SECOND HALF RUN PUSHES BOWIE STATE TO HUGE 84-80 WIN OVER JOHNSON C. SMITH



BOWIE, Md. – The Bowie State University Bulldogs used a huge second half run to claim an 84-80, cross-divisional contest against Johnson C. Smith. The victory improves Bowie State 5-6 overall and 1-1 in the conference. JCSU’s Golden Bulls move to 7-5 overall and 0-2 in the CIAA.

“We did a tremendous job defending in the second half” said an elated Bowie State head coach Darrell Brooks. “We didn’t press full court as much tonight as we normally do, but we thrive off of turnovers that lead into fast breaks.”

The opening half was close early until JCSU grasped an advantage. BSU scored the first five points, but JCSU’s Terrence Washington (Charleston, SC) put the Golden Bulls on the scoreboard with a layup. After about seven and half minutes of play, the contest reached its third tie off a jumper from Trevin Parks (Hickory, NC) of the Golden Bulls.

Following the jumper, Parks hit two free throws to give Johnson C. Smith a 20-18 lead. From there, the Golden Bulls had plenty of success feeding Emilio Parks (Ashtabula, OH) in the post. Bowie State went into the locker room at halftime trailing 51-43. The Bulldogs were outscored 34-18 in the paint for the first half.

The Parks’ duo combined for 28 points in the initial period. Trevin had 16 points off 83% (5-of-6) shooting and Emilio had 12 points shooting 75% (6-of-8) from the field. Washington added eight points to the first half total. Johnson C. Smith shot 63.6% (21-of-33) from the floor as a team, compared to 48% (16-of-35) for Bowie State.

Bulldogs senior Najee White (Jamaica Queens, N.Y.) led the Bulldogs with 17 points, followed by the leading scorer in NCAA Division II Byron Westmorland (Baltimore, Md.) with 12 points.

Johnson C. Smith stayed on the attack initially in the second half. After an old fashion three-point play from Robert Williams (Atlanta, GA), the Golden Bulls held a 64-51 advantage with 13:56 remaining. Bowie State turned the tides from that point with a 19-0 run over the next six minutes to regain the lead for good at 70-64. Prior to BSU’s burst, the last time the Bulldogs led was at the 13:33 mark of the first half.

The Golden Bulls got within two (76-74) with 3:05 left to play, but would not get any closer. Bowie State was able to close out the game from the foul line for the win.

Trevin Parks had a team-high 24 points, but he also had nine turnovers. Emilio Parks concluded with a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds. Williams added 13 points and four assists, while Washington had a contribution of 10 points, four rebounds, and a game-high four blocks.

White had a game-high 27 points to lead the Bulldogs, followed by a career-night by junior Ray Gatling (Oxon Hill, Md.) with 21. Westmorland ended the night 14 points.

Johnson C. Smith only shot 32% (8-of-25) from the field in the second half, including 0-6 from the three point line.

Bowie State closes out its three-game home stand Monday, January 7th versus the defending CIAA Champions of Winston-Salem State University. Tip-off is slated for 7:30 p.m. in the A.C. Jordan Arena.

JOHNSON C. SMITH WOMEN STEAL A 63-61 VICTORY OVER BOWIE STATE


 BOWIE, Md. - The Bowie State University women’s basketball team fell just short in a, 63-61, loss to visiting Johnson C. Smith Saturday evening at the A.C. Jordan Arena.

With the defeat, the Lady Bulldogs fell to 4-6 overall and 1-1 in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association while the Lady Golden Bulls improved to 5-7 and 3-1 in the CIAA.

Junior Brooke Miles (Upper Marlboro, Md.) led the way for Bowie State with 19 points, including going 5-for-7 from behind the three-point arc. Sophomore Jasmine McIntosh (Bowie, Md.) recorded her third BSU career double-double scoring 15 points and tied her season-high in rebounds with 12. McIntosh’s 12 rebounds also tied for game-high honors.

“It really wasn’t a good night for us but we’ll hopefully learn from this setback”, said Bowie State head coach Renard Smith.

The Lady Bulldogs controlled most of the game, leading by nine at the half. But the Lady Golden Bulls held the Lady Bulldogs to just six points over the next 5:41 while closing the deficit to, 46-41.

The Lady Bulldogs held the lead, 61-59, with 35 seconds remaining but Lady Golden Bulls’ LaKendra Wilkerson (Greensboro, N.C.) closed the game strong and tied the game, 61-61, with two free throws following a defensive rebound that she grabbed.

Wilkerson was her team’s workhorse as she went 10-for-12 from the free throw line and scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.

