DEVILS STAY ALIVE, LOGANO WINS POLE

The New Jersey Devils beat the L.A. Kings last night 2-1 forcing a game 6 in L.A. on Monday night.  The Devils have really turned up the defense the last two games and are playing like they did against the Rangers.  The Kings need to win tomorrow night or they could be in some serious trouble heading back to New Jersey for a game 7.  Joey Logano captured the pole for this weekends Nascar race at Pocono edging out Carl Edwards for the top spot, by the way they have changed both Pocono race to 400 miles instead of 500.  In the NCAA baseball Super Regionals both UCLA and Arizona have punched there ticket to this years College Baseball World Series, the rest of the 8 team field will be set over the next 2 days and I have to say the 2 teams I will be rooting for will be Kent State and Stony Brook.  I ran outside yesterday morning and I pretty much paid for the rest of the day, just too much pollen out there.  MICKEY

Hugs Are Good for the Heart

Could a hug a day keep the doctor away? When you partake in a warm embrace with someone you love (like a parent, child, or spouse), your body releases oxytocin, the feel-good hormone, which has the power to reduce stresshormones and lower blood pressure, according to research from the University of North Carolina.
