B-CU Track Opens Indoor Season Friday at UAB Blazer Invite
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 01/10/2013
This is the second consecutive season that the Wildcats will make the trip to Birmingham for the UAB meet. B-CU logged nine top-10 finishes last season, highlighted by Ricy Brown's win in the 800m. With the available early season southern venues, B-CU expects to run up against familiar competition, including several squads from MEAC Southern division schools.
"There will be a lot of good competition there," Head Coach Donald Cooper said. "We know what's out there and we're just trying to go out there and make sure we're competitive, and see what direction we need to go to stay competitive."
Typically the Wildcats will be well into their season by this juncture; however, B-CU opted to train through the opening week of competition in December for greater preparation for the season.
"We've been putting in a lot of work, and I'm just looking for some results from that," Cooper said. "The discipline and execution is what I'm looking for."
The men's team returns some talented athletes, including some MEAC upper-tier finishers, but has only grown in strength in the offseason with solid training and new additions.
"We're pretty well-rounded." Cooper said. "The only thing we lack is the long distance."
The men's team is highlighted by the pole vaulting unit led by junior MEAC Champion Akeem Barthol, who hit 4.73m at the B-CU Beach Invitational and won the conference meet with a mark of 4.37m. Joining Barthol is MEAC Runner-Up Pierre Strother, who takes on his sophomore season after hitting a season-high of 4.37 at MEAC.
"I'm expecting even more," Cooper noted. "The conference has gotten a little tougher and more coaches have sought out pole vaulters."
Looking to expand B-CU's control of the event in the conference, the Wildcats vaulters are also joined by Ashton Boston, a transfer from Longwood who shows the potential to match the team leaders.
MEAC outdoor decathlon Champion Martin Embry III returns to action this spring, taking the MEAC title with 6,210 points, along with Nnamdi Davis, the MEAC indoor heptathlon runner-up with 4,555 points. Keron Stoute joins the pair in taking on the multis along with the high jump.
The men's sprinters have also drawn acclaim with big expectations from the staff, topped by two-sport athlete Angelo Cabrera, who turned in a nation-leading time in last season's 60m dash opener, finishing the season ranked 67th nationally with a time of 6.77 seconds.
"This year without the early meet, we got in the extra training," Cooper said. "He's looking real sharp."
Joshua Perkins also returns with a 200m time of 22.82 and 300m time of 35.78. Darnell Washington has shown strides in the offseason, looking to improve upon his 6.83 60m and 22.52 200m times.
Despite the loss of All-MEAC and NCAA Outdoor Championships hurdler Kemar Clarke, who finished 17th nationally last spring, the Wildcats are looking to build on offseason squad acquisitions, with the addition of Tremayne Banks and the return of two-sport athlete D.J. Howard. Banks, a transfer from Virginia Union, logged times of 8.26 in the 60m hurdles and 22.50 in the 200m last indoor season. Having completed his B-CU football career, Howard returns for his final track season, looking to build on a time of 8.04 in the hurdles.
B-CU boasts strong returners in the men's field events and multi-events, including La'Quan Howard in the triple jump (14.64m), Barry Kimbrough in the throws and of course Ricy Brown returning B-CU's presence in the middle distance. Brown finished eighth in the MEAC last year's indoor meet, logging a time of 1:54.63 at last year's UAB meet.
On the women's side, B-CU returns one multi-event MEAC titleholder and record holder and another MEAC Champion record holder, but the staff feels they really an all-around squad in 2013.
"The women cover all areas." Cooper said. "There's a lot of good talent in all the event areas."
Leading the charge is senior distance runner Kadian Dunkley, the 2012 winner of the MEAC indoor 5000m (18:11.99) with a new MEAC record (knocking 24.4 seconds off the mark set by Howard's Ashley Hodges the previous year). Dunkley also finished second in 3000m (10:22.52), with an on-track traffic accident in the mile knocking her from her feet, later affecting her ability to pull away from the field in the 3k. Later last spring, she also won the indoor 5000m (18:33.57), 3000m Steeplechase (11:06.99) and came in fourth in the 1500m (4:45.91).
"This year is going to be a challenge for Kadian. Through recruiting, some other schools have gotten some talented athletes also," Cooper noted. "She's been working very diligently and we're hoping she gets her confidence and retains her championships."
Coming off a minor offseason knee rehab, pole vaulter Sasha Smallwood returns for her sophomore campaign as the defending MEAC indoor record-holder after hitting a mark of 3.49m at the MEAC Indoor Track & Field Championships (3.58m outdoor mark).
"She's back," Cooper said with obvious enthusiasm. "She's looking awesome. Her conditioning level is higher and her confidence is through the roof. She's extremely excited about this first meet and is ready to be back. We expect her to go out and perform well and continue to progress throughout the season."
Building the strength of the squad is freshman Tristie Johnson, a USA Today All-USA athlete who ranked second in the nation among high schoolers in the 200m dash (23.47) and ran the 11th fastest 100m time in the nation (11.60). However, she will need to make the change over the next three months to taking on a banked indoor track. She's expected to make the transition to longer sprints and relays to aid the transition early in the season.
"She's an exceptional athlete," Cooper said. "She's already elevated our current athletes and our sprinters. They've upped their intensity."
Meet results and recaps will be available following the completion of the meet at the Birmingham Crossplex.

Book synopsis
This book is a sequel to the first volume of New International Studies in Applied Ethics and includes essays from some of the same contributors. Like the previous volume, the book explores the interface between medicine and theology. The essays demonstrate the complementarity evident between the two and examine how those coming from different theological traditions are able to provide helpful insights. Points of disagreement, and their crucial role in contributing to an understanding of the complexities of the debate, are acknowledged.
Much of the discussion focuses on use of the Bible. The contributors show an awareness of the pastoral necessity of providing access to new medical technologies for those in need. Out of this emerges a positive view of some of the human benefits of modern medicine and the ways in which Christian theology can engage with it constructively. The discussion throughout is related to the wider literature in the field.

I can not think of another musician who has made such a profound impact on rock music as James Marshall Hendrix, born November 27, 1942.
This November 27th marked what would have been the 70th birthday of the 1969, you know, the original one, Woodstock Music & Art Fair headliner, Jimi Hendrix.
It was 43 years ago that bands such as The Who, Mountain, Crosby Stills and Nash, Johnny Winter, Richie Havens, Santana, Ten Years After, Sha Na Na, and so many more ground breaking musicians crossed that stage and unimagined musical milestones even as the stage itself was sinking into the unyielding mud caused by copious amounts of rainfall all weekend. All weekend.
With the Monday morning mist glistening early, Hendrix took his white '68 Fender Stratocaster to the stage and proceeded to pry open a fresh can of Star Spangled Banner which pushed and pulled, whispered and cried, then exploded like the fury of a hurricane into the tone drenched valley, etching yet another zenith in music history over the rolling fields of the little town upstate, Bethel, NY.
As if a ten thousand watt power tube rocket was pushing him towards the next break though or six string masterpiece, Jimi was here, and gone just as quickly. He left the height of the blues rock explosion smoldering.
He departed as the point man with a churning imagination, insatiable need for discovery, bold experimentation, and musical talent like no other even thought possible in the electric analog world, now long gone.
Jimi remains the bedrock of every rock guitar tone, riff, and phrase we hear today, and forever more. His likes will never be seen or heard again.
Certainly if Jimi were alive today, he would have taken his music to yet another uncharted galaxy, keeping us headphones on, turned up to 11, grooving on the multi faceted virtuosic sounds which would be transcending everything within the next universe and beyond.
Happy 70th Birthday Jimi.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba -- Prosecutors on the Caribbean resort island of Aruba say they want to take Joran van der Sloot up on his offer to discuss the unsolved disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway.
Attorney General Robert Pietersz says judicial authorities in Peru are willing to arrange a conversation between island police and Van der Sloot. The Dutchman is awaiting trial in Peru in the slaying of a 21-year-old woman in his Lima hotel room.
Van der Sloot told his jailers he is ready to clarify the Holloway case, but only to Aruba authorities. He is the only remaining suspect in the 2005 disappearance.
Pietersz said Wednesday that authorities on the Dutch island are dedicated to finding the truth about Holloway.