Prior to Wilkerson’s game-tying free throws, the Lady Bulldogs took their last lead of the game when BSU’s Miles hit a three-pointer with 53 seconds remaining to give her team a two-point advantage.

Johnson C. Smith sealed the game when Wilkerson hit two free throws with one second remaining to put her team up, 63-61, following Bowie State junior Moriah Goodman’s fifth foul and disqualification.

JCSU’s Brittany Dorsett (Winston-Salem, N.C.) scored a game-high 20 points in 40 minutes. Deanna Downer (Elberton, Ga.) chipped in 13 points, seven from the free throw line where the Lady Golden Bulls shot 81.8 percent (18-22) in the second half.

Lady Bulldogs’ sophomore Bria Robinson (Richmond, Va.) added 13 points in 22 minutes of action.

The Lady Bulldogs wrap up a three game home stand Monday (January 7th) evening against Winston-Salem State. The Lady Rams and Lady Bulldogs are set for a 5:30 pm start.

Most dangerous food additive on earth is in 6,000 products

icon

"Safe" Ingredient Found in 6,000 Products
Can Lead to Cancer, Seizures,
Holes in Your Brain, and more


    Enjoying any of 6,000 popular foods and beverages can lead to leukemia, multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphomas… along with brain, kidney, liver and lung cancers. These products contain what I call the most dangerous single food additive on earth.

    I'm basing that charge on the largest human study ever on the subject — based on over two million person-years worth of data. Keep reading and I'll identify this deadly chemical and give you the shocking new findings. . .

Continued below. . .


The Blood Pressure Lie EXPOSED!
    If you've been told you have high blood pressure, you're probably scared to death.

    It is called "the silent killer."

    With a name like that, it has to scare you.

    And, if that's not scary enough, you were probably told to start taking a blood pressure drug immediately.

    But, that wasn't all, was it? I bet you had to go and see a cardiologist next.

    And, did the cardiologist tell you that if one drug didn't bring your pressure down, you might have to take a second drug at the same time? Often, there's even a third drug.

    I know how the system works. I've been fighting against it for you for almost 30 years.

    And, I know you don't want to be part of that group who's taking blood pressure medication for the rest of their lives.

    So I'll let you in on a little secret...


    It's a safe guess that every American man, woman, and child has consumed aspartame at one time or another. More than 250 million people drink beverages containing this deadly chemical because they actually think it's a healthy choice!

    The facts say otherwise: these people are boosting their cancer risk far beyond anything you'd imagine. It's proven by a new study released by Harvard and then almost immediately scrubbed from the Internet. It appears that powerful interests want to protect aspartame from any criticism.
The dreadful consequences of a "safe" food choice
    This mega-study revealed some downright frightening results. As little as one diet soda a day leads to:
  • 42% higher leukemia risk (men and women)
  • 102% higher multiple myeloma risk (men only)
  • 31% higher non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk (men only)
    Researchers analyzed data from the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study gathered over a 22-year period. It included 77,218 women and 47,810 men, for a total of 2,278,396 person-years of data. That certainly seems like enough data to give us meaningful results.

    The study identified over this 22 year period:
  • 1,324 non-Hodgkin lymphomas,
  • 285 multiple myelomas, and
  • 339 cases of leukemia.
    Aside from its sheer size (the largest aspartame study ever), this study was particularly thorough in its analysis of aspartame consumption. They evaluated dietary information every two years during the 22 year period, instead of at just one point in time.

    And make no mistake… Americans consume a LOT of aspartame — 10.5 million pounds per year -- eighty-six percent of which is from diet soda.
Previous studies — slammed by critics —
were absolutely right
    Several studies over a period of years found a link between aspartame consumption and cancer. But they were often criticized as too small, too short, or poorly constructed.

    This study puts those doubts to rest.

    And the results are not exactly surprising. But they are disturbing. Consider what we already new before this large-scale human study was released. . .

    One previous rat study found that of 48 experimental rats, up to 67% of all female rats developed golf ball sized (or larger) tumors. And 21% of the males developed similar cancerous growths.

    An Italian study connected aspartame intake to lymphomas, leukemia, and kidney cancer. This study confirmed aspartame as a carcinogen affecting multiple sites in both rats (males and females) and mice (males only).1
"The truth isn't sweet when it
comes to artificial sweeteners."
    So screamed the headline of the Brigham and Women's Hospital (Harvard Medical School) press release about a link between aspartame and cancers, especially blood cancers. Then suddenly they got cold feet and scrubbed the story.

    They also issued an "apology", stating that the data were "too weak to find a causal link".

