Buccaneers throttling the Seahawks

Yep, we all saw this coming.

Of course the winless, listless Buccaneers are beating the 7-1 Seahawks 21-0 just before halftime.

Of course they got touchdown passes from Mike Glennon to Tim Wright and Tiquan Underwood, before running back Mike James threw a jump pass touchdown to tight end Tom Crabtree.

Of course the Seahawks are turning it over, and their fans are being quiet.

Of course.

The Seahawks can obviously still get back in it. Teams don’t get to be 0-7 by accident, and the Buccaneers are still making very un-Schiano-like mistakes (like being offside on a surprise onside kick). 

But the Seahawks are making as many errors, and don’t have an apparent trusted target for Russell Wilson in the passing game.

Is it time to shut the only women's prison in Israel?

Ninetypercent of the inmates at Neve Tirza were sexually abused as children and there is a recidivism rate of 70 percent. 

Haaretz visits the jail to see if rehabilitation is possible there.

Only last year, at age 30, did D. begin to understand the pieces that make up the puzzle of her life. 

She was recently discharged from the NeveTirza prison and is presently living in a rehabilitative hostel for former female prisoners. 

There is nothing she would like more than to be photographed, with her name in the caption, stand before you and point to the guilty parties: her parents and her brother, who live...

Edmonton Oilers' disaster continues in crushing defeat to Detroit Red Wings

DarrenHelm was just happy to be on the ice again. Scoring the winning goal was a plus.

Helm scored in his first game of the season and just his third game since March 2012 due to a myriad of injury woes as the Detroit Red Wings won their third straight game in four nights, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 5-0 on Saturday.

“It was the icing on top of the cake, really,” Helm said of his goal. “The relief came after the game, knowing that I could still play. The goal was just a nice addition to that. I was really excited. It was one of the nicest moments I have had in a while, since this injury bug started. I was pretty nervous. I was pretty anxious and eager to get out there.”

Detroit head coach Mike Babcock was happy to see Helm on the bench again.

NBA Tip-Off: 6 Business Stories To Watch This Season

The NBA season gets started Tuesday night with a trio of games highlighted by a clash between the Derrick Rose-led Chicago Bulls and the two-time defending champion Miami Heat.

 Las Vegas has the Heat favored to win a third straight title with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers and Bulls among the next set of favorites. The NBA has been on a roll in recent years thanks to a bevy of stars, success by big market franchises and the international appeal of the game.

 Total revenues for the league were expected to approach a record $5 billion last season. Here are the business stories we are tracking this season.

The four-time MVP is story 1a, 1b and 1c in today’s NBA. We have not seen the focus on one player in the NBA since Michael Jordan hung up his high tops for a second time in 1998 after his second three-peat with the Bulls. ESPN The Magazine devoted its entire NBA preview issue to all-things LeBron and it is hard to blame them.

 The immediate questions are whether James can lead the Heat to another title and win a fifth MVP (the record is six by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, while Jordan and Bill Russell each won five).

The bigger long-term question is where James will be playing next year. He is expected to exercise his early termination option in his contract to make him a free agent in the summer of 2014, setting up The Decision 2.0. 

Three years after James’ departure from Cleveland, the franchise value of the Cavaliers is down 9% and the value of the Heat is up 71%. James said he will not address his free agency during the season, but the Heat, followed by the Cavs are expected to be the leaders in the race for his services.

Magic Johnson says Lakers fans are 'spoiled,' 'tough season' ahead

Los Angeles Lakers fans are spoiled. Even the greatest Laker ever Magic Johnson believes this to be true. But that's not a pejorative way of classifying Lakers fans by any means. They've rooted for a team that has experienced nearly unparalleled success over their time in Los Angeles since coming over from Minneapolis in 1960.

They've won 11 championships since moving to LA and have rarely had rosters that didn't include some of the best and most exciting players in the NBA. Because of this consistency of talent, competitiveness, and excitement, it's easy to say Lakers fans may have a spoiled basketball experience than a lot of other fan bases.

Magic Johnson stated this during a radio interview on Tuesday before the Lakers opening night victory, saying the fans were in for a tough season ahead of them. With Kobe Bryant still waiting to come back from his Achilles' injury and an older veteran core that's supposed to drive the team to success, it makes sense that Lakers fans should probably brace for the worst.

Jonas Brothers: It's over for now

It looks like that "deep rift" among the Jonas Brothers has led to a breakup.

The boy band, which recently canceled a planned 19-show national tour following a disagreement over musical direction, is no longer a group.

"It's over for now," Kevin Jonas, 25, told People magazine, which first reported the news. His brother Joe, 24, called it a "unanimous decision.

The three decided to go their separate ways after Nick Jonas, 21, spoke up during an October 3 meeting, according to the magazine.

"I was feeling kind of trapped," Nick said. "I needed to share my heart with my brothers."

The Jonas Brothers skyrocketed to fame through the Disney Channel's "Camp Rock" movie series. They signed with Disney's Hollywood Records label in 2007, and their albums -- including solo projects -- have sold 20 million copies worldwide.

But in recent years, each brother has broken out with his own projects: Kevin and his wife, Danielle, have a reality show on E! and are expecting their first child. Joe has gone in a more adult direction with his music career, and both he and his brother Nick have released solo albums and expanded into acting.

No purity ring for this Jonas in new video

Rumblings that the band was in a pretty bad spot have grown louder over the past few weeks after a spokesman confirmed there was "a deeprift" within the pop group.

On October 17, their official Twitter account was deactivated, and Joe Jonas asked fans via his personal account on October 22 to "please hold while we get our s*** together."

The three worked together on new music earlier this year, releasing singles "Pom Poms" and "First Time," but one industry insider told People it could be "the beginning of the end."
