RANGERS LOSE, VIRGINIA WINS


The New York Rangers fell to the Philadelphia Flyers yesterday 2-1 in a shootout, with the loss the Rangers season has come to an end. I guess I will be rooting for the Capitals now who will face Montreal in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Virginia Cavalier baseball team beat Georgia Tech yesterday 9-1 and with the win take 2 out of 3 from the Yellow Jackets, next week the Cavs will be back at home against a very pesky Virginia Tech team. Speaking of baseball the Colonials baseball team will have another very busy week with games Tuesday and Thursday at home and on the road on Friday. The weather looks pretty good for the most part with high in the 60 to lower 70's all week, there is a slight chance a rain Tuesday night. MICKEY

Carrots
This crunchy snack is loaded with vitamin A, which helps balance the pH of your skin's surface, making it just acidic enough to fend off harmful bacteria. Plus National Cancer Institute researchers found that people with the highest intakes of carotenoids—pigments that occur naturally in carrots—were six times less likely to develop skin cancer than those with the lower intakes.