    None of this is too surprising. If it becomes established that aspartame causes cancer, it could be equivalent to the long-running scandals over tobacco or asbestos. Can you imagine the frenzy of litigation against food and beverage makers? The lawsuits will never end.
Don't ignore a 22-year study of 125,000+ people
    Don't take a chance and ignore a large-scale, long-term study like this one that shows a link between aspartame and blood cancers.

    The long-term aspect is critically important, because one of the tricks industry uses to hide product toxicity is short term tests. Short-term studies reveal nothing about long-term risks. Based solely on short-term trials, the industry can get away with claiming aspartame is one of the most studied food additives ever, with no health concerns. And it's all blessed by the FDA.

    The reality is they never study the long-term effects, and those remain largely unknown till a product has been on the market for years — even decades — and the horrible consequences start showing up.

    As proof of that, shortly after the release and retraction of the Harvard study, the beverage industry quickly stated that aspartame has been "deemed safe for decades by the world's leading toxicologists".

    Unfortunately, most people don't know how short and poorly designed these industry-funded studies are, and the media choose not to tell you. So it's easy to be deceived.
Well-guarded secrets of a scary molecule
    Aspartame is the name of the active ingredient in artificial sweeteners like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure.

    It was accidentally discovered in 1965 when James Schlatter, chemist for the G. D. Searle Company, was testing an anti-ulcer drug.

    It turned out his discovery is some 200 times sweeter than table sugar, and was approved for dry foods in 1981 and carbonated beverages in 1983. Now get this: Already in the 1960s aspartame was labeled a dangerous chemical and shown to create holes in brain tissue and to cause brain and nerve damage in developing fetuses. But wait, there's more: Researchers also knew it causes cancer, migraines, headaches, seizures, convulsions, and even retinal damage.

    Anything this dangerous should have been removed from the market many years ago!

    It actually was removed for a time after initial approval, when Dr. John Olney of the Washington School of Medicine discovered that aspartic acid — a major aspartame ingredient — caused holes in the brains of animal subjects.

    There's a whole long and sordid story to be told about questionable lab practices, an FDA grand jury investigation of studies and more, but space prohibits its telling here and now. Interestingly, one of the government's prosecuting attorneys later joined the law firm representing Searle.
Don't trust the FDA to protect your health…
    One can only guess about the political shenanigans involved in gaining approval for aspartame.

    Finally, after the FDA received over 8,000 complaints about NutraSweet's side effects, a list of possible side effects was made public. Besides cancer and tumors, including brain cancer, aspartame is linked to a long laundry list of problems. I won't list them all here, but if you or a loved one suffer any symptoms or vexing health issues that won't resolve, it may be worth examining your diet for hidden aspartame.

    Be forewarned, to this day the FDA still denies a cancer link. By the time they admit it (if ever), it will be too late for you.

    Many chronic conditions are linked to aspartame:
  • Memory loss
  • Alzheimer's disease
  • Dementia
  • Brain lesions
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • ALS
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Epilepsy
  • Hearing loss and vision problems
    We can hardly overstate the risk to infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and anyone with chronic health conditions. The book Prescription for Nutritional Healing by James and Phyllis Balch, lists aspartame as a "chemical poison". I'll show you in a moment just how true that is.

    But first, the acute conditions in the following list may also be linked to aspartame. Take a look and see if any of these shoes fit your feet. . .
  • Hallucinations
  • Infertility
  • Diarrhea
  • Seizures
  • Depression
  • Migraine and headaches
  • Fatigue (blocks glucose from entering brain)
  • Insomnia
  • Nausea and abdominal pain
  • Sleep problems
  • Asthma and chest tightness
  • Heart palpitations
  • Weight gain
  • Rashes
    Many of these conditions can also lead to early death.
Danger: brain damage ahead…
    Aspartame is comprised of three chemicals — aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol.

    Aspartic acid, an amino acid also called aspartate, is a neurotransmitter in your brain. Its big problems come when taken in free form (not bound to proteins).

    Aspartate slowly destroys your neurons. Seventy-five percent of the neural cells in one area of your brain can be killed before you show any clinical symptoms of chronic illness. No wonder one key complaint from aspartame use is memory loss!

    Dr. Russell Blaylock, leading neurologist and neurosurgery professor at the Medical University of Mississippi, published an entire book detailing the damage caused by aspartate. He uses 500 scientific references to show the link to serious chronic neurological disorders.

    Phenylalanine is also an amino acid. Diet soda must carry a label warning people with phenylketonuria (PKU) not to drink it, because they cannot metabolize phenylalanine. But even those without PKU can experience a dangerous buildup of phenylalanine — leading to plummeting serotonin levels, depression, anxiety, and violent rages.

