NCAAMBKB – Men’s College Basketball Tonight Western Michigan at Eastern Michigan, 7:00 p.m. Central Michigan at Buffalo, 7:00 p.m. (17) Indiana at Michigan State, 9:00 p.m.   Superhits 103.7 Cosy-FM 8:00 NCAAWBKB – Women’s College Basketball Yesterday (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 – Harris, Ohio State women beat Michigan 74-61 Rikki Harris scored a career-high 23 points with five assists and seven steals, Taylor Thierry added 15 points and No. 16 Ohio State beat No. 12 Michigan 74-61 to complete a season sweep of the Wolverines. It was Ohio State’s first victory over a ranked team since topping Michigan 66-57 on New Year’s Eve. Taylor Mikesell made four 3-pointers and scored 12 for Ohio State (23-5, 12-5 Big Ten). Cotie McMahon had seven points, eight rebounds and seven assists. McMahon was named the Big Ten freshman of the week for the sixth time earlier on Monday after averaging 19.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Leigha Brown scored a career-high 36 points with nine rebounds for Michigan. NCAAMBKB – Houston back at No. 1 as Northwestern makes debut Houston returned to No. 1 in the AP men’s college basketball poll for the third time this season while Northwestern and Texas A&M barged into the rankings after each had a pair of impressive wins last week. The Cougars picked up 48 first-place votes from the 62-member national media panel with just two weeks left in the regular season. Alabama dropped one spot after losing to Tennessee and routing Georgia in its lone week at No. 1. The Crimson Tide held onto seven first-place votes, while Kansas also earned seven to climb two spots to No. 3. North Carolina State and Florida Atlantic dropped out after each lost games last week. NCAAWBKB – South Carolina’s No. 1 run in Top 25 hits 35 weeks South Carolina remained No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll after topping Mississippi in overtime on Sunday. The Gamecocks have been No. 1 for 35 straight weeks, the third-longest streak of all time. They received 27 of the 28 first-place votes from the national media panel, marking the first time all season they weren’t a unanimous choice. Indiana got the other first-place vote and stayed second in the poll. The Hoosiers have won 14 consecutive games and are 9-0 against AP Top 25 teams this season — the most wins against ranked opponents of any team in the country. Stanford, UConn and LSU round out the top five teams. NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Washington Capitals, 7:00 p.m. Vegas Golden Knights at Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 p.m. Olympics – Nations: No clarity on neutrality, no Olympics for Russia The governments of 35 nations signed a statement calling on the IOC to clarify the definition of “neutrality” as it seeks a way to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes back into international sports and next year’s Paris Olympics. The statement said the countries do not agree Russian and Belarusian athletes should be allowed back into competition as long as the lack of clarity and concrete details on a workable neutrality model aren’t addressed. The United States, Britain, France, Canada and Germany were among those signing. Those five countries brought nearly one-fifth of all the athletes to the Tokyo Games in 2021. The letter was the product of a Feb. 10 summit in London. MLB – Cubs, RHP Michael Fulmer finalize $4M, 1-year contract The Chicago Cubs have added Michael Fulmer to their bullpen, finalizing a $4 million, one-year contract with the right-hander. Fulmer played for Detroit and Minnesota last season, going 5-6 with 3.39 ERA in a career-high 67 appearances. He began the season with the Tigers and was traded to the Twins in August. Fulmer says conversations with former Cubs relievers Andrew Chafin and Daniel Norris cemented his decision to join the team. MLB – Elvis Andrus to play 2nd base with Chicago White Sox Elvis Andrus is joining the Chicago White Sox, stepping into the team’s opening at second base. Andrus has finalized a $3 million, one-year contract. The two-time All-Star has played shortstop for his entire big league career, but he is going to move over to second in his return to Chicago. To make room on the roster, left-hander Bennett Sousa was designated for assignment. The 34-year-old Andrus finished last season with Chicago, hitting .271 with nine homers and 28 RBIs in 43 games after he was cut by Oakland. MLB – Milestones behind him, Cabrera hopes for fun final year Miguel Cabrera sounds at ease with his decision to call it a career. The Detroit slugger joked with reporters in his usual playful way and insisted he doesn’t need opponents to lavish him with attention. That will likely come this season whether he wants it or not. Two decades after his big league debut as a 20-year-old Florida Marlin, Cabrera is entering his final season. He’s hoping for good health and more wins for the Tigers. Cabrera hit his 500th home run two years ago. Last season he reached 3,000 hits. MLB – Major league teams searching for advantages with new rules The only certainty about Major League Baseball’s new rules for the 2023 season is that everyone is going to push and pull on them in search of an edge. The size of the bases has been increased to 18-inch squares from 15. The new pitch clock is 15 seconds with no runners on base and 20 seconds with runners. The increasingly frequent infield shift has been eliminated, and there is a limit of two of what MLB calls disengagements — pickoff attempts or steps off the rubber — per plate appearance. AHL – American Hockey League Yesterday Manitoba Moose 5, Grand Rapids Griffins 1 MHSAA – High School Sports Last Night Boys Basketball St. Joseph 47, Berrien Springs 42 St. Joe rallied from a 40-30 deficit heading into the final quarter and outscored Berrien Springs 17-2 in the fourth quarter for a 47-42 win over the upset minded Shamrocks.  Chase Sanders had 12 points to lead St. Joe while Matt Lanier and Luke Lehner had 11 points each.  Allen Taylor had 14 points to lead Berrien Springs while Brady Blasko had 13.

