LONDON (AP) ? One Direction's latest single sums it up: "Live While We're Young."

The members of the British pop group say they are happy to have that first track off their second album as a motto ? and admit they're making the most of being young, successful and popular.

"We're working a lot, so when we're not, it's nice to have fun and enjoy yourself," singer Harry Styles, 18, said in an interview Wednesday. "It's important."

He was accompanied by band mates Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne ? and they're all quick to laugh at themselves and each other.

These five names are known around the globe since their debut album, "Up All Night," became a No. 1 smash worldwide earlier this year.

So who they date and where they go is heavily reported, especially by the British press. But Tomlinson, 20, says they don't mind being trailed by the paparazzi.

"If we go out on a night out and we're a little bit drunk, it's not obviously going to be a great picture, but it's not too bad," he said. "The fact is we're young ? everyone who is our age is going out."

Tomlinson added that "everyone complains about paps (paparazzi), but we always have a laugh with them, to be honest."

They enjoyed shooting the video for the single "Live While We're Young," which is out in the U.K. on Sept. 30.

Fans were quick to chat about the bare-chested scenes that Horan did but he shrugged off the sex idol comments, saying he was just warm, not showing off.

And the band members had a laugh and worked up a sweat trying zorbing ? running around in giant plastic balls like hamsters.

If there's anything controversial about the sound of their feel-good new single, it's that the start of the song is similar to The Clash's "Should I Stay Or Should I Go."

"It's a bit like the first single ("What Makes You Beautiful") where the opening riff sounds similar to a certain film ("Summer Nights" from "Grease")," explains Styles. "It's kind of on purpose though, it's a great riff."

Their sophomore album, "Take Me Home," will be released Nov. 12 and 13 in the U.K. and the United States.

Despite joking that they've got rapping and choirs involved this time around, the guys admit that fans can expect more of their same catchy pop style.

"There aren't too many surprises," Styles said. "We're just really happy with how the album's come out. We all agree that it's better than the first one ... we're proud of it."

"In the least arrogant way," Tomlinson made sure to add.

He then pondered why.

"We're a better band. We're closer as friends, we've got better vocally, it's all experience," he said.

Get Healthy & Fit Series: Week 3 - Motherhood on a Dime

Remember when I started this Get Healthy & Fit Series with 18 other bloggers two weeks ago?

Yes?well, vacation happened!

Exercise didn?t happen.

Eating right didn?t happen 1/2 of the time.

Weight loss didn?t happen.

BUT?

I am very happy to report that I didn?t gain anything (there was lots of delicious food on our vacation), and I also was able to do some research on a gluten-free, dairy-free diet per my doctor?s recommendations during the last few weeks.

Due to that, I?m switching up my diet plan just a little bit. ?I?ve been researching and reading about the Paleo diet on the internet, but I was steered toward the book?Practical Paleo by my friend Andrea at Savings Lifestyle. ?It?s amazing (and I?ve already tried three of the recipes)!! ?I felt so much better when I wasn?t eating any grains during the summer, so I think this will be a perfect fit for me. ?I?m also reading Inflammation Syndrome?by Jack Challem.

We returned home from vacation last Wednesday, so I decided to start the eating plan on Friday. ?I also did my first P90X2?work-out in two weeks today. ?Hopefully, I?ll have made more progress by the time I post again next Monday!

Here are my updated goals:

The Goals:

1) ?Lose 10 pounds.

2) ?Work-out 4-5 times per week.

I have about five more weeks of?P90X2. ?Then, I?ll scale back a little and do some jogging and weight lifting (with Jillian Michaels? videos).

3) ?Follow a Paleo-type diet and utilize?Practical Paleo?to guide me in it.

?

Each Monday for the next twelve weeks, I?ll be sharing my progress. ?You can also follow along with all of the other bloggers, too! ?Check them out over at the?Get Healthy & Fit page at Sidetracked Sarah!

