VIRGINIA FALLS TO FLORIDA STATE, ODU & RICHMOND IN NCAA TOURNEY




The Virginia baseball team lost to Florida State in game 3 of there weekend series 9-8. The Cavs lead 8-7 in the bottom of the 8th before Florida State scored 2 runs on a HR and couldn't rally in 9th to win it. Next up for the Cavaliers are a couple of mid week games between William & Mary and JMU before returning back to ACC play at home next weekend against Boston College. Since Virginia & VCU didn't make they NCAA basketball tournament this I guess I will have to root for the Richmond Spiders & the Old Dominion Monarchs. It's not looking to could to get on the field at Shepherd Stadium today however we may be able to hit in the cage. Well the countdown had begun until our new dog Mozart arrives on Saturday, by looking at all the toys and other materials I think we are ready for the little fellow to get here. MICKEY

Broccoli
One cup of broccoli contains a hearty dose of calcium, as well as manganese, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron. And that's in addition to its high concentration of vitamins—including A, C, and K—and the phytonutrient sulforaphane, which studies at Johns Hopkins University suggest has powerful anticancer properties. "One cup a day will do the trick," says Bowerman. Try cauliflower, kale, brussels sprouts, or cabbage for variation, as all possess many of the same nutritional qualities. "Broccoli may also help reduce excess estrogen levels in the body, thanks to its indole 3-carbinol content," says celebrity trainer Gunnar Petersen.

SPINACH has been shown to contain at least 13 cancer-fighting compounds. It's rich in vitamin K, which helps maintain healthy bones.