Talk about cozy seatmates! After performing on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2012 in the Big Apple, Justin Bieber hopped a flight from Newark, N.J., back to Los Angeles along with girlfriend Selena Gomez. Although the two each had their own first class seats, Gomez sat in Bieber's lap prior to takeoff. The two were smiling and laughing with each other, and even joking with fellow passengers who boarded the plane. – Gabrielle Olya
Now that's a busy day! Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez slowed down for a leisurely dinner with friends at Bourbon Steak restaurant inside Washington D.C.'s Four Seasons Hotel. The couple, who just returned from Mexico, shared roasted organic chicken, black truffle mac and cheese and roasted baby eggplant with their friends. But they showed up a bit late for their reservation and had to wait for their table to be ready. During his D.C. trip, the pop star also visited the Children's National Medical Center, rehearsed for an upcoming TV special and squeezed in a hockey game with friends.
– Helin Jung
Before heading back to the Big Apple for the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting, Justin Bieber unwound with a snowboarding lesson at Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah. After his lesson, the teen star was spotted skiing a bit and also walking around town with girlfriend Selena Gomez – Jennifer Garcia
After being on tour with a band full of boys, Selena Gomez was ready for some "girl time," a source tells us. Her solution? She got her hair styled at Nine Zero One Salon in West Hollywood. The singer specifically opted for Great Length hair extensions and also had her makeup done – complete with "lots of lashes" – as she got glammed up to go to an event. According to the source, Gomez was very sweet as she was pampered at the salon. – Jessica Wedemeyer
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez didn't let the grim subject matter of Contagion scare them off from sharing germs during their movie date. The happy couple engaged in a little PDA when checking out the thriller at Atlanta's Phipps Plaza, holding hands while waiting in line to buy their tickets. Gomez also affectionately rubbed her boyfriend's back while they waited for the flick.
Still going strong, lovebirds Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez quietly slipped into the Beverly Center Monday afternoon. Though the pair spent time in the shopping center's luxury wing – which includes stores like Prada, Louis Vuitton and Fendi – they were apparently just window-shopping: both left empty-handed.
Justin Bieber and his Shia LaBeouf-adoring girlfriend Selena Gomez stuck together for a shopping trip at AX Armani Exchange in New York – literally. The couple strolled hand-in-hand through the two-level store, showing off plenty of PDA. Gomez also helped her beau pick out some clothes – specifically some gray and white cotton T-shirts.
Selena Gomez drew thousands of admirers (and their parents!) to the Miami International Mall in Doral, Fla., on Tuesday, where she was promoting her new film, Monte Carlo. "There were so many fans there you could hardly walk," a source tells PEOPLE. "It was amazing."
Just before spending time with his family in Toronto, Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez stopped by a Cheesecake Factory in Arlington, Texas, for a relaxing lunch. Accompanied by a bodyguard, the happy couple split a pizza and several appetizers, and washed down their meal with lemonade. For dessert? One of Bieber's favorites – a slice of cherry cheesecake. The duo also snapped photos with fans at the restaurant.
Before heading to Hawaii for a sunny beach vacation, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez shared a date – with two of their bodyguards! – inside Las Vegas's Cosmopolitan Hotel. The duo was hunting for the hotel's "secret pizza" spot – a hidden restaurant that serves New York-style pies in the hotel. According to onlookers, the two successfully grabbed pizza and were smiling as they chowed down.

