 to receive treatment for emotional distress. Incognito, once named the NFL's dirtiest player in a poll of his peers, was subsequently suspended by the Dolphins on Nov. 2 for unspecified misconduct related to alleged mistreatment of Martin.

"People don't know how John and I communicate to one another," Incognito explained to Glazer. "For instance, a week before this went down, Jonathan Martin texts me on my phone: 'I will murder your whole effing family.' Now, did I think Jonathan Martin was going to murder my family? Not one bit. I knew it was coming from a brother. I knew it was coming from a friend. I knew it was coming from a teammate."

Hours after the interview aired on FOX on Sunday afternoon, David Cornwell, an attorney for Martin, shared a profane Internet meme featuring a smiling woman and a dog on Twitter and indicated this was the message that Incognito mentioned to Glazer.

Is that what viewers had in mind as Incognito recalled the text message?

Incognito referenced the text from Martin when asked about the threatening voice and text messages he had reportedly sent that included racial slurs. Speaking with Glazer, Incognito confirmed leaving the following voicemail for Martin, who is bi-racial.

“Hey, wassup, you half n—– piece of [expletive] . . . I saw you on Twitter, you been training ten weeks. [I want to] [expletive] in your [expletive] mouth. [I'm going to] slap your [expletive] mouth. [I'm going to] slap your real mother across the face (laughter). [Expletive] you, you’re still a rookie. I’ll kill you.”

Although he did expressed embarrassment over the voicemail, Incognito cited the text from Martin as evidence that both players traded similar threats in jest. He portrayed a locker room culture where such language was acceptable.

"When I see that voicemail, when I see those words come across the screen, I'm embarrassed by it," Incognito said after he was presented with a transcript of the offensive voicemail he left for Martin. "I'm embarrassed by my actions. But what I want people to know is, the way Jonathan and the rest of the offensive line and how our teammates, how we communicate it's vulgar. It's not right."

Cory Booker goes to Washington a celebrity and Senator

WASHINGTON - WASHINGTON (AP) - when the U.S. Senate passed a Bill to ban discrimination against homosexuals and transsexuals, people your new Member's first impulse was to scream with joy. Then remembered where was.

On the other hand, Cory Booker reached in his pocket for his phone.

"I have everything via Twitter," said Booker, which has 1.4 million followers.

Booker, 44-year-old former Democratic Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, entered in the Congress as a rookie Senator rare with celebrity status. It has been dubbed a mayor by Oprah Winfrey rock star, has been called a hero for pulling a neighbour from his burning home in 2012 and hobnobbing with Matt Damon.

During his first week in the Congress, Booker tried to balance immersion in his new job with standing of his colleagues in the Senate already serious 99. Booker allowed The Associated Press to its comings and goings of the shadow.

"The model encouraged you to follow when Franken or Hillary Clinton," said Delaware Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat and a friend of Booker. "People who came to the Senate with large national profiles but showed the will to work, to eat, to visit every corner of their State and really focus on the interests of the hogar-estado".

Coons came into the Senate after a special election in 2010. It is helping Booker, who also won a special election, sails and knows what it is to start working with no orientation and a minimum of staff.

After an oath that fills on 31 October with the media and fans, Booker has been mostly out of the spotlight. He is studying the minutiae of the rules of the Senate and he has participated in many meetings. It has worked in the Senate gym to meet with colleagues and attended a bipartisan prayer breakfast.

Known for his soaring oratory and confidence, is now listening to and making questions, sometimes seem overwhelmed or confused - and shows flashes of his brash sense of humor in the midst of the business of the day.

At his first hearing on Wednesday of the Committee, joked that "I still have that smell new Senator" after saying that the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which would devastate higher flood insurance rates New Jersey areas.

Vice President Joe Biden asked if he could lie down on the couch. And responded to a question on Twitter about his thoughts on working with romances: 'no! Especially if you have 99 colleagues in 1 body more August world".

Two times he went to the White House. He joined a group of Democratic Senators Wednesday, and hours after being sworn in, had a private visit with President Barack Obama.

"There was a guy with a soccer ball and took it, and the President and I had a small problem," said Booker, who played football at Stanford. Obama, said, congratulated his spiral.

Booker was the first to arrive at a Democratic caucus lunch Tuesday, building up your plate with vegetables. He had peeled plastic wrap from a bowl as Luisiana Senator Mary Landrieu came. The two towards the back of the room and sat down.

