HOUSTON -- Cedric Bensons rocky tenure with the Chicago Bears got murkier Saturday after the running backs arrest on drunken-driving charges in Austin, his second arrest in just more than a month.
Cedric Benson, RB
Chicago Bears
Height: 5-11
Weight: 220
College: Texas
Experience: 3
Games/Started: 35/12
Bears officials said they would treat the matter seriously. Bensons attorney said the former Texas star had had a few drinks with dinner but didn think he was intoxicated and cooperated with police.
Still, attorney Sam Bassett acknowledged, Hes probably in trouble with his team for breaking curfew and having anything to drink under the circumstances.
Authorities said Benson was arrested early Saturday after he failed a field sobriety test. The former first-round draft pick was charged with driving while intoxicated and released on bond.
The arrest comes a month after Benson was charged with boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest. He has said neither charge is true, and ...

Williamson working on improving hands with new team
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Receiver Troy Williamson was the last player on the field during minicamp Saturday, spending extra time with his position coach.
Getty Images
After three disappointing seasons in Minnesota, WR Troy Williamson is looking forward to being a part of a revamped Jaguars receiving corps.
He wasn doing any speed drills. He wasn working on getting off the line of scrimmage. And he wasn running routes.
He was catching passes -- the thing that haunted him in Minnesota and caused him to seek a fresh start with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
But guess what? Williamson caught them all. In fact, he has caught just about everything thrown his way during Jacksonvilles two-day camp and since the team began offseason workouts last month.
Its just a big weight lifted off him, all that pressure, receivers coach Todd Monken said. Its still early, but weve been pleasantly surprised.
The Jaguars traded a sixth-round draft pick for Williamson, the seventh overall pick in the 2005 ...
Golf Swing Tip
When we golf, we spend a lot of time behind trees -- and thats before we break out the six-pack. So Ken Williams, of Professional Golf Teachers and Coaches of America, told us how to hit the ball so itll curve around bark. Use a sand wedge if the ball is in 4 or more inches of grass, your pitching wedge if you want it to go farther than 20 yards.
Miss the tree
Stand so the ball is 2 inches to the left of your right foot. Keep a narrow stance, and aim your body to the left of the tree by moving your left foot back. This makes the ball come off your club to the left side of the tree.
Hit the ball
When you bring your club back, keep your hands at the same height as your hips. Swing so youll hit down on the ball. That will keep your club from making too much contact with grass and you from serving it up next to the stump.
Reach the fairway
Hit the ball so your club connects with the back side of the ball. This pops the ball up and around the tree. Your follow-through should mirror your ...
Golf Tips from Camilo Villegas
Last September, Camilo Villegas was driving his black, 500-horsepower Porsche Cayenne Turbo to his Atlanta hotel after a PGA tournament when he saw flashing lights behind him. He pulled onto the shoulder of the road and waited as a policeman sauntered up to his window.
You been drinking? the cop asked.
Officer, I just got off the golf course. I was playing in a tournament, replied Villegas.
So youve had a few drinks.
Officer, like I said, I just got off the course.
Thats exactly what I mean, countered the cop. You golf, you drink. Thats what its all about.
After Villegas explained he was a professional golfer, the officer relented and let him off the hook for creeping above the speed limit. I thought that was pretty funny, says Villegas. Lots of people still don think of golf as a sport.
Villegas pronounced bee-JAY-gus is a 26-year-old from Colombia who turned pro in 2004 and finished last year with nearly $4 million in career earnings. Although he has yet to ...
Seduction, Fast and Easy
Jack remembers the moment vividly. His fiancée, Tamara, pulled the sheet over her head, afraid to face him. She blurted it out: Jack, I don come when we do it.
His head spun. Theyd been having sex for 2 years. She seemed, well, satisfied. To his--and her--credit, they talked about it; they didn let this bombshell wreck their relationship. And they tried everything: vibrators, romantic weekends, oral sex--until my jaw ached, Jack says.
After a month of effort, he came to my office, desperate and distraught, not sure what to try next.
Maybe you have to stop trying so hard to turn her on, I said, and learn how to turn her off.
Jack looked at me. Who was I, Yoda?
I switched from Zen-speak to sex-therapist mode, explaining that a womans arousal depends on deep relaxation and an absence of anxiety. Ive counseled countless women, and its universal--when they
e relaxed, it happens. There are brain scans to prove it.

