USA HOCKEY TEAM TO PLAY FOR THE GOLD MEDAL

Before the Olympics started the United States hockey team wasn't even suppose to win a medal at all and now they will be playing for the Gold tomorrow against Canada in Vancouver tomorrow. The US team beat Finland yesterday 6-1 while Canada beat Slovakia 3-2 to advance the Gold Medal game. The US team will need to play the same type of game they played against Canada last week when they beat them if they want to beat them a 2nd time, they do not want to get in an offensive shootout thats for sure. The Virginia baseball team beat Rhode Island yesterday 13-0, the Cavs will face the Rams again today and tomorrow as well. The VCU Rams will be on the road today at Old Dominion, I am predicting that the Rams will have a tough time down in Norfolk. Kurt Busch won the pole for this weeks Nascar race at Las Vegas, Jeff Gordon qualified 2nd. It looks like we may have a pretty good chance of snow again next week, I am hoping that the weatherman are wrong but things are not looking good. MICKEY

Eggs
The bad rep: A significant source of dietary cholesterol, egg yolks are off-limits for those concerned about heart health.

The good truth: Medical experts now emphasize that saturated fats and trans fats are bigger culprits in raising blood cholesterol than dietary cholesterol is. Plus, eggs are super-satisfying: in one study, people who ate a scrambled-egg-and-toast breakfast felt more satisfied, and ate less at lunch, than they did when they ate a bagel that had the same number of calories. Egg yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin, compounds that research links with reduced risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in people over 50.