NCAAMBKB – Men’s College Basketball Tonight Western Michigan at Eastern Michigan, 7:00 p.m. Central Michigan at Buffalo, 7:00 p.m. (17) Indiana at Michigan State, 9:00 p.m.   Superhits 103.7 Cosy-FM 8:00 NCAAWBKB – Women’s College Basketball Yesterday (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 – Harris, Ohio State women beat Michigan 74-61 Rikki Harris scored a career-high 23 points with five assists and seven steals, Taylor Thierry added 15 points and No. 16 Ohio State beat No. 12 Michigan 74-61 to complete a season sweep of the Wolverines. It was Ohio State’s first victory over a ranked team since topping Michigan 66-57 on New Year’s Eve. Taylor Mikesell made four 3-pointers and scored 12 for Ohio State (23-5, 12-5 Big Ten). Cotie McMahon had seven points, eight rebounds and seven assists. McMahon was named the Big Ten freshman of the week for the sixth time earlier on Monday after averaging 19.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Leigha Brown scored a career-high 36 points with nine rebounds for Michigan. NCAAMBKB – Houston back at No. 1 as Northwestern makes debut Houston returned to No. 1 in the AP men’s college basketball poll for the third time this season while Northwestern and Texas A&M barged into the rankings after each had a pair of impressive wins last week. The Cougars picked up 48 first-place votes from the 62-member national media panel with just two weeks left in the regular season. Alabama dropped one spot after losing to Tennessee and routing Georgia in its lone week at No. 1. The Crimson Tide held onto seven first-place votes, while Kansas also earned seven to climb two spots to No. 3. North Carolina State and Florida Atlantic dropped out after each lost games last week. NCAAWBKB – South Carolina’s No. 1 run in Top 25 hits 35 weeks South Carolina remained No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll after topping Mississippi in overtime on Sunday. The Gamecocks have been No. 1 for 35 straight weeks, the third-longest streak of all time. They received 27 of the 28 first-place votes from the national media panel, marking the first time all season they weren’t a unanimous choice. Indiana got the other first-place vote and stayed second in the poll. The Hoosiers have won 14 consecutive games and are 9-0 against AP Top 25 teams this season — the most wins against ranked opponents of any team in the country. Stanford, UConn and LSU round out the top five teams. NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Washington Capitals, 7:00 p.m. Vegas Golden Knights at Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 p.m. Olympics – Nations: No clarity on neutrality, no Olympics for Russia The governments of 35 nations signed a statement calling on the IOC to clarify the definition of “neutrality” as it seeks a way to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes back into international sports and next year’s Paris Olympics. The statement said the countries do not agree Russian and Belarusian athletes should be allowed back into competition as long as the lack of clarity and concrete details on a workable neutrality model aren’t addressed. The United States, Britain, France, Canada and Germany were among those signing. Those five countries brought nearly one-fifth of all the athletes to the Tokyo Games in 2021. The letter was the product of a Feb. 10 summit in London. MLB – Cubs, RHP Michael Fulmer finalize $4M, 1-year contract The Chicago Cubs have added Michael Fulmer to their bullpen, finalizing a $4 million, one-year contract with the right-hander. Fulmer played for Detroit and Minnesota last season, going 5-6 with 3.39 ERA in a career-high 67 appearances. He began the season with the Tigers and was traded to the Twins in August. Fulmer says conversations with former Cubs relievers Andrew Chafin and Daniel Norris cemented his decision to join the team. MLB – Elvis Andrus to play 2nd base with Chicago White Sox Elvis Andrus is joining the Chicago White Sox, stepping into the team’s opening at second base. Andrus has finalized a $3 million, one-year contract. The two-time All-Star has played shortstop for his entire big league career, but he is going to move over to second in his return to Chicago. To make room on the roster, left-hander Bennett Sousa was designated for assignment. The 34-year-old Andrus finished last season with Chicago, hitting .271 with nine homers and 28 RBIs in 43 games after he was cut by Oakland. MLB – Milestones behind him, Cabrera hopes for fun final year Miguel Cabrera sounds at ease with his decision to call it a career. The Detroit slugger joked with reporters in his usual playful way and insisted he doesn’t need opponents to lavish him with attention. That will likely come this season whether he wants it or not. Two decades after his big league debut as a 20-year-old Florida Marlin, Cabrera is entering his final season. He’s hoping for good health and more wins for the Tigers. Cabrera hit his 500th home run two years ago. Last season he reached 3,000 hits. MLB – Major league teams searching for advantages with new rules The only certainty about Major League Baseball’s new rules for the 2023 season is that everyone is going to push and pull on them in search of an edge. The size of the bases has been increased to 18-inch squares from 15. The new pitch clock is 15 seconds with no runners on base and 20 seconds with runners. The increasingly frequent infield shift has been eliminated, and there is a limit of two of what MLB calls disengagements — pickoff attempts or steps off the rubber — per plate appearance. AHL – American Hockey League Yesterday Manitoba Moose 5, Grand Rapids Griffins 1 MHSAA – High School Sports Last Night Boys Basketball St. Joseph 47, Berrien Springs 42 St. Joe rallied from a 40-30 deficit heading into the final quarter and outscored Berrien Springs 17-2 in the fourth quarter for a 47-42 win over the upset minded Shamrocks.  Chase Sanders had 12 points to lead St. Joe while Matt Lanier and Luke Lehner had 11 points each.  Allen Taylor had 14 points to lead Berrien Springs while Brady Blasko had 13.