"Senator Menéndez came and said: 'That's my seat'." And of course I went into panic,"said Booker. "Would at first I said to myself, ' Oh my God, really sitting in your seat?'" Another Senator came and I tried to play the same trick on me."

Booker and his mother, Carolyn, met privately with Harry Reid of Nevada majority leader. Father of Booker, Cary, suffered a stroke in August shortly after moving to Las Vegas, and days before the Democratic primary Booker. Reid visited his bedside table at night, and when he died on 10 October, Reid approached Booker and his family.

In many ways, Booker is only a man accustomed to a new job - learning the rules and his colleagues, as everyone has had at some point.

It received its first vote minutes after being sworn in and thought votes were cast by pressing a button or a lever. On the other hand, he learned, "raise your hand." In a vote, Booker lost its name while chatting with colleagues and marked by the Secretary of the Senate, vote Yes with a thumbs-up.

It brought a directory of Congress Thursday and observed carefully, occasionally glancing to match it with a Senator with a photo of each speaker. He is also learning how to navigate the maze that is the Capitol and its office buildings.

"This is the way home?" he asked his Chief of staff as the two crossed the basement of the Senate.

He said he plans to advocate for the residents of New Jersey, waiting to make sure that they receive unclaimed income credits and help victims of superstorm Sandy. He met with ethics official to see how you can make the associations public - private for New Jersey, as he did in Newark - most famous with a donation of $100 million of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg founding schools of the city.

And although he has been caring for his manners, it is still the same Cory Booker. A stalwart supporter of gay rights, finally left that cry into his office after the vote of labour discrimination.

"Call all in New Jersey," Booker told his staff, "and tell them that we are a step closer to a nation equal."

LSU fan acts as a dinosaur on national television

A student at Lousiana State University acted as a dinosaur on national television this weekend.

After a touchdown in the LSU game against Alabama, CBS cameras connected to a section of fan of the Tigers held and slowly focused on the engineering of Caleb Bates student. He was not encouraging, it was only meant to be a Tiranosaurio Rex.

We believe that this is one of the ways that Bates strives to serve as a model to follow for students in all aspects of University life,' by your LinkedIn page.

It was inevitable that people would begin to make.GIFs of imitation of dinosaur Bates spliced with the filming of "Jurassic Park".

Now, of course, Bates is milking his new reputation as a faux-dino.

He tried to get out of bed this morning but my small arms were doing really difficult.

-Caleb Bates (@calebates) on November 10, 2013

You're going to hear me rrroooo oh oh oh oh oh a or.

'Downton Abbey' Renewed For Fifth Season

AppId is over the quota

NEW YORK -- NEW YORK (AP) — "Downton Abbey" will return for a fourth season in January, but now PBS is announcing the series will be back for at least one more after that.

"Masterpiece" executive producer Rebecca Eaton says Downton fans can "rest easy knowing that a fifth season is on the way."

The celebrated British costume drama focusing on the elite Crawley family will air its fourth season on "Masterpiece" beginning Jan. 5. Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern and Jim Carter are among its stars.

Earlier this year, more than 24 million viewers watched the third season of the series in the U.S., making it the most-watched drama in PBS history.

60 Minutes apologizes for report of Benghazi: 'We are very distressed'

'60 Minutes' issued a brief apology in the air and correction on Sunday for his sloppy, damaged report in Benghazi attacks, but gave few details on the failures that led to the retraction of one piece had defended unconditionally.

Speaking of Dylan Davies, the man discredited in the heart of his work, correspondent Lara Logan told viewers, "we realized we had been deceived, and that it was a mistake to include it in our report." For this reason, we feel very distressed."

The venerable program forced an embarrassing retreat after had defended himself during a week on the reliability of Davies, a British security official. On Thursday night, it was revealed that Davies - who had already admitted to lying to a superior about his whereabouts on the night of the attack - had also said the FBI came close the American compound when it was held, a statement totally at odds with the detailed, heartbreaking story told "60 minutes".

It was the second apology on the air delivered by Logan. On Friday, he was on television to say that it was "wrong" that have put Davies in the air.

As it was expected, its Sunday mea culpa offered little insight into why Davies was chosen as a key source for the report, and why '60 minutes' had so fervently defended it, even in the midst of growing evidence of its lack of reliability. Also unmentioned was what role, if any, corporate ties played in the placement of Davies in the heart of the piece. A conservative stamp of Simon and Schuster, which is owned by CBS, had published a book about Davies Benghazi. That book is already removed.

