When should people seek medical care for a UTI?
Any adult or child who develops any of the symptoms of a urinary tract infection needs to be evaluated by a medical professional, preferably within 24 hours. Most medical offices can test urine for infection by using a quick urine "dipstick" test.
- Someone who has symptoms of a lower urinary tract infection should call a health-care professional for an appointment, preferably on the very day that symptoms are recognized.
- Someone who has symptoms of an upper urinary tract infection involving the kidneys should call a health-care professional immediately. Depending on the situation, he or she will recommend either a visit to the office or to a hospital emergency department.
If someone has symptoms of a lower urinary tract infection and any of the following applies, he or she may have a urinary tract infection that can potentially be serious. Go to a hospital emergency department right away.
- Vomiting and inability to keep down clear fluids or medication
- Not better after taking antibiotics for two days
- Pregnant
- Having diabetes or another disease that affects the immune system
- Taking medication that suppresses the immune system such as cancer chemotherapy
Infants, children, and elderly people with any of the signs and symptoms of UTI should see their health-care professional as soon as possible or go to an emergency department for evaluation.
- Fever, lethargy, and poor appetite may indicate a urinary tract infection in these groups, but they may also be signs of something more serious.
- Urinary tract infections have the potential to make these vulnerable people very ill when the bacteria spread into the bloodstream.
How do physicians diagnose a urinary tract infection?
Diagnosis of a urinary tract infection is based on information someone gives about his or her symptoms, medical and surgical history, medications, habits, and lifestyle. A physical examination and lab tests complete the evaluation.
A doctor may simply perform a urine dipstick test in the office. Only a few minutes are needed to obtain results. A doctor may also send a urine sample to the lab for culture testing (see below). These results take a few days to come back. This tells the doctor the exact bacteria causing the infection and to which antibiotics these bacteria have resistance or sensitivity. The culture is usually sent for special populations, including men, because they are less likely to get UTIs. It is not necessary to send a culture for everyone because the majority of UTIs are caused by the same bacteria.
- The single most important lab test is urinalysis. A urine sample will be tested for signs of infection, such as the presence of white blood cells and bacteria.
- In certain circumstances, urine also may be "cultured." This means that a small amount of the urine is brushed on a sterile nutrient substance in a plastic plate. The plate is allowed to sit for a few days and then examined to see what kind of bacteria are growing on it. These bacteria are treated with different antibiotics to see which works best against them. This helps determine the best treatment for the specific infection.
- Blood tests usually are not required unless a complicated condition, such as pyelonephritis or kidney failure, is suspected.
For a culture specimen, the patient will be asked to give a clean-catch, midstream urine specimen. This avoids contamination of the urine with bacteria from the skin. Patients will be instructed in how to do this.
- Midstream means urinating a little into the toilet before collecting a specimen. The idea is to avoid collecting the urine that comes out first, as this urine is often contaminated.
- Clean-catch refers to a midstream sample that was collected after cleaning the area of the urethral opening.
- Adult women and older girls: Cleanse the area around the urethral opening gently (but completely) using a sterile wipe or soap and water. Catch the urine midstream. For some women, catheterization (inserting a tube into the bladder) may be the only way to obtain a sterile, uncontaminated specimen.
- Men and boys: A sterile specimen can usually be obtained with a midstream catch. Uncircumcised males should retract the foreskin and cleanse the area before urinating.
- Newborns: Urine may be obtained with a catheter or a procedure in which a needle is introduced through the lower abdominal wall to draw (aspirate) urine from the bladder.
- Infants and children: Either catheterization or the needle aspiration method is used.
If someone cannot produce a urine specimen or is unable to follow instructions for a clean-catch specimen, a health-care professional may obtain a urine specimen by catheterization.
- This means placing a thin tube (catheter) in the urethra to drain urine from the bladder.
- The catheter usually is removed after the bladder is emptied.
- The catheter may remain in place if someone is very ill or if it is necessary to collect all urine or measure urine output.
Depending on their symptoms, sexually active women could require a pelvic examination because pelvic infections can have similar symptoms as a urinary tract infection. Males will require a genital examination, and depending on the symptoms, most likely a prostate examination. A prostate infection (prostatitis) requires a longer course of antibiotics than a urinary tract infection.
Men will most likely require a rectal examination so that the prostate can be checked. A prostate infection (prostatitis) requires a longer course of antibiotics than a urinary tract infection.
In some cases, an imaging test may be indicated to detect any underlying problem in the urinary tract that could cause an infection. This is usually only necessary in repeat infections or special circumstances (unusual bacteria, suspected anatomic abnormalities).
- An ultrasound examination can evaluate kidney and bladder problems.
- A fluoroscopic study can show any physical problems that predispose children to urinary tract infections.
- Intravenous pyelogram (IVP) is a special series of X-rays that uses a contrast dye to highlight abnormalities in the urinary tract.
- Cystoscopy involves insertion of a thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera on the end through the urethra into the bladder. This allows detection of abnormalities inside the bladder that might contribute to infections.
- A CT scan gives a very detailed three-dimensional picture of the urinary tract.
Imaging tests are most often needed for the following groups:
- Children with urinary tract infections, especially boys
- Up to 50% of infants and 30% of older children with a urinary tract infection have an anatomic abnormality. The child's pediatrician should investigate this possibility.
- Adults with frequent or recurrent urinary tract infections
- People who have blood in the urine

