Iowa’s May Struggles with Back Spasms

Sports

March 7th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa coach Fran McCaffery acknowledges that junior forward Eric May hasn’t been himself lately because of back spasms. May, a former starter for the Hawkeyes, hasn’t played more than 10 minutes since early last month because of back trouble. McCaffery says May isn’t doing “great,” adding that the explosiveness that marked his game has been lacking. McCaffery says he appreciates May’s effort over the past month, adding he’s been a terrific competitor. May will likely play sparingly when Iowa faces Illinois Thursday in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. You can hear the game on KJAN beginning at 9:30-a.m., Thursday.

USDA begins tweeting food recall alerts

Ag/Outdoor, News

March 7th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Anyone with a Twitter account can now be among the first to know about food recalls with a new service the Department of Agriculture is rolling out. The USDA says state-specific food safety alerts for meat, poultry, and processed egg products are included as well as information on how to protect food during severe weather events. Up until now recalls have been announced in news releases and on a general USDA Twitter feed. The agency’s Food Safety and Inspection Service says state feeds will better provide information directly to people affected by recalls. Food recalls often involve specific states where food was distributed. The alerts can be followed by listing your state’s two-letter designation followed by underscore then FSISAlert. Iowa for example is IA_FSISALERT and Nebraska is NE_FSISALERT.

Chiefs Release LB Demorrio Williams

Sports

March 7th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs released veteran linebacker Demorrio Williams on Tuesday, saving the franchise about $2 million in salary cap space before the start of free agency. The 31-year-old Williams joined the Chiefs in 2008 after four seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, and eventually became the starter ahead of Derrick Johnson. But he’s been used primarily on special teams the past few seasons as Johnson emerged as a Pro Bowl middle linebacker. Williams has started 65 of 124 career games, including 22 starts over the past four years in Kansas City. He made 237 tackles (155) solo with the Chiefs. Playing time would have been tight for Williams next season.

Johnson is signed through 2015, and is coming off the best year of his career, setting a franchise record with 179 tackles. He also had two interceptions and two sacks. Jovan Belcher, a restricted free agent, is coming off a breakout season in which he finished second on the team in tackles. Kansas City also has signed Brandon Siler, who missed all of last season after tearing his Achilles in training camp, to a one-year extension. Kansas City has more pressing needs in the April draft, particularly the offensive and defensive lines. But the Chiefs may also target a linebacker in the later rounds who can supply the same kind of depth and special teams ability as Williams at a fraction of the cost.
