VIRGINIA LOSES AGAIN, YANKEES TAKE GAME 3

As much as I hate to see a coach get fired I think yesterdays 28-17 loss to Duke has just about ended Al Groh's days at Virginia. The question is where will the administration go to find Virginia's new coach and right there is a question does anybody want the job. All I know in the last 4 years that I have been going to the games I have never seen so many empty seats there and that is not good for the program. Hopefully it's not to late but I think some people who give lots of money to the football program have already pulled out. I don't see them winning another game this year. The New York Yankees beat the Phillies last night 8-5 to take a 2-1 series lead, they will play game 4 tonight in Philadelphia weather permitting, I think tonights game is a must win game for the Phillies. The Green Bay Packers have big game at home today with the Minnesota Vikings, a Packers win would tie them with Minnesota for 1st place in the NFC North. It also mark the return of Brett Favre to Green Bay for the 1st time since the Packers decided they didn't want him anymore. Even though Julianne didn't have a good week in our college football pick em contest she still has a pretty big lead over Andrew who is now in 2nd place. The will start by points standings today at Talladega after qualifying was rained out. MICKEY

Energy Zapper #6: Eating Too Much at Once
Consuming a big meal is always something that will cause a dip in energy later, but that effect is most noticeable in the afternoon because the slump happens at that reach-for-coffee-or-sugar hour: 3 p.m. Here's what happens: You fill up on a carb- and calorie-rich lunch and, as nutrients are absorbed by your body, excess glucose is dumped into your bloodstream, and your body releases insulin to process all that sugar. "A better idea is to spread out what and how you eat throughout the day to keep energy levels steady," says Gloria Tsang, RD, founder of the nutrition website HealthCastle.com.

Energy Fix
Eat every four hours, instead of the usual six. To reform lunch, "try to brownbag more often than eating out," says Tsang. It's a fact that if you buy takeout or dine in a restaurant, you're likely to eat more. Four hours after lunch, have a snack. If you're going to eat dinner a couple of hours later, keep the snack small, such as half a turkey sandwich, or a yogurt and some crackers. Other ideas: Drink liquids (water, tea) all day. "Dehydration makes you tired, too," says Tsang. If you usually have coffee right after lunch, try it a little later in the afternoon and make it a latte. The caffeine's an obvious pick-me-up, but the little bit of fat and protein in the milk gives you a snack-like boost. (Increase your energy with a smarter lunch.)
