IT&E brings down Comets I

Posted on by

Thursday, March 13, 2014

IT&E snapped the Comets Is streak after cruising to a 10-1 win in the third game in the Major division of the 2014 Saipan Little League Baseball League last Saturday at the Miguel Tan Ge Basa Pangelinan Ballfield.

Spencer Dickinson nearly pitched a complete game, working the mound for IT&E (7-2) in 5.2 innings and allowing only two hits, while striking out eight to hand the Comets I its first loss in seven games. Christopher Achas relieved him at the bottom of the sixth inning and the former got the quick No. 3 out, catching a fly ball from Comets I third batter Ross Arriola. Dickinson nailed the first out, striking out fellow pitcher Francisco Frederick, while IT&E second baseman Denzel Pangilinan and first baseman Philip Kapileo teamed up for the second out.

The shutout in the fifth and sixth inning capped the Comets Is game-long struggle against Dickinson and the rest of IT&Es defense. The second-running Comets I only scored at the bottom of the second inning with Glenn Taro reaching home off a passed ball.

Earlier at the top of the second, Jaime Pangelinan had a solo inside-the-park homer, while Dickinson made an RBI single, giving IT&E a 6-0 lead. The first four runs were recorded in the first inning off the Comets Is lapses. IT&E got three more unearned runs in the fourth to widen the gap, while the last run was registered at the top of the sixth with Frankin Pangelinans sacrifice out bringing Dickinson home.

Dickinson was perfect at the plate and scored three runs, the most by any player in the game.

Laolao Bay 10, Hustlers 7 J.P. Celis shut out the Hustlers in the last four innings to lift Laolao Bay to a come-from-behind win last Sunday.

Celis was Laolao Bays third pitcher in the match, taking over from A.C. Kalen late in the second inning with the Hustlers leading, 7-4. The closer went on to allow only two hits and struck out six. Celis fouled the Hustlers best chance to score in the fourth inning when he got back-to-back strikeouts and stranded runners and second and third. Then in the sixth and final inning, Celis booted out the Hustlers first two batters and after giving up a double to Juan Lizama, he wrapped the game with another strikeout (on Winfield Ada).

Laolao Bay complemented Celis steady pitching with a good offense in the third and fourth inning. Franco Namauleg drilled a two-run double and also scored off a fielders choice in the third inning to even out the match, 7-all. Laolao Bay then grabbed the lead in the fourth with Kalen scoring off an error at first base and gained cushion after notching two more runs off another Hustlers miscue and a stolen base from Tommy Agulto.

McDonalds 21, Jets 1 In the second game, McDonalds hammered the Jets to stretch its winning run to four after a 0-3 start. The Jets continued their slump, falling to a 0-6 slate.

Comets comeback falls just short

Posted on by

Facing a 12-point halftime deficit against the number-two ranked team in the state, Abington Heights battled back with a 12-2 run in the third quarter to cut the lead to five points, but Archbishop Carroll held on for a 59-55 win over the Comets in a PIAA Class AAA boys basketball clash at Parkland High School in Allentown Tuesday night.

Archbishop Carroll junior forward Derrick Jones scored seven of his 17 points in the fourth quarter, including a critical three-point play in the final minute when his team was trailing by a point.

I apologized to him because we went away from him, Archbishop Carroll head coach Paul Romanczuk said. I should have stepped up earlier and got him the basketball in better situations. We made that adjustment during one of the timeouts, and he responded and played great.

With the Comets trailing 38-26 with 6:30 left in the third quarter, Abington Heights senior guard J.C. Show started the comeback attempt with a three-point play. After a basket by Patriots center Ernest Aflakpui, Ethan Danzig and Joe Carroll each knocked down a 3-pointer to cut the lead to three points with 4:42 left in the third.

We knew we had to give it everything we had, Danzig said. We were down 12, they got up on us quick and we were hanging our heads a little bit, but we knew that if we wanted to compete, we would need to start making plays. We did that, we just couldnt put it away.

Carroll hit another 3-pointer to tie the score at 49 late in the fourth quarter and Show, who finished with 17 points and six assists, converted a three-point play to cap a 10-2 and give Abington Heights (27-1) a 52-49 lead with 3:23 left in the game.

It was all heart, Abington Heights head coach Ken Bianchi said. They had a lot of talent, but we had the heart and we fought back and went up three.

Im just so proud of our guys. The season they had was remarkable. We had four guys starting for the first time and they all blended together. I told them, dont let this defeat take away from the season that we had.

Samir Taylor made two free throws and Josh Sharkey added another in the final seconds to seal the win for the Patriots.

We battled them, Show said, but it was tough playing against their size and athleticism. I thought we handled it pretty well, unfortunately, we just didnt make enough shots.

Rough life: The $1 million traveler would need to visit Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands.

Imagine the following help wanted ad.

"Now Hiring: Candidate wanted to take a $1 million trip around the world for free. The applicant will spend a year eating at the finest restaurants, sleeping at five-star hotels and enjoying the world's most elite nightclubs and resorts. Applicants should love good food, fine culture and 'exceeding extravagance.' Ability to write is a plus. Couples can also apply."

Sound like a fantasy? It's not. Two luxury travel companies Luxury Travel Intelligence and VeryFirsttoKnow.com are searching for someone to take a one-year, $1 million vacation around the world for free. The only requirement is that the traveler write detailed reports on all of their experiences.

"It's like a secret shopper," said Amar Thapen, editor in chief of VeryFirstToKnow.com, a website that gives members first looks at luxury experiences and trips when they launch. "But they have to be very discerning."

