RANGERS WIN GAME 3, 1ST TROPICAL SYSTEM OF THE YEAR

The New York Rangers beat the New Jersey Devils 3-0 yesterday afternoon to take a 2-1 series lead.  The game was tied 0-0 before the Rangers scored 2 quick goals in the 3rd and added a empty net goal to close the game out.  This afternoon the L.A. Kings will try to finish off Phoenix and advance to Stanley Cup Finals, the Kings lead the series 3-0.  The Virginia baseball team lost in the bottom of the 9th inning yesterday at Maryland 6-5, the Cavs will now get ready for next weeks ACC tournament.  Speaking of tournaments the Colonial Heights baseball team will face Dinwiddie Tuesday at 5pm at Matoaca High School.  Jimmie Johnson won last nights Nascar All-Star race and it wasn't the finish Nascar was hoping for, Johnson dominated the final 10 lap segment to pick up win.  We will have our 1st tropical system of the year and it's off the South Carolina coast right now and it's name is Tropical Storm Alberto but it looks like it is going to stay out in the Atlantic.  My head has been pretty much stopped up all week and also got stung by a wasp as well, I am hoping next week will be better.  MICKEY

Weight gain Diet soda drinking correlates with both increased waist circumference and a heightened body mass index. What's up? One possible explanation is that diet soda disrupts our ability to feel full. Scientists have found that, at least in rats, having something artificially sweetened before a meal leads to greater food consumption at chow time. In general, sweet tasting foods and drinks appear to increase our appetite.
