BOWIE, Md. – The Bowie State University softball team will begin their 2013 season Friday (February 15) in the Lady Bears Challenge, hosted by Shaw University. The Lady Bulldogs will play five games over three days.
Bowie State will open play on Friday against Fairmont State University at 5 pm, before squaring off against Saint Augustine’s University at 11 am and Fayetteville State University at 3 pm on Saturday (February 16). The Lady Bulldogs will close out the weekend on Sunday (February 17) versus Shaw at 11 am and Ohio Valley University at 1 pm.
The Lady Bulldogs enter the 2013 campaign under first-year head coach Ashley Cook. Cook was a member of two BSU CIAA Championship teams in 2007 and 2009.
Bowie State returns three starters and three letterwinners from last year’s squad. Linda Hamel and Khourtni Hester will serve as assistant coaches.
Highlighting the returnees is sophomore outfielder Cassandra Clayborne (Damascus, Md.) who is the team’s top returning hitter after batting .389 last season. She led the team in runs scored (46), stolen bases (16) and at bats (126) in 2012. For her efforts, Clayborne was selected as the CIAA Rookie of the Year and member of the All-CIAA First Team and CIAA All-Rookie Team. Other Bowie State returnees include sophomores Hayley Flint (Mesa, Ariz.) and Kiara Washington (Bowie, Md.).
The Lady Bulldogs also welcome newcomers Erica Atkins (Burtonsville, Md.), Alexis Barnes (District Heights, Md.), Jasmine Boyd (Fort Washington, Md.), Miranda Luna (Upper Marlboro, Md.), Kyerra Martin (Rockville, Md.), Aurikshana Ratliff (Rosedale, Md.) and Erica Whitehead (Odenton, Md.).
Senior pitcher Megan Alexander (Damascus, Md.) and junior outfielder Aiyana McNair (Baltimore, Md.) make a return to the softball team after taking a year away from the game.

(PHYS, September 1999) You've heard that the guys are hunks and the juice bar is happening. Great, but that's no way to choose a gym. If health and safety are your prime considerations and they should be here are a few guidelines from Randy Delaney, director of personal fitness at World Gym in New York City:
Proper ventilation. The air should feel cool and smell fresh, not like sweaty bodies.
Good lighting. Incandescent bulbs are easier on the eyes than fluorescent.
Enough room. A crammed layout is not safe. Or fun.
Cleanliness. No stained mats or grubby bathrooms.
Well-maintained machines. You don't have to be a mechanic to tell if benches are torn, cables seem worn, or free weights are haphazardly scattered around.
A qualified staff. Employees should be certified by a nationally recognized organization like ACE (American Council on Exercise), ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) or AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America). They should be helpful and findable. One instructor can't monitor more than 30 people at once and the pool should always have at least one lifeguard. A new member should get a free orientation, but later on, it may be worth springing for a few sessions with a private trainer.

This Gentle, Warming Treatment Coaxes Cancer Out of Your Body
Infrared energy is getting a lot more buzz these days, which comes as no surprise. We've all experienced the soothing effects of bright sunlight on a cold, wintry day. We feel this energy as it gets absorbed by anything it touches. It's comfortable, natural heat with proven regenerative effects. That's why infrared saunas are proving to be such potent disease-fighting tools—they combine the best of what we love here at Cancer Defeated: Natural treatment that stimulates your body's built-in immune function. This is a super-treatment — profoundly effective and completely harmless. Keep reading to find out more... Continued below. . .

They're frustrating. But they're certainly no joke. The mental lapses you laugh off today might be red alerts of serious brain changes that can steal away your memory and independence tomorrow. Click here to learn how to supercharge your brain and protect your memory...
What's so impressive about infrared saunas is that they take care of four of the biggest offenders that come with a cancer diagnosis: Toxins, stress, circulation, and pain. Managing all four is essential to a successful treatment/prevention regimen. I've talked about infrared saunas before (see Issue #51). They're known to help fight cancer, reduce blood pressure, relieve pain, reverse heart disease, and promote weight loss, plus a host of other health benefits. I think the topic is worth revisiting.
Detoxification: The key to revitalized health
We're not the first to figure this out. Saunas have been around for centuries, first invented by the Finns. In fact, the word sauna is an ancient Finnish word that refers to the traditional Finnish bathhouse. The Finns used the sauna to promote sweating—and more: It's a place to cleanse the mind and energize the spirit. Even today, saunas are a part of daily life for most people who live in Finland.
The simple explanation for the rich array of sauna-health benefits is that a heated sauna causes your body's core temperature to rise. Your blood vessels dilate, increasing blood flow throughout your body. The circulating blood spreads heat throughout your body, which moves toward the surface of your skin. This prompts your body to begin sweating in an effort to cool off. Sweat is one of your body's natural cleansing processes. It releases toxins.
