Big Train College Round-Up 4/19
|
 At Florida Atlantic, Big Train players helped the Owls take three of their four games this week. At the plate, Mitch Morales (BT '12) and Ricky Santiago(BT '13) paced the Owls. Santiago went 6 for 14 with two walks and a double while Morales went 6 for 15 with a walk. They combined to score six times and drive in four. On the mound, Bo Logan (BT '12-'13) pitched 3.1 innings and gave up just three hits and no walks or runs while striking out four batters and earning a win. In relief, Hugh Adams (BT '06-'12) pitched two innings and earned yet another save for the Owls as he gave up just two hits and no walks or runs and struck out three. Two other interesting stories: Jimmy Reed (BT '10) threw 112 pitches for Maryland over nine innings against Miami (FL) last Friday night. Though he did not give up a run, the game went into extras with no runs on the board and the Terrapins lost in extra innings. Reed gave up just three hits and three walks while striking out ten batters. At UNC-Wilmington, Michael Bass(BT '11-'12) had another great week (7/18, BB, HBP, 3R, RBI, SB), but that is more of the same. The story is that his on-base streak is now up to 34 games. Other notable pitching performances: Ryan Doran (BT '12 / San Diego State) - 8.1IP, W, 0ER, 8H, 2BB, 9K... Michael Frank (BT '11 / Bowling Green) - 8IP, W, ER, 7H, BB, HBP, 2K... Michael Judge (BT '13 / Methodist (NC)) - 7IP, W, 2ER, 5H, 0BB, HBP, K)... Ricky Holden (BT '12 / UNC-Wilmington) - 4.1IP, W, 0ER, 2H, 0BB, 2K. Other notable hitting performances: Josh Leemhuis (BT '11 / George Mason) - 10/19, 3R, 10RBI, 3 2B... Brandon Gum (BT '12 / George Mason) - 4/11, BB, RBI... Adam Barry (BT '11-'12 / High Point) - 4/16, 3R, 4RBI, HR. |

Big Train College Round-Up 4/19
D.C. Divas ready for week 3 on the road
Divas Prepare for the Unknown in Baltimore
Neal Rozendaal
Washington, DC – After opening the season with two victories over longtime rivals, the DC Divas (2-0) now face a completely different challenge. The Divas will play their third road game in three weeks Saturday when they take on the expansion Central Maryland Seahawks in Baltimore.
The Divas claimed a 53-20 victory over the Columbus Comets last week, and Divas head coach Alison Fischer was satisfied with her team’s uneven but ultimately successful performance. “I was a little concerned we’d have a letdown,” Fischer admitted. “At times I think we did lose a little focus, but then we had some great moments throughout the game.”
“It’s still good to get the win,” she continued. “Columbus is one of those teams that just doesn’t quit. They keep coming at you no matter what the score is.”
Coach Fischer was particularly pleased with her team’s defense, which forced seven interceptions against Comets quarterback Crystal Davis. “We knew she puts the ball up quite a bit, and if we were going to be aggressive, we thought we could come away with some of them,” Fischer said. “Obviously, seven was more than we thought, so we’re very happy with that.”
With two division wins under their belt, the DC Divas step out of division play for the next four games, beginning with Saturday’s game against the Central Maryland Seahawks (1-1). The Seahawks have only played one competitive game, losing 20-6 at the New York Sharks; Central Maryland picked up their first win last weekend via forfeit over an unannounced non-league opponent. This Saturday’s contest at Woodlawn High School in Baltimore will be the Seahawks’ first ever home game.
Despite the fact that Central Maryland is a new franchise, many of their players are very familiar to the Divas. Several of the Seahawks have pro football experience playing for the IWFL’s Baltimore Nighthawks or WSFL’s Baltimore Burn. Still, with only one game of film to study, the Divas will need to expect the unexpected from Central Maryland.
Coach Fischer’s strategy for dealing with an expansion franchise is to focus less on the Seahawks’ game plan and instead concentrate on her own team. “The players of theirs that we do know, we can adjust to as necessary,” Fischer stated. “But we’re going to try to play our game and execute well and focus more on what we do this week.”
Around the WFA – The Pittsburgh Passion, who lost to the Divas, 42-31, in their season opener, rebounded Saturday with a 42-0 victory over the Toledo Reign…The Chicago Force and Boston Militia, who played for the National Conference title in 2012, got off to strong starts in their season openers. Chicago defeated the Detroit Dark Angels, 62-0, while Boston throttled the New York Sharks, 70-0…Congratulations to the Miami Fury, who upset the Jacksonville Dixie Blues, 22-10. Jacksonville, a regional powerhouse, had an 8-0 record in the regular season in 2012, while Miami went 0-8; the Fury are now 2-0 in 2013.

