VIRGINIA LOOKS TO PICK UP ANOTHER WIN, A TOUGH NIGHT FOR THE COLONIALS

The Virginia Cavalier football team looks to pick up another win today when it plays host to the Miami Hurricanes today in Charlottesville. I think it will be a closer game than many people think but the Hurricanes will still come out on top. Last night in high school football action the Colonials had a tough time with size of the Thomas Dale Knights falling 42-0, the Colonials return home next Friday night when play host to the Petersburg Crimson Wave. Down in Georgia last night it was another tough night for the Eagles of Crawford County as the fell to Monticello 41-18 and at the beach Hertford County beat First Flight 30-14 while Manteo upset Plymouth 20-14. The Texas Rangers face a must win situation tonight against the Giants in the World Series, if the Rangers lose this game I am afraid it will be all over but the crying. Well I think I might do a little more Christmas shopping this morning before the college football games start. MICKEY

Exercise
How it helps: Research has shown that moderate exercise—30 to 90 minutes most days of the week—increases immune function and reduces your chances of catching a cold. Key word: moderate. Prolonged high-intensity exercise can actually make you more susceptible to sickness, according to research from Appalachian State University, in Boone, North Carolina.

Good to know: Don’t swear off workouts if you do get a simple head cold. A 2009 study at the University of Illinois found that moderate exercise can also help you recover from a cold more quickly than normal.