Drafting a master plan
This is a journey into the make believe world of the Dolphins draft room as we put two and two together to come up with a plan that mirrors the organization's real blueprint for the 2008 draft.
Just like Eric B. & Rakim's classic Paid in Full, the Dolphins have been "Thinking of a master plan" since the day Bill Parcells moved into his Davie office, and I'm finally seeing the vision. This draft ISN'T about addressing needs. They did that in free agency. This draft is about pumping up the volume on the roster, boosting the talent level at every, and any position.
A thorough look at the Dolphins roster after free agency leads me to believe the ONLY pressing need the Dolphins must address in this draft involves the offensive line. Outside of finding a potential starter at right tackle and left guard the Trifecta has addressed the quarterback spot, receiver, linebacker, defensive line, and the secondary.
Doing so, outside of taking care of the offensive line, the Dolphins can truly focus on selecting the BEST TALENT available at each pick, following through with their grading system from start to finish in this draft.
So here's the master plan I've created after listening closely to Jeff Ireland and Tony Sparano, and the reasoning behind each step.
1. Trade out of the No. 1 pick for a mid-level first round (or better) with a team willing to put together a package of selections that must include a second round pick, and future considerations like a second rounder in 2009. Why? Because the drop off in talent from pick one to pick 10 (New Orleans), or 13 (Carolina) isn't tremendously steep. Plus, it would save the organization a lot of coin. The Panthers have 10 picks in this draft and might be willing to put a package together that could land the Dolphins another potential starter.
2. If the Dolphins wind up keeping the No. 1 pick, select the Long (Chris or Jake) with the highest grade. While Jake would address a pressing need in the draft, Chris fits the mold of the caliber of player this organization wants to fill the roster with. Can't go wrong with either one, but passing on Jake could be problematic since there will be a run on offensive tackles in this draft, and whoever the Dolphins select will likely be a starter from day one. The Dolphins must determine if they are comfortable passing on Jake Long and being left with options like Kansas' Anthony Collins, Nebraska's Carl Nicks, Auburn's King Dunlap, Virginia Tech's Duane Brown or Clemson's Barry Richardson as the 2008 starter. Chris Long has the versatility to play a number of position in a 3-4 or 4-3, but he likely wouldn't be an immediate starter unless he pushes Matt Roth for the starting left end spot because Jason Taylor and Joey Porter play the same role.
3. If Jake Long, or another offensive lineman, isn't the first round pick, then use the first second round pick to select the best available offensive lineman. You can't take too many chances and leave this position exposed because tackles are one of the hardest positions to fill in the NFL. Building a strong offensive line is the No. 1 priority or the Trifecta because it lays the foundation for the running and passing game.
4. If CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, QB Chad Henne, OG Branden Alberts, WR Limas Sweed, CB Brandon Flowers are still on the board with pick No. 32 then void No. 3 and use the top pick in the second round to get these value picks. These aren't the only names who could be second round gems if they slip. Just the ones I know are high on the Dolphins board. But players like Oklahoma linebacker Curtis Lofton or Notre Dame's defensive tackle Trevor Laws could also be viewed as value picks the Dolphins might stray from their draft day plans to snag.
5. If a quarterback hasn't been selected with the first of the two second round picks, use the second of the two second rounders to pick up whichever of the three quarterbacks (Henne, Delaware's Joe Flacco, and Louisville's Brian Brohm) have a better grade from the Dolphins scouts, and are still on the draft board. Finding a quality quarterback should be a priority this year because it doesn't look like there will be high caliber quarterbacks available in the 2009 & 2010 draft.
If you are wondering why Boston College's Matt Ryan isn't an option with the No. 1 pick, here's three reasons. 1. Only one quarterback plays at a time and this staff is going to give both Josh McCown and John Beck a run at starting. 2. Ryan throws too many interceptions for the Trifecta's liking considering Bill Parcells' top no-no are turnovers. 3. And finally, the most important reason. Why pay a quarterback roughly $35 million in guaranteed money as the No. 1 pick when you could pay the second, or third best quarterback in this draft a contract that will probably TOTAL $5 million as the top pick in the second round. That makes A LOT more financial sense since both Ryan or Henne, or Flacco for that matter, will be a crap shoot. For any quarterback selected, the first year will be spent learning, so the true value comes in how they develop, not where they were rated, or drafted.
6. Trade the first pick of round three away for a later pick in the same round and another pick in round five or better. The goal is to get that 10th draft pick, and hopefully it's one that's high enough to bring value. The Dolphins have enough 6th and 7th round picks, so if those are the best a team is willing to offer up to swap thirds stick with having the first pick in day 2, which will be a much coveted selection of the draft in my opinion.
7. Use the third round pick to add depth at various positions like linebacker (this is a weak draft for this position), nose guard (ditto), receiver (good value here), tight end (ditto), and possible fill the hole at left guard if a player of value, with a high grade, is still on the board.
8. If an offensive guard hasn't been selected by round four, make that THE position to address with this selection. Remember, a starter is needed here and you can't wait too long to pick up a player like Toledo's John Greco, USC's Chilo Rachal, or Pittsburgh's Mike McGlynn because they might not be available with your next pick, which is presently a late sixth rounder because of the swap with Dallas that brought Jason Ferguson.
9. Use the final four picks in rounds 6 and 7 to add depth at RB, LB, OL, DL, TE, WR & CB, unless some of those positions were previously addressed. Take a look at the bottom half of the 53-man roster and determine which positions TRULY need an upgrade by adding a youngster to push a veteran with limited upside.
10. Listen to trade offers for all veterans on the trade market who are 26 or younger and could provide great value to the Dolphins. A team might have discounted them for various reasons, but that doesn't mean guys like Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard, Carolina's Julius Peppers, or Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey couldn't help this team for the right price. A couple of teams won't have the salary cap space to sign their draft picks and might unload a veteran entering the final year of his contract. It would also be wise to keep an open mind about ALL the players on your roster, and that includes Jason Taylor. You never know what a team like San Diego, Philadelphia, Denver or Jacksonville, who missed out on their defensive end selection, might be willing to offer in exchange for Taylor. Especially if the Dolphins have selected Chris Long.
As usual, hit F5 to refresh because I'm constantly adding to he blog to address your concerns and questions. And if you've got questions just hit me with them here and like usual I'll respond. If I missed something from the last heated debate you guys and gals had (it gave me a lot to think about) on the previous entry, please just repost it.

Looking Into My 2014 Crystal Ball
Pundits are expected to make predictions for the year ahead and far be it for me to avoid what, generally speaking, depends on who is making them. Major trends are already in place and easy to predict as they proceed, but it is always unknown events that upend predictions. Mother Nature and perpetrators of evil can always be counted upon to provide them.
Since the Earth has been in a seventeen-year cooling cycle, I can safely predict there will be no "global warming" in 2014 and, given the other science-based factors, the likelihood is that 2014 will experience more colder weather and may even be an earlier predictor of a mini-ice age much the same as the one that occurred from 1300 to 1850.
As mentioned, it is the unpredictable events that will affect 2014. The good news is that the U.S. has seen far fewer hurricanes, tornadoes, and forest fires in recent years. The global cooling trend, however, is likely to cause more and larger blizzards.
"Climate change"? This is now the basis of all the lies we shall hear from the President to justify his five-year delay of the Keystone oil pipeline, his continued war on coal—affordable electricity—and other Environmental Protection Agency efforts to control our lives while denying the creation of the thousands of jobs the pipeline and other energy-related development would provide. Environmentalism is the enemy of the technologies that have transformed and enhanced our lives.
The November mid-term elections hold the promise of ridding Congress of some of the Democrats who unanimously voted for Obamacare in 2009. It will also replace those Republicans-in-name-only, RINOs, who have joined Democrats in voting for legislation that advanced the socialism that is strangling the nation by expanding the federal government. I predict the ranks of "independent" voters will increase in 2014.
The erosion of the Democratic Party base will continue as Obamacare afflicts millions of Americans who will lose their healthcare insurance plans, be deprived of using their personal physician, and see their costs increase. It is the essence of communism, providing the government with control over one's life and, in too many cases, causing many to die for the lack of plans they previously had or the costs of those they are required to purchase. Those leaving the party will include women and the younger generation leaving college to discover there aren't any jobs to help them cope with the debt they incurred to attend. Hispanics, too, show signs of leaving.
It is hard to predict what will occur within the Republican Party whose leadership has engaged in denunciations of the Tea Party movement. However, when the Tea Party movement elects more committed conservative GOP candidates, it will save the nation and the party. Suffice to say that Obamacare will be the gift that keeps on giving in 2014. It will, in time, be repealed.
Obama's failed foreign policy will ensure that former allies will cease to trust the U.S. to support their need to deal with the rising threat of Islamic jihad in the Middle East and Africa. Obama has lost Egypt and Saudi Arabia as long-time allies. Israel is in a particularly perilous situation and the outcome of the Syrian civil war does not bode well for it or its neighbor Jordan.

Washington, DC – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today responded to the letter from several dozen leaders of women's religious congregations who expressed support for the Senate health care bill.
"First of all, contrary to its claim, this statement does not represent 59,000 nuns; it represents the approximately 59 nuns who signed it. Secondly, while the bishops' analysis of the health care bill relies on the expertise of legal analysts, it is not clear what expert analysis these signers have relied on. Third, it is absurd to advocate social justice while risking the expansion of a holocaust. The right to life is at the heart of social justice. We can't pursue one by sacrificing the other," Fr. Pavone said.
Earlier this week, Priests for Life called upon all clergy and religious to visit the local offices of their US Representatives, and to echo to them the bishops' call to reject the bill in its present form. In the light of this letter from women religious, Priests for Life will redouble its efforts to bring the voices of millions of Catholics to this debate in the days ahead.