It was Ohio State’s first victory over a ranked team since topping Michigan 66-57 on New Year’s Eve. Taylor Mikesell made four 3-pointers and scored 12 for Ohio State (23-5, 12-5 Big Ten). Cotie McMahon had seven points, eight rebounds and seven assists. McMahon was named the Big Ten freshman of the week for the sixth time earlier on Monday after averaging 19.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Leigha Brown scored a career-high 36 points with nine rebounds for Michigan. NCAAMBKB – Houston back at No. 1 as Northwestern makes debut Houston returned to No. 1 in the AP men’s college basketball poll for the third time this season while Northwestern and Texas A&M barged into the rankings after each had a pair of impressive wins last week. The Cougars picked up 48 first-place votes from the 62-member national media panel with just two weeks left in the regular season. Alabama dropped one spot after losing to Tennessee and routing Georgia in its lone week at No. 1. The Crimson Tide held onto seven first-place votes, while Kansas also earned seven to climb two spots to No. 3. North Carolina State and Florida Atlantic dropped out after each lost games last week. NCAAWBKB – South Carolina’s No. 1 run in Top 25 hits 35 weeks South Carolina remained No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll after topping Mississippi in overtime on Sunday. The Gamecocks have been No. 1 for 35 straight weeks, the third-longest streak of all time. They received 27 of the 28 first-place votes from the national media panel, marking the first time all season they weren’t a unanimous choice. Indiana got the other first-place vote and stayed second in the poll. The Hoosiers have won 14 consecutive games and are 9-0 against AP Top 25 teams this season — the most wins against ranked opponents of any team in the country. Stanford, UConn and LSU round out the top five teams. NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Washington Capitals, 7:00 p.m. Vegas Golden Knights at Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 p.m. Olympics – Nations: No clarity on neutrality, no Olympics for Russia The governments of 35 nations signed a statement calling on the IOC to clarify the definition of “neutrality” as it seeks a way to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes back into international sports and next year’s Paris Olympics. The statement said the countries do not agree Russian and Belarusian athletes should be allowed back into competition as long as the lack of clarity and concrete details on a workable neutrality model aren’t addressed. The United States, Britain, France, Canada and Germany were among those signing. Those five countries brought nearly one-fifth of all the athletes to the Tokyo Games in 2021. The letter was the product of a Feb. 10 summit in London. MLB – Cubs, RHP Michael Fulmer finalize $4M, 1-year contract The Chicago Cubs have added Michael Fulmer to their bullpen, finalizing a $4 million, one-year contract with the right-hander. Fulmer played for Detroit and Minnesota last season, going 5-6 with 3.39 ERA in a career-high 67 appearances. He began the season with the Tigers and was traded to the Twins in August. Fulmer says conversations with former Cubs relievers Andrew Chafin and Daniel Norris cemented his decision to join the team. MLB – Elvis Andrus to play 2nd base with Chicago White Sox Elvis Andrus is joining the Chicago White Sox, stepping into the team’s opening at second base. Andrus has finalized a $3 million, one-year contract. The two-time All-Star has played shortstop for his entire big league career, but he is going to move over to second in his return to Chicago. To make room on the roster, left-hander Bennett Sousa was designated for assignment. The 34-year-old Andrus finished last season with Chicago, hitting .271 with nine homers and 28 RBIs in 43 games after he was cut by Oakland. MLB – Milestones behind him, Cabrera hopes for fun final year Miguel Cabrera sounds at ease with his decision to call it a career. The Detroit slugger joked with reporters in his usual playful way and insisted he doesn’t need opponents to lavish him with attention. That will likely come this season whether he wants it or not. Two decades after his big league debut as a 20-year-old Florida Marlin, Cabrera is entering his final season. He’s hoping for good health and more wins for the Tigers. Cabrera hit his 500th home run two years ago. Last season he reached 3,000 hits. MLB – Major league teams searching for advantages with new rules The only certainty about Major League Baseball’s new rules for the 2023 season is that everyone is going to push and pull on them in search of an edge. The size of the bases has been increased to 18-inch squares from 15. The new pitch clock is 15 seconds with no runners on base and 20 seconds with runners. The increasingly frequent infield shift has been eliminated, and there is a limit of two of what MLB calls disengagements — pickoff attempts or steps off the rubber — per plate appearance.