Toxin-release aside, saunas help you look and feel better. They provide a warm and quiet place to relax without distraction, and that relieves stress. The heat relaxes your muscles. The high temperatures also release endorphins, those body chemicals that make you feel happy and bring about general pain relief.
Saunas also induce a very deep sleep if used before bedtime. When your body temperature rises and then falls, it facilitates sleep.
Saunas also help improve cardiovascular performance. With regular sauna use, you can strengthen your heart muscles for better cardiovascular output. The sweating and increased heart rate you get from a sauna session actually replicate some of the benefits of a traditional workout.
Infrared vs. traditional saunas
Traditional saunas use heat to raise the air temperature, which in turn heats the surface of the skin. They generally do this with conventional heat that approaches temperatures as high as 200 degrees Fahrenheit or more. The high temperatures induce sweating after a session of 10 to 15 minutes. It's a dry heat though, so most folks also like to toss water on the heating element inside a traditional sauna to raise the level of humidity.
Infrared saunas, on the other hand, use light to create heat. This means your body gets heated directly without warming the air around you. It's the same as getting in your car on a sunny day in winter and finding it toasty warm. That's the effect of the infrared light from the sun. It tends to be a gentle, radiant type of heat.
Infrared sauna temperatures range from 120 degrees up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. High temperatures aren't needed since the infrared panels emit deep, penetrating, infrared heat that goes directly into your body versus the air around you. Humidity levels are similar to those you have in your house.
The type of heat emitted is due to the type of heating panels inside an infrared sauna. The infrared spectrum consists of three wavelengths (near, mid and far) and are optimized for maximum absorption by body tissue. This means your body absorbs the heat directly and it penetrates deeper—up to 1½ inches below your skin. This targeted approach produces sweat whose content is 15-20 percent toxins from your body, such as heavy metals, sulfuric acid, ammonia, uric acid and fat-soluble toxins. Compare this to sweat from a traditional sauna which was shown to be only 3 percent toxins and 97% water.
The lower temperatures of an infrared sauna tend to be more comfortable and soothing if you dislike the intense heat of traditional saunas. Now, don't get me wrong: You can raise the temperature of an infrared sauna to 150 degrees, if you wish. But you don't need to because they cause you to sweat more at lower temperatures.
Energy costs are not significant in either case, though you'll save with an infrared sauna. The average cost to heat a traditional sauna is 30 cents an hour (and heating takes 30 to 40 minutes). Once heated, the energy cost averages 25 cents an hour.
An infrared sauna averages 18 cents an hour when it first heats up (initial heating takes 20 to 30 minutes), followed by roughly 7 to 10 cents per hour to maintain the temperature.
Infrared sauna as a cancer therapy
The main question is whether far infrared heat works as a health tool. I think the strongest benefit comes from reducing the load of toxins in your body. Cancers that spread rapidly are hard to manage because their toxic load increases so quickly. That means constant detoxification is one of the most important things you can do, both to prevent and treat cancer.
But full spectrum and far infrared saunas offer other benefits besides detoxification. They reduce stress, reduce pain, improve circulation, lower blood pressure and boost cell health. These benefits combined make for a priceless boost to your chances of beating cancer.
There's another hidden advantage: You can burn as much as 600 calories during a 30-minute session. It's like a passive cardio workout.
Tips on buying your home infrared sauna
I find infrared saunas are more comfortable and seem to penetrate more effectively into my skin than do traditional saunas. The more advanced infrared saunas have been on the market for about 15 years and have clinical data to show health benefits. Full spectrum infrared saunas are the most recent advancement and emit near, mid and far infrared wavelengths for added benefits.
If you decide to buy one, make sure whatever you buy emits safe levels of EMF (electro magnetic fields). The National Institutes of Health states there's no evidence of risk from EMF exposure, but I'd still take precautions and reduce your risk as much as possible.
For health benefits, the most important element to consider is the heater emissivity. This determines how efficiently infrared heat is conducted and emitted. Lower-end saunas can be less than 80% efficient at emitting infrared heat. For optimal results, you'll want to ensure it is at least 95% efficient. Higher efficiency heaters give you far better results in less time.
One final thought: Sauna therapy works best as part of an integrated health program. I'd say one of the best approaches to cancer treatment and prevention is regular infrared sauna use combined with eating fresh, locally grown, organic foods, freshly squeezed vegetable juice, and plenty of sleep.
If you're interested in learning more about infrared saunas, an excellent, cutting-edge manufacturer is Sunlighten, offering clinically backed full-spectrum infrared saunas. Visit theirwebsite or call 1-877-292-0020. Another reputable (albeit more expensive) brand is TheraSauna. Infrared saunas, with their myriad health benefits, are definitely an at-home therapy option worth checking out.
