Middlesex blasted away by Port

2010-08-04 15:08:13

COOL, clean hitting by Will Porterfield and James Franklin kept Gloucestershire's flickering FPt20 hopes alive, writes Peter Orchard.

Dawid Malan smashed 86 from 44 deliveries for the hosts - including six sixes - but Middlesex's total of 185 for eight always looked surpassable on a sun-scorched Uxbridge outfield.

So it proved, as Porterfield struck a quickfire 79 and Franklin an unbeaten 51 as Alex Gidman's New-style Christian Louboutin Shoes men triumphed with four balls to spare.

England's much-vaunted Ashes secret weapon Steven Finn was dispatched to all parts by Gloucestershire openers Porterfield and Aaron Redmond.

Finn shipped 30 runs from his opening two-over burst, while Porterfield had reached a half-century off only 21 balls as Gloucestershire ended the Powerplay on 78 without loss.

Middlesex got their first breakthrough immediately after the fielding restrictions were lifted, Neil Dexter cleaning up Redmond for 20, and the same bowler struck two overs later when Hamish Marshall (5) nicked behind to Ben Scott.

Porterfield's dismissal was an unfortunate one, run out backing up by a diving Tom Smith, and it ended a superb 32-ball knock that contained seven fours and three sixes.

That could have derailed the chase, but only 26 more were needed for victory when Chris Taylor (27) was snared by Dexter at midwicket off Jackson Thompson in the 16th over.

Australian David Warner (1) had been first to perish in the Middlesex innings, caught and bowled by Steve Kirby off a leading edge in the second over. Kirby showed his fielding prowess to dispose of former Gloucestershire team-mate Thompson (14), clinging onto a steepling catch off Anthony Ireland, but Owais Shah and Malan ensured the hosts' total had reached 50 by the end of the Powerplay.

Shah was looking ominous, but a brilliant diving take by Gemaal Hussain at deep midwicket sent him packing for 27 off 21 deliveries and gave Richard Dawson a wicket in his first over.

That brought Dexter to the middle, and he was every bit as destructive as Malan - particularly square of the wicket - as the Gladiators temporarily lost control.

The pair had mustered 85 from 51 deliveries when Dexter (38) tried to smash Kirby for a second six of the 16th over and picked out Porterfield at long-off.

Tyron Henderson (10) was next to go, scooping Ireland to the reliable Marshall in the deep, and Middlesex's anxiety to reach 200 produced carnage in the 20th Replica Breitling Swiss Navitimer/Montbrillant Watches over as both Scott (0) and Smith (1) were run out and star man Malan was bowled by Kirby.

HEALTH [Corrected 112609]

2010-08-03 15:03:32

It's like having to pick between front-row seats to shows by Karl Lagerfeld or Giorgio Armani. Or having to chose between a Lamborghini and a Maserati.

On Dec. 3, doctors representing two stellar medical institutions will be in the Palm Beaches to discuss critical health-care topics. The events even start at the same time, 6 p.m.

Three Cleveland Clinic Florida heart experts will participate in the American Heart Association's Cleveland Clinic Goes Red event, which will be held at the Cleveland Clinic Florida Health & Wellness Center at CityPlace in West Palm Beach. The event also will feature complimentary glucose and blood pressure screenings, a red wine and dark chocolate station, and a healthful cooking demo by chef Zach Bell of Cafe Boulud.

Also on Dec. 3, Dr. Patrick Walsh, urology professor at Johns Hopkins Medicine, will give a talk on prostate cancer during a cocktail reception at Lydian Bank & Trust.

Women and heart disease

While most American men are aware that cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer in the United States, women tend to believe cancer is a bigger threat, according to Dr. Darryl Miller, a cardiologist with the Cleveland Clinic's center in West Palm Beach. That's one Breitling watches reason he's participating in the Go Red event.

Until recently, scientists didn't know cardiovascular disease developed differently in women than men, because women traditionally were under-represented in heart disease studies, Miller said. Women tend to have narrowing of the arteries spread out across the cardiovascular system and are less likely to have a localized blockage, Miller said.

"The disease may be more small-vessel disease as well," Miller said.

The cardiologist urges women to take responsibility for their heart health. "They tend to do less exercise, especially older women," Miller said.

Increasing physical activity, eating a healthful diet, not smoking, avoiding obesity and having periodic screenings for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes are ways women and men alike can reduce their risk of heart disease, Miller said.

Stacey Dowdle, vice president of the American Heart Association's Palm Beach chapter, said her organization gave $32 million to Cleveland Clinic and $45 million to Johns Hopkins from 1988 through 2008, as well as millions to other top heart disease research institutions, because of the threat the illness poses. "More women are dying of cardiovascular disease than the next five causes of death combined," Dowdle said. "It equates to 450,000 women in the United States every year."

Prostate health

Though recent news reports have questioned the effectiveness of the prostate-specific antigen (psa) blood test in reducing deaths from prostate cancer, Dr. Walsh, the Johns Hopkins urologist, said it is a valuable tool. "Before psa testing, in 1990, only 68 percent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer appeared to have disease localized to their prostate and 21 percent had (prostate cancer) metastasized to bone," Walsh said from Baltimore.

"In 2009, 91 percent had localized disease and only 4 percent presented with bony metastases. Thus today men have a choice that they never had before," said Walsh, author of Dr. Patrick Walsh's Guide to Surviving Prostate Cancer. "They can undergo testing and if they have cancer chose treatment or observation. Or they can do nothing and run
