VCU ADVANCES, VIRGINIA FALLS AGAIN

The VCU Rams knocked of the George Mason Patriots 75-60 in CAA Tournament action yesterday at the Richmond Coliseum, with the win the Rams advance to todays semifinals where they will face Old Dominion. After watching portions of yesterdays game on TV I think the Rmas have a good shot of beating Old Dominion today. The Virginia basketball team woes continued yesterday falling to Maryland 74-68, the Cavs have just run out of steam. The Virginia baseball team bounced back from Fridays loss to Wright State by pounding Dartmouth 14-3, the Cavs will face Dartmouth & Wright Sate again today. The Nascar Sprint Cup Series will be down in Scott's neck of the woods today at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, I am going out on a limb and say that Jimmie Johnson will win again today. I am hoping that the temp will warm up fast this morning so I can run outside this morning, it is suppose to get into the lower 60's today but it is 27 as a type todays entry. MICKEY

Alpha Males Use Omega-3 Fats
Each year, we learn more about the health benefits of omega-3 polyunsaturated fats, which are found in fish, nuts, seeds, and flaxseed and fish oils. (And also in the cool, orange-flavored supplement Coromega, available at iherb.com.)

These health benefits—less risk of heart disease and diabetes, for example—are great on their own. But omega-3 fats contribute to a better physique as well. For example, omega-3s reduce inflammation throughout your body. That not only prevents heart attacks (inflammation in the tissues surrounding blood vessels is a major cause) but also helps your muscles recover faster from workouts.

Bigger, less-inflamed muscles mean a faster metabolism, and speeding up your metabolism is crucial when you're trying to get lean. If you don't eat fish twice a week and can't stomach fish-oil supplements, try eggs high in omega-3s, which are found in the dairy case, next to the regular eggs. You can eat four of them a day without any negative effect on your cholesterol levels.

The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn. Ralph Waldo Emerson
