COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. ��UTEP rifle team members Abby Monique (smallbore and air rifle) Mara Rouse, Maranda Nelson and Bailey Powell (air rifle only) recently had an amazing opportunity for growth by being invited to compete at the 2017 USA Shooting National Junior Olympic Shooting Championships at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The Miners interacted with and shared the range with some of the best shooters in the sport, including 2016 Rio Olympics Women�s Air Rifle gold medalist Ginny Thrasher.
It marked the first such trip to the event for Rouse while Monique and Powell made their third and Nelson her fourth. The Miners performed admirably, placing three individuals among the top 75 (in a field of nearly 200) in the 10m air rifle.
In order to attend the Junior Olympics, athletes who are under the age of 20 (junior-aged athletes), must compete in a state junior Olympic Shooting championship match and receive an invitation to compete by meeting either an automatic score or win the athlete�s respective state title.
�It was very exciting to have all four of our junior aged athletes qualify and compete at the Junior Olympic Shooting Championships representing UTEP,� UTEP head coach Hannah Muegge said. �I�d like to thank our UTEP parents who came out and supported all of our athletes, in addition to those back home who followed along online. In the collegiate category, we definitely had one of the largest showings at this match. I could not ask for a better support system.�
Powell was exceptional, finishing in 14th place (out of a field of 180) in the 10m air rifle. She was particularly strong on the first day of action with her score (413) placing her eighth heading to the second day.
Monique represented the Orange and Blue in the smallbore. She recorded a score of 1120 to land in the upper-echelon of the field with a 31st-place finish. She also joined Powell in the 10m air rifle, tallying a total score of 804.8 to take 68th place.
Rouse, competing in the 10m air rifle, shot 401.3 in the first day before improving to 402.1 on day two. The total of 803.4 was good enough for 74th.
Nelson was saddled with a rifle malfunction on the first day and had to borrow an air rifle for the second day. Despite the challenges she held her head up high.

Recent research finds alkaline water has a favorable effect on blood viscosity and hydration after exercise. Blood viscosity was reduced by a higher extent following consumption of high-pH water than by normal purified water.
Dehydration has been shown to decrease physical performance and can lead to cardiovascular strain, heat strain, and altered neurologic and metabolic function. Dehydration to the extent in which body mass is reduced by 2% or more is associated with decreasing performance. The loss of water creates thick and viscous blood, which requires more work for the cardiovascular system to circulate.
High-pH alkaline water has been hypothesized to be better than neutral-pH regular water for rehydration. A multi-institute research project including Thomas Jefferson University, Southeast Colorado Hospital, Rheovector, Jacqmar, and the A. J. Drexel Plasma Institute have conducted a study to address whether any significant differences could be found between the two. In order to differentiate whether alkaline water has a discernible effect compared to normal purified water, key biomarkers were evaluated and compared between two test trial groups, which were dehydrated until 2% body weight was lost and then drank either alkaline or normal water to rehydrate.
The researchers selected differences in blood viscosity as a new biomarker �gold-standard� to compare the two groups. They also collected data on other biomarkers including plasma osmolality, bioimpedance, and body mass over 2 hours of recovery. It was found that high-pH water reduced viscosity by 6.30% compared to 3.36% using standard purified water. All other biomarkers showed no difference between the two groups.
The conclusions of this study indicate that alkaline water consumption after exercise-induced dehydration produces significant reductions of blood viscosity compared to drinking normal purified water.
Possible limitations of the study may be found in the competing interests between the study designers and Essentia Water, who received consulting fees and stock options. Consulting fees were also distributed to a lab manager and Rheovector. Further studies should attempt to independently replicate the data without competing interests.
You probably know turmeric as the bright, pungent spice that features in many Indian curry dishes. But according to food writer Tori Avey, in an article for PBS Food, turmeric has been used as medicine for the past 4,500 years. Avey explains in the Indian Ayurvedic (�science of life�) tradition, turmeric is revered for its anti-inflammatory properties, as well as its ability to treat congestion, wounds, bruises and other skin conditions, including smallpox and shingles.
Though turmeric is delicious in eggs, rice, soups and smoothies, as recommended by The Kitchn, it can also be mixed with other household ingredients to make topical treatments and ointments to heal everything from acne to cancer.
1. Heal cuts and wounds. The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral agent. Therefore, according to Turmeric for Health, the spice prevents bacterial infection in open wounds, relieves inflammation and pain, and helps form new skin cells to close wounds. To use turmeric to heal wounds and cuts, simply apply turmeric powder directly to the wound. For additional benefits, you can mix turmeric with linseed oil or ginger paste in order to reduce pain.
2. Facial cleanser and acne treatment. Make an organic facial cleanser using 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon neem oil (made from a tropical tree native to India and the Indian subcontinent) or substitute the neem oil for organic, free-range milk, and 1- 3 drops of lavender oil or coconut oil. According to Healthy Holistic Living, this face mask is especially good for preventing acne breakouts because both the turmeric and neem oil or milk have anti-fungal properties. Livestrong recommends letting the paste dry on your face for 30 minutes to help heal acne scars.