Cancer-detecting bra could be better than mammograms
New Cancer-Detecting Bra Boasts Better Track Record than Mammograms
"A bra saved my life"
By next year, a cancer-detecting bra called the First Warning System should be available. Developers are currently waiting on FDA approval, which they expect by February of 2014.
It might sound far-fetched, but the First Warning System bra is a non-invasive screening device for breast cancer that's been in the works for over 20 years. Now it's just about ready for prime time, and it could revolutionize breast cancer detection and treatment. Keep reading and learn more about this remarkable breakthrough...

Breast Cancer Breakthrough BANNED!
U.S. Government Blocks Release of Doctor's Life-Saving Book
A mammoth discovery is wiping out most breast tumors better than anything seen yet in modern medicine. It makes surgery, radiation and chemotherapy look like something from the Dark Ages. A Cornell-educated doctor followed more than 25 years of case studies and PROVED this treatment can cure breast cancer. With the discovery I'm going to tell you about, almost every woman makes it and without losing a breast to surgery or taking any toxic chemicals. Even those with late stage cancer! You've got to include this treatment if you want to have any REAL hope of defeating breast cancer. Click here now and watch a new video presentation about this important discovery…

Nedra Lindsay of Fairborn, OH, gives the First Warning bra credit for detecting her breast cancer early — and for saving her life. She wore the device at age 25 as part of the initial study. At that young age, she says breast cancer was the furthest thing from her mind.
But the First Warning bra indicated she had cancer. Nedra underwent three different, increasingly invasive medical tests that were reviewed by three independent medical investigations. All confirmed the initial diagnosis made by the First Warning bra.
Nedra's surgeon told her that under normal circumstances, her cancer likely wouldn't have been noticeable till she was closer to age 37. By then it could have progressed to a dangerous level. Nedra points out that under her insurance plan a mammogram wasn't even covered till she turned 40. Indeed, mammograms for women under the age of 40 are almost useless because the breast tissue in a younger woman is typically very dense.
Now aged 45, Nedra is alive and cancer-free.

Cancer-detecting technology built into a bra
According to Dr. Ronald Fletcher, Chief Investigator of the study and previous Director of Oncology at Greene Memorial Hospital in Xenia, OH, "Cancer is probably the most curable of all diseases — with the proviso that it's caught early enough." He points out women under the age of 44 aren't likely to be screened, but nearly 11 percent will eventually be diagnosed with breast cancer that will have already progressed to a late stage.
In fact, it's young women who usually have the most aggressive types of breast cancer. Tumors found in women under age 40 grow the fastest but are hardest to detect. And the sad truth is, roughly 6.5 percent of the victims will die as a result.
But if those tumors can be detected early, there's a nearly 100% survival rate.
That's where the First Warning System comes in. It detects cancer cells years before those cells can be seen on an MRI or mammogram. It uses patented sensor-detecting technology that is painless, non-invasive, and highly accurate.
To the naked eye, it just looks like a sports bra.
The First Warning bra works by detecting minute temperature differences in your breast tissue. It's these fluctuations in temperature that indicate a possible cancer abnormality. When a cancer tumor starts to grow, your body builds a system of new, albeit abnormal blood vessels. The increased blood flow to the area creates something called a "heat signature" within the tumor. This small temperature variation occurs several years before the tumor itself is visible on a mammogram or MRI.
But normal body temperature fluctuates throughout the day and varies from woman to woman. To account for that, the First Warning System needs to maintain constant contact with the body throughout a testing period of at least 24 hours. That's why a tight-fitting sports bra is ideal. Sensors located in the cup area of the bra stay in direct contact with the breast for as long as necessary to get a good temperature reading.
The sensors collect data that is sent to the Internet, and from there the data is analyzed by complex algorithms and delivered to a trained doctor. You get to see the results, too, either through your computer or mobile device.
So far, three clinical trials have shown an accuracy level of more than 90 percent for the First Warning System. As a screening tool, it's much more accurate at a gratifyingly earlier point in time.
It's cheaper, too, coming in at around $200. Mammograms cost as much as $300 but are only effective after a tumor has reached a detectable size. Even then, you've got the false positive issue. But the First Warning System bra not only detects early-stage tissue abnormalities, it also reduces the false positives that are causing women so much angst.