Approved July 22, 2013
The intent of these motor vehicle, parking and transportation rules of Cleveland State University (CSU) is to facilitate the work of the students, faculty, staff and campus visitors at CSU. Changes to these rules will be recommended by the Assistant Vice President for Campus Support Services in collaboration with the University Parking Advisory Committee for approval by the University President.
If any motor vehicle found on University property is in violation of traffic laws or rules of the State of Ohio or of the University, the citation will be issued to the member of the University community to whom the car is registered in Parking & Transportation Services. If the vehicle is not registered with the University, the citation will be issued to the legally registered owner of the vehicle according to the state of Ohio or its equivalent.
- Parking Registration, Rates and Privileges
CSU students, faculty, and staff must register with the Department of Parking & Transportation Services in order to park in any University operated parking location.
Registered patrons may obtain a Pre Paid Parking Credential, which is defined as a token (e.g. hangtag, access card, device etc.) for which the holder has registered and paid the entire cost in advance or has made arrangements for payroll deduction with Parking Services for access to parking lots prior to coming to a CSU parking facility to park.
Parking credentials are the property of Cleveland State University..
Registration and possession of a valid parking credential authorizes an individual to park in parking facilities owned and/or operated by the University for which the parking tag permits them access. It does not guarantee the holder a specific parking space unless the credential authorizes use of a reserved parking space.
A current parking credential must be displayed when entering a parking facility and while the vehicle is parked. Parking rates will be posted in the Parking & Transportation Services office and on the department's website.
Pre Paid parking tag holders are granted the following privileges, based upon availability: access to designated parking facilities during regular hours; weekend parking in designated areas; entry into special event parking locations to which the credential allows access without the payment of any additional fee; and access to privately operated parking locations as applicable.
Visitors to CSU may purchase parking for the published visitor rate in visitor lots and/or for the posted and/or prearranged Special Event rate at designated locations.
- Enforcement Authorization
The Department of Parking Services and its employees are authorized to enforce University Parking Rules by serving notice of the violation on the person or on the vehicle found to be in violation.
Any notices of violation served will stipulate as to the violation committed, location and time of the violation, and the rights of the person accused of the violation.
- Parking for the Disabled
Disabled parking spaces are provided in all garages on campus and in all surface lots that are located contiguous to a University building. Faculty, staff and students who are holders of State of Ohio disabled placards and a prepaid CSU parking credential may park in CSU designated parking spots within an area for the specific type of parking credential they hold or at designated metered spaces. Both the State disabled placard and the CSU parking credential must be displayed while parked on campus. Visitors who require disabled parking may park in designated spaces in metered parking areas or visitor lots
- Paid Special Event and Guest Parking
Any group arranging an event on campus must contact Parking & Transportation Services in order to make prior arrangements for Special Events Parking. Special event parking is recommended for occasions when visitor parking locations are inadequate, or guaranteed or prepaid parking is desired. In general, events that will bring 20 or more visitors to campus should request reserved prepaid parking or make arrangements for guests to pay for parking on site.
Special Event Parking. Event planners are encouraged to consider the academic calendar and class schedule when planning events.
Special Event Parking is defined as parking services which result from or coincide with a major campus event or any event for which Parking Services must take extra measures in order to monitor and control campus parking. Parking may be designated "special event parking" at any time – weekdays, evenings and weekends included.
Individuals or University departments who wish to pay for visitors and guests to park on campus must contact Parking & Transportation Services to make arrangements. Visitors and guests who do not have prepaid parking will be directed to the parking locations that accept payment by the hour.

PIERRE, S.D. – The total economic impact of South Dakota's visitor industry increased last year by 2.8 percent* from 2012, translating to an overall economic impact of nearly $2 billion. The 2013 figures are from a new report by IHS Global Insight.
In addition, a 2012 study conducted by Longwoods International showed that, for every dollar spent on marketing by the state Department of Tourism, South Dakota receives $5 in tax revenues.
"South Dakota's visitor industry continues to show its strength, despite facing numerous challenges," Gov. Dennis Daugaard said. "In 2013, South Dakota faced a spring blizzard and ice storm, federal sequestration, an early fall blizzard and the federal government shutdown. And yet, the visitor industry persevered with another record-setting year."
2013 Economic Impact Statistics:
- 2.8 percent – The increase in the economic impact of tourism on South Dakota's economy last year.
- $1.98 billion – Tourism's direct impact on South Dakota's economy in 2013.
- 1:5 – The ratio between dollars spent on tourism marketing and tax revenue received. For every dollar Tourism spends marketing the state as a vacation destination, South Dakota receives $5 in tax revenue.
- 19.41 percent – The amount of state and local tax revenue generated by tourism-related activity in 2013. This totaled $295 million.
- 27,958 – The number of jobs directly generated by the tourism industry in 2013. That's 1-out-of-11South Dakota jobs that depend on travel and tourism.
- $892 – The amount of additional taxes each household in the state would pay if South Dakota's tourism industry did not exist.
- 8.6 percent - Percentage of visitor spending that came from international visitors.
2013 Year-Over-Year Comparisons:
· Taxable sales were up 4.5 percent
· Inquiries to the SD Dept. of Tourism were up 8.4 percent
· Unique visitors to the consumer website, www.TravelSD.com, were up 3 percent
· Visitation was up 3.1 percent
· Hotel occupancy was down 1.7 percent
· Information Center stats
- o Total cars were up 8 percent
- o Total tour buses were up 9 percent
- o Tour buses carrying foreign visitors were up 38.2 percent
The South Dakota Department of Tourism is comprised of Tourism, the South Dakota Arts Council and the South Dakota State Historical Society. The Department is led by Secretary James D. Hagen.
*This includes actual numbers from January-October 2013 and forecasted numbers for November and December 2013.
· Tourism's impact, as defined by IHS Global Insight, includes only those dollars that are retained in South Dakota. It includes core tourism (visitor spending), non-core tourism (spending by tourism industry suppliers), government spending (Tourism's marketing dollars), private investment in infrastructure and resident outbound expenditures.