Anthony Benigno of WWE.com has released the preview for this evening's episode of WWE RAW. Likely the most important development in regards to this evening is the addressing of the situation with WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan.
Daniel Bryan underwent neck surgery last week which will reportedly keep him out of action for 2-3 months, a period which the WWE will be unlikely to go without a champion. Benigno notes that "The Authority promises to determine the fate of Bryan's title" this evening, which would likely mean that Bryan will be stripped of the titles.
Bryan's injury could not have come at a worse time for WWE creatively. Many of the top stars who have been sufficiently built to represent the company are currently engaged in storylines leading in to WWE's Payback pay-per-view event. Established stars like John Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista are all currently engaged in feuds with up and coming talents, making a sudden title win something of a detriment to the stories that are progressing. As of this writing, there is arguably no talent on the roster who is capable of holding the title that is not otherwise engaged in a meaningful feud.
With WWE in an awkward situation both creatively and financially, it may be time for a brand new face to be elevated to the WWE titles for the surprise and buzz factor if for no other reason. While this may be a tremendous risk, as putting a belt on a star too soon has been detrimental to the careers of certain individuals in the past, it may also be the only viable option open to WWE at this point in time.
WWE RAW airs on the USA Network at 8/7c. Due to the show being taped in London, spoilers are already available here.

Boyd Melson Returns On June 14
The Sweet Science
ON May 18, 2012
New York, NY (May 18, 2012) – Captain Boyd "Rainmaker" Melson will make his return to the ring Thursday, June 14 when he battles rugged veteran Enrique Gallegos in a six round junior middleweight bout at New York City's Roseland Ballroom.
On March 7, Melson battled unbeaten Delen Parsley in a bout that renowned broadcaster Steve Farhood called one of the best in Broadway Boxing history. In the eight-round slugfest with Parsley, Melson, 8-1 (4 KO's), was credited with two hard knockdowns but ultimately dropped a hotly-contested decision.
With a deceptive professional ledger of 6-5 with 1 knockout, Gallegos battled 2004 Olympian Donnie Orr, K.J. Noons, Sammy Gonzalez and contender Derek Ennis. The Medford, OR native, who fought most of his bouts in his opponents' hometowns, holds victories over Miguel Pasillas (7-2) and Joe Mills (3-1).
"I'm expecting another tough fight and I plan to fight with my heart's passion for both me and my supporters," said Melson, who continues to donate his entire purse Justadollarplease.org in association with a Clinical Trial taking place in the United States to help cure Spinal Cord Injuries. "I was hoping for my second consecutive 8 round bout, but there was not enough room on this card. Enrique's been in with quality fighters and he keeps coming. I know he's not coming to New York to lie down. He has a tremendous chin and the ability to recover extremely quickly. He is going to make me fight hard for each of the 6 rounds."
The card is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and tickets are available by going to Teamfighttowalk.com. All tickets purchased on Teamfighttowalk.com can be picked up at the Roseland Ballroom's will call window on fight night under the credit card holder's name.
In association with Justadollarplease.org, Melson created Team Fight to Walk, whose mission is to raise awareness within the boxing community as well as the entire nation about the importance of bringing Clinical Trials to the United States to help cure Spinal Cord Injuries. Team Fight to Walk is comprised of Melson, former two-time cruiserweight champion Steve "USS" Cunningham, title contender DeAndre "The Bull" Latimore, Edgar "El Chamaco" Santana, Hector "Machito" Camacho Jr., 2008 US Olympians Demetrius "Boo" Andrade and Shawn Estrada along with prospects Sid "The Messenger" El Harrak, Denis "Da Momma's Boy" Douglin, Will "Power" Rosinsky, Floriano "Italiano" Pagliara, Danny "Little Mac" McDermott, Vinny "The Lion" O'Brien, Ahmed "Prince of Egypt" Samir and Delen "Sniper" Parsley.

I have been in many relationships with women over the years. I have been married to a wonderful woman for the past 30 years. Taking all of that into account you would think I would have some idea on how to deal with the many varied aspects of the female gender.
I have learned that a man never has the last word and if he does it won't be the right word. I know that in a relationship with a woman the man is truly never in charge, even though he may think he is.
I have dealt with man's greatest nightmare; five words that will make a masculine, bad ass man cringe and cover. The mention of this phrase to a man by a woman will immediately make the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Those five words are " that time of the month". This is a time when a woman goes through changes and mood swings that resemble a scene from Poltregeist.
Man hasn't got a chance.
After a "period" of time I have learned to live and cope with this natural phenomenon and even begin to accept and help my wife deal with what was happening with her female body. I have made willing sacrifices to be part of the relationship with her. It takes commitment and love for a man to stand in line at Long's by himself with a box of Tampon's. It takes even more strength to endure when the lady at the checkout counter gets on the loudspeaker and asks for a price check on Tampon's on checkout number three.
I am a mature adult male and have come to terms with " that time of the month". All is well with me. Life is good. Relationship is good. I am on top of the world. Nothing can bring me down.
Then without warning, the "M" word enters my life. Menopause.
"That time of the month" seems like a cake walk compared to these new mood swings, hot flashes, cold chills, and the I-will-bite-your-head-off episodes that have now entered my life. Here is a survival tip for all men entering the minefield of the female menopausal twilight zone. When her ears begin to turn a bright crimson red and her breathing becomes louder you have about thirty seconds to evacuate the area before you become a male target for all wrongs to women, real or imagined.
I came to terms with " that time of the month". I will come to terms with menopause.
I will support and help my wife through this phase of her life even if it means living life as a male target. It has been some months now and I have adjusted. All is well with me. Life is good. Relationship is good. I am on top of the world. Nothing can bring me down.
It's the end of the day. The wife and I are sitting down enjoying each other's company. These are the moments we can be a couple but also be one. My wife has been tired lately and out of concern I ask her if she is all right? She say's " I'm O.K. it's been awhile but I think it is "that time of the month" again.
"We're past that! We're in menopause now!" I scream out.
She looks at me and chuckles. "I'm going through lots of changes. It's possible to have "that time of the month" and "menopause" at the same time."
Why are men always the last to know?

With skin a 'delightful' shade of Elmers and a crop of dark red hair, my Celtic heritage is on the fairly obvious side. But you don't have to be even remotely sunburnt and clown-haired to have a rabble-rousing good time at the 2012 Dayton Celtic Festival.
What: The Dayton Celtic Festival, a celebration of Celtic music, food and wares.
When: Friday, July 27th- Sunday, July 29th, 2012
Where: RiverScape Metro Park
Price: Free!
The United Irish of Dayton have been putting on the Dayton Celtic Festival since 2002, offering a free family weekend of Celtic culture. In it's tenth year, the Dayton Celtic Festival will be serving up traditional food, shopping and entertainment to represent Irish and Scottish traditions.
2012 Dayton Celtic Festival Hours:
Friday July 27: 6-11 pm
Saturday July 28: 12 pm – 11 pm
Sunday July 29: 9 am – 6 pm
Entertainment and Kids Activities: The Dayton Celtic Festival is a place where ancient Celtic traditions are brought to life. With traditional dance and music and plenty of beer to taste, this is a great night out for adults. The Children's area also provides lots for the kids to do, with authentic crafts and fun games that will teach a bit about Celtic customs while keeping the kiddos engaged.
Food: Kids will also delight in the array of food vendors at the Dayton Celtic Festival. From haggis to a less traditional cheesecake-on-a-stick, there are a lot of mouth-watering options to choose from that kids will love (okay, maybe not the haggis, but it's worth a try just to see their faces).
The food is reasonably priced; it costs what you would normally expect to spend on event vendor foods. To save money, eat before you go, pack some light snacks and save your spending to explore the treats that really catch your eye instead of trying to feed everyone dinner at this event.
Dayton Celtic Festival Schedule of Events: A free schedule can be downloaded here in PDF format. The Dayton Celtic Festival will present music and dance on three different stages, as well as a cultural area. My can't-miss suggestions are the Celtic Academy of Irish Dance and Gaelic Storm.

