KEITH WILL WIN THIS YEARS CONTEST, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN

Well after yesterdays bowl results it is now official Keith will win this years contest, Lee made a good run to the top but his run ended yesterday and there is no mathematically way he can win. Also there is no way Scottie can finish any better than 16th, he is stuck there. The big battle looks to be from about 4th place all the way back to 12th place. I will officially claim Keith the winner of the contest after the all the games have been played. The VCU Rams picked up there first CAA win of the year yesterday knocking off UNC Wilmington 91-57, the Rams never trailed in this one. Today is part time blogger Marilyn's birthday, I don't know old she is but HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARILYN. The Green Bay Packers will finish out there season today on the road against the Arizona Cardinals and there is a chance they will meet again in the playoffs next week as well. The Redskins season will mercifully come to an end later today at San Diego, it has been a long frustrating season for the Skins. It is so cold here in CH that I almost forgot to mention that it is a very cold 17.7 here this morning. MICKEY

Dates are rich in the element fluorine -- a component of fluoride, that enamel-friendly compound that can actually help reverse early tooth decay. Dates also provide your body with fiber and important nutrients like vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. Know any other sweet treats that boast such big nutritional benefits?

While you're grabbing yourself a handful of dates, here are a few other bites that may double as tooth protectors:

Master the broiler.
Think of a broiler as an inverted grill, ready to bring serious, concentrated heat to whatever food you place below it. Chicken breasts, pork chops, and steaks take about 10 minutes to broil; just be sure to flip them midway through the cooking process, as you would when grilling.

“Old friends pass away, new friends appear.
It is just like the days.
An old day passes, a new day arrives.
The important thing is to make it meaningful:
a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.”