NCAAMBKB – Men’s College Basketball Tonight Western Michigan at Eastern Michigan, 7:00 p.m. Central Michigan at Buffalo, 7:00 p.m. (17) Indiana at Michigan State, 9:00 p.m.   Superhits 103.7 Cosy-FM 8:00 NCAAWBKB – Women’s College Basketball Yesterday (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 – Harris, Ohio State women beat Michigan 74-61 Rikki Harris scored a career-high 23 points with five assists and seven steals, Taylor Thierry added 15 points and No. 16 Ohio State beat No. 12 Michigan 74-61 to complete a season sweep of the Wolverines. It was Ohio State’s first victory over a ranked team since topping Michigan 66-57 on New Year’s Eve. Taylor Mikesell made four 3-pointers and scored 12 for Ohio State (23-5, 12-5 Big Ten). Cotie McMahon had seven points, eight rebounds and seven assists. McMahon was named the Big Ten freshman of the week for the sixth time earlier on Monday after averaging 19.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Leigha Brown scored a career-high 36 points with nine rebounds for Michigan. NCAAMBKB – Houston back at No. 1 as Northwestern makes debut Houston returned to No. 1 in the AP men’s college basketball poll for the third time this season while Northwestern and Texas A&M barged into the rankings after each had a pair of impressive wins last week. The Cougars picked up 48 first-place votes from the 62-member national media panel with just two weeks left in the regular season. Alabama dropped one spot after losing to Tennessee and routing Georgia in its lone week at No. 1. The Crimson Tide held onto seven first-place votes, while Kansas also earned seven to climb two spots to No. 3. North Carolina State and Florida Atlantic dropped out after each lost games last week. NCAAWBKB – South Carolina’s No. 1 run in Top 25 hits 35 weeks South Carolina remained No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll after topping Mississippi in overtime on Sunday. The Gamecocks have been No. 1 for 35 straight weeks, the third-longest streak of all time. They received 27 of the 28 first-place votes from the national media panel, marking the first time all season they weren’t a unanimous choice. Indiana got the other first-place vote and stayed second in the poll. The Hoosiers have won 14 consecutive games and are 9-0 against AP Top 25 teams this season — the most wins against ranked opponents of any team in the country. Stanford, UConn and LSU round out the top five teams. NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Washington Capitals, 7:00 p.m. Vegas Golden Knights at Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 p.m. Olympics – Nations: No clarity on neutrality, no Olympics for Russia The governments of 35 nations signed a statement calling on the IOC to clarify the definition of “neutrality” as it seeks a way to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes back into international sports and next year’s Paris Olympics. The statement said the countries do not agree Russian and Belarusian athletes should be allowed back into competition as long as the lack of clarity and concrete details on a workable neutrality model aren’t addressed. The United States, Britain, France, Canada and Germany were among those signing. Those five countries brought nearly one-fifth of all the athletes to the Tokyo Games in 2021. The letter was the product of a Feb. 10 summit in London. MLB – Cubs, RHP Michael Fulmer finalize $4M, 1-year contract The Chicago Cubs have added Michael Fulmer to their bullpen, finalizing a $4 million, one-year contract with the right-hander. Fulmer played for Detroit and Minnesota last season, going 5-6 with 3.39 ERA in a career-high 67 appearances. He began the season with the Tigers and was traded to the Twins in August. Fulmer says conversations with former Cubs relievers Andrew Chafin and Daniel Norris cemented his decision to join the team. MLB – Elvis Andrus to play 2nd base with Chicago White Sox Elvis Andrus is joining the Chicago White Sox, stepping into the team’s opening at second base. Andrus has finalized a $3 million, one-year contract. The two-time All-Star has played shortstop for his entire big league career, but he is going to move over to second in his return to Chicago. To make room on the roster, left-hander Bennett Sousa was designated for assignment. The 34-year-old Andrus finished last season with Chicago, hitting .271 with nine homers and 28 RBIs in 43 games after he was cut by Oakland. MLB – Milestones behind him, Cabrera hopes for fun final year Miguel Cabrera sounds at ease with his decision to call it a career. The Detroit slugger joked with reporters in his usual playful way and insisted he doesn’t need opponents to lavish him with attention. That will likely come this season whether he wants it or not. Two decades after his big league debut as a 20-year-old Florida Marlin, Cabrera is entering his final season. He’s hoping for good health and more wins for the Tigers. Cabrera hit his 500th home run two years ago. Last season he reached 3,000 hits. MLB – Major league teams searching for advantages with new rules The only certainty about Major League Baseball’s new rules for the 2023 season is that everyone is going to push and pull on them in search of an edge. The size of the bases has been increased to 18-inch squares from 15. The new pitch clock is 15 seconds with no runners on base and 20 seconds with runners. The increasingly frequent infield shift has been eliminated, and there is a limit of two of what MLB calls disengagements — pickoff attempts or steps off the rubber — per plate appearance. AHL – American Hockey League Yesterday Manitoba Moose 5, Grand Rapids Griffins 1 MHSAA – High School Sports Last Night Boys Basketball St. Joseph 47, Berrien Springs 42 St. Joe rallied from a 40-30 deficit heading into the final quarter and outscored Berrien Springs 17-2 in the fourth quarter for a 47-42 win over the upset minded Shamrocks.  Chase Sanders had 12 points to lead St. Joe while Matt Lanier and Luke Lehner had 11 points each.  Allen Taylor had 14 points to lead Berrien Springs while Brady Blasko had 13.

