Sorry Coop, T.O.'s already ruining your team

Buffalo Bills starting cornerback Terrence McGee hurt his right arm when he tumbled to the turf while defending receiver Terrell Owens during a voluntary minicamp practice on Wednesday.

McGee was hurt about 30 minutes into the 90-minute session and did not return after entering the trainer's room. A team source told ESPN.com's Tim Graham the injury is minor.

During team drills, McGee was shadowing Owens up the sideline when the two went up for a pass. Owens initially caught the ball but had it ripped out by McGee. The two then fell to the ground with Owens partially landing on the cornerback.

Avoid breaking the law to find out if your wife's new man has broken the law

A crumbling marriage ultimately cost a Goodyear police veteran his badge.

Richard Beck has relinquished his badge in the wake of accusations that he illegally accessed law-enforcement databases to look up information about a man he believed was having an affair with his estranged wife, and later lied about it.

The agreement reached between Beck, 35, and the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board last week permanently strips him of his ability to work as a police officer in Arizona.

If you're going to write a book... try not to write explicit things about your students

A British teacher reportedly has been fired for publishing a novel describing sexual encounters with some of her students.

The fictional work "Stop! Don't Read This" focuses on five of Leonora Rustamova's "favorite" students at Calder High School and addresses the 39-year-old's growing struggle to view her students as "kids." She also writes about her tendency to flirt with students and allow them to flirt with and fantasize about her, according to the Daily Telegraph.

In addition, the expletive-filled book featured stories of students drinking, skipping school and possibly using drugs. It also named other faculty members, including the school's headmaster Stephen Ball, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Nerdiness paid off!

(AP) - A Wisconsin man's collection of about 110 comics from the "Golden Age" -- the late 1930s through the 1940s -- has sold at auction for about $623,000.

Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries said Tuesday the comics were sold in an auction that ended over the weekend.

Ralph Chicorel's comics had remained in pristine condition over the years. Chicorel, who lives in Menomonee Falls, said that as a kid he treasured his comics so much that he even carefully turned the pages.

Heritage says one comic in the collection, "Marvel Mystery Comics" No. 9, noted for its cover battle between the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner, sold for about $108,000.

One-handed basketball phenom comes to Manhattan

Woman craps for 4 and a half hours

Saturday was a record-setting night for a novice craps player at an Atlantic City casino.

Patricia Demauro set a new record for the longest craps roll, hanging on for four hours and 18 minutes at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.

Borgata officials say she beat the previous record by one hour and 12 minutes. They say Stanley Fujitake of Honolulu, set that record nearly 20 years ago in Las Vegas.

"This was only my second time playing craps, so this was very exciting for me to be a part of history," says Demauro, who lives in Denville in northern New Jersey.

Demauro bought into a game for $100 and quickly amassed a cheering crowd. When she finally lost around 12:31 a.m., after 154 rolls of the dice, she was greeted by Borgata with a champagne toast.

A history of beer cans

Beer has come a long way since breweries first had the idea of developing can packaging nearly 100 years ago. In the early 1900s, breweries had a problem producing a can that would withstand the pasteurization process and allow the beer to still taste good when it reached the consumer. In order to withstand the heat and pressure of the process, the first beer cans were constructed of tin and steel and were much more thick and sturdy than the ones we see today. By 1935, the first commercially produced beer in a can hit the market.

Crazy Australian Studies Love Pregnant Teens

Disadvantaged teen girls are more likely to turn their lives around if they have a baby, an expert says.

Professor Julie Quinlivan told a conference in Hobart yesterday studies had shown disadvantaged teens who fell pregnant often had better life outcomes than those who did not. Teen mothers were more likely to quit smoking, go back to school and get a job.

She said the girls also saved the economy money because a pregnancy forced them to engage with services and develop a focused plan for a better future.

Well, they tax everything else already

The Senate Finance Committee today is hearing proposals on how to pay for President Obama's proposed universal health care plan, which is expected to cost more than $1 trillion. Among the proposals, as Consumer Affairs reports: A three-cent tax on sodas as well as other sugary drinks, including energy and sports drinks like Gatorade. Diet sodas would be exempt.