Brian Wainstein, the owner of Axio Labs and GenXXL, was finally arrested in South Africa in mid-January 2013 after eluding international authorities for several years. The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) submitted an extradition request to bring Wainstein back to the States to face multiples counts of steroid distribution. Wainstein's arrest is another indicator that the war on steroids has become more aggressive. International sources should recognize that the long arm of U.S. steroid law enforcement has the ability to reach across international borders and bring major anabolic steroid dealers back to the U.S. for prosecution.
Golfer Vijay Singh has become the latest target of doping hysteria. Sports Illustrated equated Singh’s use of deer antler spray with IGF-1 doping. Deer antler may contain traces amounts of the banned hormone. But so does cow’s milk. Beef could contain the banned steroid trenbolone. Singh was bamboozled into believing he cheated by using IGF-1. If Singh cheated, so did athletes who consumed trace amounts of PEDs in milk and beef.
Sports Illustrated has created an imaginary steroid scandal involving NFL football player Ray Lewis and PGA golfer Vinjay Singh accusing them of using IGF-1 in a deer antler spray dietary supplement. Even if deer antler contained IGF-1 and EPO, oral use is not an effective method of doping. While Sports Illustrated was wasting their time investigating a non-doping doping scandal, Miami New Times blew the lid off the Biogenesis of America steroid scandal involving Alex Rodriguez.
It s difficult to believe Rob Stutzman is truly offended by Lance Armstrong s deception about his use of testosterone and erythropoeitin (EPO). Stutzman has initiated a class-action lawsuit claiming he never would have purchased Armstrong s book had he known the cyclist used steroids and PEDs. Of course, Stutzman didn t seem to be bothered by his former boss s use of steroids when he was the former deputy chief of staff for communications to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Andre Agassi was angered by Lance Armstrong s lies about the use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). Agassi told reporters at an Australian Open press conference that Armstrong s deception was unconscionable. Agassi knows what it s like to lie about drug use in order to protect his career. While Armstrong was battling testicular cancer, Agassi was getting high on crystal meth. Agassi lied to coverup a positive test for crystal meth and kept it a secret from the public for a decade.
Rabbi Chaim Friedman believes anabolic steroids are incompatible with Jewish law based on his assumption that steroids are harmful to the body. In a lecture entitled Winning at all Costs: Steroids in Sport , the South Florida Center for Jewish Ethics addressed the issue of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) on the same day that Lance Armstrong admitted using testosterone and erythropoeitin (EPO) throughout his pro cycling career.
If you have arthritis - or know someone who does - you're going to love this new arthritis-reversing discovery that puts an end to joint pain without drugs and makes replacement surgery unnecessary.
A famous M.D. tells me he's created a revolutionary non-drug treatment that halts joint inflammation ... rebuilds cartilage ... and restores mobility in 30 days or less. I have high respect for this doctor and his discovery is definitely worth a look.
It's not some "miracle" supplement, doctor- administered procedure or unsubstantiated gimmick. On the contrary, hundreds of scientific studies prove that arthritis, joint pain and degenerating immobility can indeed be reversed with this remarkable all-natural approach.
Most orthopedic surgeons will tell you it's not possible because they're only taught about painkillers and joint replacement.
But here's what one surprised doctor reported after viewing the x-rays of a patient who underwent this new arthritis-reversing treatment:
"This patient displays a remarkable recovery. His x-rays show new cartilage where there was very little just one year ago..."
All this is laid out in Dr. Stephen Sinatra's book; the 30-day plan that leads you step-by-step to an arthritis healing lifestyle.
Day by day, you'll see how to get off all those drugs and control your pain naturally, and actually re-grow soft, cushiony cartilage in your joints and between your vertebrae.
Best of all, it really works!
Arthritis Interrupteddescribes how you can be pain-free and actually reverse your arthritis.
If you don't feel a dramatic improvement in that time, return the book and we will refund your price with no questions asked.

Your Plan for Sculpted Abs
You're tired of the beer belly.
You want your love handles gone.
You dream of what it would be like to have a six pack.
On top of being less than attractive, excess belly fat increases your risk of diabetes and heart disease. While your midsection is one of the most difficult areas of the body to trim and tone, it can be done!
But it's going to take some work.
If your abs are completely hidden under an oversized belly, it takes more than just crunches to reveal toned muscle underneath. To burn off this extra layer of fat, you'll need to increase the intensity and consistency of your workouts and cut the junk out of your diet.
Get 30 to 60 minutes of challenging exercise five days each week. Call or email me to make your workouts more effective.
In addition to your regular workouts, include an ab workout every other day. What should your ab-centric workout look like?
Check out the exercises below to find what you should add to your ab routine. Choose four to eight of the following exercises and perform 15 to 20 reps of each.