NCAAMBKB – Men’s College Basketball Tonight Western Michigan at Eastern Michigan, 7:00 p.m. Central Michigan at Buffalo, 7:00 p.m. (17) Indiana at Michigan State, 9:00 p.m.   Superhits 103.7 Cosy-FM 8:00 NCAAWBKB – Women’s College Basketball Yesterday (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 (16) Ohio State 74, (12) Michigan 61 – Harris, Ohio State women beat Michigan 74-61 Rikki Harris scored a career-high 23 points with five assists and seven steals, Taylor Thierry added 15 points and No. 16 Ohio State beat No. 12 Michigan 74-61 to complete a season sweep of the Wolverines. It was Ohio State’s first victory over a ranked team since topping Michigan 66-57 on New Year’s Eve. Taylor Mikesell made four 3-pointers and scored 12 for Ohio State (23-5, 12-5 Big Ten). Cotie McMahon had seven points, eight rebounds and seven assists. McMahon was named the Big Ten freshman of the week for the sixth time earlier on Monday after averaging 19.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Leigha Brown scored a career-high 36 points with nine rebounds for Michigan. NCAAMBKB – Houston back at No. 1 as Northwestern makes debut Houston returned to No. 1 in the AP men’s college basketball poll for the third time this season while Northwestern and Texas A&M barged into the rankings after each had a pair of impressive wins last week. The Cougars picked up 48 first-place votes from the 62-member national media panel with just two weeks left in the regular season. Alabama dropped one spot after losing to Tennessee and routing Georgia in its lone week at No. 1. The Crimson Tide held onto seven first-place votes, while Kansas also earned seven to climb two spots to No. 3. North Carolina State and Florida Atlantic dropped out after each lost games last week. NCAAWBKB – South Carolina’s No. 1 run in Top 25 hits 35 weeks South Carolina remained No. 1 in The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll after topping Mississippi in overtime on Sunday. The Gamecocks have been No. 1 for 35 straight weeks, the third-longest streak of all time. They received 27 of the 28 first-place votes from the national media panel, marking the first time all season they weren’t a unanimous choice. Indiana got the other first-place vote and stayed second in the poll. The Hoosiers have won 14 consecutive games and are 9-0 against AP Top 25 teams this season — the most wins against ranked opponents of any team in the country. Stanford, UConn and LSU round out the top five teams. NHL – National Hockey League Tonight Detroit Red Wings at Washington Capitals, 7:00 p.m. Vegas Golden Knights at Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 p.m. Olympics – Nations: No clarity on neutrality, no Olympics for Russia The governments of 35 nations signed a statement calling on the IOC to clarify the definition of “neutrality” as it seeks a way to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes back into international sports and next year’s Paris Olympics. The statement said the countries do not agree Russian and Belarusian athletes should be allowed back into competition as long as the lack of clarity and concrete details on a workable neutrality model aren’t addressed. The United States, Britain, France, Canada and Germany were among those signing. Those five countries brought nearly one-fifth of all the athletes to the Tokyo Games in 2021. The letter was the product of a Feb. 10 summit in London. MLB – Cubs, RHP Michael Fulmer finalize $4M, 1-year contract The Chicago Cubs have added Michael Fulmer to their bullpen, finalizing a $4 million, one-year contract with the right-hander. Fulmer played for Detroit and Minnesota last season, going 5-6 with 3.39 ERA in a career-high 67 appearances. He began the season with the Tigers and was traded to the Twins in August. Fulmer says conversations with former Cubs relievers Andrew Chafin and Daniel Norris cemented his decision to join the team. MLB – Elvis Andrus to play 2nd base with Chicago White Sox Elvis Andrus is joining the Chicago White Sox, stepping into the team’s opening at second base. Andrus has finalized a $3 million, one-year contract. The two-time All-Star has played shortstop for his entire big league career, but he is going to move over to second in his return to Chicago. To make room on the roster, left-hander Bennett Sousa was designated for assignment. The 34-year-old Andrus finished last season with Chicago, hitting .271 with nine homers and 28 RBIs in 43 games after he was cut by Oakland. MLB – Milestones behind him, Cabrera hopes for fun final year Miguel Cabrera sounds at ease with his decision to call it a career. The Detroit slugger joked with reporters in his usual playful way and insisted he doesn’t need opponents to lavish him with attention. That will likely come this season whether he wants it or not. Two decades after his big league debut as a 20-year-old Florida Marlin, Cabrera is entering his final season. He’s hoping for good health and more wins for the Tigers. Cabrera hit his 500th home run two years ago. Last season he reached 3,000 hits. MLB – Major league teams searching for advantages with new rules The only certainty about Major League Baseball’s new rules for the 2023 season is that everyone is going to push and pull on them in search of an edge. The size of the bases has been increased to 18-inch squares from 15. The new pitch clock is 15 seconds with no runners on base and 20 seconds with runners. The increasingly frequent infield shift has been eliminated, and there is a limit of two of what MLB calls disengagements — pickoff attempts or steps off the rubber — per plate appearance. AHL – American Hockey League Yesterday Manitoba Moose 5, Grand Rapids Griffins 1 MHSAA – High School Sports Last Night Boys Basketball St. Joseph 47, Berrien Springs 42 St. Joe rallied from a 40-30 deficit heading into the final quarter and outscored Berrien Springs 17-2 in the fourth quarter for a 47-42 win over the upset minded Shamrocks.  Chase Sanders had 12 points to lead St. Joe while Matt Lanier and Luke Lehner had 11 points each.  Allen Taylor had 14 points to lead Berrien Springs while Brady Blasko had 13.

