Panthers’ Cam Newton ready for spring, summer workouts

By The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Quarterback Cam Newton says he’s healthy and “can’t wait” to participate in spring and summer workouts for the Carolina Panthers.

Newton missed almost all of last year’s offseason’s workouts following left ankle surgery in March of 2014. He says Panthers trainer Ryan Vermillion recently sent him photos of the injury from a year ago that “put things in perspective for me.”

An excited Newton spoke to reporters during a break from his annual Cam Newton Foundation School Pride Day, which drew 800 students and administrators from Charlotte area schools to Memorial Stadium.

Newton says he will miss some workouts in the coming weeks while finishing his degree at Auburn. The two-time Pro Bowl quarterback says he hasn’t decided if he’ll walk with his class at the graduation ceremony.

Woman gets other drivers’ speed cam tickets — again and again

By WTOP Staff
WASHINGTON - Miriam Singer's license plate reads "MS" and nothing more. The letters are her initials. But ABC 7 reports Singer -- an 87-year-old Baltimore resident -- has received D.C. speed camera tickets for license plates reading "MS ALF," "MS G" and "MS MAD" in the past four months -- even though she said she hasn't even driven in the District. ABC 7 says speed camera tickets are supposed to be reviewed by a person before being issued. Buel Young, spokesman for the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, said it's up to police to double-check every ticket for accuracy before it's sent out. The tickets since have been voided by the Metropolitan Police Department, ABC 7 says. MPD spokeswoman Gwen Crump attributed the mistake to human error. Crump also said some Maryland tags require special handling. Young said he wasn't sure what Crump meant by that. See more from ABC 7 below: WTOP's Ari Ashe contributed to this report.