History is being made as many are now turning disease promoting traditions at the holidays into health promoting habits for life! Plus, the nutritarian eating-style is spreading all over the globe as a result of the excitement of so many getting their health and lives back all year long; Eat to Live alone has sold over one million copies!
Three weeks into this year's Holiday Challenge and I'm flabbergasted, along with my teams at DiseaseProof.com and DrFuhrman.com, that 3236 people (over twice as many since the first one in 2010), most of whom were on the fence for years, have joined us in jumping on board this year's challenge. I'm thrilled by the success of this outreach and the many hundreds of supportive e-mails and posts that we've received from those, who for the first time in their lives, are getting their health back over the holidays instead of watching it deteriorate further. This challenge has even helped motivate thousands more, who were already eating healthfully, to do even better. We've all come together in solidarity to eat healthfully throughout the holiday season.
For those of you who are now half-way through the challenge, I'm so proud of you that you are sticking to the promise; staying away from fast food and junk food, and adding high nutrient foods and exercise instead. Can you imagine only three weeks left and then you can go back to eating junk again?! (just kidding!) And that's the exciting part also; with all the delicious, healthy recipes, many have found the holiday challenge much easier and more enjoyable than they could've ever imagined. They now know that they can stay on the road to wellness long after the holidays are over. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your success stories after the New Year.
Congratulations to all of you!
Being a shining example of excellent health is an exciting personal victory and one that will also enable you to help others in need. Keep up the great work.
Your health is your greatest wealth.

The field of dentistry has come a long way in recent years. Thanks to new technology, we are able to detect tooth and gum problems earlier and to treat them more effectively, as well.
At my Boulder, Colorado dental practice, we dedicate several hours a month to researching the latest technological advances in dentistry in order to determine what techniques and equipment might be of benefit to our patients.
If you are interested in smile restoration, advanced aesthetic procedures have made it possible to get results that last longer and are more natural looking than ever before. Invisalign clear braces are one stunning example of how far cosmetic dentistry has come.
In the specialization of neuromuscular dentistry, state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment is integral in the process of determining the origins of a "bad bite." I use technologically advanced systems for the purposes of jaw tracking and jaw mapping, to both pinpoint the problem and design a custom solution. The Pure Power Mouthguard is one of the newest products we have available to encourage proper bite rehabilitation.
In our wellness services, one of our newer features is the laser bacterial reduction (LBR) that we now offer at each cleaning. By using this efficient, precise method of cleaning the teeth and gums, we greatly reduce the amount of bacteria introduced in the bloodstream during the cleaning process.
As I work to improve your dental health, I will consistently seek ways to provide you with the optimal combination of art and science during your dental treatment. If you would like to learn more about the technology used at our family dental office, please contact my expert dental team to discuss our services in detail.

Dollar Day at Foster Auditorium on Saturday, offering $1 tickets and $1 nachos
Alabama Womens Basketball Assistant Coach Clarisse Garcia.
Clarisse Garcia, whose five years of coaching experience includes two as a head coach, joins the Crimson Tide women's basketball staff for her first season as assistant coach. Garcia will be primarily responsible for recruiting in addition to coaching, player development, elite camp and scouting.
For the past two seasons, Garcia has served as the head coach at Palm Beach Atlantic University, an NCAA Division II institution in West Palm Beach, Fla. In May of 2010, she took over a team that had six wins the previous year and increased that total immediately. The Sailfish closed out the 2010-11 campaign on a five-game winning streak en route to capturing the Independent Invitational Classic Tournament Championship in Washington, D.C.
The fall of 2012 saw Palm Beach Atlantic get off to the best start in program history, winning four of its first six contests. Under Garcia's watch, Sailfish student-athletes set several program bests including the all-time three-point scoring leader and single-season three-point scoring leader, the all-time leading rebounder, and the all-time blocking leader. She also had two student-athletes named to the Independent Collegiate Athletic Association (ICAA) second team and another two named to the All-ICAA third team.
In addition to their success on the court, Garcia's teams excelled in the classroom as she oversaw an increase in the team's overall GPA from below a 3.0 to 3.2. Throughout her tenure, she had two student-athletes with 4.0 GPAs, attaining President's List status, two qualifying for the Provost's List (3.5-3.9) and six on the Athletics Director's List (3.0-3.4).
Prior to Palm Beach Atlantic, Garcia spent one season as the top assistant and recruiting coordinator at Stetson University. During her time in Deland, Fla., she recruited and signed a nationally-ranked student-athlete and helped coach the team to an appearance in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament.
Garcia began her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Seton Hill University in Greensburg, Pa. In her two seasons with the Griffins, she assisted in the mentoring and development of student-athletes, which could be seen both on and off the court. In her final season at Seton Hill, Garcia helped coach the team to a fourth-place finish in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association (WVIAC) Conference tournament, in addition to helping the Griffins rank third nationally for team GPA in NCAA Division II. In 2009, Garcia was named the Women's Basketball Coaches Association/Women's Sports Foundation graduate assistant of the year.
Garcia was an accomplished player at Villanova University. During her four-year career (2003-07) with the Wildcats women's basketball team, she was a three-time BIG EAST All-Academic team member as well as a three-time member of the Villanova dean's list. She served as team captain her senior season and helped the Wildcats advance to the NCAA Tournament in 2004, as well as the Women's National Invitation Tournament in 2005 and 2006.
Garcia also has been involved in several camps and clinics including the Prohoops Camp at the Final Four, Leadership Through Basketball Camps in Morocco, University of Pittsburgh Summer Camps, Harry Perretta Basketball Clinics, Nike Basketball Camps and the Philadelphia Big 5 Clinics.