Many observers of the media was impressed less pronounced:

Well, my prediction was accurate. A minimalist correction and an apology from @60Minutes tonight. Least can admit.

-Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu) on November 11, 2013

Miley Cyrus Smokes A Joint On Stage At The EMAs

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - NOVEMBER 10: Miley Cyrus accepts award onstage during the MTV EMA's 2013 at the Ziggo Dome on November 10, 2013 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. (Photo by Kevin Mazur/WireImage)

Miley Cyrus kept her MTV Europe Music Awards performances pretty tame, but we're guessing she knew she'd get people talking with her EMAs acceptance speech.

All eyes were on the 20-year-old singer as she went to collect the award for Best Video for "Wrecking Ball," telling the crowd she didn't think she would be able to fit the award in her purse as she put the trophy on the ground.

Cyrus went on to thank her fans for making the award happen, before she started digging through her bag and pulled out what appeared to be a joint. "I couldn't fit this award in my bag, but I did find this," she said holding up the joint before sparking it up.

Cyrus isn't shy about her love of marijuana. In September she told Rolling Stone, "I think weed is the best drug on earth," and since she's been in Amsterdam for the EMAs, she's reportedly been hitting up the city's famous coffee shops that allow patrons to enjoy all the weed they want.

Though it's sold openly in cafes, marijuana still isn't legal in the Netherlands, however smokers in possession of less than five grams of cannabis have no fear of prosecution, according to the Associated Press.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story misspelled the song "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus.

Avis de l'Efsa sur la consommation de lactose en cas de d�ficit en lactase

AppId is over the quota
10/10/2010 L?Efsa , l? agence europ?enne de s?curit? alimentaire, vient de rendre un avis sur le seuil de lactose tol?r? en cas de d?ficit primaire en lactase.

L?EFSA rappelle que la diminution de l?activit? lactasique apr?s le sevrage est un ph?nom?ne normal , mais que le lactose non dig?r?  peut, en arrivant dans le c?lon, entra?ner chez certains sujets des signes digestifs  (ballonnements, douleurs abdominales, diarrh?e?) correspondant ? ce que l?on appelle l?intol?rance au lactose.

D?ficit en lactase n?est pas synonyme d?intol?rance au lactose, tout d?pend de l?activit? lactasique r?siduelle et de la quantit? de lactose consomm?e. L?Efsa estime qu?il est impossible de d?terminer un seuil de tol?rance pour tous les hypolactasiques du fait de la grande variabilit? individuelle. Mais l?analyse de l?ensemble des sonn?es scientifiques indique que la grande majorit? de ces sujets peuvent consommer en une seule fois 12 g de lactose (soit 1/4 L de lait) sans probl?me, et sans doute plus lorsque la consommation de lait est fractionn?e en plusieurs prises au cours de la journ?e.

26/04/2011 Pour la Soci?t? Fran?aise de P?diatrie, le lait est un aliment essentiel. Extrait du communiqu? :
? Pour les enfants priv?s de lait [?], c?est un risque de carence en calcium qui survient. Un risque qui de fait, n?est pas facilement objectivable au pr?sent et ne se traduit par rien de visible. Pourtant l?os de l?enfant se min?ralise mal et ce n?est que plusieurs ann?es voire plusieurs d?cennies plus tard que la catastrophe prendra toute son ampleur : fractures faciles notamment chez les femmes apr?s la m?nopause, mais aussi fractures de fatigue chez l?homme sportif. ?

La fusion de l?Afssa et de l?Afsset est n?e d?un long travail de concertation. Lequel a re-confirm? les acquis des deux agences (comp?tence scientifique, ind?pendance et s?paration entre ?valuation et gestion des risques, ouverture, transparence, caract?re collectif et transdisciplinaire, ...).

L?Anses travaille aujourd?hui activement ? la mise en place des instances n?cessaires ? son mode innovant de gouvernance, et ? la consolidation de son programme de travail.

Il s?agit ? la fois d?assurer la continuit? des travaux engag?s sous l??gide de l?Afssa et de l?Afsset et de tirer tout le b?n?fice des synergies nouvelles. Ainsi, certaines probl?matiques, ? l'interface des deux agences, devraient ?tre mieux couvertes.

Ce regroupement fait na?tre dans le paysage international un acteur clairement identifiable et un interlocuteur privil?gi? au niveau europ?en.

