By Jordan Goldstein | Feb. 19, 2005, midnight | In Print »

We've all heard it before: good nutrition and exercise are the keys to a healthy lifestyle. But many people complain that they just don't have the time or opportunity to exercise. Therefore, a Silver Chips Online investigation has been conducted of local gyms open from sun-up to sun-down that offer a variety of machines, classes and pools for members. So now, there's no more excuses. It's time to start up those forgotten New Year's resolutions and get in shape.

NHL must use this travesty to revamp its product

By Michael Bushnell | Feb. 18, 2005, midnight | In Print »

What the NHL Players Association needed during the last couple of months was some Dr. Phil. They needed to get real. This season went dark for five months because both sides were lazy in meeting and starting a real dialogue. But it ended because the union is blind to all the red ink this league has been hemorrhaging the last 10 years. And now, as a result, the league will need to dramatically overhaul their whole product, or risk oblivion.

The changing face of gangs

A gun blow to the back of the head late last September. A wrecking at Wheaton Plaza in November that nearly ended in death. A brutal beating in June from those she now calls her closest family. A knife fight after a skipping party early last July.

Blazer offense sputters on Senior Night

By Dan Greene | Feb. 18, 2005, midnight | In Print »

FEB. 18, NELSON H. KOBREN MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM- After a resounding victory over Gaithersburg and a near win on the road at Wootton, Blair fell into their old habits on Senior Night tonight against Whitman, falling 59-45 to the Vikings. The Blazers' (2-17) ineffectual offense, including three points total in the second quarter, and frequent turnovers led to a blowout loss against a team that was far from Blair's toughest competition this season.

Blair band and orchestra patrons are making music

By Alexander Gold | Feb. 18, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Wherever the band goes, they're there. If the Marching Band goes to perform on "It's Academic," they drive along. If the Honors Jazz Band, Orchestra and Marching Band recruit students at middle schools for next year, they come. If the instrumental music program has a concert, they sponsor a bake sale in the lobby. "They" are the Blair Band and Orchestra Patrons (BBOPs), and they're not superheroes, just committed parents.