Learn More About Wall Sconces
Why We Love Wall SconcesSconces and wall lighting in general provide the necessary ambient light that gives a room its warmth. While ceiling lights disperse illumination downward and out, sconces brighten each wall and often give those walls a bit of much needed decoration too. Contemporary and modern wall sconces give a space distinction and provide an important functional service while other styles of wall sconces can give a room personality and a sense of direction when decorating.
Where Wall Sconces Work Best
In both residential rooms and commercial locations like retail stores, restuarants and hotels, wall sconces add a desirable amount of light to a space and excel at decorating bare walls. Living rooms become living rooms when wall sconces are in place, providing welcoming light for group gatherings while complementing the light provided by existing ceiling lights. Wall sconces give dining room lighting similar warmth and can add an additional romantic feel for an intimate dinner. Entryways and foyer areas benefit from the addition of a couple of sconces and a pair of wall sconces in the hallway provide necessary guiding illumination, especially when the hallway is long and doesn't receive light from windows. Wet and damp rated outdoor sconces mounted by the front or back door provide another sense of welcoming and inviting light, and a wet rated bathroom sconce is key to optimal vanity lighting.
A Sconce for Every Style
Whether you need a wall sconce light to fit a mid-century modern themed home or someting with more classic and traditional decorative elements, you will find plenty of options in this widespread assortment. For contemporary spaces, look to any of the wall sconces from SONNEMAN Lighting or the Italian-made sconces from Artemide. If you need to fit a luxurious space, you'll love the offering from Terzani or consider a statement-making sconce with crystals by Schonbek Lighting. A transitional space will benefit from the sconce light fixtures by Hinkley Lighting or look to Maxim Lighting for a truly traditional styled sconce. Finally, look to the selection of LED wall sconces for a fixture with a stunning design that is also energy efficient.
Choosing the Best Wall Sconces
Sconces are offered in a number of shapes and sizes so it is critical for you to thoroughly measure your space before installing the sconce you choose. When browsing for a new sconce, be sure to review its sizing dimensions including its height, width and weight to get the best gauge of how it will look in your room. You will also want to determine if you want a sconce with uplight (wall uplights) or a sconce that projects light downward, and look to sconces with switches for designs that allow you to control the light with a flip of a button. If you have any questions about the sizes and styles of the sconces featured here, please call our lighting experts at 877.445.4486.
Other Great Options
If you love the look of these sconces, but want something that is portable and easy to install, look to the assortment of plug-in sconces. Plug-in wall sconces move wherever you need them to and simply plug into a power outlet, giving you ample and accessible lighting. And in the bathroom, you might prefer something other than a wall-mounted sconce -- look to the full assortment of vanity lighting fixtures for stylish modern bath bars, lighted mirrors and overhead ceiling lights. Finally, set the mood by putting your wall sconce on a dimmer switch from the ultra-modern Legrand Adorne collection.

Michigan State doesn't usually get so excited over landing a 5-foot-10 freshman recruit, but on Monday, they did.
Lourawls Nairn, also known affectionately as "Tum Tum", certainly does not fit the typical mold for a Spartan basketball player at his height. Yet, despite this, he's considered a consensus Top 100 recruit and had other scholarship offers from Indiana, Kansas, Memphis, Iowa, and Minnesota - all due in large part to his incredible speed and ability to blow through defenses.
Nairn, who transferred over to East Lansing from Sunrise Christian Academy in Kansas, is the talk of the Spartans' team right now, and head coach Tom Izzo thinks he knows why.
"You know, he's not a great shooter, but he can do a lot of other things really well,'' Izzo said of the freshman. "Day Day (Draymond Green) told me I'd have to break tradition, he said 'I think you should name him a captain as a freshman.'
"Day Day says it excites him to play ball with him, and that's a helluva comment from a three-year (NBA) pro.''
Green's enthusiasm for the young, talented player is one shared by many of his teammates at Michigan State. Green himself, who now plays for the Oakland State Warriors in the NBA, took the time to talk to reporters over the weekend concerning Tum Tum's natural abilities.
"His number one attribute is his leadership skills — he's already a great leader,'' Green said. "He definitely has the want-to, (and) he's motivated. He's very quick, cat-quick, very strong, but one thing I like about him is his work ethic. So all the things people say he can't do, he's getting better at those things.
"But he's competitive, I think, and a winner, and I think those are the best two things you can say about someone. It's good to be able to shoot, it's good to be able to drive, but when you're a competitor and you're a winner, that trumps everything.''
Those currently around Nairn are all beginning to feel the impact of the natural born leader from Kansas. Michigan State junior Denzel Valentine spoke highly of his new teammate, despite only knowing him for a short time thus far.
"Tum is a great leader, he just grinds, and he's going to do whatever it takes to win,'' Valentine said. "He doesn't have the best jump shot, but he gets it done on the offensive and defensive end. If it really comes down to it, I know he'll hit the shot or lock someone up on the defensive end.
"For him, it's just getting the shot consistent and learning to run the team.''

Hulk Hogan has been working on a deal with the WWE since leaving TNA Impact Wrestling and he finally reached an agreement with the company in January. PWInsider.com reported on Feb. 10 that Hulk Hogan will finally make his return to the WWE on "WWE Monday Night Raw" on the day the WWE Network launches.
It sounds like the WWE is pulling out all the big guns for this big show as The Undertaker is also supposed to make his return to the company that night as well. It will not only be the first day of the WWE Network launch but also is the first "Raw" leading to "Wrestlemania 30."
Interestingly, the WWE has also booked legendary manager "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart to appear on that episode of "WWE Monday Night Raw" as well. Whether he appears with Hulk Hogan or is there on his own to help promote the "WWE Legend's House" series is unknown.
Jimmy Hart returning to the WWE in some capacity might open up the option in the future of a WWE Hall of Fame induction for the Hart Foundation, which could finally see Owen Hart inducted into the Hall without worrying about the interference of his widow Martha Hart.
What role Hulk Hogan will play should come into play on that "WWE Monday Night Raw" episode and the idea is still that the "Wrestlemania I" main event being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame is the most realistic idea, with Roddy Piper and Hulk Hogan both involved..

Ricky Stanzi and the Iowa Hawkeyes entertain Michigan State Saturday on the fifth annual 'Blackout Saturday' event at Kinnick...and those 70,000 fans of the Hawkeyes will -- as always -- have a big impact on the outcome.
Oct. 29, 2010
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Random thoughts on the morning of the first big freeze in Iowa for fall 2010...
Yes. For those of you reading this on a beach in Florida or on your sun porch in Tempe, the Heartland got a taste of what's to come last night/this morning. Chilly, really chilly. Now, having said that, the sun is shining brightly today and is forecast to shine brightly again tomorrow at historic Kinnick Stadium. Heck of a deal.
Hope springs eternal in the college basketball world during the month of October, but on the UI campus the surge of momentum behind Fran and Lisa's squads was stymied recently by the injury bug. Matt Gatens is the latest Hawkeye to be sidelined - three, four, or five weeks with an injured thumb on his non-shooting hand. As bad as that is, it's Bluder's Bunch that has taken the biggest hit with a foot injury to Trisha Nesbitt and another ACL tear for Theairra Taylor. "She's handling it beautifully," Bluder said yesterday of the talented Taylor. "She's doing tremendous...probably much better than her coaches are doing." Let's hope these are the last bites by the bug for the season.
Two superior quarterbacks who are throwin' it accurately and productively, two salty defenses, two solid offensive lines, two teams that hang onto the pigskin, two coaches who appear to be cut from the same football cloth, and one football game. Hawkeyes by 10 Saturday at Kinnick, folks. The sky isn't falling, Hawk fans, and there's going to be 70,000 of you in the stands - all dressed in black in honor of "Blackout Saturday" - helping to make it happen. Heck of a deal.
You might have seen this reported elsewhere - and hawkeyesports.com will offer a closer look this weekend - but the UI football program is cranking out graduates at the same time its cranking out record-setting success on the playing field. According to information released this week by the NCAA, the "Graduation Success Rate" - GSR - for Kirk's program hit a high-water mark of 79 percent for the last reporting period, a whopping 10 points better than the national average. That's good stuff, folks.
The "Get Well Soon, NORM!" banner that was available for fans of the Hawkeyes to sign during pre-game last Saturday in the Krause Family Plaza made its way out of Carver-Hawkeye Arena and to the football offices this week but not before I took a quick peek. It was quite a sight - nary an inch of unused space. Lots of great wishes for our defensive coordinator...and I'm certain he'll appreciate the sentiment. Look for a photograph of the banner next week on hawkeyesports.com.