Nearly 25 percent of all heart attacks might be silent myocardial infarctions, or silent MI. These heart attacks can cause serious, long-term damage without any noticeable symptoms. Dr. Allen Taylor discusses who is at risk for this condition and how to prevent it.   TRANSCRIPT Intro: MedStar Washington Hospital Center presents Medical Intel where our healthcare team shares health and wellness insights and gives you the inside story on advances in medicine. Host: Thank you for joining us today. We’re talking with Dr. Allen J. Taylor, Chief of Cardiology at MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. Today we’re talking about silent myocardial infarction, or silent MI, which is a heart attack that goes unnoticed by the person who has it. Silent MI might have no symptoms, or the symptoms might be so mild that they’re mistaken for muscle pain or heartburn. But the lack of symptoms is deceiving. Research has found that Silent MI, without a history of traditional heart attack, increases a patient’s risk of heart failure, heart attack, and death in general. Dr. Taylor, how can a condition that feels and seems harmless be so dangerous? Dr. Taylor: Silent MI is an unrecognized problem. It’s the same as a recognized heart attack, in terms of its risk. Seems surprising, how can something silent be so dangerous. And it’s not just the recognition that’s the problem, in terms of risk, but it’s the fact that when not recognized, we don’t have an opportunity to apply the right treatments that improve outcomes. So, silent MIs are risky and they’re just as risky as MIs that patients recognize. So, it’s important that we find them and get patients on the right treatment. Host: Are silent MIs common? Dr. Taylor: So, about a quarter of heart attacks are thought to be silent. And I think that when we use the word silent, we have to explain a little bit. Cause some MIs are truly silent - the patient never even has a symptom. Some MIs are unrecognized and so, silent to the patient, although there was a symptom that the patient didn’t recognize as being typical for a heart attack. Patients may mistake their symptoms - for instance, they may say “Oh, that’s just heartburn”, or they may experience heart pain as back pain. Or, in older patients in particular, they may simply have no symptoms at all or simply be feeling down or fatigued or just “off” a particular day. We hear all these stories and, whether it’s truly silent or unrecognized, it’s about 1 in 4 heart attacks that occur in the community. Host: How are silent MIs detected if they cause no symptoms? Dr. Taylor: Detection of unrecognized or silent MI can be a problem because it takes a test to detect it since the patient didn’t experience warning symptoms. Some ways we’ll identify them are using a simple test such as an electrocardiogram, that if it shows the changes of a heart attack, that we would then do further investigations to confirm if the electrocardiogram was true or not. Electrocardiograms can be very useful tests in detecting heart attacks that have been unrecognized, although it’s important to note that there’s both false positive test as well as negative tests. So, the electrocardiogram is not perfect, but it’s our primary tool to detect them. Another test that is very common in use is a heart function test called an echocardiogram. It’s a test using sound waves that looks at the heart function and if an area of the heart was shown to be not functioning properly, we might suspect that it had been impaired by an unrecognized heart attack. And that might lead to further investigations to determine if that was true or not. But the detection is difficult. And so, it takes going to your doctor and having one or two of these tests to see if your heart’s in really good shape. Host: What happens after you discover that a patient has experienced a silent MI? Dr. Taylor: Well, the first thing I say is “Don’t panic.” Let’s dive a little deeper into this. But, what happens then is we’ll just basically use the same evaluation as someone that had a known heart attack and run them through generally simple tests to see. For example, if the EKG or ECG electrocardiogram was abnormal, we’d perhaps get an echocardiogram to see if the heart function was ok. And then maybe a stress test - having somebody walk and then lightly jog on a treadmill while placed on an electrocardiogram to see if that shows any signs of heart stress when being active. And, if that’s not enough, we have very sophisticated tests that we can really dive very deep into heart function and to make sure the arteries are in good shape or, if not, what the depth of the problem is. So, it’s really the same evaluation as someone who has a known heart attack. And if we find there’s truly an abnormality, what then begins, after it’s assessed, is pick the right treatments. Does someone need an artery treatment right up front, and clearly then we’ll move them on to the right preventative treatments to prevent anything further from happening. Host: Who’s at risk for silent MI and should patients worry? Dr. Taylor: It really can be anyone because if it’s truly silent or unrecognized, any of us could mistake, say back pain, for back pain when it was really truly a heart attack. But there’s a few patient populations we’ve really focused on. One would be patients with diabetes. The patients with diabetes often don’t feel pain in the same way. And, they truly can be silent, or they may even experience a heart attack in a day when they simply don’t feel well and maybe their blood sugar control gets worse all of a sudden and they can’t figure out why. In an older patient, particularly in older females, the heart attacks can also be truly silent or unrecognized because they present in odd ways like back pain or a day in which they feel tired or just simply off. But it’s important to know that if anyone is feeling any symptoms that are unexplained - heartburn that’s just a little different than the usual heartburn they’ve experienced and longer lasting - they shouldn’t assume it’s heartburn, but get seen promptly to make sure that, nothing’s going wrong with their heart. Host: What can patients do to reduce their risk of silent MI? Dr. Taylor:  In terms of reducing the risk for it, well it comes down to the core risk factors for heart disease. That is, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, tobacco use, and then leading an optimal lifestyle, regular exercise 30 to 60 minutes most days of the week, avoiding tobacco, eating a diet that’s low in fat and low in sugars. So, it’s a lifestyle approach. Really, knowing your numbers and leading a healthy lifestyle to prevent it. But