The Sex You Deserve
5 NEW PLACES TO DO IT
On the Washer
Your washing machine produces more vibration than any other appliance in your home. Problem is, most people don use it right. You should be the one with your butt on the lid. The motion will be transmitted through your pelvis, essentially turning your member into a life-size vibrator. Run a warm-water load so the top won be cold.

To really add some spice to your sex life, make a quick stop at your bank. A safe-deposit-box room is quiet, the door is locked, and theres no camera. Its a great place to make a deposit and withdraw.

Boost your own distance and durability with Vijay Singh's golfer's workout
Vijay Singh spends lots of time in the public eye -- contending for titles nine wins last year, accepting checks nearly $11 million in 2004, and battling Tiger Woods for the worlds number-one ranking.
But its his behind-the-scenes training program on the range and in the gym that keeps him on top of the game at age 42. Singhs high-intensity regimen features twice-a-day workouts with golf-specific moves that hone his physical, mental, and tactical game.
At this age, Im the strongest Ive ever been in my life, he says. The idea about playing golf used to be, ‘Hey, you don need muscles, theyll interfere with the golf swing. In this day and age, the golf game has evolved into something totally different -- who hits it the farthest, who lasts the longest. You can do that by just hitting golf balls. You have to do it by working out, getting strong.
Singhs trainer, Joey Diovisalvi, C.S.C.S., designs workouts to focus on rotational power and flexibility. The following three ...

LG KF600
While no one has come close to matching the touch screen of the Apple iPhone, the LG KF600 is definitely headed in the right direction. The KF600 features a dual screen with the bottom half or “InteractPad” acting as the buttons, but what’s unique is that the dynamic interface adapts to the particular function that is being used. The phone has some really elegant themes interacting between the two screens, but the touchpad feels somewhat clunky and often unresponsive. Nor is the 3-megapixel camera the best you can get on a phone, but that said, the 4x digital zoom makes up for it. The photo viewer, meanwhile, is very impressive: using the touch screen you can zoom in on areas of a photo using a mini map-style interface. The KF600’s piece de resistance though is the music player, which is where the “InteractPad” really shines. As if by magic, the phone transforms into an MP3 music player with controls to skip tracks, pause and play music and even create your own playlists, while ...

Why We Fight DVD
More than three years after its first appearance at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury prize, documentarian Eugene Jarecki’s polemic against the American way of war at last makes it to DVD in this country.
Jarecki’s film attempts to map the influence of big business on US foreign policy. It takes, as its starting point, President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s warning, in his 1961 farewell address, about what he called “the military-industrial complex”: the alliance of military professionals, arms industry executives and politicians who together stand to benefit most from continued overseas military activity.
This is a partisan history of the second half of the American century and the beginning of this one, but some facts are indisputable: since WWII, the US has lurched from one conflict to another. Our closest ally really is an exceptionally bellicose nation.
To hear Jarecki and many of his interviewees tell it, this aggression is motivated by the greed and ...