Look for a photograph of the banner next week on hawkeyesports.com.
Melsahn Basabe...that's a name fans of the Hawkeye men's basketball program are going to hear often in the weeks and months and years to come. Here's some of what Fran had to say about the talented freshman in a story that appeared this week on hawkeyesports.com: "Melsahn is a young man of phenomenal character and great personality. He is an incredibly talented person -- a long-armed shot-blocker; a runner and dunker who has a legitimate low-post game offensively. Melsahn has a great work ethic and clearly he's going to be an impact player and one of the best freshmen in our league." I invite you to click HERE and watch an interview with Melsahn. An impressive young man, indeed.
Here's a suggestion: Sunday is supposed to be a pretty nice fall day so why not head over to City Park in Iowa City and watch Mandi Kowal' s Hawkeyes as they host the 2010 Head of Iowa. "It means a lot to the student-athletes to be here and to race in front of their friends and family," Kowal said earlier this week. It would also mean a lot to these talented and determined young women to have a nice chunk of fans of the Hawkeyes on the west bank of the Iowa River cheering them on...and, probably, learning what this rowing stuff is all about. 10 a.m., Sunday...we'll see you there.
Go Hawks!

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Freshman Annika Lenz was named Pac-12 Diver of the Month for November, as announced by the conference on Friday. Lenz won four of the nine events she was entered in during the month, including a perfect 4-for-4 in her first four collegiate events.
Lenz opened the month with 1-Meter and 3-Meter victories against UC Santa Barbara and Florida Gulf Coast, posting a 282.00 six-dive score in the 1-Meter and a 290.75 in the 3-Meter.
In her first Pac-12 dual meet against Arizona, she again won the 1-Meter and 3-Meter, recording a score of 263.03 in the 1-Meter and a 289.20 in the 3-Meter.
She also added Top Three finishes two more times during the month, including a third-place finish in the 1-Meter at Arizona State (269.55) and a third-place showing in the 3-Meter (season-best 298.60) at the Wildcat Diving Invitational.
It is the second straight year a Bruin has been named Pac-12 Diver of the Month for November after Emma Ivory-Ganja won the award in 2012. It is UCLA's 10th conference Diver of the Month accolade.

AT&T Samsung Epix Review
The Samsung Epix was released at roughly the same time as all the other AT&T holiday offerings, so it was pretty easy to lose this particular smartphone in the crowd. And while in many ways it can be considered just another WinMo 6.1 device, it does bring some new stuff to AT&T.
This device is also known as the Samsung i907, and had been rumored to be coming out on AT&T's network for several months. The Epix is the U.S. version of the i780. While originally whispered as the Blackjack 3, we have since discovered that it is not the rightful successor to that namesake. Rather, the Epix is its own new monster.
Enough history. Let's get down to brass tacks.
First Impressions of the Samsung Epix
Upon first look of the Epix, one gets the initial impression that it is, indeed, a Blackjack; the keyboard, not to mention the entire frame of the phone, looks eerily familiar. However there are a couple things that make this particular model stand out of the Blackjack crowd.
For example, the Epix uses Windows Mobile Professional. Yes, it is a touchscreen! It also features an optical mouse — essentially, a trackpad for your smartphone.
I loved the size of the screen as well. It seems a little bigger and brighter than the Blackjack series.
AT&T Samsung Epix Design
The Epix fits two different styles well. It has a great touchscreen that you can use either your finger or the included stylus on, and there are several handy shortcuts on the keyboard and soft keys above it.
We find the optical mouse in the center of the phone, surrounded by the soft keys, Start menu button, OK button, as well as the call and end buttons. On the keyboard itself we can see shortcuts for messaging, camera, internet and CV.
We can tell the Epix was made to last. We didn't feel as though it was going to break apart in our hands, which is always a great sign when looking at purchasing a new phone.
On the right side of the Epix there is the standard charger port and MicroSD slot. On the left side, simply a volume toggle and left convenience button.
Not much to the back, just the 2.0 MP camera hanging out there.
Features of Samsung Epix for AT&T
With the WinMo 6.1 Professional and included touchscreen, it also comes with handwriting recognition. This is a Graffiti-style ability in which you can draft documents, texts and emails by simply writing it in your own handwriting instead of bothering with the physical keyboard. While I love this option, I go much faster typing normally than I would with handwriting.
My favorite original feature on the Epix is the optical mouse. This is something that's been used in Europe for a little while now, and has finally made its way into the States. The mouse acts as a sort of trackpad for your smartphone, and when touched the cursor will appear and move around with the acts of your fingers.
The Samsung Epix also packs in GPS AND WiFi — a practice that is suddenly becoming more common with AT&T. This is wonderful news, as I feel it shouldn't be much more expensive to add both options into the phone.
In addition, the Epix also features:
- Quad-band GPS/EDGE and tri-band 3G/HSDPA for access around the world in every country
- 624 MHz processor (wow!)
- 2.0 MP camera with video record
- 1800 mAh battery for extended usage
- Full HTML browser
The full browser looks a bit like this, and is easy to navigate through.
Needless to say, the Epix also comes loaded with Bubble Breaker, as any good Windows Mobile device does. Don't play too long, lest you become addicted.
AT&T Samsung Epix Performance
The overall performance of the Epix is not too shabby at all. Battery life is rated at 7 hours of talk time and 336 hours (14 days) of standby, mainly due to the monstrous battery Samsung generously included.
I love the processor. You cannot find another phone with a processor faster than 624 MHz at the time of this writing, so this will genuinely be one of the faster phones on the market. I recommend putting in a memory card so as to not limit the amount of available memory for the large processor to take advantage of.
I do wish the Epix had better ringtones by default, but Windows always seems to lack somewhat in the ringtone category.
One thing I was disappointed to discover with the Epix is that there are only proprietary Samsung cords available; there is no spot for a normal data cable. In this day and age, it should be rather simple to include a standardized connection for each phone model, so why not include something?
But overall, not a bad smartphone for AT&T to bring out in the superb lineup for this holiday season. It lives in the shadow of the HTC Fuze and Blackberry Bold, but this is a pretty good alternative to look at as well.