There's been an alarming rise in the number of children under 5 overdosing on liquid cough and cold medicine. But now there's a new proposal to keep kids safe.
It's an urgent issue with flu cases up 35% last week alone, and parents turning to liquid cold, cough and flu medications to make their children feel better at the height of the season. But these medicinal syrups are also responsible for 10,000 overdoses each year, according to pediatricians and consumer safety experts it's a rise of 32% over the last decade.
Medical experts and a consumer advocate from Pro Publica joined Sen. Charles Schumer in calling for flow restrictor caps on children' s liquid medications, so that the contents can't be emptied all at once.
They say 20 children a year die from overdoses, and one death is one too many.
The plastic flow restrictor tops would add less than 10 cents to the price of each bottle.
This new safety device could be on store shelves within a year if federal consumer officials mandate it.
If they don't, Sen. Schumer says he won't hesitate to push for legislation.

A judge ruled today that Pennsylvania's tough new Voter ID Law should be put on hold until after the Nov. 6 general election, according to a n Associated Press report.
The ruling can be appealed to the state Supreme Court, which said it would expedite any further action in the case since Election Day is just five weeks away.
Do you agree with the ruling? Tell us in the comments section below.
Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson heard two days of testimony last week, as directed by the Supreme Court, to determine whether the state has made it easy enough to get a photo ID in order to vote.
Opponents say the law, and the process to get an ID, disenfranchises voters. Supporters say the law will prevent voter fraud - but that justification sparked controversy when GOP state Rep. Mike Turzai said the law will allow Gov. Mitt Romney to win Pennsylvania.
Some political analysts called the voter fraud prevention argument "a sham."
Simpson based his decision on guidelines given to him days ago by the high court justices. He ordered the state not to enforce the photo ID requirement in this year's presidential election but will allow it to go into full effect next year.
One lawyer for the plaintiffs said it appeared to be a "win." Election workers will still be allowed to ask voters for a valid photo ID, but people without it can vote on a regular voting machine in the polling place and would not have to cast a provisional ballot or prove their identity to election officials after the election, according to this Huffington Post report.
A wave of new voter identification requirements has been approved in the past couple years, primarily by Republican-controlled Legislatures.
- The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Indiana's voter ID law in 2008
- Georgia's top court upheld that state's voter ID law
- A federal court panel struck down Texas' voter ID law
- The state court in Wisconsin has blocked its voter ID laws for now.
- The Justice Department cleared New Hampshire's voter ID law earlier this year
- A federal court is reviewing South Carolina's law
In Pennsylvania, the plaintiffs – a group of registered voters including a 90-year-old Doylestown woman, plus the Homeless Advocacy Project, the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania and the Pennsylvania chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) – sought to block the law from taking effect in this year's election as part of a wider challenge to its constitutionality.
The constitutionality of the law was not a question before Simpson.
Rather, the state Supreme Court ordered Simpson to stop the law if he thought anyone eligible would be unable to cast a ballot because of it or if he found the state had not complied with law's promise of providing liberal access to a photo ID that voters were required to show on Election Day.
Tuesday, Oct. 9, is the last day for Pennsylvanians to register to vote in the general election.
Simpson, of Nazareth, is a former Northampton County judge.

Great article! I've started the hunt for this guy, as well. An interesting fact: There are 2 different types of Camel Figurines; One that is the dud, and the other that ports you up to Feralas. This is apparent on WoWhead by seeing that the second item id (50409) includes the cyclone effect to teleport you. So, in my opinion, enlisting NPC scan's help is actually a great idea, since you can put in the 'active' Camel Figurine id and search for it. No need to empty the cache when it only pops to yield your mount.

If you can understand what this guy is saying, you'll understand the genius of it.
Thank you, sir. Appreciate.

United looked as though they were going to take complete control of the game early in the second half, particularly after Larnell Cole had rounded Dunbavin to put United two-up, but Stanley came back strongly as the half progressed. Johnstone came to United's aid again during the second spell as Stanley went looking for a goal.
The game, and the destination of the trophy, was effectively put beyond their grasp, with nine minutes remaining, when Cole grabbed his secod of the night following smart work from Joshua King. Norwegian striker King had the last word when he cracked home United fourth goal, from Marnick Vermijl's pass, in the final minute.
United: Johnstone; Vermijl, Fornasier, Thorpe, Blackett; Giverin (Lawrence 23, (Veseli 81)), Cole, Tunnicliffe, Petrucci, Bebe (Januzaj 65); King. Subs not used: Sutherland, Daehli.