Exotic Rides: Lexus IS F
In the not-so-distant past, there was a time when the Toyota Motor Corporation’s amenity-laden American affiliate, Lexus, was heavily scrutinized -- not for the grade of the vehicles produced, as most car manufacturers are, but for the catalog itself. This barrage of criticism was spurred by the complete absence of a single performance model rolling off of Lexus assembly lines.
Enter the Lexus Intelligent Sport series -- code name: IS. Although the first two generations of 200/300 and 250/350 were well received and a formidable foray into the arena of high-output luxury sedans, rivals like Infiniti, Mercedes, Acura, and specifically BMW were beefing up their offerings to previously unheard of proportions, putting the heat on Lexus to remain competitive. And Lexus took on the challenge with gusto -- thank the vehicular lords.
If the IS 430 prototype was to serve as any indication of Lexus performance capabilities, not even that could prepare us for the unveiling of the supremely ...
Cranberries
A cousin of the blueberry, this very tart, bright red berry can still be found growing wild as a shrub, but when cultivated, is grown on low trailing vines in great sandy bogs. The American cranberry, the variety most cultivated in the northern United States and southern Canada, produces a larger berry than the wild cranberry or the European variety.
Cranberries have long been valued for their ability to help prevent and treat urinary tract infections. Now, recent studies suggest that this native American berry may also promote gastrointestinal and oral health, prevent the formation of kidney stones, lower LDL and raise HDL good cholesterol, aid in recovery from stroke, and even help prevent cancer.
Fresh cranberries, which contain the highest levels of beneficial nutrients, are at their peak from October through December, just in time to add their festive hue, tart tangy flavor and numerous health protective effects to your holiday meals. When cranberries short fresh season is ...
College Sex Pointers for Better Sex
Read on for five college sex rules to better sex...
College Sex Rule 1: Claim a new campus
Consider the cafés, library nooks, and grassy quads where the average American college student spends most of the day. These public spaces foster a sexual vibe by design.
The most successful designs provide cozy spaces where small groups of students with common interests can interact, says Fred Dust, a senior partner at the design firm Ideo who works on university, commercial, and urban design projects. Both the physical comfort of a space and the sense of belonging put you at ease. So student lounges, flower-filled quads, coed dorms -- these settings are all designed to encourage intimacy and exclusivity.
Okay, so you

Strawberries
The fragrantly sweet juiciness and deep red color of strawberries can brighten up both the taste and aesthetics of any meal; it is no wonder they are the most popular berry fruit in the world. Although strawberries have become increasingly available year-round, they are at the peak of their season from April through July when they are the most delicious and most abundant.
While there are more than 600 varieties of strawberries that differ in flavor, size and texture, one can usually identify a strawberry by its red flesh that has yellow seeds piercing its surface, and the small, regal, green leafy cap and stem that adorn its crown. In addition to strawberries that are cultivated, there are also varieties that grow wild. These are much smaller in size, but feature a more intense flavor.

Golf Swing
The body of the typical weekend golfer looks more like Fuzzy Zoellers than David Duvals. But often the Fuzziest member of a foursome hits it longer than the leanest, fittest one.
In golf, flexibility means more than muscles and strength. It all comes down to those words you hear golf announcers whisper on Sundays: shoulder turn, load the right side, weight shift, clear the hips.
A golf workout must focus on flexibility and resemble the golf swing, says Neil Chasan, a physical therapist and author of Total Conditioning for Golfers. The biggest limitation for amateurs is a lack of shoulder turn, he says.
As you age, the muscles closest to your spine become stiffer. The exercise below can increase your spines range of motion and lead to a fuller shoulder turn. And more yards.