CLEVELAND — Father's Day isn't until June 19, but Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera got a jump on the festivities Sunday afternoon at Progressive Field.
After playing with his 3-year-old son, Meyer, on the field prior to the series finale against Cincinnati, Cabrera celebrated by powering the Indians to a 12-4 victory and a sweep of the Reds.
The 25-year-old shortstop, who is quickly evolving into one of the majors' best at his position, enjoyed a career day at the plate, going 5-for-5 with two home runs and five RBIs.
"Asdrubal Cabrera was a one-man show," said Cleveland manager Manny Acta, whose club improved to a major league-leading 29-15. The Indians are a big league-best 18-4 at home, equaling the best start in franchise history. "He just took over. He continues to play like an All-Star for us since Day 1."
Actually, Cabrera had help. The majority came from leadoff batter Michael Brantley and Shin-Soo Choo — the players that sandwich Cabrera (second) in the batting order.
Cleveland's top three hitters accounted for 10 of the team's 13 hits, scored six runs and drove in nine. They went 7-for-7 with five RBIs against Reds starter Edinson Volquez, who lasted just 2 2⁄3 innings.
But it was Cabrera who stood out, setting career highs in hits and homers and equaling a career high with his RBIs. The last Indians player to collect five hits and five RBIs in a game was Victor Martinez, who drove in seven against the Mariners in 2004.
Cabrera is healthy after an injury-plagued 2010 and has asserted himself on the level of the elite shortstops in the game, batting .302 with a team-leading nine homers and 32 RBIs.
"We do know that he is one of the best at the position," Acta said.
"I don't think too much about that," Cabrera said of his standing in the league. "I'm just trying to help the team win and have fun. (I'm healthy), that's the only difference. My whole body feels good."
The surging Indians are feeling good after sweeping Cincinnati for the first time in seven years. The Reds entered the three-game set having won the last seven series between the intrastate interleague rivals.
"They are tough at home," said Reds manager Dusty Baker, whose team lost its fifth straight game on the heels of a five-game winning streak. "They're playing good baseball. Whatever they needed, they got this series."
After winning the first two games with comebacks, Cleveland scored early Sunday, leading 7-0 after three innings.
Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the first, and a throwing error from Reds catcher Ramon Hernandez scored two more in the opening inning.
Right-hander Carlos Carrasco (3-2, 5.16 ERA) was the beneficiary of the early support, getting the win after allowing four runs on six hits (two homers) over six innings.
Carrasco surrendered solo shots to Joey Votto in the first and Jay Bruce in the sixth — a two-run inning for Cincinnati, which closed the gap to 7-3 before Cabrera's solo homer in the bottom of the sixth.
The rout was on after Cleveland scored four times in the seventh, getting RBI doubles from Brantley and Jack Hannahan and a run-scoring single from Cabrera in his last at-bat.
Despite seeing three players land on the disabled list last week — Grady Sizemore, Travis Hafner and Alex White — the magic continued for the Indians, who are off to their best start after 44 games since 2001. They are 14 games over .500 for the first time since 2007 and own a seven-game lead in the Central Division standings.
"We've got a good team," Cabrera said. "We know it, and we want to keep it going."

Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids Provide Health Benefits Throughout Life
by Mita Majumdar on May 26, 2012 at 1:55 PM Health Watch - G J E 4
With the meeting of the 10th Congress of the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids & Lipids beginning from May 26, 2012, in Vancouver, Canada, where scientists from academia and government, and health professionals would interact, we will get to learn more about the cutting edge science related to biology of fatty acids.
So, what are fatty acids basically? Chemically, they are carboxylic acid with long hydrocarbon chains. Literally, they are fats that are important source of fuel to the cells as they break down into ATP providing energy to the heart and skeletal muscle.
AdvertisementFatty acids can either be saturated (SFA) or unsaturated. Omega-3 fatty acids [that includes EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), and ALA (alpha-linolenic acid)] and omega-6 fatty acids are considered essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) because they are required by our body to synthesize prostaglandins and other physiological regulators. Health benefits of these fatty acids, especially omega-3, include reducing inflammation as well as lowering the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol, and arthritis. They are also important for cognitive and behavioral functions. Studies have found low levels of omega-3 may cause disorders such as attention-deficit hyperkinetic disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and depression.
A recent review study published in the journal Advances in Nutrition, summed up the health benefits of omega-3 as 'The omega-3 PUFA EPA and DHA are important throughout life and are a dietary necessity found predominantly in fish and fish-oil supplements. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are essential for proper fetal development, and supplementation during pregnancy has also been linked to decreased immune responses in infants including decreased incidence of allergies in infants. Omega-3 fatty acid consumption has been associated with improved cardiovascular function in terms of anti-inflammatory properties, and reduced major coronary events'.
Along with omega-3, omega-6 fatty acids help with brain functions. They also look after the bone health, regulate metabolism, and stimulate hair and skin growth. Linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6, is amongst the most important essential fatty acids. LA gets converted to gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) and then to arachidonic acid (AA) in the body. GLA is thought to actually reduce inflammation. Omega-6 fatty acids, especially GLA, is useful for health conditions such as ADHD, allergies, high blood pressure, diabetic neuropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, menopausal symptoms, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
In short, essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6 are indispensable for normal growth and development and they provide health benefits throughout life. Incidentally, the body cannot make these essential fatty acids. So, these must come from dietary sources.
Omega-3 fatty acids can be obtained from foods such as soybean oil, canola oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, walnut, flaxseed, and fish such as trout, herring and salmon.
Omega-6 can be obtained from vegetable oils such as soybean oil, corn oil, safflower oil and other oils mentioned above.
Normally, omega-6 is plentiful in an average diet. Rather, modern diets have more of omega-6 than omega-3 and this imbalance may promote diseases such as asthma, CVD, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases. According to a US study published in the journal Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy, 'human beings evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) of approximately 1 (that is, equal proportion) whereas in Western diets the ratio is 15/1-16.7/1'. The researchers further stated 'A ratio of 2.5/1 reduced rectal cell proliferation in patients with colorectal cancer, whereas a ratio of 4/1 with the same amount of omega-3 PUFA had no effect. The lower omega-6/omega-3 ratio in women with breast cancer was associated with decreased risk. A ratio of 2-3/1 suppressed inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and a ratio of 5/1 had a beneficial effect on patients with asthma, whereas a ratio of 10/1 had adverse consequences. These studies indicate that the optimal ratio may vary with the disease under consideration'. Thus, a lower omega-6 / omega-3 ratio is more desirable in order to reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
There is another type of unsaturated fatty acid that is currently a hot topic for discussion - trans-fats. Natural sources of dietary trans-fats are fatty parts of meat and dairy products. Artificial trans-fats are found in foods that contain hydrogenated oil. Artificial trans-fats are found in margarines and vegetable shortenings, frozen pizzas, baked goods such as cake, cookies, pie, and also in coffee creamers, fast food, and other processed foods. According to the CDC, 'Consuming trans-fat increases low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol contributing to the leading cause of death in the U.S. - coronary heart disease (CHD). Trans-fat may also have other adverse health effects like decreasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or "good") cholesterol'.
Considering these facts, the FDA required mandatory trans-fat labeling on all packaged food and a few years later some states in America have issued a trans-fat ban and a rule requiring fast food restaurants to post calorie info on menus. More recently, legislations have been passed banning trans-fats in schools as well.
The American Heart Association's Nutrition Committee recommends restricting intake of total fat to less than 25-35 percent of total calories required per day, with saturated fat intake to less than 7 percent and trans-fat intake to less than 1 percent of total daily calories. The Committee suggests that 'remaining fat should come from sources of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as nuts, seeds, fish and vegetable oils'.
Significant research studies are still being carried out to know more about the health benefits of fatty acids. In view of this, we await the results of the advances made in fatty acid and lipid research.