Jon Beason will practice this week in hopes of playing
Giants linebacker Jon Beason wanted to play Sunday.
But he's going to have to prove he's able to practice this week before he gets another chance on Thursday.
The veteran linebacker was inactive for last week's win over the Texans with his latest foot injury, but hopes to return to the field Thursday night against Washington.
"We're going to see to what extent Jon can be a part of our on-the-field work [this week]," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said, via Jordan Raanan of NJ.com.
Beason thought the worst when he aggravated the injury in Week Two. But after a visit to foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte (who knows Beason's file well) and a change of shoes, he thinks he'll get able to go this week.
Martellus Bennett demands inflection when you talk about him
Bears tight end Martellus Bennett doesn't just want your respect.
He wants you to have the right tone of voice when you express it.
Bennett said he was angered that Jets coach Rex Ryan was monotone about his own abilities after talking about what "monsters" the Bears had at wide receiver.
"He was like, 'Oh, yeah, the tight end is a big dude,'" Bennett said, via Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune. "I was kind of pissed about that. I feel like when someone talks about me, they should have some type of enthusiasm."
If he wants an enthusiastic response, he won't have to look far. He caught five passes for 54 yards and two touchdowns last night. He leads the Bears in receptions with 20, he's second in receiving yards, and has four touchdowns, at least one in each game.
"I'm a lot better player than I was last year," Bennett said. "This summer I took a whole lot of time to work on my game, and I saw a lot of things. Last year was my second year of really being 'the guy,' and I was still learning a lot, still learning how to play football.
"Right now, I feel like I'm very intelligent on the field with my style of play and my preparation."
We agree, and the results speak for themselves. Or perhaps we should say WE AGREE!!!!!
(Was that OK, Martellus?)
Geno Smith's uneven again, but Rex Ryan still has his back
There were some good fantasy stats involved, but in last night's loss to the Bears, Jets quarterback Geno Smith raised his turnover total to five.
Two more interceptions go with his previous two picks and a fumble to undermine his first three games, but Jets coach Rex Ryan was quick to defend him afterward.
"Guys, this ain't the same quarterback he was at the beginning of last year," Ryan said of Smith, via Dom Cosentino of NJ.com. "I don't care what people say. Did he make a mistake, he wasn't perfect? Yeah, absolutely. Their quarterback [Jay Cutler] made a mistake, but the difference is they caught the ball, and we didn't."
That was a dropped interception by Antonio Allen, but that didn't change the generally undisciplined game Smith played, with a pick-six and another interception in the end zone to kill a drive which could have gotten the Jets back in the game.
Smith was moving the Jets between the 20s, spreading the ball to nine different receivers, and racking up 316 passing yards. But they only got one touchdown out of six trips to the red zone, and that was the difference.
"We've got to figure that out right now, and it starts with myself," Smith said. "I've got to make sure when we get down in that red zone—we were 1-for-6 today, and that's completely awful. We don't expect to ever go 1-for-6 because we hold ourselves to a high standard, and that starts with me having a turnover, or having some plays where I maybe take a sack—something that happens that doesn't allow us to score seven points."
Ryan was asked whether he considered going to backup Michael Vick, but Ryan insisted Smith was his guy.
How long that lasts depends largely on Smith.
Kam Chancellor nursing bone spurs in his ankle
Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor certainly didn't look all that limited against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
However, it appears that the ankle issue that forced him to miss practice last Wednesday and land on the injury report was more troublesome than it seemed.
According to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports, Chancellor is dealing with bone spurs in his ankle that had the team considering surgery with the team set for their bye this week. If they had elected for surgery, Chancellor would have likely missed 6-8 weeks. Because the team already used their one reserve/injured-designation to return card on cornerback Jeremy Lane, they would have had to carry him on their active roster the whole time.
Head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that the ankle injury had really affected Chancellor's play in Seattle's loss in Week 2 to the San Diego Chargers.
"He's had ankle issues for some time," Carroll said. "His ankle really bothered him in the San Diego game. It was on fire. It really got in the way of his play."
But the team believes they've found a treatment plan to keep Chancellor's ankle problems quieted down to where it won't affect his play.
"[The trainers] found a couple things that they could do to help him," Carroll said. "…We didn't have a great outlook going into the week, we weren't sure, but it just turned really quickly on Thursday and fortunately he came flying back."
Chancellor had nine tackles, two passes defended, a forced fumble and a key interception of Peyton Manning in the fourth quarter that preserved Seattle's five-point lead.
"Man, it felt great today," Chancellor told, via Garafolo. "Last week, it was bothering me. But this week, it felt amazing. We did some different stuff to fix it up, fix the shoes and stuff and it felt awesome."
It is still an issue the team will have to continue to monitor throughout the season.
49ers, Cardinals fans involved in bloody melee
Following the NFL's realignment in 2002, the four teams placed in the new NFC West didn't really have histories that led to heated rivalries between the teams.
The Seattle Seahawks had been a member of the AFC. The Arizona Cardinals had been in the NFC East and the rivalry between the Rams and San Francisco 49ers didn't feel like it carried over when the Rams moved to St. Louis in 1995.
Now over a decade into the new alignment, the rivalries on the field have heated up and apparently carried over to the stands as well.
According to Andrew Joseph of AZCentral.com, a massive brawl broke out in the stands during the Cardinals 23-14 victory over the 49ers on Sunday afternoon.
Several fights occurred in that section of the stadium during the game.
In a video posted to Youtube that has since been removed, a group of close to 10-20 fans appeared to be involved in the incident. After some pushing and shoving with punches thrown, a handful of bodies tumbled down a staircase in the stadium as the fight enveloped security as well that was attempting to quell the melee.
In the aftermath, blood could be seen splattered over the stadium's staircase.
One person was arrested with several others ejected from the stadium.
Report: Cardinals signing RB Marion Grice
The Cardinals are reportedly adding another reserve tailback.
The club has reached a deal with rookie Marion Grice, a member of the Chargers' practice squad, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Monday.