It is it safe to upgrade my ipad 2 w/ios5.1.1 to ios6 ?

I had no problems whatsoever. But be smart about updating and be proactive. Whether you update OTA via WiFi or use iTunes - take the steps necessary to ensure that you will have everything saved.

?

What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.

?

However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.

?

If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

?

Transfer purchases.

Giants run over Panthers

Short-handed NY has no problem in surging to 36-7 victory

Eli Manning celebrates after a touchdown during the Giants' 23-0 victory over the Panthers on Thursday.

By AARON BEARD

updated 1:34 a.m. ET Sept. 21, 2012

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Eli Manning didn't need a fourth-quarter comeback Thursday night.

The two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback, running back Andre Brown and the rest of the New York Giants finished off the Carolina Panthers way before that.

Brown ran for a career-high 113 yards and two touchdowns in his first NFL start to help the Giants rout the Panthers 36-7.

Four days after rallying from 14 points down to beat Tampa Bay, the Giants dominated the first half, scoring on their first four possessions to build a 20-0 lead.

The defending champion Giants (2-1) were without three starters but it hardly mattered.

Brown ? waived by five different teams ? including the Panthers ? since coming into the league as a fourth-round draft pick in 2009 ? got his chance Thursday night when Ahmad Bradshaw sat out with a neck injury.

Brown said he thought about getting cut by the Panthers before the game ? and it inspired him.

"I was walking into the stadium and I have to go by the spot where I parked my car," Brown said. "I felt a little fire, no doubt. I'm so happy to come out here. It really humbled me. It really shows that everything is not guaranteed. You know, I'm just going to ride this wave. Hopefully, it's a long wave."

Ramses Barden is hoping to ride that same wave.

Barden caught nine passes for a career-high 138 yards in his first NFL start. He played in place of Hakeem Nicks.

Of course it helps that the guy throwing you the ball is named Manning. He completed 27 of 35 passes for 288 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.

On the other side, second-year quarterback Cam Newton struggled all night and was pressured into three interceptions. The Panthers (1-2) had five turnovers, including two by returner Joe Adams.

Newton had no luck running the read option against the Giants. He was held to 6 yards rushing a week after running for a career-high 71 yards against the Saints.

"We got some licks on him, when he kept the ball, and that's something that was lacking last week," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "You have to be disciplined. You have to have people in the right spots, or he'll take full advantage of it."

Panthers coach Ron Rivera likened the loss to a lesson you learn from your big brother.

"They came in and slapped us around and dragged us to the ground a little bit," Rivera said. "Hopefully, we learn from it a little bit. Hopefully, we learn from it and, hopefully, we don't like it and we come back focused."

Mixing run and pass, the Giants dominated the opening half, outgaining the Panthers 303-125.

Manning completed 19 of 25 passes for 208 yards in the first half, including a 14-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett to cap the Giants' game-opening drive and set the tone. It capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive and marked the third straight game the Panthers have given up a touchdown on an opponent's first drive.

For Rivera and the Panthers the first half was a nightmare.

"When you put yourself in a hole like that it's tough trying to claw and scratch yourself back up," Rivera said. "And that's really what happened. That's the type of game they want you to be in. That's trouble. When you get behind they can cut those guys loose on the pass rush."

Brown repeatedly bounced off tacklers and Barden had little trouble getting open against a Carolina defense that failed to pressure Manning.

Brown ran 13 times for 71 yards and a touchdown last week against Tampa Bay and surpassed that total by the end of the first quarter with 77 yards on seven.

Barden had 123 yards on seven catches at halftime.

Before Thursday night, the fourth-year receiver had never managed more than nine catches for 94 yards receiving in a season.

"At this level, you never know when you're going to get an opportunity, you've got to be prepared for it," Manning said. "Andre Brown is a great example. He's a guy we drafted, he bounced around, and we brought him back. He was on the bubble to make the team, and here you go. Ahmad (Bradshaw) gets hurt, and he ran great, he pass-protected.

