Miller, Manning fire as Broncos D stifle Panthers in Super Bowl
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP): A reborn Orange Crush might have sent Peyton Manning into retirement with a Super ending to his career. Von Miller and the impenetrable Denver defence harassed Panthers quarterback Cam Newton all game Sunday and the Broncos made enough big plays for a 24-10 victory, Manning’s 200th and perhaps his last before retirement. He wasn’t the star of Super Bowl 50 – game MVP Miller seemingly was everywhere on every Carolina play – but Manning really hasn’t been the headliner in this injury-shortened season. “This game was much like this season has been, testing our toughness, our resiliency, our unselfishness,” he said. “It’s only fitting that it turned out that way.” Emulating his Broncos boss, John Elway, the 39-year-old Manning can ride off with the Lombardi Trophy after leading Denver to their third NFL title, first since 1999 – when Elway was the quarterback. “I’ll take some time to reflect,” Manning said when asked if this is the end. “I got a couple of priorities first. I’m going to go kiss my wife and my kids. … I’m going to drink a lot of Budweiser tonight.” Denver’s suffocating defence kept Newton jittery all day. Despite wearing gold shoes before the golden Super Bowl, Newton couldn’t finish off a dynamic season in which he was the league’s MVP. Miller twice stripped him, once for a touchdown, the second time setting up a clinching TD. Denver’s top-ranked defence, the one that ran roughshod over Tom Brady in the AFC championship, simply wouldn’t let Newton get comfortable. “There was a certain point where it was like guys on the sideline were saying, ‘Cam is very stressed,'” Broncos cornerback Bradley Roby said. “For two weeks straight, that’s all we heard was Cam this, Cam that, dab this, dab that. They were dabbing in their team photos. It was very disrespectful. We wanted to come out and prove that we’re the best.” Newton was sacked six times – receiver Ted Ginn Jr went down once on an aborted trick play – and if Miller wasn’t torturing him, DeMarcus Ware was. Ware had two of the seven sacks, equalling the most by one team in the Super Bowl. Carolina led the league with 500 points, but were held to their fewest of the year and Denver set an ignominious mark with 194 yards gained, the fewest for a Super Bowl winner. So what, The Broncos (15-4) are champions and Manning is the first quarterback to win Super Bowls with two franchises; Indianapolis in 2007 was the other. Gary Kubiak is the first to win a Super Bowl as player and coach for the same team. Manning finished 13 for 23 for 141 yards against a strong Carolina (17-2) defence that just couldn’t match Miller and company. “I feel very, very grateful,” Manning said. … “Obviously, it’s very special to cap it off with a Super Bowl championship.”

The soccer world last Sunday, January 5, 2014 lost one of its greats, Eusibio da Silva Ferreira in Lisbon. Originally from Mozambique he played for Portugal because his country was under colonial rule at the time.He was 71, and would have been 72 on Jan. 25, 2014.He featured for Benfica, and played for the Portugal national football team.He was adoringly called Black Panther by soccer fans because of his passion and the ability to make things happen on the field. It was also due to the respect that he earned as a black man, just as many Europeans described African players as Pele after the Brazilian legendary marksman who played at the time Eusibio was part of the Portuguese team.Eusibio was a maestro in the midfield and during the World Cup in 1966, the Portuguese team revolved around him.At age 24, Eusibio played marvelously and endeared himself to both Portuguese and Mozambique fans. He was signed on by Benfica, which rumors indicated he had been kidnapped. The rumor died down after the team signed him on.In the 1966 World Cup he led Portugal to the third place. In a match against North Korea, after Portugal had eliminated Brazil, the Portuguese were down by 3-0 in the first 25 minutes. It was the magic of Eusibio that changed the Portuguese’s misfortune when he scored four goals to win 5-4.“That was the best game of my life in a Portugal jersey,” Eusebio reportedly said. “It left its mark on me.”In a recent panel of 100 experts under FIFA’s authority, Eusibio was ranked as one of soccer’s 10 greats.Eusibio was awarded the Ballon d’Or in 1965 and won the Golden Boot—in 1968 and 1973. At his prime he was 5 feet 9 inches, and weighed about 160 pounds, research has indicated.He was born on Jan. 25, 1942, to an Angolan father. When his death was announced the Portuguese government announced three days of national mourning to show its appreciation to his contribution to Portuguese football development.He scored 679 goals in 678 official games, according to FIFA, the world’s football governing body. He helped Benfica to win 11 league titles and five Portuguese Cups and Portugal made him a national asset by then Portugal leader Antonio Salazar, which made it impossible for him to leave Portugal. He remained an ambassador of Benfica, which placed a bronze statue of him outside the Stadium of Light, where fans gathered Sunday night.Eusebio’s legacy, according to New York Times report, “can be easily seen in the documentary, ‘Goal! The World Cup of 1967;’ in the third match of the first round, a Portuguese player steamrollered the sport’s greatest star, Pelé, already playing with an injury. Eusebio stood by Pelé as the medics attended to him. The rumor was that Eusebio chastised his teammate, but he said, no, he stood by Pelé because, “He is my friend.”Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