The Chargers selected Grice (6-0, 208) in Round Six of the 2014 draft. He led San Diego in rushing in the preseason, but he was waived on Sept. 1 before being re-signed to the practice squad.
The signing of Grice, once official, will give the Cardinals five tailbacks, with Stepfan Taylor, Jalen Parmele and Robert Hughes the other backups behind lead back Andre Ellington. The signing would also give Arizona 54 players without another roster move, so a corresponding transaction is coming.
The Cardinals' addition of Grice comes with the Chargers having just two healthy running backs (Donald Brown, Branden Oliver). The Chargers lost Danny Woodhead to a season-ending leg injury in the Week Three win at Buffalo, and starter Ryan Mathews is dealing with a knee injury. San Diego will almost certainly add at least one more back before Sunday's game vs. Jacksonville.
Report: Manti Te'o has broken foot, out "multiple weeks"
Yet another foot injury will sideline Manti Te'o.
Te'o, a starting inside linebacker for the Chargers, will be out "multiple weeks" with a fractured right foot, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Monday.
The 23-year-old Te'o recorded 10 tackles in the Chargers' 22-10 win at Buffalo on Sunday. The former Notre Dame star and 2013 second-round pick has been a starter since joining San Diego, appearing in 16 games over two seasons with 80 tackles and four passes defended. According to the Union-Tribune, Kavell Conner is likely to replace Te'o in the lineup.
Te'o has suffered injuries to both feet since entering the NFL last spring. He had right foot surgery in the offseason, and he dealt with a left foot ailment this summer. Te'o's current right foot injury is a new ailment, and it is one that will not necessitate him landing on injured reserve, the Union-Tribune said.
The Chargers have won two games in a row. They are heavy favorites against winless Jacksonville next Sunday.
Cutler, Bennett connect for two scores as Bears earn 27-19 win over Jets
Jay Cutler and Martellus Bennett connected on a pair of touchdown passes and the Chicago Bears held off a second half New York Jets rally to earn a 27-19 victory on Monday night.
The Jets out-gained the Bears by a 414-257 margin but had three turnovers and a muffed punt that turned into a 14-0 hole New York had to dig their way out of.
Despite the deficit, the Jets still had a chance to tie in the closing seconds. Geno Smith led New York on a 12-play, 71-yard drive to get within sight of the goal line, but a fourth down pass from Smith to Jeremy Kerley fell incomplete as the Bears held on for the victory.
The Jets drove inside the Bears 25-yard line on seven different occasions and only came away with one touchdown. The results of those possession: field goal, field goal, touchdown, interception, field goal, field goal, turnover on downs.
The Jets also had a touchdown taken away when a fumble returned for a touchdown by Demario Davis was blown dead by the officials. New York instead failed to score on the ensuing possession.
The Bears secondary took some significant blows as safeties Chris Conte, Danny McCray and Ryan Mundy all left with injuries throughout the contest, forcing Chicago to turn to rookie Brock Vereen and Ahmad Dixon.
Mundy intercepted Smith for a 45-yard touchdown in the first quarter and Bennett hauled in his first touchdown, a 7-yard catch, from Cutler following muffed punt catch from Jalen Saunders.
The Bears added a 13-yard touchdown pass to Bennett and two Robbie Gould field goals.
Ultimately, the Jets didn't have the ability to score touchdowns despite repeated trips into the Chicago red zone. Smith and Kerley connected for a 19-yard touchdown in the third quarter and Nick Folk converted four field goals (43, 28, 22, 42 yards) for the Jets
Chris Conte out for Bears, Eric Decker out for Jets
The Chicago Bears are having their depth at safety tested during Monday night's game against the New York Jets,
Both Chicago starters have suffered shoulder injuries in the game.
Chris Conte is out for the rest of the game after injuring his shoulder in the third quarter. Ryan Mundy also left the game with a shoulder injury, but his return to the game was listed as probable.
Danny McCray and rookie Brock Vereen came into the game to replace Conte and Mundy for the Bears.
Jets receiver Eric Decker's status for the game was also in question prior to the game due to a hamstring injury. Decker was active for the game but left once again after re-aggravating the injury during Monday night's game.
Decker caught just one pass for 19 yards before leaving the game with the injury. He was initially ruled as questionable to return to the game but was downgraded to out in the fourth quarter.
Blown call costs Jets a touchdown before halftime
The officials are doing the Jets no favors as they try to come from behind against the Bears.
With a minute and a half to go before halftime, Jets linebacker David Harris hit Jay Cutler, forcing a fumble that Jets linebacker Demario Davis scooped up and ran downfield for what looked like an easy touchdown. Unfortunately, the officials blew the play dead.
It was reviewed on instant replay and correctly ruled a fumble, but because the officials had wrongly blown the play dead, the Jets didn't get the touchdown that Davis almost certainly would have scored if the play had been correctly called on the field. The Jets' offense wasn't able to do anything after gaining possession, and the Jets had to punt.
Correct that blown call and the bad pass interference call that set up the Bears' only offensive touchdown, and this game that the Bears lead 17-13 could easily be something more like a 20-10 Jets lead.
The Jets have to overcome both the Bears and the officials in the second half.
The story behind ESPN's Ravens story, sort of
ESPN's bombshell story regarding the Ravens' mishandling of the Ray Rice investigation landed on Friday at 5:47 p.m. ET, in a spot where information typically goes to not be noticed.
The decision to publish the item in a bad-news wasteland fewer than two hours after Commissioner Roger Goodell's press conference has sparked questions in the industry about the thought process behind pulling the sheet off the story late on a Friday afternoon, versus holding it for Sunday morning or — as TMZ surely did with the Ray Rice video two weeks ago — Monday morning.
ESPN's position is that there's nothing to see regarding the timing of a story that may not have received the attention and traction it deserved beyond those who closely follow the NFL. The story was published as soon as it was ready, ESPN contends. Curiosity about the timing nevertheless exists.
The curiosity is enhanced by some of the circumstances surrounding the final hours before the report was published. Although ESPN's reporters worked on the story for 11 days, the first request for comment to the NFL came at 12:34 p.m. ET Friday, via a list of 15 detailed, written questions submitted roughly 90 minutes after the league announced that Commissioner Roger Godless would be conducting a press conference at 3:00 p.m. ET. The Ravens separately received a list of written questions at roughly 1:00 p.m. ET on Friday.
The NFL declined to answer any of the written questions, and it appears that ESPN did not send anyone to the press conference with the task of posing any, some, or all of the 15 questions directly to Goodell. Spokesman Greg Aiello told ESPN, "Mr. [Robert] Mueller is in the process of conducting his investigation into the pursuit and handling of evidence in the Ray Rice domestic violence incident. His report will be made public."