The Bicycle One of the best ab workouts that also works your obliques (side muscles) and back is the bicycle. Lying on a mat, put your hands behind your head and gently support your head with your fingers. Lift your knees toward your chest and lift your shoulder blades up off the floor. Twist your body toward the right, bringing your right elbow toward your left knee as you extend your right leg out straight. Switch sides by bringing your left elbow toward your right knee and extending your left leg. Continue in this pedaling motion.
The Crunch A classic exercise known for effectively toning abs, the crunch starts as you lie on your back, bend your knees, and keep your feet flat on the floor. Bend your elbows and cross your arms over your chest. Keeping your lower back on the floor, use your ab muscles to lift your head and shoulders off the floor. Hold for three seconds, lower back to the starting position, and repeat.
Reverse Crunch Targeting a tough area to tone—your lower abs—the reverse crunch is another great abdominal muscle workout. Lying on a mat, keep your arms at your sides with your palms facing down. Lift your knees up toward your chest until your knees are bent 90 degrees. Using your abs and avoiding a rocking motion, curl your hips and lower back up off the floor, lifting your legs toward the ceiling. Hold for several seconds and then lower your hips down. Repeat.
Trunk Rotation To do a trunk rotation, you'll need a dumbbell or medicine ball. While sitting on the floor, hold the weight near your body, lean back slightly, and bend your knees so your heels touch the floor. Twist your body to the right, hold for a second, twist to the left, and then repeat, twisting to the right next.
Front Plank Planks work your abs as well as your back. Lying face down on the floor, place your forearms on the floor. Lift your body up on your forearms and toes, keeping your elbows under your shoulders. Using your core muscles, hold yourself up for as long as you can until lowering to the floor. Practice your planks until you can hold yourself up for 60 seconds or longer.
Bird Dog Another exercise that works both your abs and back is the bird dog. In a kneeling position with your hands and knees on the floor, raise your left leg up behind you until it's parallel to the floor. At the same time, lift your right arm up in front of your until it's parallel to the floor as well. Hold for a second, lower your leg and arm back to starting position, lift your right leg and left arm, and repeat.
Remember that your diet plays a huge part in getting flat, sculpted abs. Cut out all the junk from your diet by eating wholesome, real foods and drink plenty of water.
Want flat abs faster? Call or email me today and I'll get you on the fast track.
Stay Hydrated. Drink water throughout your day, rather than calorie-filled drinks.
Cut Your Carbs. Eliminate bread from your diet, as well as carb-filled snacks like pretzels or chips.
Exercise Your Abs. Perform the above ab exercises every other day.
No More Sugar. Eating sweets is the easiest way to gain fat, so avoid sugar.
Make Exercise Count. To make sure your exercise routine is effective, call or email me today.
Roasted Chicken and Veggies Dinner
Roasting a whole chicken with veggies is a wonderful meal and is much simpler to prepare than you might think. Make this recipe on the weekend and then enjoy nutritious leftovers throughout your week. Servings: 5
Here's what you need...
3 bulbs garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and pepper
4 Tablespoons coconut oil, gently melted
1 Tablespoon each minced, fresh rosemary, oregano, tarragon
1 teaspoon minced garlic
zest and juice from one lemon
4 large organic carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
3 organic zucchini, cut into 1 inch half-moons
1 cup pearl onions, ends trimmed
1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved
1 hormone-free, organic chicken
2 cups chicken broth
1 Tablespoon coconut flour
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut off the tips of each section of the garlic bulbs. Place the blubs in a small glass pan. Brush the tops with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and set aside.
In a small bowl combine the melted coconut oil, fresh herbs, minced garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice. Set 1/3 of the mixture aside for the veggies.
In a large bowl combine the carrots, zucchini, pearl onions and Brussels sprouts with 1/3 of the herb mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Rinse your chicken and pat dry. Carefully slide your hand between the skin and the breast and liberally rub some of the herb mixture. Rub the rest of the herb mixture over the top of the chicken. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and tie the legs together with kitchen string. Place the chicken on a large roasting pan, and surround it with the veggies.
Roast the chicken and veggies for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth over the chicken and veggies, and place the garlic pan in the oven off to the side.
For the next 90 minutes, pour 1/2 cup of broth over the chicken and veggies every 30 minutes as it cooks at 350 degrees F.
To see if the chicken is done, poke the tip of a sharp knife between the leg and body and see that the juices run clear. Transfer the chicken and veggies to a large platter. Add a couple of the roasted garlic bulbs to the chicken platter, reserving one for the gravy.
To make gravy: Pour all of the roasting pan juices into a skillet and bring to a simmer. Remove the garlic cloves from one of the roasted blubs and smash with a fork. Add garlic to skillet. Mix in the tablespoon of coconut flour, and whisk the gravy as it simmers. Cook for 10 minutes, or until desired thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