"He did get off to a bit of a shaky start. He went left when he was supposed to run right on the first play. We had a little talk and got him settled down, and after that, he did very, very well."

Any hopes that the Panthers would turn things around in the second half were slowed when rookie returner Adams fumbled trying to catch the opening kickoff, resulting in another field goal for Lawrence Tynes.

Tynes finished with five field goals on the night.

The Panthers didn't get on the board until midway through the third quarter when Newton leaped over the pile from a yard out.

Newton said it wasn't what the Giants did but what the Panthers didn't do.

"Who wants to supports something that puts on a performance of embarrassment out there, and that's what that was," Newton said. "If I was a fan of the Carolina Panthers I would be holding my head down in shame at the product that was out there."

Newton said the Panthers problem was execution, not anything the Giants did to stop them.

"We have to fix it," Newton said.

Notes: For the third straight week Carolina receiver Steve Smith sparred with an opposing cornerback during the game. This week's victim was Corey Webster. ... Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart missed his second game of the season because of a toe injury. The Panthers also were without tackle Byron Bell. ... The Panthers honored Olympic gold medal swimmers Cullen Jones and Ricky Berens.

U.S. West should expect bigger wildfires more often: report

SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - A warming trend has contributed to a sharp rise in the number and size of wildfires on forest lands in the U.S. West, where big burns are likely to become the norm, according to a report released on Tuesday by a climate research group.

The average annual number of fires that cover more than 1,000 acres has nearly quadrupled in Arizona and Idaho and doubled in California, Colorado and six other Western states since 1970, the study by Climate Central showed.

The report, which analyzed 42 years of records about fires on U.S. Forest Service lands in 11 Western states, linked rising spring and summer temperatures in the region to a fire season that begins earlier, ends later and sparks larger, more frequent blazes.

Those include so-called megafires, or blazes that raze upward of 10,000 acres. Those fires erupted at a rate seven times greater each year in the past decade in the western United States than in an average year in the 1970s, according to the report.

The 2012 fire season in the West has claimed several lives, torched hundreds of homes and forced the evacuation of thousands of residents. Record blazes have also been recorded in New Mexico and Oregon.

Conditions contributing to the increase often include fire suppression practices that fostered forests packed with fuel, early melting of mountain snows and fire seasons in the West that now last 10 weeks longer than in the 1970s, the report said.

NEW PHENOMENON

Richard Wiles, director of research for Climate Central - a nonprofit scientific research organization that reports on climate change - said the data showed massive wildfires greater than 100,000 acres do not appear in records before the late 1980s.

"It may be a relatively new phenomenon for national forests," he said.

Steven Running, professor of ecology at the University of Montana, reviewed the report and told Reuters in an interview that Western states should prepare for more of the same.

In addition to lives and property, the fires threaten human health by pumping smoke, containing noxious gases like carbon monoxide and fine particles, into mountain valleys where historic settlements gave way to present-day communities.

"What public health people need to understand is these may be multi-week or even multi-month episodes and what is needed is a longer term plan to address health issues," said Running.

The pollution emitted by the burning of trees and plants can irritate eyes and lungs and worsen chronic heart and lung diseases, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Exposure to smoke from landscape fires causes 339,000 deaths a year worldwide, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, according to a study in May in "Environmental Health Perspectives," a peer-reviewed journal published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Pollution levels from wildfires this year have triggered numerous air quality warnings in parts of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.

In Idaho, health and environmental officials said a weeks-long pollution event in Salmon from a 320,000-acre wildfire just north of the east central Idaho community is unprecedented.

"This is the only time we've seen this and there does not seem to be an end in sight," said Jim Vannoy, program manager for environmental health education and assessment with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

The Balance Scale of Wellness

Recently I had coffee with a friend who just returned fromAfricawhere he went on safari, among other pursuits, and toured the villages that line the roadways in that mostly depressed continent. He was duly impressed by both the poverty of the citizens and the happy mood most displayed when encountered. When he returned home, he said he looked around at what he had in his very comfortably furnished home and wondered aloud about why he needed all he saw. That was more than just an observation, it was a profound declaration. And it made me realize that wellness is more than just what we have that makes us happy. It?s also what we don?t have, or better yet, what we shouldn?t have that is at least as important.

