all of a sudden he went into the bathroom and the revelation was something we had been waiting for for 33 years. >> do you feel he confessed to the murder of your sister. >> in my heart of hearts absolutely. he was a note taker and make a list of things to do. since he didn't have pen and paper, he was audibly making a list of things that happened. when he said they got me or words to that effect they got him. you hoping for whatever reason you may get answers, perhaps from mr. durst himself about what happened to your sister? >> i am very hopeful and prayerful. i have a lot of faith in the god that made us all. i believe he will have an epiphany of conscious contrast to the advice of lawyers as he went against his lawyers's wishes when he made the tapes for the jinx. i think he is about ready to

custody and he was not under interrogation and he had a red hot mike on him. >> he said you have to be careful if you are the prosecution and you enter that one small piece of audio, the defense said let's play all the video and that's strong for the defense. >> look you can play the whole audio for that jury. the bottom line is only one person wrote that cadaver note and only one person's handwriting is consistent with it. you have him confirming it verbally and he had motive and opportunity. >> they will prosecute durst on the murder charge and had nothing to do with the jinx the documentary. do you take them at their word? >> i do. l.a. worked very hard and worked with them as da when it happened. they knew this was a case that had to be put together and the timing had to be perfect.

enbrel is clinically proven to provide clearer skin. many people saw 75% clearance in 3 months. and enbrel helped keep skin clearer at 6 months. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis,lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising bleeding, or paleness. finally, clearer skin for more than a few days, weeks or months. enbrel works for me. ask your dermatologist if you can have clearer skin with enbrel

there's only two of us... how much dirt can we manufacture? very little. more than you think. (doorbell) what's that? what's this? swiffer sweeper. i came in under the assumption that it was clean. i've been living in a fool's paradise! now to our special series

kids and sports. and as parents, we know there's a risk our ch children can get injured in any activity. >> but did you know according to the cdc, kids between the ages of 5 and 14 account for 50% of all sports-related injuries in hospitals. so here with advice on how to prevent those injuries is a team division for the new york knicks basketball organization. >> and a sports medicine specialist, both from here in manhattan which frank and cody know very well. >> i can't believe those statistics how young these kids are and the kinds of injuries they're sustaining. what sorts of injuries are these kids experiencing? >> i think it tends to be more sports-specific. in the racket sports like tennis or baseball, more upper extremity injuries. and basketball or soccer, more hyperextension sprains.

>> and what about concussions? >> concussions are very common as well. i think one of the things that's interesting is they've gotten so much attention recently. i think that's a combination probably of them being more common. there's a lot more people participating in sports. there's probably an increased roughness of some of the sports. i think a lot of it is just increased awareness and people are getting diagnosed more. >> but what about the equipment? we hear so much about the fact that -- frank, my husband, played in these kinds of things. and without even a face guard. can these hurt the person as well? >> well, there's a theory that if you're wearing more protection, that you tend to be less cautious. so the theory of the old leather helmet was they weren't hitting with their heads as much. and now that they have more protection, they might not be as cautious. but the let me tell yous fit them well. and especially in the youth athletes, when i was a team physician for a high school football team i'd go around and check some of the people's

helmets. and some were borrowing from someone else and it didn't fit them well. that's the most important, that it fits them well. but it's a combination of factors. >> some kids play one sport and they're so into that one sport and they play it -- so they're using the same parts of their body, i guess you could say. is that unhealthy for kids? should they be playing multiple sports if they have the choice? >> i think in general, the risk with playing one sport is you get overuse injuries because using that joint or doing that activity all the time. and it's important to be involved in a wide range of sports, develop better -- learn to move better and you don't overuse those specific joints for a given sport. >> anything you can do to prevent -- besides quit the sport? some advice for parents to give their kids, do this before you go out and do that? any kind of advice for them, preventative stuff? >> stretching is really important and getting accustomed

to a new activity before you -- that's true for kids and adults. making sure they have a good base before they start a sport. but warming up is really important for injury prevention. >> how would a kid he had a concussion? used to, you had to get knocked out cold. but how would a kid know from a regular football game if he's got one? >> a lot of education is around getting your bell rung is concussion. only 10% of concussions have a loss of consciousness. so the old idea was that a concussion required you to lose consciousness but that's not true. >> how do you know? >> that's tricky because the symptoms evolve over time, too. it's important to evaluate a kid right when they come off the field and they might be a little out of it they might have been -- looked off kilter or unsteady -- sometimes you have to wait and see what evolves with their symptoms. so you want to be cautious. you might keep them out and

recheck them in a few minutes and as the game goes on to determine if they have the concussion or not. >> and with concussions you have to make sure they don't go back too soon. it could exacerbate the problem. >> thanks very much. we've god three words for you -- >> irish stout cupcake. >> and this fine irish lad will show us how to make them. people with type 2 diabetes come from all walks of life. if you have high blood sugar ask your doctor about farxiga. it's a different kind of medicine that works by removing some sugar from your body. along with diet and exercise farxiga helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. with one pill a day, farxiga helps lower your a1c. and, although it's not a weight-loss or blood-pressure drug farxiga may help you lose weight