3. Reduce inflammation. An article on WebMd explains the active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, is known to decrease inflammation and swelling. Because of this special property, it has been used to treat inflammatory diseases ranging from Rheumatoid arthritis to Crohn�s disease and from eye inflammation to gingivitis. Livestrong recommends drinking homemade turmeric tea in order to reduce inflammation. To make the tea, boil 4 cups of water with one teaspoon of ground turmeric. Let the tea simmer for 10 minutes and then strain it into a cup. You can add ginger for an extra kick against inflammation.
4. Fight against cancer. According to Cancer Research UK, the curcumin in turmeric has anti-cancer properties. Studies have shown its effectiveness at killing cancer cells and preventing more from growing, especially in breast, bowel, stomach and skin cancer. NutritionFacts.org explains how applying a topical ointment made from turmeric can treat cancers of the skin, mouth and vulva. To make your own turmeric ointment, simply mix store-bought turmeric powder with vaseline and rub it on your cancer three times daily. Patients who suffered from ulcerated cancers that smelled and itched were highly surprised to find the turmeric ointment not only reduced smell and itch, but it also healed lesions.
5. Ease the pain of Psoriasis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease characterized by patches of red, itchy and scaly skin. It can be painful and irritating and the fact that there are no known cures can cause patients much stress and anxiety. There is hope, however. A study published in the Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences, and Applications, found that after 16 weeks of applying a gel made from curcumin, while avoiding allergens and dairy products, as well as continuing the use of topical steroids and antibiotics, almost three-quarters of patients were completely cleared of symptoms. To use turmeric topically, Healthline recommends making a thick paste by simmering one part turmeric and two parts water in a saucepan.
6. Treat Eczema. Jen, of the blog Eczema Holistic Healing, posted a series of personal photographs to show the positively amazing effects of a turmeric face mask on eczema around the mouth. Jen�s simple home remedy was made using a dash of turmeric and a spoonful of organic virgin coconut oil. She mixed the two ingredients and used it on her dry and scaly skin. After just one day, she saw a visible difference and after four days, was completely relieved of flaking, cracking, irritated skin.
7. Boost oral health and hygiene. You might be surprised to hear that a bright yellow spice used for centuries to dye textiles is good for oral health. But in fact, a study published in the Journal for Contemporary Dental Practice found that turmeric is equally effective as a mouthwash as typical store-bought products in preventing plaque and gingivitis. Further, the anti-cancer properties of turmeric make it effective for combatting cancer growth, according to a study published in the International Journal of Oncology. To make your own turmeric mouthwash, simply stir turmeric powder into warm water, according to The Alternative Daily. You can also dissolve 10 mg of turmeric extract in 100 ml of water and add peppermint oil for flavoring. Turmeric for Health suggests making a toothpaste using 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of mustard oil.
8. Decrease signs of aging. Multicultural Beauty Expert Gerrie Summers claims turmeric is an excellent skin polisher. Her homemade recipe should become a regular part of your beauty routine to combat signs of aging. To make Summers� skin polisher, mix 1 tablespoon of gram or chickpea flour with 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric and 2 teaspoons of milk. The flour will prevent the turmeric from staining the skin, while also helping to shed dead skin. Milk is used to firm the skin and to slow the formation of wrinkles. Rub the mixture onto your skin and let it dry for 10 minutes. Gently wipe the mask off with your fingertips and then rinse your face with lukewarm water. You can also use a combination of turmeric, gram flour, jojoba oil, lemon juice and milk in order to make a skin brightener that hides age spots and reduce wrinkles.

Two nutrients long associated with eye health, lutein and zeaxanthin, are also good for the brain, say researchers at the University of Georgia. Known as the macular carotenoids, they have been proven to enhance vision and to reduce the risk of vision loss in people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Researchers found that lutein and zeaxanthin improved psychological stress levels and reduced levels of cortisol — the stress-related hormone — in the blood.
Fifty-nine healthy, young adults aged 18 to 25 participated in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. At the beginning, all had blood cortisol levels measured as well as psychological stress ratings, behavioral measures of mood, and symptoms of sub-optimal health.
Volunteers were then given a daily supplement of 10/2 or 20/4 milligrams of lutein/zeaxanthin, or a placebo. They were tested again at 6 and 12 months.
The results show that supplementation of both doses for 6 months significantly improved psychological stress, serum cortisol, and measures of emotional and physical health compared to placebo.
“This compelling research demonstrates the expanded benefits of supplementing with lutein and zeaxanthin isomers to help address the huge public health concern surrounding elevated stress and cortisol levels,” said Abhijit Bhattacharya, President of OmniActive Health Technologies Ltd., producers of Lutemax 2020, the supplement used in the study.
Both lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, which are the pigments that give some foods such as carrots their bright color. They function as antioxidants and numerous studies have found they may lower the risk of many diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in dark green, leafy vegetables and yellow and orange produce. One of the best food sources of both lutein and zeaxanthin is cooked spinach.