MECCANICO DG WATCH BY DE GRISOGONO
Introducing the worlds first mechanically powered digital watch
A god among watches, this is possibly the most sophisticated design youll ever wear on your wrist. Born from the imagination of the owner of de Grisogono, Fazwa Gruosi, the Meccanico dG is the worlds first mechanically powered digital watch. Bearing both an analogue display at the top of the dial and digital one at the bottom, this device is solely mechanical.
Clever, right? More than you think: beneath the analogue portion of the two-timezone watch is a numerical display driven by the intricate maze of 651 components. The numbers are then formed by the shifting motion of 23 cams and gears, all confined to a space no larger than the size of a matchbox. The design was released to coincide with the Geneva-based companys 15th birthday, and only 177 were ever produced in a colour selection of titanium, titanium and rubber, titanium and platinum, pink gold and red gold.
Sizing up at 58mm by 48m, this isn a watch for those ...
CRUSTY OR CRUDDY EYES
What May Be Causing It?
Gunky, crusty eyes may be caused by an allergy or an eye infection. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference, even for doctors. They tend to see more of those during allergy season, because people scratch their itchy eyes and can get an infection in the eye.
How Can I Get Some Relief?
Don’t tackle this yourself. If your eyes are crusty in the morning or you see crustiness throughout the day, you may have in-eye infection.
Do I Need to See a Doctor?
Yes. See your doctor right away. It may be much more serious than an allergy and is more of a medical emergency that needs to be treated promptly. Don’t delay treatment. Waiting could leave you with a serious infection in the eye that’s a lot harder to treat. ...
Signs You Don't Want The Job
You’ve heard it all before: When you have a job interview it’s important to come on time, dress right and project a positive attitude. What people always seem to forget, however, is that it’s crucial that you also use this opportunity to get a sense of your potential employer. After all, what good is an offer from a company you’d desperately want to leave after just a few days? The next time you embark on an interview for employment, make sure you watch for these signs you don’t want the job.
The interview takes place off-site
Obviously, if you’re applying for a field position abroad or in a different city, chances are the interview will have to occur in a public place. However, if the company has a local office and the interviewer still insists on meeting you at a bar or a restaurant, you should consider it one of the signs you don’t want the job. Some employers resort to this practice when they’re trying to hide something about the office environment, while others use the casual ...

Papaya
Deliciously sweet with musky undertones and a soft, butter-like consistency, it is no wonder the papaya was reputably called the fruit of the angels by Christopher Columbus. Once considered quite exotic, they can now be found in markets throughout the year. Although there is a slight seasonal peak in early summer and fall, papaya trees produce fruit year round.
Papayas are spherical or pear-shaped fruits that can be as long as 20 inches. The ones commonly found in the market usually average about 7 inches and weigh about one pound. Their flesh is a rich orange color with either yellow or pink hues. Inside the inner cavity of the fruit are black, round seeds encased in a gelatinous-like substance. Papayas seeds are edible, although their peppery flavor is somewhat bitter. The fruit, as well as the other parts of the papaya tree, contain papain, an enzyme that helps digest proteins. This enzyme is especially concentrated in the fruit when it is unripe. Papain is extracted to make ...
The 20 Unhealthiest Drinks in America
Americans have a drinking problem, and not the type you might think. As the authors of the best-selling book Eat This, Not That!, David Zinczenko and co-author Matt Goulding get e-mails all the time from readers who claim they eat carefully, they work out consistently, but they still can get the needle on the scale to budge. What gives? goes the collective, exasperated refrain from the stagnant dieter.
What most people don know is that the biggest roadblock between you and the body you want isn found at the end of a fork, but at the bottom of a glass. As a country we take in 21 percent of our daily calories from beverages and, according to the FDA, the average American takes in 82 grams of added sugars every day. Thats 20 teaspoons, which contribute an empty 317 calories to our already calorie-saturated diets.
Sure, some of that comes from soda, but even if youve traded regular Coke for diet, whole milk coffee drinks for low-fat lattes, and you barely touch the booze, you could ...
Cabbage
Sturdy, abundant and inexpensive, cabbage is a longstanding dietary staple throughout the world and is so widely cultivated and stores so well that it is available throughout the year. However, it is at its best during the late fall and winter months when it is in season.
Cabbage is round in shape with layers of superimposed leaves with the inner leaves often lighter in color than the outer leaves because they are protected from the sunlight. They belong to the Cruciferae family of vegetables along with kale, broccoli, collards and Brussels sprouts.