The initial goal was to have them installed by the spring of 2017. They are hoping to have them installed and services available by early 2017. There will be renovation costs, even at the new hospital. Where the MRI machine is going, is currently a meeting room, so they will have to do some changes. They did have the option between a moveable unit and a permanent unit, which they ultimately decided to go with the permanent units.MRI imaging is also safer, using less radiation then a CT scan, according to De Smit. MRI also provides a better image to surgeons and doctors.The Ministry of Health is committing $3.3 million, and the regional hospitals are also committing to $3.3 million. The Regional Foundation Campaign, which is not the FSJ Hospital Foundation, will commit to $1.6 million. That is the cost for all 3 machines.Northern Health does around 5,500 scans a year. The new machines will also cut down on people having to go to Prince George and Alberta.Advertisement FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. – With patients usually having to go elsewhere to get an MRI, like Prince George, they won’t have to do that anymore with the announcement of a MRI machine coming to the Fort St. John Hospital.UHNBC will also be getting a new machine, while Mills Memorial Hospital in Terrace is getting a machine too.The process to get the MRI machines started back in 2012 when Northern Health hired a consultant to explore the options for MRI services in Northern BC says Angela De Smit, North East Chief Operating Officer.- Advertisement -Then in 2013, the consultant said that the replacement of the MRI machine at UHNBC was necessary, as well as establishing a mobile unit.In 2014, they started to look at partnerships with foundations, ministry of health and began a 10-year medical imaging strategy that would help identify care closer to home.The reason for the placement for the MRI machine that Fort St. John will be receiving was because the new hospital had set aside space that could be used for future placement of an MRI unit.Advertisement
ST. GEORGE, Utah – Defense attorneys for a polygamous-sect leader charged with sex crimes in the arranged marriage of a 14-year-old girl and her older cousin began their case Tuesday, trying to debunk the contention that his church places women in submissive roles. Warren Jeffs, 51, president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is accused of using his influence to push the girl into a marriage with her 19-year-old cousin in 2001 and forcing her to have unwanted sex. He is charged with two counts of rape as an accomplice. The prosecution ended its presentation, and then Jeffs’ lawyers called nine church members as witnesses, arguing against the idea that men and church leaders have more power than women. Testimony from the young bride, now 21, and her two sisters, as well as sermons from Jeffs played for the jury, have suggested that women are without a voice in FLDS marriages and that they must submit to their husbands “mind, body and soul.” Defense witness and church member Jennie Pipkin, 26, told jurors her experience was different. She testified she twice sought Jeffs’ counsel in 2005 after unwanted sexual advances from her husband. She said she became “empowered” to ask Jeffs for help after reading one of his sermons that directs men to engage only in sexual relations that are invited by their wives. “He asked us, `Are you coming together physically?’ And it was pretty obvious that we weren’t,” said Joanna Keate, 25, who delayed sex for nearly two years. “And he said, `That will come in its own time.”‘ During cross-examination, prosecutors noted that none of the defense witnesses were young teens placed in marriages over their objections or with a close relative. Before resting their case, prosecutors played a 30-minute sermon for jurors in which Jeffs and fellow church member Sam Barlow addressed ceremonial marriages involving minors. On the 2002 tape, Jeffs said the sect’s principles were under attack by Utah and Arizona authorities. Barlow, a former marshal in Colorado City, Ariz., a small community on the Utah-Arizona state line dominated by members of the sect, talked on the tape about pressure from authorities. “We are born to this conflict,” Barlow said. “We cannot shirk it or turn away from it for a moment.” The young bride in the case left her marriage and the FLDS church in 2004 after becoming pregnant with another man’s child. The Associated Press generally does not identify people alleging sexual abuse. Jeffs has been president of the church since 2002. Followers see him as a prophet who communicates with God and holds dominion over their salvation. Ex-church members say he reigns with an iron fist, demanding perfect obedience from followers. If convicted of the charges, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

The invitation for sexual relations is supposed to be mine,” said Pipkin, who runs her own Internet marketing business and has five children. Another witness, Keneth “Ben” Thomas, said force is not taught in FLDS culture. He said that men hold authority but that they are taught to lead with the best interests of the family. “I have no right to force my wife to do anything,” said Thomas, 34. The six women and three men testified they did not know their spouses before their weddings. The women said they asked Warren Jeffs’ father, Rulon Jeffs, who preceded him as “prophet,” to find suitable mates. None were younger than 17 when they were married. At least one woman married a polygamist. Some waited weeks, even years, before having sex – and all said they sought counseling from Jeffs. 