Les 3 recommandations prioritaires de l?Anses afin de r?duire le risque de certains cancers sont :
?    r?duire la consommation de boissons alcoolis?es,
?    promouvoir une alimentation ?quilibr?e et diversifi?e,
?    promouvoir la pratique d?activit? physique.

L?Anses pr?cise que ?  ces trois recommandation n?ont pas pour objectif de cibler la consommation ou l??viction d?un aliment ou d?un nutriment [?] en particuliers. ?

Pol�mique : poids, mortalit� et rigueur scientifique

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
4/07/2013 Les personnes en surpoids (25kg.m-2? IMC< 30kg.m-2) ont 6% de chance de moins de mourir que les personnes de poids normal ? telle ?tait la conclusion d?une ?tude de Katherine Flegal, ?pid?miologiste au National Center for Health Statisftics de Hyattsvill, Maryland, parue en janvier 2013 dans le Journal of the American Medical Association. Cette m?ta-analyse incluait 97 ?tudes et portait sur 2,88 millions de sujets en tout.
Mais l?observation selon laquelle la mortalit? des personnes en surpoids est inf?rieure ? celle des personnes de poids normal a provoqu? une vive pol?mique, le fait ?tant difficile ? accepter pour une part de la communaut? scientifique.

En particulier, le c?l?bre Pr Walter Willet, ?pid?miologiste am?ricain de la Harvard School, a publiquement d?clar? que cette ?tude ?tait ? un ramassis d?ordure et que personne ne devrait perdre son temps ? la lire. ? Mais cette d?claration d?une rare vigueur fait elle-m?me l?objet d?une vive mise au point dans un article paru dans la prestigieuse revue Nature.

Selon cette article de Nature intitul? ? The big fat truth ?*  : les propos simplistes du Pr Willet font fi des donn?es scientifiques et, en encourageant un strict contr?le du poids, sont r?ellement dangereux.

La mortalit? selon l?IMC suit globalement une courbe en J, les personnes les plus minces et celles ? la corpulence la plus ?lev?e ont la mortalit? la plus forte. Si l?on divise la population en cat?gories d??ge (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 ans), on s?aper?oit que pour les 20, 30, 40 et 50 ans, la mortalit? la plus faible est situ?e dans les limites de l?IMC normal mais s??l?ve avec l??ge et se rapproche progressivement de la zone du surpoids. En science et en m?decine, rien n?est ou tout noir ou tout blanc. Pour les 60 et 70 ans, le plus bas taux de mortalit? est dans la zone de surpoids. A 60 ans ?tre ? la limite de l?insuffisance pond?rale est m?me plus risqu? que d??tre ob?se et beaucoup plus que d??tre en surpoids? Insistons sur le fait qu?? 60 ans on est un ? jeune senior ? le plus souvent encore actif et avec une esp?rance de vie non n?gligeable devant soi.

Ces observations peuvent ?tre contre-intuitives pour certains professionnels de sant? et, bien entendu, le fait que le surpoids soit associ? ? une augmentation du risque de certaines pathologies et en m?me temps ? une baisse de la mortalit? para?t, a priori,  paradoxal et impossible. Il est vrai que clamer sans pr?caution que le surpoids est associ? ? une moindre mortalit? peut brouiller les messages de sant? publique et les rendre incompr?hensibles. Or, l?ob?sit? est sans ?quivoque possible un probl?me de sant? majeur et la lutte contre ce fl?au reste une priorit?.

Malgr? tout, l??tude de Flegal m?rite enti?rement l?attention qu?on lui a port?e et ses observations doivent ?tre discut?es sereinement et prises en compte par les communaut?s scientifique et m?dicale.

* ? The big fat lie ? signifie ? le gros mensonge ?, il y a un donc un jeu de mot difficile ? traduire op?r? en rempla?ant ? lie ? (mensonge) par ? truth ? (v?rit?) derri?re ? big fat ? (gros gras).

NBC, CBS Retract Identity Of Navy Yard Shooter

NBC and CBS were forced to retract initial reports about the identity of the shooter responsible for the deaths and injuries at the Navy Yard in Washington on Monday.

Both networks identified the same man as the shooter, and then had to walk those reports back:

BREAKING. @johnmillercbs advises the initial reports identifying the suspected shooter as Rollie Chance are wrong.