One step forward in the healthcare maze
This "magic bra" could be a massive step forward in easy breast cancer detection and early intervention. It should prove especially useful for women with dense breast tissue who are severely limited at present when it comes to diagnostic tools. (We've written before about how mammography and ultrasound are virtually useless for dense breasts, though few women know whether they have dense tissue and so aren't aware of their higher risk level — seeIssue #198.)
Here's a quick update on that note — beginning in April of 2013, California will be the 5th state mandating that physicians tell patients whether they have dense breast tissue. Eleven more states, as well as the federal government, have legislation pending. This is a significant step forward because it means more women will be made aware that their dense breast tissue significantly lowers the effectiveness of mammograms.
By the way, if you're ever diagnosed with breast cancer, you should read our Special Report Breast Cancer Cover-Up. It tells you the best natural and alternative treatments (and also the best tests — but not the First Systems bra, which hadn't come out yet at the time the report was written.)
Navigating the American healthcare maze is a nightmare. Breast Cancer Cover-Up can help. And with advances like the First Warnings bra, we can look forward to new ways to find cancer at a very early stage, when it's easy to treat.
If you haven't been reading Cancer Defeated for long, you may wonder, "Who needs this new breast cancer test? Don't mammograms do the job?" Glad you asked. Let's take a look. . .

A second opinion that came too late
Just last week, a study from the Annals of Family Medicine revealed a shocking new statistic: As many as 60 percent of abnormal mammograms turn out to be false positives. These are cases where the breast X-ray says the woman has cancer, but she doesn't.
ABC News with Diane Sawyer underscored this revelation, reporting recently on a woman who had an abnormal mammogram three years ago. The biopsy that followed revealed she had cancer. Because the woman's mother, sister, and three aunts had previously been diagnosed with breast cancer, she opted for a double mastectomy — the most radical treatment available.
But in the messy process of getting her insurance provider to cover expenses, the woman had to hire a lawyer. The lawyer sent her original biopsy out for a second opinion. The cancer expert who gave the second opinion said the woman never had cancer in the first place. Both mammogram and biopsy got it wrong.
Unusual? Not really. Another new and unsettling study shows as many as 4 percent of biopsies are misread — affecting as many as 10,000 women a year.
While this woman was thrilled to learn she was cancer-free, she'd also sacrificed both breasts to medical error.
It's a horrifying story, but it's not unique. Because mammograms can detect smaller lesions than ever before, an accurate cancer diagnosis has become much harder to make. That's led to an increase in false positive mammograms. Most of those are followed by a biopsy. And as noted, those are subject to error as well, although much less often than the X-rays.
In the best of cases, women with a false-positive mammogram — even where breast cancer is ruled out — experience as much as three years of lingering anxiety about having a close brush with cancer.
In the worst cases, the false positive results are taken all the way to the surgery table, with heartbreaking results like the example above.
So always, always get a second opinion — and do it BEFORE moving forward with any treatment option. If your doctor is any kind of decent human being, he or she will welcome another set of eyes.
These findings highlight the pressing need for improved screening tests. That's why the First Warning Systems bra is such welcome news.

Bowie City Council Honors CIAA Champion Bulldogs Basketball Team
BOWIE, Md. - The Bowie City Council honored the Bowie State University men's basketball team with a resolution recognizing their "outstanding accomplishments" at Bowie City Hall tonight. PHOTOS
The Proclamation of Recognition presented to head coach Darrell Brooks, the assistant coaches and players by Council members Todd Turner and BSU alumnus Isaac Trouth noted the teams’ tournament successes and post season regional play.
As Council member Turner presented the proclamation to the Bulldogs, his remark of “I know it (the CIAA Championship) was maybe not expected”, Council member Trouth was quick to correct Council member Turner (with a chuckle) saying “It was expected … Excellence is the only acceptable standard for us.”
Council member Turner then read the proclamation aloud, concluding "The Council of the City of Bowie takes great pride in congratulating the team on a great season and we wish the Bulldogs continued success in the future."
Head Coach Darrell Brooks thanked the City of Bowie for the award and closed the remarks with, “These guys worked really hard and earned everything they got this year.”
The Bulldogs finished their season 16-14, after claiming their second CIAA tournament title (March 2nd) and earned a berth in the NCAA tournament where Bowie State lost its opening round game to West Liberty. Bowie State’s other men’s CIAA Championship occurred 10 years and one day (2003) to their first championship.
Wipe Out 20 Years of Aging in 6 Months?
In July 1990, researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin revealed they found a way to reverse up to 20 years of aging in just 6 months – in a random group of men as old as 81.
These men lost 14.4% of their body fat... gained 8.8% lean body mass… their skin thickened...and their bone density increased. And it was backed up, peer reviewed, and published in one of the world’s most respected medical journals.
So why has this anti-aging miracle sat on the shelf for 22 years?
Watch this special video presentation and find out. Plus discover how you can get all details on how to ramp up your body’s production of this age-reversing compound all on your own – without a doctor.
These long-held secrets are now out in the open. But for how long?
I urge you to watch this special video alert now.
To your health,