The story initially claimed that Rice watched Baltimore's Week One game with center A.Q. Shipley, a clear error given that Shipley had been cut by the Ravens and claimed on waivers by the Colts. The mistake quickly was corrected. Likewise, the contention that Ravens senior personnel assistant George Kokinis believed that Rice should be cut in February is regarded by some in the organization as a mischaracterization of his role and responsibilities. At least one member of the Ravens organization privately has pointed to these errors as evidence that the entire story may lack full and complete credibility.
ESPN has said repeatedly that it stands by its reporting, reiterating that stance in the wake of the lengthy statement issued on Monday by the Ravens and owner Steve Bisciotti's press conference. During his 47 minutes with the media, Bisciotti accused ESPN of essentially rushing the story to publication, pointing to the fact that the reporters spent 11 days working on the story but that ESPN ultimately asked for input from the league and the team only a few hours before the story was unleashed.
Given the potential damage that an inflammatory report like this can do to the broader relationship between ESPN and the NFL, it's odd to say the least that ESPN opted to push forward at a time when the parties against whom the allegations were made didn't have a full and fair opportunity to respond to details that took nearly two weeks to compile. Perhaps ESPN wanted to redirect blame from the NFL to the Ravens in the aftermath of the Goodell press conference. Perhaps ESPN wanted to make Goodell seem less credible. Perhaps ESPN simply believed that publishing the story within the hours after Goodell's press conference would generate the most attention for the story, and in turn for ESPN.
Or perhaps ESPN simply decided that it didn't make sense to wait for someone else to report the same information ESPN was poised to report.
The timing of the publication has no bearing on the accuracy of the report. But with the Ravens now issuing a lengthy statement identifying the many flaws that it believes the report contains, ESPN may feel compelled to continue to work the story even harder, in order to prove that the Ravens are wrong, and that ESPN is right.
Ultimately, the tie may be broken by Robert Mueller, the former FBI director who is investigating the Rice investigation.
Jets have pick-six, muffed punt, down 14-0 in first five minutes
The Jets got off to a bad start tonight against the Bears. A very bad start.
On the game's first series, Jets quarterback Geno Smith threw a pass right into the hands of Chicago's Ryan Mundy, who raced 45 yards for a touchdown to make the score 7-0.
An exchange of punts ensued, but Jets return man Jalen Saunders muffed his punt, and the Bears recovered. A Jay Cutler deep ball to Alshon Jeffery resulted in a highly questionable pass interference penalty on the Jets, setting up first-and-goal.
From there, Jay Cutler hit Martellus Bennett in the end zone for a seven-yard touchdown, and it was 14-0 Bears, barely five minutes into the game.
This one's a long way from over. But early on, it looks like we could have another prime time mismatch on our hands.
Bisciotti shrugs at possibility he'd be forced to sell over Rice situation
In the aftermath of Friday's ESPN report regarding the alleged mishandling of the Ray Rice investigation, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti met for 47 minutes with the media to answer many questions about the report and the investigation.
Informed that a Forbes article has raised the possibility of Bisciotti being forced to sell the team, Bisciotti said, "If they force me to sell, then I guess I'll sell."
He then added that, because he doesn't work very hard as owner of the team, he really wouldn't have a major void in his life.
Bisciott's version of the situation, as articulated at the press conference and set forth in the the lengthy statement from the team, could be interpreted as Bisciotti believing that he did nothing that would justify a decision to force him to sell the team. Ultimately, the decision regarding what the Ravens knew, when they knew it, and what if anything they did wrong will be made by former FBI director Robert Mueller, who is conducting an investigation of the entire situation.
And that's when things could get even more interesting. If Bisciotti disputes Mueller's version of the events, will Bisciotti change his mind regarding whether any employees of the team should no longer be employees of the team? Or will Bisciotti dispute Mueller's report the same way Bisciotti disputed the ESPN report?
That's an angle that, like so many other issues in this situation, the NFL and the Ravens possibly haven't thought all the way through. Are the league office and the Ravens prepared to accept Mueller's conclusion, or will they reserve the right to disagree, like Goodell did when former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue overturned the suspensions imposed by Goodell in the Saints bounty scandal?
Ultimately, Mueller's investigation could result in many eye-opening conclusions. At this point, nothing should be ruled out.
Included a possible decision by ownership that Bisciotti should sell the team. If that happens, it sounds like he'll go more quietly than Donald Sterling did.
Reports: James Harrison to rejoin Steelers
Less than a month after retiring, James Harrison is set to rejoin the club with whom he's had his greatest success, per multiple published reports.
The Steelers will sign the 36-year-old Harrison this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported Monday.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Harrison will meet with the Steelers on Tuesday and is on track to sign, barring any snags.
Long-time Steelers beat reporter Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette also reported that Harrison will rejoin the team after a season away.
And on Instagram, Harrison posted a video suggesting he would be returning to Pittsburgh.
The Steelers are in need of outside linebacking depth after Jarvis Jones was placed on injured reserve/designated for return on Monday, and Harrison is well-versed in Dick LeBeau's defense. The 36-year-old Harrison played 10 seasons for Pittsburgh (2002, 2004-2012), recording 64 sacks. He played 10 games for Cincinnati in 2013.
Eric Decker, Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery all active tonight
Three starting wide receivers were listed as inactive for tonight's game. They'll all play.
Jets receiver Eric Decker and Bears receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery are all active. They may not be 100 percent healthy — Decker's hamstring in particular has caused some concerns — but they're all going to play.
Inactive for the Jets is cornerback Dee Milliner, meaning the Jets' secondary will have a tough task against Marshall and Jeffery.
The Jets' other inactives are defensive tackle T.J. Barnes, offensive tackle Dakota Dozier, linebacker A.J. Edds, defensive end Ikemefuna Enemkpali, receiver Walter Powell and offensive tackle Ben Ijalana.
The Bears' inactives are center Roberto Garza, tackle Charles Leno, linebacker Shea McClellin, cornerback Sherrick McManis, defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff, defensive end Trevor Scott and guard Matt Slauson.

