VIRGINIA PLAYS LIKE THE CAVALIERS OF OLD

The Virginia Cavaliers basketball team played like the Cavaliers of old last night falling to Maryland 85-66. Maryland just had there way Cavs the entire game, the Terps lead by 18 at the half and continued to extended there lead in the 2nd half. The Cavs need to get over this loss quickly because they are back in action tomorrow night at home against Florida State. The VCU Rams look to get of there snide tonight when they play host to the Drexel Dragons, the Rams are now in 6th place. The Colonial Heights girls basketball team will face Petersburg tonight in Central District Tournament, if the boys won last night they will be in action as well, however no score was reported in the paper so I don't know what they did. Although it's going to cool through Sunday it doesn't look like we will see any precipitation during that period which is fine with me. MICKEY

Change Your Name
People with "positive" initials—ones that spell out things like J.O.Y. or W.O.W.—live nearly 4 1/2 years longer than people with neutral initials. D.U.D.'s and A.S.S.'s live nearly 3 years less. Other initials that may shorten life: I.L.L. and D.E.D.

How much you complain -- or don't. Women, if you don't like how he's handling the vacation plans, or you otherwise think he's all wrong, staying clammed up can cost you. Clamming up makes you four times more likely to die earlier than your peers. But if it's your job that's stressing you, and you complain too much, it can cost your spouse. Guys married to women who come home upset by their work situations (when the upset is disruptive to home life) were nearly three times more likely to develop coronary heart disease than their peers were. If you can't find a way to change things or to get better at coping with these situations, then at least make sure you do everything else to keep your health in top shape.

The cruelest lies are often told in silence.