    One especially alarming account of the effects of spiked phenylalanine levels was documented in the Wednesday Journal article, "An Aspartame Nightmare." John Cook drank six to eight diet drinks daily.

    His symptoms began with memory loss and frequent headaches, and then moved to violent rages and severe mood swings. He didn't have PKU, yet a blood test showed a phenylalanine level of 80 mg/dl. (Safe levels of phenylalanine are under 10 mg/dl.) He also showed brain damage and abnormal brain function.

    When he cut aspartame from his diet, his symptoms improved.

    Methanol (aka wood alcohol) is a deadly poison. You may have heard of methanol as the poison that causes some "skid row" alcoholics to end up blind or dead.

    Methanol breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde in your body. Formaldehyde is a deadly neurotoxin and a known carcinogen. It also causes retinal damage, interferes with DNA replication, and causes birth defects.

    Even the EPA calls methanol "a cumulative poison due to the low rate of excretion." EPA recommends a limit of 7.8 mg/day, yet a one-liter beverage (or 3 cans of diet soda) contains 56 mg of methanol. Heavy users may consume up to 250 mg per day — a staggering 32 times the EPA limit.
More dangerous for people than for test animals
    Due to your lack of a couple key enzymes that digest methanol — enzymes that lab animals have but you don't -- you're much more sensitive to its toxins than animals.

    In humans, ,methanol converts to formaldehyde via an enzyme called ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase). This enzyme is more active in men than in women, which may explain the association between diet soda consumption and higher lymphoma and multiple myeloma in men, but not women.

    Methanol absorption spikes when heated to 86 degrees. This may occur when a product is improperly stored (diet drinks sitting in hot sun), or as part of a food product such as Jello.

    Another byproduct of aspartame is Diketopiperazine (DKP), implicated in brain tumors. Olney noted that DKP in the gut produces a powerful brain-tumor-causing chemical.

    DKP is also implicated as a cause of uterine polyps and blood cholesterol by FDA toxicologist Dr. Jacqueline Verrett (in her testimony before the U.S. Senate).
Don't drink it or eat it,
no matter how safe they claim it is!
    Don't believe the party line about aspartame safety. Avoid all products that contain it. I eat almost no processed or manufactured foods myself, and I don't drink sodas at all, regular or diet. If you give up aspartame-sweetened sodas, for heaven's sake don't go back to the ones with sugar or high fructose corn syrup. They're even worse.

    And it's not all about sodas. Considering that aspartame is hidden in 6,000 products*, check out the footnote below for a list. Aspartame is in a great many consumer items you might not think of, such as children's Tylenol, certain vitamins, laxatives (Metamucil), pharmaceuticals**…

    It pays to become an astute label reader and questioner!

    Janet Starr Hull, who holds a doctorate in nutrition, says about the latest aspartame reports,
I will never accept the news of aspartame safety. I think it is a 'business' decision to discredit/discount the research results that aspartame DOES cause cancer, major nerve disorders, birth defects, and brain imbalances. Think about it… can you imagine the chaos that will occur when the truth of aspartame dangers is accredited…
    Perhaps you're thinking it's worth the risk of cancer to keep your weight down? Don't count on it. There's evidence that aspartame causes people to gain weight, not lose it!
* Foods besides soda which may contain aspartame:
  • Mints, chewing gum, hard candies, soft candy chews
  • Flavored syrups for coffee, flavored water products
  • Frozen ice cream, ice cream novelties and frozen ice, ice cream toppings
  • Fruit spreads, jams/jellies
  • Jell-O and pudding
  • Iced tea powder and ready to drink, instant cocoa mix
  • Juice blends and drinks
  • Mousse
  • Syrups
  • Meal replacements, protein nutritional shakes, protein and nutritional bars,
  • "No sugar added" and "Sugar Free" — any food!
  • Veggie drinks
  • Yogurt — drinkable, fat free, sugar free

Bowie State Men's Basketball Post Game Story


BOWIE STATE FALTERS IN 85-72 CONFERENCE OPENING LOSS TO LIVINGSTONE


BOWIE, Md. - Livingstone College (9-1 / 1-0 CIAA) shot 56 percent from the floor in the second half and 24 second points by Jody Hill (Detroit, Mich.) make the difference as Bowie State University drops conference opener 85-72. 

“Give credit to Livingstone, but we simply lost focus, especially in the second half”, said Bowie State head coach Darrell Brooks. “We knew Hill was a good shooter coming in, but we had some coverage errors that gave him some good, comfortable looks.”

