McINTOSH LEADS LADY BULLDOGS WITH 18 POINTS IN BOWIE STATE'S 70-56 WIN OVER SHEPHERD
BOWIE, Md. - The Lady Bulldogs of Bowie State used a 42-24 halftime advantage and cruised to a 70-56 non-conference home victory over the Rams of Shepherd University. The win snapped a four-game slide and sets the Lady Bulldogs record at 3-4 heading into the Christmas break.
Sophomore Jasmine McIntosh led Bowie State in scoring for the second game in row, pacing the Lady Bulldogs with a game-high 19 points to go along with eight rebounds. Senior Jasmine Jacobs and junior Brooke Miles added 13 points each. Junior Moriah Goodman fell just shy of a double-double, scoring eight points, grabbed a game and personal season-high 12 rebounds and tied for team-high block honors with three.
“To head into the Christmas break with this record is a little better start than we got off to last year”, said second-year head coach Renard Smith. Bowie State began the 2011-2012 season with eight straight losses before tasting victory for the first time. Smith went on to say, “We did not shoot the ball well at all tonight. However, I wanted to limit out turnovers and we got good bench productivity.”
Bowie State shot 41 percent from the field in the first half (16-of-39) but cooled down to 28 percent in the second half (7-of-25). The Lady Bulldogs had a better shooting percentage from the free throw line, making 17-of-20 overall (85 percent).
Shepherd (2-3) was led by Rachel Johnson and Gabby Flinchum with 13 and 12 points respectively. Emily Daniel was the Rams’ leading rebounder with 10 and top shot blocker with four.
The Lady Bulldogs defense held the Rams to 17-of-65 shooting from the field (26 percent), which included 7-of-23 (30 percent) beyond the 3-points line.
Bowie State trailed twice in the game but very early. With Shepherd leading 6-4 at the 16:58 mark of the first half, Miles stuck a 3-pointer and the Lady Bulldogs would never trail again. The Lady Bulldogs stretch the lead to double digits (28-18) with 6:34 left in the opening period and grew to 42-24 by halftime.
The Rams were able to cut the deficit to 10 three times in the second half, with the last occurring with 2:19 remaining in the game and the Lady Bulldogs in front 61-51. Bowie State bench stepped up big over the final 20 minutes, scoring 18 of the teams 28 points.
The Lady Bulldogs will take final exams next week and head home for the holidays before returning for a road game at Queens (N.Y.) College. The Knights and Lady Bulldogs will close out 2012 with a 1 pm contest on Saturday (December 29) in Fitzgerald Gym.

GLENVILLE STATE ESCAPES BOWIE STATE WITH AN 81-78 VICTORY OVER LADY BULLDOGS
GLENVILLE STATE ESCAPES BOWIE STATE WITH AN 81-78 VICTORY OVER LADY BULLDOGS
BOWIE, Md. – Sophomore Jasmine McIntosh recorded her first double-double of the season, leading the Lady Bulldogs with 18 points and 11 rebounds, but Glenville State escapes Bowie State with the 81-78 victory.
“I was truly impressed and can’t be disappointed about the overall effort of the ladies tonight”, said second-year head coach Renard Smith. “We had some second chance opportunities down the stretch but just couldn’t convert.”
Bowie State jumped out to a 12 point lead, 17-5 with 13:23 left to play in the first half, but Glenville State would battle back. McIntosh was responsible for nine of the Lady Bulldogs’ points during that opening game run.
The Lady Pioneers would re-take the lead, 29-28, at the 6:32 mark when Kenyell Goodson hit a deep three pointer. Glenville State would end up taking a 12 point lead into halftime, 53-41. The Lady Pioneers made 16 first half field goals with 13 of those coming beyond the 3-point line. In fact, Glenville State shot better behind the arc, (13-of-25) 52 percent, than they did on two point shots (3-of-18).
In the second half, Bowie State would make a strong run as they would regain the lead at 76-73 with only 3:09 left to play in the game. The Lady Bulldogs trimmed the halftime deficit to 61-60 on a free throw by McIntosh at the 12:25 mark and seized the lead on a 3-pointer by junior Brooke Miles on its next possession.
The second half would feature three ties and four lead changes with Bowie State holding a commanding 22-2 points in the paint advantage. In total, the Lady Bulldogs controlled the paint, closing out the non-conference contest with a 42-6 points in the paint advantage and 62-49 advantage on the glass.
Glenville State’s Ginny Mills tied the game at 76-76 on her sixth three-pointer of the night and the Lady Pioneers would not trail again. Glenville State closed out the game with five straight free throws.
The Lady Pioneers bench would out score Bowie State’s bench 52 to 20 as Glenville ran substitutes in and out of the game (five and a time) the majority of the night.
Mills led Glenville State with a game-high 23 points and pulled down six rebounds and handed out three assists. Kenyell Goodson scored 15 points in the victory while Ashleigh Fossett went three for three from behind the three point line and went two for two from the free throw line scoring 11 points each. Kenyona Simmons led the visitors with seven rebounds, while Jessica Parsons led the team with four assists.
Sophomore Bria Robinson just missed a double-double, scoring 16 points to go along with eight rebounds and personal season-highs of four assists three blocks. Junior Moriah Goodman and senior Cortney Baynard both chipped in with 10 points.
The Lady Bulldogs close out the first semester home portion of their schedule on Thursday (December 6), hosting the Rams of Shepherd University at 6 pm.
Watch out for the raspberry ketone fad
Raspberry Ketones:
New Miracle Treatment — or Latest Fad?
The raspberry ketone diet craze is sweeping the nation, and now there's talk that it not only works for losing weight, it's a cancer treatment, too!
Is it just a fad, or is there something to this? There's reason to be hopeful, but also reason to be careful. Let's take a look ...

