NOT A GOOD NIGHT FOR THE COLONIALS, VIRGINIA ROLLS

In fact, you can learn vocabulary words 20% faster if you try to memorize them after doing an intense workout rather than a low-impact activity, suggests a study in the journal Neurobiology of Learning and Memory. Up the ante even more by taking a dance or kickboxing class—anything that requires you to remember a routine.

Eat toast for breakfast
Skipping carbs may harm your memory. A Tufts University study found that folks who eliminated carbohydrates from their diets performed worse on memory-based tasks than those who included them. Why? Your brain cells need carbs, which are converted in your body to glucose, to stay in peak form, says study co-author Robin Kanarek, PhD, professor of psychology at Tufts.

COLONIALS WIN 11-3, VIRGINIA RAINED OUT

The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team picked up a 11-3 victory over Hopewell last night at Shepherd Stadium.  I have to say it wasn't one of out better games at the plate and we played a bit sloppy at times in field as well.  We are going to have to play much better tomorrow night against Dinwiddie if we want to win, speaking of Dinwiddie they beat Prince George last night 3-2 in 14 innings.  The Virginia vs VCU game last night was rained out after a few innings and will not be made up, the Cavs will travel to Boston College this weekend to face the Eagles.  My allergies are continuing to bother me quite a bit and left shoulder still is hurting as well and I now have a splinter in my right hand as well.  Well I am off to work.  MICKEY

The Colonial Heights Colonials baseball team held on for a 13-9 win last night against Prince George last night at Shepherd Stadium.  The jumped out to quick 4-0 lead in the 1st inning only to have Prince George tie the game back up at 4-4 before the Colonials went up 12-4 and held on.  The Colonials used 5 different pitchers in the win and got 3 double plays at very key times in the game.  The problems with our pitchers again last night was walks again, after only walking 2 guys the last 2 games we had 11 free passes last night.  I have to say that you don't win many games walking 11 guys.  The Colonials will be back in action tonight at home at 6pm against Hopewell, the Colonials are now 8-4 overall and 3-1 in the Central District.  The Virginia baseball team will be back in action tonight at home against VCU, the Cavs remain #1 or #2 in all the college baseball polls.  My allergies are continuing to bother me, my eyes are itching and my right ear remains pretty clogged up.  MICKEY

Onions
Onions get a bad rap for their effect on breath, but that's not the only part of the body where they pack a wallop. Onions contain potent cancer-fighting enzymes; onion consumption has been shown to help lower the risk of prostate and esophageal cancers and has also been linked to reduced mortality from coronary heart disease. Research suggests that they may help protect against stomach cancer. Onions contain sulfides that help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as a peptide that may help prevent bone loss by inhibiting the loss of calcium and other bone minerals.

Cherries
Cherries boast a laundry list of healing powers. For starters, they pack a powerful nutritional punch for a relatively low calorie count. They're also packed with substances that help fight inflammation and cancer. As if that weren't enough, in lab studies, quercetin and ellagic acid, two compounds contained in cherries, have been shown to inhibit the growth of tumors and even cause cancer cells to commit suicide -- without damaging healthy cells. Cherries also have antiviral and antibacterial properties.

COLONIALS LOSE 6-4

It was another very frustrating loss for the Colonials baseball team last night at Shepherd Stadium falling to the Henrico Warriors 6-4.  I have to say you are not going to win many games when you walk 11 guys and don't hit the ball in key situations.  For some reason over the last few games we are beating ourselves and thats whats frustrating to me, sometimes you have to want it more than the other team.  In the other games yesterday Hopewell beat Varina, Monacan beat Prince George and Dinwiddie beat Clover Hill.  The Colonials will face Varina tonight at 7pm.  The Virginia baseball team will be on the road tonight at Radford to face the Highlanders before returning home tomorrow night to face the Richmond Spiders.  It looks like the weather will nice again tonight so if you don't have anything else to do come on out to the ball game.  MICKEY