The Incredible Hulk
Who: Edward Norton calm, angry, repeat, Liv Tyler loving, Tim Roth psychotic, William Hurt in charge, Robert Downey Jr. cool
Background: Aside from its fine comic heritage, 2008’s The Incredible Hulk has no ties to Ang Lee’s 2003 effort Hulk. Which is A Good Thing. Instead, director Louis Leterrier has cleverly sidestepped Lee’s brooding shots of, er, moss to produce a unexpected verdant treat. A smart opening title sequence establishes Edward Norton as the new Bruce Banner in much the same way that Christopher Nolan did with Christian Bale in Batman Begins. And that is a fair comparison, because The Incredible Hulk is great. Not Batman great, but it’s certainly saved the Hulk from ending up in the superhero retirement home alongside Elektra, Ghost Rider and Spider-Man circa three.

Drink Yourself Skinny
No calorie counting, no carb watching. For half a century, meal-replacement shakes have been a no-brainer way to drop pounds. Why? They work
For Rob Nager, the epiphany occurred at Abercrombie & Fitch. He was picking through a stack of cargo pants and asked a clerk if they were available in a 42-inch waist. Dude, the kid sneered, we don make pants that big.
Nager, 38, faced a choice. He could ask the little weasel to step outside, or he could do something about his 250-pound frame. He opted for peace and a new waistline.
He tried Weight Watchers, then Atkins. Both plans helped him slim down, but the flab always returned. Finally, Nager tried a weight-loss strategy thats been around since TVs were black-and-white; a strategy so old-school that one of the studies showing that it works went on for a decade. His throwback approach: meal-replacement beverages MRs, in the weight-loss world. Nager just said no to solid food. Instead, he quaffed shakes in place of meals, eventually ...
How to Have a 1-Night Stand
Heres what I remember about the best one-night stand of my life: everything but his name. He was a bartender-slash-actor who rode a beat-up motorcycle, but I didn find that out until after his jeans came off. It started in a bar. He sat down next to my girlfriend and me -- we were having a giggly girls night out -- stared in the other direction, and didn say a word.
After 10 minutes, he asked if I would watch his stuff while he went outside to make a call. When he came back, he grimaced like De Niro and thanked me very politely. By that point, I was already curious about whom he had called, what was in his faded leather bag, and why he wouldn smile. So I asked if he was having a bad day. Within a couple of hours, we were naked in bed together. And then he was gone.
To this day, I have to admire how smooth he was, because great one-night stands are tough to pull off. Plenty can go wrong between the first long look and the next-day e-mail. This is what you need to know to do ...
Jones never worried about Jets' flirtation with McFadden
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. -- Thomas Jones heard all the talk and refused to let it bother him.
In the months following the New York Jets dismal 4-12 season, many fans and members of the media insisted running back Darren McFadden would be a perfect fit for a team needing a big-time playmaker.
Honestly, I never was concerned about it, the Jets starting running back said tersely.

New York Jets
2007 Statistics:
Rushes: 310

The Money Talk
Any relationship that makes it past the initial stages has to deal with one very sensitive issue and that issue is money. The tricky thing with money is that everybody has peculiarities about what it means and what it does to him/her. Every person tends to have money baggage depending on how their parents raised them and how much money is in their past, but also how they currently handle their cash and what they think their financial future will look like.
Money talk can become a necessity at different points in a relationship. If the two of you are planning a vacation together, buying major appliances together or if you’ve been arguing over the issue, the subject should definitely be breached. The only thing to remember is that when the money talk does come up, deal with it right away instead of putting it off. Any procrastination could lead to feelings of resentment or guilt toward you or your partner.
The dreaded money talk is such a sensitive issue -- even if both parties are ...

Player Etiquette
There are some lessons men can learn that will instantly improve their chances; here are a few techniques on Player etiquette that will show her you’re a class act.
Bad habits
Chewing your nails, picking your teeth, picking your nose, smoking -- it happens all the time, and I’ve seen more guys do it involuntarily than a Player should. Displaying your bad habits when you’re picking up a woman is going to instantly kill your game; your little nuances are as glaring as the skin flakes on your shirt. Really, is that appropriate? I think not.
A Player has to be prudent about the little things he does.