Naturally wipe out the cancer like it was a common cold?
That's what one woman in Delaware was able to do — in only three weeks! And it was no fluke. It all started with this secret... that for 21 years has been helping people detect their cancer early — and it's 99% accurate. The medical community either doesn't know about it or chooses to ignore it. But you can get the details HERE.

What are ketones in the first place?
Raspberries themselves have always been considered part of a healthy diet, given that they're high in antioxidants and low in calories. And ketones come from red raspberries, though they're also found in cranberries and blackberries.
Raspberry ketones are the primary aromatic compound of the red raspberry — in plain English, ketones are the elements that give off that delicious raspberry smell you find in soft drinks and ice creams. You can have the scent without actually having the fruit.
In fact, you can't get a significant dose of ketones from eating raspberries. You'd need to eat roughly 90 pounds worth of fruit to get the same concentration found in ketone supplements.
Chemically, raspberry ketones are biosynthesized from coumaroyl-CoA, which is a key compound in plant chemicals called flavonoids. Ketones are also considered antioxidants, and have a structure similar to capsaicin (that's what gives chili peppers their spice) and synephrine, which is a natural alternative to ephedrine, often used in weight loss supplements.
Both capsaicin and synephrine have shown promise as anti-obesity treatments. (Capsaicin is something we've covered before in our newsletter — see Issue 23 and Issue 156.)
Besides medicinal uses and flavorings, raspberry ketone is used in makeup and as a fragrance. Some people even consider it helpful in correcting hair loss.
Consumable raspberry ketone is a manufactured product and retails through a variety of supplement makers.

Fat-busting ketones
Raspberry ketones got a lot of lip service last February after being featured on the Dr. Oz show. The segment was titled "Miracle fat-burner in a bottle" (and who doesn't love that idea?). Stores couldn't keep up with the demand that followed.
A lot of the excitement comes from mice studies where the animals were put on a high-fat diet and given significant doses of ketones for 10 weeks. The mice that got the high ketone doses accumulated less fat than the control group. They also appeared to have a significant increase in fat decomposition.
Because of those animal studies, it's believed that raspberry ketones might help with metabolism. The theory is that they affect a hormone called adiponectin which helps regulate glucose levels and the breakdown of fatty acids.
Some healers refer to adiponectin as a fat-burning hormone that helps enhance sensitivity to insulin and decrease blood sugar levels. It's also known to increase lean body mass.
Adiponectin levels are mostly determined by diet, exercise, genetics, and the amount of abdominal fat a person has. It's believed that by increasing adiponectin, the body is better able to regulate metabolism and keep stored-up fat in check.
But if we overeat or quit exercising, adiponectin levels get overwhelmed by the amount of calories that need to be metabolized. That's when love handles and belly fat start to build.

Ketones and cancer prevention
Here's where the cancer connection comes in. When adiponectin levels start to drop, the risk for diabetes, heart disease, and obesity-related cancers goes up. The chance of developing malignancies also goes up.
On top of that, several cancer cell lines have adiponectin receptors. And in vitro tests of adiponectin showed that it limits cancer cell proliferation and prompts apoptosis (cell death).
Researchers have also found that the less adiponectin a woman has, the greater her risk of endometrial cancer and -- if she's post-menopausal -- breast cancer. And because low adiponectin is also associated with insulin resistance — that early warning sign of diabetes -- and insulin resistance helps determine obesity, a drop in adiponectin levels may mean a rise in dysfunctional fat tissue that could lead to cancer.
So it's clear that adiponectin plays a role both in determining cancer risk and may point toward a possible treatment. Plus, medications that increase adiponectin levels are proving to be useful as anticancer agents. So in terms of understanding and treating obesity-associated malignancies, adiponectin could be an important key.
If raspberry ketones are the best natural vehicle we have for upping adiponectin levels, that's great news. But we don't quite know that yet...