then not taking symptoms that you think are a little funny for granted. Host: Why is MedStar Washington Hospital Center the best place to seek heart care? Dr. Taylor: Well, I’m very proud of what we do at MedStar Washington Hospital Center and MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute because we simply can take care of anything from the most simple to the most incredibly complex. And we have every possible diagnostic tool to help uncover heart disease and every possible tool then to treat it. No matter the severity, we have a team that can help and that’s another unique aspect of MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute is that when you see one person, you’re really seeing an entire team. An entire team of experts that work together for making your care optimal. Host: Could you share some success stories from your patient population? Dr. Taylor: I have an interesting case - a young man, he’s very overweight but he had come in the hospital in terrible shape and things weren’t quite right. And in fact, in looking at his electrocardiogram, we noticed that there were signs of an old heart attack. And, in fact, what we indeed found in investigating it, was in fact he had an artery that was totally blocked, and it really had helped contribute to this whole illness that started with just a little breathing difficulty and retaining fluid. And by diagnosing the artery blockage, now we’re on a completely different course of care and now we’re seeking some really novel ways to restore blood flow past the total artery blockage. And while it’s unusual for a 30-year-old to have a blocked artery, it was the EKG that tipped us off and it’s really changed the way we’re caring for him. And, while I don’t want to alarm every 30-year-old person out there to say, “Oh my goodness, I could have a totally, artery totally blocked”, it raises the point of leading an optimal lifestyle. Good diet, exercise, maintaining good body weight, avoiding tobacco are the real ways to preserve your artery health. Host: Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Taylor.

Many people use health and fitness apps to set exercise and dietary goals, but these apps can also help diagnose and manage heart conditions.  Dr. Allen Taylor, Chief of Cardiology at the MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute, discusses the evolving role of health and fitness apps in heart care.   TRANSCRIPT Intro: MedStar Washington Hospital Center presents Medical Intel where our healthcare team shares health and wellness insights and gives you the inside story on advances in medicine. Host: Thank you for joining us today, we’re talking with Dr. Allen J. Taylor, Chief of Cardiology at MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute and MedStar Washington Hospital Center. Today we’re talking about the future of wearables as they relate to heart health. In 2017, Apple launched the Apple Heart Study App which is intended to pair with the Apple Watch’s heart rate sensor to notify patients of irregular heart rhythm activity. This is a next step in technology that may help patients and cardiologists monitor and manage heart conditions outside the clinical setting as well as an opportunity to develop more personalized treatment plans based on a continuous flow of data. Dr. Taylor, how do the cardiologists at MedStar Washington Hospital Center currently use data from smartphone or device apps to help patients achieve better heart health? Dr. Taylor: These apps are really the way of the future, aren’t they? Everyone has a smartphone, everyone is tied to their digital life, and so we’re using this in several different ways. The first way is to simply monitor fitness. And the second way is to, in fact, monitor illness. So, for instance for monitoring fitness, you’ve seen people who may have little step monitors or activity monitors that they wear on their wrist as part of a phone or as part of a separate app. And those can be used to set goals or daily targets and really motivate activity. And I think they’re really quite useful. And we can use them to help set fitness goals - how many steps a patient should take or how much activity time they should have. The second way we’re using these is, in fact, to monitor illness. And this is something, I think, that’s really very exciting. This could include things like monitoring heart rhythms, monitoring patient’s fluid status if they have weak heart muscles, or using it to monitor important numbers like blood pressure through wired applications. And, in terms of the heart rhythm, you know, we have patients that are currently monitoring their abnormal heart rhythms using their iPhones and detecting when they’re in or out of certain abnormal heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation, or monitoring for changes in heart rate that might signify or indicate an abnormal heart rhythm. In today’s pacemakers, they’re all wired with these special apps to monitor fluid status. So, even before patients can feel the effects of rising or fluid retention, they can get a warning from their pacemaker to tell them that they’re retaining fluid. And with blood pressure being such an important number these days, trying to get everyone to optimal blood pressure below 130 over 80, we’re finding that those home blood pressure monitoring is more important than even the numbers we get in the clinic. We really rely on patients monitoring their blood pressure because their most accurate blood pressure is the one in their home, the one they live with day-to-day. Not the one that when they come to the clinic every 6-months or every 12-months. And now these blood pressure cuffs are connected by Bluetooth to phones, and we get a nice record of what their home blood pressures have been. It’s very helpful to monitoring and tailoring therapy to get the right level of blood pressure control. So, we use these devices not just to monitor and set fitness goals but really to truly monitor illness. Host: What concerns do you have regarding the use of apps for heart health care? Dr. Taylor: You know, as we move into this digital age, we are all just aware of having our digital lives out there and exposed, and there’s definitely a balance of risk and benefit. For instance, we’re using remote monitoring for pacemaker devices and it creates convenience and we think better outcomes. But there is risk entailed. And so, we’ve got to acknowledge and identify the risk and do all we can to mitigate it. You know, HIPPA or that privacy act that relates to health information, tells us that privacy is very important. And as our digital lives are increasing, so comes more risk with those