mavericks in trouble ?

I'm a mega Dallas Mavericks fan and unfortunately, they haven't had the best season thus far but our leader Dirk Nowitzki is confident that the Mavs will get things turned around by the playoffs.

Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban is convinced that this team, though it is of a different composition, is not far off from the World Champion team of last year, mentally.

We'll see how it plays out.

Go Mavs!

Interested in getting flat abs by this summer? Well it sure took you a while (its errr.. April, right?) to decide that you wanted to look fit, but here's an article talking about things you can do to get the six pack abs.

However, instead of LOOKING fit, maybe you should try to actually BE fit. Do some running or some cardio and start getting in better shape, then you won't have to worry specifically about things like abs---it'll happen naturally.

Good luck.

philadelphia hockey

The Philadelphia Flyers put a whooping on the Pittsburgh Penguins---figuratively and literally speaking.
The Flyguys are now in control of the series, with a commanding 3-0 lead in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

If you weren't a hockey fan before watching this game, you may have turned into one. A lot of scoring, a lot of strategy, a lot of big hits and checks, tons of fights, palpable tension and genuine dislike between teams on he ice, and a roaring crowd in the stands. Ahhhh playoff hockey.

go flyguys.

Shockey Shocked by Sapp

Everyone that's following the NFL has heard about the Bounty Scandal and Sean Payton suspension (and denied appeal) but some of you may have missed that Warren Sapp, former NFL player and current analyst for NFL Network accussed Jeremy Shockey as being the whistleblower in the entire Bounty Scandal.

Well Shockey is fighting back. He wants the NFL to punish Sapp for his unwarranted (and still not proven)  comments.

What do you think? Was Shockey the snitch? And even so, should the NFL look into Sapp's comments? Maybe they have and realized he was telling the truth. Hmmm.. the possibilities

UCLA's Breslow passes

Dr. Lester Breslow was a pioneer in mathematically proving that making lifestyle changes would extend one's life expectancy. A public health leader, Dr. Breslow tried to provide people with proof that changing smoking, diet, and sleep habits would be medically beneficial.

Unfortunately, the good doctor passed away in his home last week at the age of 97. I guess he was doing something right.

consciousness

Where does consciousness stop and unconsciousness begin? This is a question that scientists are trying to answer. Apparently, its not as clear cut as one would imagine.

Patients who's brain activity had been declared "unconscious" were able to respond to commands to open their eyes.

interesting read. check it out here.

lefties left out?

"Lefties Aren't Special After All"

In this article, the author goes on a long tangent about the specialty of left-handedness being over-exaggerated and lefties being no more special than righties. It's an interesting backwards take on a topic I didn't think was even an issue anymore.

What do you think? Should lefties be celebrated?