— Charlie Kaye (@CharlieKayeCBS) September 16, 2013

NBC News: we are now NOT reporting name of shooter; retracting that report. deleting those tweets

— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) September 16, 2013

NBC's Pete Williams said the error came from sources who found an ID card that looked like the suspected gunman:

.@PeteWilliamsNBC says name circulating "is not the shooter," but the name of a man who dropped ID card. #NavyYardShooting

— Andrea Mitchell (@mitchellreports) September 16, 2013

The false reports were perhaps the most prominent errors in a day filled with confusing and contradictory information.

The shooter was later identified as Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old from Fort Worth, Texas.

Looking For The Bed Of Your Dreams? Think Outside The Box Spring With These Fanciful Roosts

We all know a bed should be comfortable. But there's something else a bed should be: welcoming. At the end of a long day, when you walk into your bedroom, your heartbeat should slow as you look at this refuge from a fast-paced world. Maybe I expect too much from my bed; but, unless you're an insomniac, one-third of every day is spent in it. It should be calmingly pretty. Maybe even pretty outrageously cool, pulling you onto it, like a magic carpet ride into your dreams. At least, that's what the following beds do for their owners.

Space Tourist Dennis Tito On Using Bathroom In Space: 'I Hadn't Had Toilet Training In 60 Years'

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

NEW YORK – As microgravity makes even the most mundane tasks tricky, going to the bathroom in space can be a chore. How astronauts take care of that basic human necessity while in orbit has been a point of perennial fascination for the Earth-bound public.

For a moment during a Sept. 4 talk here at the Explorers Club, two of the world's first space tourists who paid their way to the International Space Station traded stories about their space toilet training, or actually the lack of training.

The Explorers Club was holding an event with former NASA astronaut Owen Garriott and his son, gaming legend Richard Garriott, perhaps best known for creating the Ultima role-playing series. They are the only American father-son team to have both gone to space. [Photos: Space Tourist Richard Garriott, an Astronaut Legacy]

While Owen Garriott flew with NASA aboard U.S. space station Skylab and the space shuttle Columbia, his son became a spaceflyer in his own right in 2008 after using his gaming fortune to buy a multimillion-dollar ticket to the space station aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule.

Adventurer and journalist Jim Clash interviewed the duo in front of a small audience and afterwards gave the night's first question to another private spaceflyer in the room: American businessman Dennis Tito.

A longtime space enthusiast, Tito made his millions in the world of finance, but was once an engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Widely considered the first space tourist, Tito paid the Russians a reported $20 million for his 2001 flight to the space station.

The younger Garriott earlier in the night said he used to look at Tito and think, "That's the guy that got my seat!" Garriott's long-held aspirations to go to space — first dashed when he learned his eyesight was below NASA standards — had to be postponed for a few years after his wealth took a hit in the dot-com crash.

Tito stood up to ask his question and paused before saying, "One experience that people always ask me about is, 'How do you go to the bathroom in space?'"

As the audience laughed, Owen Garriott jumped in to add: "Elementary school children, usually."

But Tito continued, saying that despite his eight months of training with the Russians, he wasn't all that prepared to go the bathroom in space.

"I guess the Russians really don't like to talk about these things — they have funny attitudes," Tito said. "So I got on board the station and the first thing that happened was Jim Voss, an American astronaut, gave me toilet trailing."

"Now, I hadn't had toilet training in 60 years," Tito added. "So I was wondering, did you get toilet training on the ground?"

Richard Garriott, who trained with the Russians, too, corroborated Tito's story.

"It is hilarious because every other system — everything except the toilet — you use the exact hardware you will use in space on the ground," Garriott said.

Garriott said he had a cheat sheet for which switches to turn on for when he needed to use the space commode, the toilet does not work the same way as it does on the ground.

"Gravity's actually really important for how to separate yourself from your waste and there's no discussion of that," Garriott said.

Richard Garriott as seen in "Man on a Mission," a film by Mike Woolf.

His father chimed in to give a perspective from the U.S. side, and discussed his training with NASA ahead of his 60-day stint in space during the Skylab 3 mission in 1973.

"We did receive proper training," the elder Garriott said. "For urination it's a very simple thing ... Urination is not a problem. Defecation is what you're concerned about."

Garriott said the Skylab astronauts used a simulator toilet mounted over a camera so that they could check their positioning on the ground before using the commode in space. All three Skylab crews out also brought home all of their waste to be examined by scientists, Garriott added, remarking that they never had a single toilet failure while in flight.

"One thing NASA did right," he quipped.