Bowie State's Byron Westmorland Selected to Boxtorow All-American First Team
FUQUAY-VARINA, N.C. - Bulldogs senior guard/forward Byron Westmorland picks up another basketball post season honor, this time Boxtorow All-American.
Elizabeth City State’s Angelo Sharpless was named the Boxtorow Division II National Player of the Year. Sharpless, the CIAA Player of the Year, is one of the most dynamic players in the country. He also has the numbers to back it up leading the CIAA in rebounds (8.8), finishing third in scoring (20.5), while shooting 50.7 percent from the field. Sharpless was the only player in the
conference who was in the top 10 in scoring, rebounding, steals (1.6), and blocked shots.
Joining Westmorland and Sharpless on the All-American frontcourt is Benedict’s Marcus Goode. The only repeat Boxtorow First Team All-American, Goode was named SIAC regular season and tournament MVP, also leading the Tigers to the semifinals of the NCAA Division II South Regional. Goode averaged 14.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.9 blocks per game, and shot 53 percent from the field.
Westmorland was named CIAA Tournament MVP after leading the Bulldogs to their first CIAA Tournament championship since 2003. Westmorland was second in the CIAA and seventh in the country in scoring (23.4), led the conference in three-pointers made (95) and averaged six rebounds per game.
The First Team backcourt consists of Trevin Parks of Johnson C. Smith and Darrius Williams of Morehouse. Parks led the CIAA and finished second in the country in scoring (25.0), third in the conference in three-point field goal percentage (41.5), logged more minutes than any player in the conference (35.7 per game), and averaged 4.1 assists per game.
Williams helped lead the Maroon Tigers to a 20-8 record, their best record since the 2003-04 season by leading the SIAC in scoring (18.2) and rebounding (8.4) while shooting 53 percent from the field. In his 11th season at the helm of Benedict, Fred Watson was tabbed Coach
of the Year. A graduate of Benedict, he led the Tigers to a 24-7 mark, his fourth SIAC Tournament championship as head coach and an appearance in the NCAA Division II South Region semifinal game.

Divas Force Seven Interceptions and Triumph, 53-20
Divas Force Seven Interceptions and Triumph, 53-20
Neal Rozendaal
Columbus, OH – Sometimes the best offense is a good defense.
The DC defense corralled seven interceptions and returned three of them for touchdowns, and the Divas defeated the Columbus Comets, 53-20, on Saturday.
The Divas (2-0) saw their defense put to the test right from the start of the game; Columbus had three offensive possessions before DC had one. Divas receiver Juliette Baker-Brice fumbled the opening kickoff, and Columbus recovered on the DC 40-yard line. Comets quarterback Crystal Davis threw for a nine-yard touchdown on fourth and goal to give the home team a 6-0 lead.
The shorthanded Divas – five DC players and team owner Paul Hamlin had their flight to Columbus delayed, arriving at the stadium midway through the first quarter – continued their sluggish start. On the ensuing kickoff, a miscommunication among the Divas on who should field the ball allowed Columbus to recover the ball in DC territory again.
The Comets (1-1) threatened to go ahead by two touchdowns, facing a third and two at the eight-yard line, when Divas defensive back Raina Rorie made an early game-changing play. Rorie picked off Davis’ pass at the goal line and outraced everyone 100 yards for a DC touchdown. Just when it looked like the Comets might take a two-score lead, the game was abruptly tied on Rorie’s dramatic return.
The rest of the first half belonged to the Divas. Kenyetta Grigsby, who was named WFA Offensive Player of the Week for her record-breaking 290-yard rushing performance last week against Pittsburgh, gave DC control of the game by scoring three straight touchdowns in the first half. Grigsby’s three scores provided the Divas with a 27-6 cushion early in the second quarter.
Ashley Whisonant – one of the DC players who arrived late on the delayed flight – added to the lead by making a spectacular move down the sidelines on a 42-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Allyson Hamlin. The Divas led Columbus, 34-6, at halftime.
Quarterback Crystal Davis and the Columbus offense gained some momentum in the third quarter. Davis, the 2010 WFA Offensive Player of the Year, threw for a 40-yard touchdown and passed for a two-point conversion midway through the period, cutting the deficit to 34-14. But Davis also threw two more interceptions in the quarter – one to Eleni Kotsis and another to linebacker Devon Goldsmith, her third interception of the game.
It took Divas defensive back Callie Brownson about thirty seconds to put the game away for DC. The Comets were driving as the fourth quarter opened, but Brownson intercepted a pass and returned it 72 yards for a Divas touchdown.
The Divas kicked off to the Comets, and on Columbus’ first offensive play, Davis threw another interception to Brownson, who promptly returned this one for a touchdown as well. It was Davis’ seventh interception on the night, and it gave DC a 47-14 advantage. Rushing touchdowns by Columbus’ Shelley Gates and DC’s Kenyetta Grigsby – her fourth of the game – ended the scoring.
The Divas are now 2-0 in their division, with road victories over both of their division rivals. The Divas’ next game is at the Central Maryland Seahawks on Saturday.