So far, so good — but there's not enough evidence
A problem right now is that high-profile endorsements with little scientific backing are giving raspberry ketones a pretty bad name. From what I understand, they may help you get off a weight-loss plateau or get back on track with your weight loss goals, but they aren't a miracle drug in terms of obesity.
Something to keep in mind is that raspberry ketones aren't considered effective on their own. You've still got to follow a healthy diet and lifestyle if you want to realize the benefits of this supplement. They aren't a magic bullet. They're just one part of a plan to lose weight.
What's more, there are other natural ways to increase your adiponectin levels, besides raspberry ketone supplementation. Exercise and diet go a long way. As I mentioned above, adiponectin levels fall too low in the first place because we eat too much and we're too inactive.
Other tips for increasing adiponectin levels include drinking coffee and taking sweet potato extract or the herbal supplement berberine. Again -- the science of manipulating adiponetin levels is too new to say much more.
If you decide to take the plunge anyway, what dose of ketones should you take? Turns out it's not easy to say. It depends on basic factors like age and general health along with preexisting conditions.
Little is known about side effects (if any) of raspberry ketones. We need more research, as usual. Some medical professionals worry about the connection between raspberry ketones and synephrine, given that synephrine is a stimulant. It's known to cause the jitters at least or high blood pressure at worst.
That leaves the whole safety issue up in the air, although the FDA gave raspberry ketones GRAS status (generally recognized as safe) over forty years ago. I suspect they were looking at small doses used as a food flavoring; they probably weren't considering large, therapeutic doses.
I'm no expert, but this isn't rocket science: If you find yourself feeling too wired or you're having insomnia, cut back on your dose or stop altogether.
Raspberry ketones hold a lot of promise as an herbal medicine for several processes that underlie disease. I look forward to learning more as new findings come out.

COLD SECOND HALF SHOOTING LEADS TO 60-40 HOME DEBUT LOSS TO UNIVERSITY OF D.C.
COLD SECOND HALF SHOOTING LEADS TO 60-40 HOME DEBUT LOSS TO UNIVERSITY OF D.C.
BOWIE, MD – The home debut for Bowie State University did not result in a positive outcome, as the Firebirds flew past the Lady Bulldogs 60-40. The loss, Bowie State’s third in a row, drops the Lady Bulldogs overall record to 2-3.
The University of the District of Columbia (4-3) soared to a 24-7 lead over the first 11 minutes of play and finished with a 21-6 flourish over the final eight minutes of play.
UDC's Janelle Junior led all scorers with 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the field (3-of-7 from behind-the-arc) and 3-of-4 from the foul line. Erika Brent was also a major offensive force with 17 points and eight rebounds. Tajruba Baldwin-Kallore added eight points while Robin Keke pulled down a team-best nine rebounds.
Bowie State, which shot just 12-of-58 from the field (21-percent) and 3-of-20 from three-point range (15-percent), was led by junior Moriah Goodman (eight points, five rebounds) and sophomore Jasmine McIntosh (six points, 12 rebounds).
The Firebirds connected on three of their first four three-point field goals of the day as they raced out to a commanding 24-7 lead by the 8:55 mark of the first half. Junior and Baldwin-Kollore led the way with six points apiece during that stretch. But back came Bowie State, as sophomore Bria Robinson scored five points to lead the Bulldogs on a 10-0 run to cut the Firebird lead to seven with just under four minutes left to play in the half. That seven point margin would stick with the District of Columbia heading into halftime with a 28-21 lead.
In the second half, the Firebird lead hovered between four and nine points for the majority of the second half until UDC blew the game open with a 21-6 outburst over the final 8:26. Clinging to a 39-34 lead after a pair of free-throws by BSU senior Jasmine Jacobs, Robin Keke scored the next three consecutive points followed by a layup by Teara Shaw to quickly up the Firebirds lead to 10 with a little over six minutes left to play. Junior and Brent then combined for 16 points, including the final six points of the afternoon.
The University of the District of Columbia held a 40-percent to 21-percent field goal shooting advantage and fared much better, 42-percent (5-of-12) to 15-percent (3-of-20) from three-point range. The Firebirds also held a 43-37 rebounding edge and more than doubled-up the Bulldogs in points in the paint, 24-10.