"While many factors promote weight gain, soft drinks are the only food or beverage that has been shown to increase the risk of overweight and obesity, which, in turn, increase the risk of diabetes, stroke, and many other health problems," Michael Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which is pushing the idea, said in his testimony. "Soft drinks are nutritionally worthless…[and] are directly related to weight gain, partly because beverages are more conducive to weight gain than solid foods."

Bartenders can actually SERVE their customers in Utah now

Utah bartenders may serve alcoholic drinks to patrons directly over bar counters instead of having to walk around them under a new law that took effect Tuesday.

Partitions known as "Zion curtains" -- usually made of glass -- that separate bartenders from customers began coming down early Tuesday. The name is a reference to the state's religious heritage as the home of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which tells its members to abstain from alcohol.

"It's just kind of pointless to have clear glass in front of us. It really takes away from the personal experience of our customers," said Abbie Daggs, a manager at Stella Grill in suburban Salt Lake City. "A lot of people are surprised when they see it and ask about the Zion curtain, and we have to explain why it's there. They're always shocked."

Your relationship probably seems like Ozzie and Harriet compared to these two

A BOGUS bride who spent three years living with her hubby has confessed to a court that she’s really a MAN.

Trusting husband Fu Shitou married transvestite Wei Jinhua after she struck up a friendship with his sister-in-law.

The truth only emerged when Wei, from Zhechuan, eastern China, was picked up and strip-searched by cops when she fled the family home after a row.

Fu told police: “I can’t believe I didn’t know. But we never had sex - I just wanted someone to take care of me.”

Wei, 44, was allowed to walk free after judges ruled that police should give her a short back and sides man’s haircut.

This woman was SIXTY when WORLD WAR II broke out

A woman thought to be the world's oldest person at 130 has died after slipping on the bathroom floor of her new flat.
Sakhan Dosova broke her hip in a fall last month and never recovered.

She had been given the flat by officials in Kazakhstan who were embarrassed she was living in overcrowded conditions with her impoverished family.

Her age came to light after a census in the city of Karaganda. Demographers also found she was on Stalin's first census of the region in 1926, with her age given as 47.

TV Stations FEAR Hulu

Online video site Hulu trumpeted its ascension to the media big time a few months back with a dash of sardonic humor. In its debut TV commercial, in which Alec Baldwin mocks the audience's addiction to the very shows he creates as a fictional network executive, the site calls itself "an evil plot to destroy the world."

The joke is uneasily close to the truth for some in the television business.

Once dismissed as "Clown Co." by Silicon Valley critics who scoffed that old media giants could ever harness the Internet, the website with a name that sounds like a Hawaiian dance has quickly upset the status quo. Hulu's traction with users has entrenched entertainment companies worried that the video site's runaway success could undercut the financial underpinnings of the industry.

Gored by the Red Bull

A boy of 11 hanged himself after energy drinks changed his behaviour, his father said last night.

Lee Johns said Tyler was a happy-go-lucky child until he started downing the drinks to make himself feel grown up.

From thriving at school and impressing neighbours with his good behaviour, he became 'hyper and disruptive' in the months leading to his death last year.

A one-litre caffeine drink was lying near Tyler's body when his mother found him hanging in his bedroom.

His father said shops should be banned from selling the products to children.

What would you do if $400,000 landed in your yard?

An asteroid that streaked across the skies over Canada's prairies last fall dropped a record number of fragments, including a bowling-ball sized chunk worth $400,000 that a selfless farmer has donated - for free - to the University of Calgary.

"These meteorites are like lumps of gold with the same kind of value," said Dr. Alan Hildebrand, a planetary scientist with the University of Calgary.

"Many people have come here to collect meteorites to sell them."

The valuable bowling-ball sized piece, weighing 13 kilograms, was donated to the university by farmer Alex Mitchell.

Tasering kids with 50,000 volts. Fantastic.

A Florida corrections officer has been fired after zapping children with 50,000 volts of electricity during a "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" tour.

Department of Corrections Secretary Walt McNeil has ordered an investigation of the April 24 incident at the Franklin Correctional Institution.

Sgt. Walter Schmidt says the parents gave him permission to shock the children with a handheld stun device. Such devices are typically used to subdue unruly or uncooperative inmates and must be in direct contact with the person to deliver the shock.

Schmidt was fired. Warden Duffie Harrison said Schmidt zapped "at least two kids."

The children's names and ages were not released.