1 Real Madrid forward Jese Rodriguez Arsenal and Chelsea have been put on red alert after the agent of Jese warned Real Madrid to start playing his client more.The winger is highly regarded by the Spanish club but at present he is struggling to break into the first-team.Both Arsenal and Chelsea are long-term admirers of the Spaniard, who has made just three appearances this season.And the 22-year-old’s agent, Gines Carvajal, has now sparked interest from the Premier League pair by insisting his client needs more action at the Bernabeu.“He needs to play more, that’s the best way to keep his spirits up,” Carvajal told Marca.“The club will have to make a decision. He’s training well, he’s strong and has to seize the opportunity when it comes.”
PALM DESERT — Annika Sorenstam must be wondering what she has to do to get noticed. All she did at the Samsung World Championship was remind anyone watching why she rules her world. Despite a double bogey on the last hole, she won by eight shots. And her eighth victory of the season –no one else has won more than twice — ensured Sorenstam will be the LPGA Tour player of the year for a record eighth time. With the crystal trophy at her side, Sorenstam dropped subtle hints Sunday evening that winning the Samsung World Championship was important “for many reasons,” not the least of which was upstaging Wie. The 35-year-old Swede is comfortable with who she is and what she has done. But every superstar has an ego, and Sorenstam is no different. “I’m very competitive,” she said. “I want to play well when everyone is talking about someone else.” Sorenstam is used to hearing her name mentioned when people talk about golf stardom, especially during her incomparable success over the last five years — seven majors, 41 victories, nearly $12 million in earnings. And perhaps the most impressive statistic of all is finishing in the top three 63 percent of the time. It’s not always about her, of course. “Tiger is the only one I can think of,” Sorenstam said when asked the last time she wasn’t part of the conversation. “Maybe because this is the LPGA, it seems like it’s been more about Michelle than Tiger.” Wie brings notoriety, no matter what she does or where she goes. People want to watch her. The crowds at Bighorn typically are sparse because of the searing desert heat and a hilly course designed for golf carts, yet Wie had the largest galleries throughout the week. Even though she already had played 24 times on the LPGA Tour since she was 12, her professional debut was accompanied by the kind of hype Woods got when he turned pro. She was on the cover of Fortune magazine. More than 225 media credentials were issued, so many that tournament officials had to expand the press tent. The room was packed whenever she was in there, especially late Sunday evening when she pulled off her most impressive feat at Bighorn — standing firm about her drop while showing respect for the rule that got her disqualified. Wie had to forfeit her fourth-place finish and first tournament paycheck of $53,126, although the money doesn’t mean anything. She already has contract endorsements worth $8 million to $10 million, and it’s not like Wie needs the LPGA earnings to get her card. She doesn’t plan to join the LPGA Tour for two more years. What she gained from her loss was even more exposure. And that pushed Sorenstam further into the background of a sport that, for the moment, is all about Wie. About the only people who truly appreciate Sorenstam are her peers. “When Annika comes to play, Annika comes to win,” Lorie Kane said after she finished her round Sunday, the scoreboard behind her on the 18th showing Sorenstam up by 10 shots early on the back nine. “It doesn’t matter who else is playing. When she tees it up, she means business. That’s why she is one step ahead of all of us.” Sorenstam insisted there was no message sent at Samsung, although 19-year-old Paula Creamer thought otherwise. Creamer already has taken some of the Swede’s spotlight because of her moxie, her good looks, her stellar play at the Solheim Cup and the American flag next to her name. She was a footnote at Bighorn, eight shots behind in second place. “Annika was just probably sending a statement to the world saying, ‘I’m still here. I’m still the best player,”‘ Creamer said. Sorenstam says she is motivated when the sun rises, that no one pushes her harder than herself. Even so, she has noticed the strongest youth movement on the LPGA Tour in 25 years, and it has her attention. “I know the young ones are going to take over eventually, there is no doubt about it,” Sorenstam said. “I love the position I’m in, and I’m not going to let it go too easily.” It might keep her on the LPGA Tour long enough to break Kathy Whitworth’s record of 88 career victories. Sorenstam is at No. 64, and at this rate could break the record in three years. Whether anyone would notice remains to be seen. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREWalnut’s Malik Khouzam voted Southern California Boys Athlete of the Week The buzz at Bighorn was — and still is — about Michelle Wie. Sorenstam walked quietly into the desert night with her 64th career victory. Wie was surrounded by her parents, sponsors, family friends, security and tournament officials who ushered her past a dozen photographers into a golf cart after getting disqualified for taking a bad drop. Sorenstam can understand getting ignored because of Tiger Woods, simply because people pay more attention to the PGA Tour and Woods has become the most famous athlete in the world. The star power in women’s golf now belongs to a teenager whose legend is built around power, potential and big dreams, with a marketing appeal that required a signature on two endorsement contracts to become the highest-paid woman in golf. 
But she will have to settle for the hardware, not the hype. Because even after one of her most dominant victories of the year, Sorenstam was a forgotten figure before the champagne was chilled.
