Father arrested in Japan had asked for court help

TOKYO — An American father was arrested in Japan after snatching his children from his ex-wife, who had taken the kids to her native country without telling him.

The back-and-forth exposes a simmering diplomatic dispute over Japan's traditional favoritism toward mothers in custody battles. While the father was apprehended by Japanese authorities, a U.S. court has issued an arrest warrant for the mother.

Christopher Savoie grabbed his two children – an 8-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl – while they were walking to school on Monday, forcing them into a car and driving away, Akira Naraki, a police spokesman in the southern city of Fukuoka, said Wednesday.

His former wife, Noriko, then called the police. Savoie, a 38-year-old technology executive from Franklin, Tennessee, was arrested just as he was about to enter the U.S. Consulate in Fukuoka with his children, said Tracy Taylor, a spokeswoman at the consulate.

Savoie is chief executive officer of Franklin-based Tazzle Inc. Tazzle makes data sharing devices for BlackBerry mobile phones and has an office in Tokyo that looks after manufacturing in Asia, according to the company's Web site.

Ex-NFL players report higher rates of dementia

NEW YORK — A new study suggests retired National Football League players may have a high rate of Alzheimer's disease or other memory problems.

The telephone survey asked if the retirees had ever been diagnosed with dementia, Alzheimer's disease or other memory-related disease. Nearly 2 percent of the former players ages 30 to 49 said yes. That's 19 times the rate for the same age group in the general population.

For retirees over 50, the rate was about five times higher.

Lead author David Weir emphasized the results don't show football causes memory problems, only that the risk is worth studying. The study of more than 1,000 ex-players was performed by the University of Michigan at the request of the NFL and its Player Care Foundation.

Ex-player claims Titans kept knee problem secret

A former Tennessee Titans player claims the team failed to tell him about a defect in his knee that led to injury and eventually ended his career.

Former wide receiver David Givens makes the claims in a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Givens claims a doctor discovered a defect in his knee during a physical around the time his contract was being negotiated in March 2006. He claims the examining doctor told team officials he "may need surgery at some point."

But Givens claims he was "kept in the dark about his condition" and urged to keep playing by team officials.

Givens hurt the knee in a game later that year. He has not played professionally since.
