Following that is the Lori Piestewa National Native American Games (July 15-18) which will feature seven sports – baseball, basketball, cross-country, softball, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.
“I believe this partnership will send a message to the community, the state and the nation as to the importance of teamwork with academics and sports,” said Erik Widmark, Executive Director of the Southwestern College Grand Canyon State Games. “Additionally, the shared vision of building world-class athletic facilities will be foremost on our minds as we move forward together.”

"Something cute from my good friend Lew Shaw"
The Economy is so Bad That . . .
1. I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.
2. I ordered a burger at McDonald's and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?"
3. CEO's are now playing miniature golf.
4. If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.
5. McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer.
6. Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.
7. A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.
10. Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.
11. Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.
12. American Express is begging you to leave home without it.
13. The Mafia is laying off judges.
14. Exxon-Mobil is laying off 25 Congressmen.
15. Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh, Great!! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear!
And, finally...
16. I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

Fewer Sugary Drinks Can Lower Blood Pressure
A research study came out last week that stated drinking fewer sugary drinks may help lower blood pressure. The study found overweight people with high blood pressure who drank one less sugar-laden beverage a day significantly lowered their blood pressure over 18 months.
For most Americans, that means cutting soft drink intake in half. Food and beverage companies are under pressure to reduce the sugar content in their products in line with the recently-passed health reform legislation which is promoting ways to prevent disease as well as treat it.
Too much sugar not only makes people fatter, but is also a key culprit in diabetes, heart disease and stroke, according to the American Heart Association. A researcher at the Louisiana State University Health Science Center said American adults drink an average of 2.3 28-ounce servings of sugar-sweetened beverages per day.
As our daily Arizona temperatures move into triple digits, and our liquid intake goes up, we all should look for more healthy drinks to consume. Hey, water’s more a bad choice.