opportunities. A few things I would advise, though. The first is to make sure that when patients are communicating with their healthcare providers, they’re using secure portals. There can be a lot of sensitive information which can be sent across public means of communication and so use those secure portals to communicate. People should always be careful with their own devices—update the software, make sure the security patches are in place and be careful with the apps you’re downloading to make sure that they’re truly secure. And then lastly, it’ll be heartening, I think, for folks to know that device manufacturers are aware of this. And they’re learning and are increasingly attentive to the risks of their apps or devices for hacking and data breaches. And so, security there is something which they’re helping with, as well. And in the end, I think, it will be a shared responsibility of all of us individuals to have our devices secure, the devices we’re given to be, have optimal security and the healthcare providers for interacting with to respect that data and to manage it in a secure as possible way. But I think, in the end, we see the tremendous opportunity before us to leverage this digital age for better health and the risks, I think we can understand, and it will all work together to make everything as safe as possible. Host: What do you think the future holds as far as using medically-centered apps, such as the Apple Heart Study app, to provide ongoing patient care outside the cardiologist’s office? Dr. Taylor: Yeah, I think the potential is, I won’t say limitless, but I think it’s enormous. Promises for diagnosis, for example, linking this data to portals so we can see what patients are doing, see their activity levels, see what’s happening to their fluid status if they have heart failure, their heart rate status if they have heart rhythm problems, and really, to track their success. Personalized coaching is really out there with these devices. For example, there's devices that will give personalized coaching on diet, if you’re importing your diet, what you’re taking in, or setting exercise targets and encouraging and coaching. And lastly, in heart rhythm problems we’re seeing really great applications, for atrial fibrillation for example, for detecting atrial fibrillation. And when we detect atrial fibrillation, we’re treating patients differently. We’re using blood thinners and proper treatments to prevent problems from occurring. So, I think really the promise is on not just diagnosis of heart problems but the management of heart problems. Because, let’s face it, you go to a doctor twice a year. And there’s a lot of time when other stuff is happening, and it really provides a more complete picture of what’s happening to folks as they live their lives. So, these apps have an important opportunity for us to really give us a full picture of our health lives and also connect it to make better diagnoses and to get the right treatments. Host: Why is MedStar Washington Hospital Center the best place to find technological innovations in heart health care? Dr. Taylor: MedStar’s truly committed to innovations. So much so, we have an institute for innovations called MI2, the MedStar Institute for Innovation. And, in fact, they themselves are developing apps to help patients take better care of themselves and to help us take better care of them. Always seeking ways to leverage our modern digital world for, you know, better and more efficient care. So, I think it’s an exciting time. I think all of us, we’re all people too. We have these same devices, use fitness monitors, and it’s exciting to talk to patients about this to encourage them to use these devices or to use them in different ways. Or, to tell them what’s out there, for fitness, for diagnosing heart rhythm problems or for monitoring their care. So, it’s an exciting time of empowerment in healthcare. And these apps, and this new digital world we live in, are helping with that. Host: Could you share some success stories from your patient population? Dr. Taylor: Oh, I have so many success stories from this digital world, provide a few ideas. One, I have a patient who really diagnosed his own atrial fibrillation. And he was monitoring when it was occurring and found that it was, he was very accurate in detection and, he then was so proactive, he sought out and found the types of treatments that he wanted. And, once he had those treatments in place, he monitored how successful it was and it turned out to be very successful. So, he really found and treated his atrial fibrillation through a digital app. I have another patient that I recently saw, and she came to me and she said, “You know, I’m really working on getting more fit. And I think I am. But when I start to exercise I notice all of a sudden my heart rate is 150.” And she said, “Here, let me show you.” And she brought out her phone, and she showed me her heart rate graph while she was exercising. And, lo and behold, at occasional times during her exercise, her heart rate jumped to 150 and stayed there, in a very unusual way. And, in fact, that made the diagnosis of an abnormal heart rhythm, that we were able to successfully treat with a very simple medication and she’s doing much better. And now she’s monitoring if she’s having any recurrences and she is not. And then, I’ll give a third example of an app that’s called Image Share that let’s doctors use their smartphones to rapidly transmit data in a secure way about heart attack patients to decrease the time to treatment, and that’s an app to increase communication among healthcare professionals in the crisis of taking care of a heart attack. So, some really, really good success stories - really empowered patients, knowledgeable patients, and then apps in a health system to really lead to more efficient and better outcomes.

Todd Blossom, who believes in hydroponics and says, “Hydroponics is a clean, above-ground, pesticide-free way of growing such a variety of plants,” founder of Hartford Fresh, Inc., at Hartford Farms. “It's year-round cultivation. You can space plants as they grow and it's 25 times as productive [as traditional gardening].” The word hydroponics comes from the Greek words meaning “water” and “labor”, and is a method of growing plants, mainly fruits and vegetables, without soil. The plants are placed in trays or inserted into tubing over a container of water with a submergible pump. The pump circulates the water making traditional gardening methods unnecessary. Sometimes, a different medium such as clay pellets, sand, or peat is used to support the plant. But the water filtration is the key to growth.