Bowie State (4-6 / 0-1 CIAA) was led senior Najee White with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds and fellow senior Byron Westmorland with 21 points.  Senior Dameatric Scott fell just short of a double-double, contributing 14 points and nine rebounds.  

The Livingstone Blue Bears led only once in the first half (3-2) before Bowie State opened a 12 point lead twice at 24-12 and 26-14. The Blue Bears would not go away, cutting the deficit to 38-34 by halftime. Omar Ford-Bey (Chester, Pa.), Eladio Espinoza (Summit, N.J.) and Mark Thomas (Saginaw, Mo.) led Livingstone with nine points each in the first period.

Westmorland, junior Carlos Smith and White combined for 26 first half points to lead the Bulldogs, but Bowie State committed nine of their season-tying 22 turnovers in the first 20 minutes.

Livingstone trimmed the Bowie State lead to 40-39 early in the second half following a pair of free throws by Ford-Bey. A Hill 3-pointer with 12:22 remaining in the game created the only tie at 48-48. The Blue Bears slowed pulled away, opening up a 69-59 double-digit lead with 6:05 left to play and were never threatened after that.

In addition to Hill’s game-high 26 points, Thomas added 17 points, Ford-Bey (15) and Espinoza (12 points). Anthony Welch swatted away a game-high five shots for Livingstone.

Neither team shot well from the charity stripe, with Livingstone making 25-of-41 free throws compared to Bowie State’s 19-of-30 from the free throw line.

When asked about Bowie State’s inability to get stops down the stretch, Brooks said “We’re a full court pressing team, but tonight we didn’t do a good job rotationally”.

The Bulldogs welcome Johnson C. Smith to BSU's A.C. Jordan Arena for a 7:30 pm conference clash on Saturday (January 5).

Bowie State Women's Basketball Post Game Story


KAMMERA JOHNSON CAREER-NIGHT LEADS BOWIE STATE TO 76-61 VICTORY OVER LIVINGSTONE


BOWIE, Md. – Junior transfer Kammera Johnson (Louisburg College) scored a career-high 21 points and added a game-best six assists to lead Bowie State to a 76-61 home conference victory over Livingstone College. The win sets the Lady Bulldogs record at 1-0 in the CIAA (4-5 overall) while the Lady Blue Bears slip to 4-6 (0-1 CIAA). 

Junior Brooke Miles came off the bench to add 12 points and the duo of senior Jasmine Jacobs and sophomore Jasmine McIntosh chipped in 11 points each. Miles added a four assists, three rebounds, a block and one steal. McIntosh hit 4-of-6 field goals, which included three 3-pointers, to go along with five rebounds.

“It’s great to start the conference portion of the schedule with a win”, said second-year head coach Renard Smith. “Our game plan was refuse to lose tonight and we did that”!

For Livingstone, Ashley Walker (Washington, D.C.) recorded a team-high 18 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Cierra York (Winston-Salem, N.C.) was the only other Lady Blue Bears player to score in double figures, tallying 13 points, seven rebounds and a team-high four assists.

In Bowie State’s most recent contest, the Lady Bulldogs shot 47.1 percent from the floor, converting 24-of-51 field goal attempts. Of the 24 Bowie State field goals, a season-best 17 were beyond the arc. On the other side of the stat sheet, Livingstone made 20-of-59 from the field (33.9 percent).

Livingstone led 31-29 at intermission, as six players found the scoring column. York topped the charts with 10 points. Kelcyn Manurs (Reston, VA) added seven, while Tiffany Evans (Durham, NC), Ashley Walker (Washington, D.C.) and Jasmine Murray (Washington, D.C.) added four points each. Kendra McKinney (Daleville, Ala.) scored two points in the first 20 minutes.

Livingstone opened the second stanza with a 17-6 run, concluding the flurry on a Evans layup with 15:59 remaining. Walker was personally responsible for 10 points in the spurt, as the Lady Blue Bears took a 48-35 advantage.

Bowie State remained calm and regained the lead (59-58) for good at the 8:03 mark on a 3-pointer by McIntosh. Six of the eight Lady Bulldogs field goals during the run were of the 3-point variety. Bowie State pushed the lead to 10 points (68-58) on another McIntosh 3-point field goal at the 4:22 mark and cruised to the victory the rest of the way.

Livingstone dominated in the paint, holding a 28-6 advantage. In addition to BSU’s season-highs in assists, the Lady Bulldogs set season-highs in field goal percentage (47.1), 3-point field goal percentage (63.0) and assists (18).

Bowie State returns to the court Saturday (January 5), hosting the Lady Golden Bulls of Johnson C. Smith University at 5:30 pm.