Griffin O'Neal, the son of Ryan O'Neal and late actress Joanna Moore, talks to CNN's Larry King about Ryan's drug use, sexual infidelity, and violent behavior. Read more and see the video of Griffin O'Neal on Larry King Live below.
CNN's Larry King that aired Monday night, featured Ryan O'Neal's son, Griffin O'Neal, who makes some pretty interesting claims. Just a few include Ryan O'Neal attempting to shoot Griffin and injuring his wife, his infidelity while with Farrah Fawcett, and giving his sons drugs.
Here's the Transcript from Larry King Live below:
Larry King: Was [Farrah Fawcett] a good friend?
Griffin O'Neal: She was a great friend. Yes. I came from a not-so-nice kind of a world. We were a kind of a battling and kind of crazy family. And she was so nice, I didn't trust her. … And the crazy, sad part was that she stayed nice all the way to the end. And it broke my heart when I was not allowed in to say good-bye to her.
King: Well, how old were you when Ryan and her got together?
O'Neal: Thirteen, sir.
King: Were you close with your biological mother [Joanna Moore]?
O'Neal: My mother died back in '97. And, yes, my mother was the light of my life.

King: Were she and Farrah close?
O'Neal: They had met once. They had a lot in common, just because they were two lovely Southern belles.
King: You weren't allowed to attend the funeral at the cathedral. Why not?
O'Neal: I guess I'm a bad guy.
King: Who didn't let you attend?
O'Neal: Ryan didn't want me in. I call him Ryan now. I've had to let go of him as being my dad, not that he was ever really a dad. But he said, no, no Griffin. Tatum, Patrick, even my daughter was allowed in. It's OK. I said my good-bye to Farrah the day that she died. [Tatum is Griffin's sister, and Patrick is Griffin's half-brother, the child of Ryan and Leigh Taylor-Young.]
King: You did speak to her?
O'Neal: No, no, no. I said my good-byes inside my heart and with the clouds and with the higher power that I believe in. No, I had not seen her since … the day before my father tried to shoot me in the face.
King: He was mad at her having cancer?
O'Neal: Yes, because the attention was diverted to Farrah. He didn't like that.
King: He's a narcissist?
O'Neal: Absolute complete narcissist in every way.
King: Give us your description of the relationship between between your father and Farrah.
O'Neal: It was bombastic at times. There were great times. There was very hard times. By the time Red [Redmond O'Neal, Griffin's half-brother] was 5, they lived in separate rooms in a very large house. Video Watch report on Ryan O'Neal's behavior since Fawcett's death »
King: Was he not faithful to her?
O'Neal: Faithless. He has no faith.
King: Was he faithful to her … in the relationship?
O'Neal: No.
King: He saw other women?
O'Neal: Are you kidding? She walked in on him and he was with some other woman.
King: Do you know this for a fact or is it hearsay?
O'Neal: No, sir, I know this for a fact. She told me. He forgot. He locked every lock in the house, except he forgot that she had a remote control for the garage, and there she is.
King: Why do you think she left her entire estate to Redmond and none to Ryan?
O'Neal: I don't think she was as unconscious as they thought she was. When you're dying of cancer, because I watched my mother die of cancer, you're in and out of a morphine haze. I think she saw the transparency between her, my father and Alana [Stewart]. And I think there's a little bit more to be said about that. We'll find out later.
King: Do you think they had a relationship?
O'Neal: Can't say they did. I know my father very well. He's a hard one to fend off.
King: You're married.
O'Neal: I'm married to a beautiful woman. I have three kids actually. I have a 20-year-old daughter. I have a 15-year-old son and a 2-year-old.
King: We got a statement from Arnold Robinson, Ryan O'Neal's publicist. "Griffin has not had a relationship with Farrah or Ryan for many years. Therefore, there is no way he would have any knowledge of what was going on in their lives." Want to respond? … You had a relationship with Farrah to the end?
O'Neal: We had a relationship through text messaging. I sent her messages of my son.
King: So that statement is false?
O'Neal: I don't even know who this person is. This person has no idea what they're talking about.
King: When was the last night you talk to your father?
O'Neal: The night he tried to shoot me in the face.
King: Tell me what happened. By the way, he was charged and the charges were dismissed.
O'Neal: Well, you know what? I had finally had enough. … My brother Red would do a seven-day detox, and he'd split on the sixth day. And then — so my dad would get mad and not pay the detox center. So this happened to every detox center in Los Angeles. What ended up happening was Redmond was no longer allowed at a detox center in Los Angeles, which basically put the weight on me.
So now dad got home. I had my brother locked down. … He was broken. My brother said: I didn't think anybody was going to stop me. I didn't think anybody loved me and thank you.
He cried and held Jo-Jo, my wife, and held me … and said, I didn't think anybody was going to stop me because my dad just let him do whatever he wanted to do, supplied him with cash for his drugs, supplied him with everything. It was a losing battle.
King: What happened that night? Why did he try to shoot you?
O'Neal: Because I said, dad, if you want to take care of this yourself, because I know you don't know what to do, I said, you're on your own. … And then I started to tell him about how I felt, about how I felt about his fathering, about how I felt how he treated me when I was a child, and my sister and my mother.
King: This was how long ago?
O'Neal: This was that night. This was Farrah's birthday three years ago — two years ago.
King: So what happened?
O'Neal: He went crazy. And then my girl goes, he's got a stick. I'm packing my stuff upstairs.
King: What's a stick?
O'Neal: I don't know. She didn't know what it was either. All I know is I got stabbed in the side with a fireplace poker. Not the shovel and not the brush. It was the gnarly part of the poker.
King: And then he shot you?
O'Neal: No, no. Then I said — and as he's swinging back — he hits my girl in the face, crushing four bones in her cheeks, put nine stitches above her head. He glances at her. I grab the poker and I say, don't. Of course, all 237 pounds of him, he falls on my eight and a half month pregnant wife, right on her stomach. I grabbed the poker out of his hand and said don't move. I will bury this in your head. Don't move. My dad is a very, very, very violent man.
King: Did you call the police?
O'Neal: Oh, yes. We had to. She was bleeding.
King: Why were the charges dropped then?
O'Neal: Well, because, honestly, I didn't know how she got the injury. She was behind you, dad. I didn't tell him this. All she says is I saw a poker hit me in the face.
King: No evidence?
O'Neal: No evidence. I was honest all the way through. I said I don't know how she got the wound. I don't know how. She says she got hit. Either way, I was not the perpetrator. The perpetrator was the guy who stabbed me in the side and hurt me.
King: Are you close with Redmond?
O'Neal: Yes.
King: He's been arrested several times for drug possession, serving time now for probation violation, although he was allowed to attend the funeral. When did you last talk with him?
O'Neal: Two Sundays ago.
King: In prison?
O'Neal: Yes, sir.
King: When does he get out?
O'Neal: I don't know. He has another case pending. I mean, he's going to do a county year. It's not a nice place.
King: What's his problem?
O'Neal: His drug of choice, Larry, is more. That means whatever you've got, he'll take it. And, you know, he needs to love himself. He needs to find the love for himself. He is an amazing musician. He is an amazing individual. I had so many good dreams for him.
King: He seemed very close with his mother?
O'Neal: He was her pride and joy. … Redmond hung out with Ryan a lot, because Ryan allowed the drug use. He allowed the drug use in the house. And that was one of the reasons me and my dad fought.
King: Are Ryan and Redmond close?
O'Neal: Well, I think they are probably going to get a lot closer now, since Redmond has all the money. Who knows? Yes, they are close but for reasons that are ill. Ill reasons.
King: Like?
O'Neal: They party together. They were both arrested. My dad had more dope on him than Redmond did. This isn't the '70s anymore.
King: How is [Tatum] doing?
O'Neal: She's battling. It's been a battle for her, too. I guess people use substances to shut off the noise in their head. What ends up happening is the noises go away for a second, and then they come back completely amplified and then you are in a deeper hole than you were.
She is struggling to stay sober. I think she's OK now, but I have had to put some distance between us for a while, because I didn't think she was that healthy.
King: Why are you going public like this?
O'Neal: Everybody's had a lot of questions on what the heck happened to the O'Neal family.
King: Shakespearian.
O'Neal: Yes. And I don't want to hide anymore.
King: It's been reported that your father says he didn't recognize Tatum at the funeral, and when she embraced him, he asked, do you have a drink on you? Do you have a car? What do you think of that story?
O'Neal: He was flirting with everybody.
King: With his daughter?
O'Neal: My dad is getting up in the years now. I don't think he really recognizes people that he's known for years.
King: His daughter.
O'Neal: It was his daughter. He didn't realize it was her.
King: Something about you; in 1986, you were driving a speedboat when a horrible accident occurred, killed Francis Ford Coppola's son, John Carlo. You were acquitted of manslaughter, but convicted of negligent operation of a boat. The trial judge said you had a history of lying with little respect for others. Was that statement true in 1986?
O'Neal: Well, I never met the judge before, and I didn't know if I had a history of lying or not. But I probably did. That was one of the hardest times in my life. And I did lie. I said it wasn't me that was driving the boat. And I owned up to that. And I will live with that every day.
King: This whole life has been incredible for you. You must look in the mirror and say –
O'Neal: I try to avoid mirrors, Larry.
King: You are also angry about Alana Stewart [Farrah's friend], too?
O'Neal: I don't trust her. She was selling Farrah's stuff on eBay the day Farrah died. Trust me, I know who she sells through on eBay. I am disgusted with those people. I thought they were exploiting her. I think that they will continue to exploit her through the "Farrah Story II" and Alana's new book.
Caller to "Larry King Live": I want to ask Mr. Griffin if he is worried about any relationship that is left over with his dad, that if there will be a relationship.
O'Neal: I can honestly say my dad has not called me once. He has shown zero remorse for the 22 stitches he put in my wife's face. And he showed very little remorse for trying to shoot me in the face. I'm having a hard time thinking there is going to be some reconciliation.