It is an axiom in our society that most people spend in proportion to their income. Happy at $50,000 per year, most feel the need to increase their spending when their income reaches $100,000 per year. That begs the question, what additional purchases have been made that incrementally increase happiness and wellbeing. If we are happy at one level of income, why do we feel the need to spend twice as much when our income doubles? Often it is about keeping up with the Joneses. Or succumbing to the pressures of our children who now want Michael Jordan sneakers at $150 a pair, when earlier, a $25 pair sufficed. This phenomenon isn?t only found in the middle or upper middle class. One need not venture far to see even poor people wearing such outrageous garments when a celebrity attaches their name to the cloth or the shoe. Or consider the diamond ring so expensive it cannot be worn safely in public and instead resides in a safe-deposit box in the local bank. Do we need another, and more expensive, coffee table in the living room? Or a more expensive bed cover with lace borders rather than just plain borders? Or a swimming pool that really doesn?t increase the value of our home much at all? Maybe we think we?re doing it for the children?s future.

Most of us surely want more for our children than we had but is that good for them? Are we becoming a parental set of enablers that teach our children to shop for the most expensive even when we know we, and later on they, cannot afford it? The credit card companies bear an element of responsibility in all this. But that?s another issue. For us, the important idea is balancing what we have with what we shouldn?t have regardless of whether we can afford it or whether we sacrifice to achieve it.

The most obvious financial question becomes what should we do with the excess money if we don?t spend it on increasing satisfaction with increasing income? I wonder if a savings account ever crossed the mind of those whose income just increased. Saving for a time when unemployment rears its ugly head, or saving for disasters in the family over and above that covered by insurance seem a reasonable use of excess funds. Happiness and wellbeing are about enjoying our life with what we have, not with what we can afford.

We are constantly bombarded by advertising to entice us to buy things we heretofore have easily done without. Electronics have led the way. Do we really need an iPhone, iPad, iPod, Android, Blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, or any of the other berries now on, or likely to be on, the market? Some of them increase our security and that of our children and those definitely increase our wellbeing by reducing our anxiety for their safety. But the rest? Not likely.

The balance scale of wellness goes much further than just purchases. It encompasses attitudes, beliefs, arguments, tensions, conflicts, relationships, affairs, feelings. Most of us carry some baggage with us that should have been discarded long ago. And with baggage come tension, and worry, and often deceit. When confronted with issues that have remained hidden for long periods, most people agree that brought out in the open means a release from internal conflicts that have plagued them for decades.

A personal review of those concepts we might have within ourselves will likely determine what we keep and what we should do without. Harboring grudges long beyond their immediate value gain us nothing. Tensions hidden need to be open to the light of reason and then dismissed. There are a myriad of personal issues that fall on the side of the wellness scale requiring riddance forever. Relationships, particularly within families, need mending before death makes them moot. It is likely most of us have looked within ourselves and determined that many issues we harbor should be resolved and gotten rid of. But making it a more formal plan by treating wellness as much of what we shouldn?t have as well as what we ought to have makes resolving them so much easier. While you are creating a wellness atmosphere within your home and yourself, make a list of those wellness issues that you should do without, just as you would for those physical purchases you shouldn?t have made. Make it a sort of spring house cleaning of the mind, the body, our surroundings, our relationships, our fears, our transgressions, even our beliefs.

The balance scale of wellness can enhance one?s feeling of wellbeing. While the Scale of Justice is blind, our Wellness Scale should be out in the open, reviewed regularly, given brutally honest treatment, and maintained in a delicate balance. In our search for wellbeing what we shouldn?t have is as important and relevant as what we should have.