This was my first year hosting Thanksgiving and I was most nervous about doing the turkey. I knew a Paula Deen recipe wouldn't fail me, and it surely didn't! This recipe is so easy and my turkey came out perfectly moist and tender. My husband did the rub underneath the skin and directly on the meat- the turkey retained better flavor that way and the skin browned beautifully. The onions inside were a yummy bonus once cooked. Wonderful turkey recipe, will definitely make again!

Perfect! Easy tasted wonderful

i have loved you from the first day I saw you Paula. You actually made cooking look easy and fun. It made me try other things besides the few little recipes that I knew. My mother was a pretty good cook but she didn't want anyone else to be so she would leave something out of every recipe she gave you. Even though I bought cook books I was afraid to try any of the recipes in them. Then I started watching you and you gave me the courage to try. My husband and I have just gone our separate ways and he took all my cookbooks out of spite. Its nice to know that one click and I can find the best recipes and I can trust them. I hope to see you on TV again soon. You are loved.

I like your turkey, just not the garlic. My dressing you may like. It's Vienna dried out in oven for a bit. Put in brown bag, set aside till your ready to put it altogether. My father was a chef, so here goes. He always told me to use leaf sage, salt and pepper, lots of fairly sweet onions chopped, lots of celery chopped, pecans, about a cup chopped. raisins a few, chicken broth and milk to moisten Vienna dressing. He always told me to rub the dried leaf sage in the palm of my hand and put it in dressing. 1 apple diced also. Then I mix with the milk and broth. stuff the turkey, then I make a bowl also in the oven, bake for about an hour........the dressing that is, and if you want oysters, chop em up and put them in too. But my kids do not like oysters. Dad used to stuff the neck under some of the stuffing outside the turkey. I like it moist so have fun with this recipe. This receipe about 85 years old.

By Judy Ruhl on November 13, 2013
For many years I cooked my turkey in the oven like you have done, but since I found the bags to cook it in I wouldn't cook it any other way. Mine comes out just as moist and juicy as it ever did, but I don't have as much work to do. You should try it sometime.