The job is all part of Luxury Travel Intelligence's fast-growing business of providing detailed, objective ratings on high-end travel. While the company relies on its own research team and reviews, it hopes the new luxury vacationer will improve its research. Getting people to review everyday trips and experiences on Trip Advisor and Yelp may be easy, but getting the rich to review top travel sites is more challenging.

"Some of these people don't like to rock the boat," Thapen said. "And they don't like to be out there publicly criticizing."The $1 million traveler will visit more than 50 "leading global travel destinations with particular focus on trending hotels, restaurants and nightlife," the companies said. They will do all of the visits incognito and write detailed reports on the service, quality and experience of each location.

Thapen said that just because someone likes to travel, doesn't mean they will be a good candidate. The ideal candidate would be well-versed in the world of high-end hotels, restaurants and experiences and be able to immediately tell a 1978 DRC from a 2001 Lafite.

"They should know exactly what to expect from the best restaurants and hotels," Thapen said. He added that they also need to look like they belong at a luxury hotel or restaurant "and be sociable."

Travel before the World Wide Web

Posted on by

In 1989, before no-frills airlines, online check-in, and price comparison sites had taken off, airline tickets were generally impenetrably complicated paper documents - laboriously hand written by a travel agent, with several sheets of carbon paper inserted between the leaves. Lose one, and you had to pay for it to be re-issued. You could check in only at the airport of course, and take pretty much anything you liked through security - including liquids and fold-away penknives.

Meals, luggage, seat allocation and credit card fees were all included in the fare, but there was far less competition, and far fewer routes generally. Your best bet for a cheap fare on a scheduled flight in Europe was likely to be on Dan Airs rather limited network (it was sold to BA in 1992) or with Air Europe (which collapsed with the tour operator, Intasun in 1991). Freddie Lakers Skytrain had been and gone, Virgin Atlantic was just five years old. Stansted Airport was still housed in an old military terminal and used almost exclusively for charter flights. At Heathrow, terminal five didnt exist, terminal four was only three years old, and there was no Heathrow Express.

Booking hotels and villas

The vast majority of people booked with tour operators or travel agents. The brochure - nearly always printed on cheap paper and often criticised for misleading descriptions, and selective photography - was king. If you wanted to make a hotel booking independently, you would have to research the one you wanted through a guide book, make an expensive international call, and follow up with a letter, or the latest in new-fangled technology, a fax message - though you wouldnt have a fax at home, and might not even have access to one in the office.

Hotel room prices were largely fixed rack rates which depended on season. There were no last-minute agents either - walk in customers could still get last-minute bargains, otherwise you had to pay the going rates. Finally, there was, of course, no way of finding out what other people thought of a hotel. You couldnt easily seach for a villa either - agents and operators, most of which now nolonger exist, controlled the market.

Information

Getting local information was generally either impossible, or expensive and time-consuming. Snow reports were not published, so you didnt know what the snow was like until you met the rep at the airport. The same went for the local weather. The first you knew would be the captains update as you came in to land. If you wanted to find the location of a hotel or a villa, there was no Gogle maps - you would need the address, and a map, which probably had to be ordered specially from a London specialist, such as Stanfords in Covent Garden. And, of course, on arrival, there were no smart phones to plot your route, or check some history. You had to be able to read a map, and you certainly had to buy a guidebook.

In short, the internet has fundamentally changed the way we research and book our holidays. We can compare prices, find accommodation and research the most obscure details without even having to pick up a phone. We are certainly saving money, and taking more responsibility for what we book, but perhaps we are having to spend more time about it. And whether or not we enjoy our holidays any more as a result, is open to question,

Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center: What The Stem Cell Procedure Entails and An Invitation To MSCTC Public Seminar; Meet …

Posted on by

Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) March 12, 2014

The Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center, PC, located in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, and Boca Raton, Florida, offers a free public seminar on the use of stem cells for various degenerative and inflammatory conditions. They will be provided by Dr. Thomas A. Gionis, Surgeon-in-Chief, and, Dr. Nia Smyrniotis, Medical Director. The next upcoming seminar will be held on March 16th at the Comfort Suites Weston, 2201 N. Commerce Parkway, Weston, Florida 33326, at 2pm.

Regenerative Medicine: Our Procedure The Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center uses Autologous Adult Adipose Stem Cells to provide care for patients suffering from chronic conditions that may benefit from adult stem cell-based regenerative medicine.

The Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center follows the regenerative medicine procedures developed by the California Stem Cell Treatment Centers (CSCTC) and Cell Surgical Network (CSN) which involves the initial screening, examination and evaluation of every potential candidate for stem cell investigational therapy by one of our physicians. Once a patient is deemed to be an appropriate candidate, the procedure itself is performed by our Surgeon-in-Chief, who is assisted by a team of experienced surgical team members and surgical technicians. The entire process from start to finish takes less than two hours. It is relatively painless, and recovery time is minimal.

In recent times, the bone marrow has been a source for stem cells. Taking bone marrow, however, is a painful procedure. Fat, however, contains many times more stem cells than bone marrow and is much easier and safer to harvest.

For many disease types such as cardiac pathology, adipose derived cells appear to be showing superiority to bone marrow derived cells. This may be related to the well documented fact that chronic disease causes bone marrow suppression. Fat derived cells are a natural choice for our investigational work considering their easy and rapid availability in extremely high numbers.

With our current technology, we can harvest your own fat cells, digest the fat cells and separate out the stem cells. The most significant advantage of using your fat as a source for the stem cells, is that the procedure can be done in the office in only a few hours, as the stem cells can be ready for injection after only 60 minutes of processing with our state of the art equipment. Your stem cells do NOT need to be sent out for processing and there is no need for you to travel outside of the U.S. to have them injected.

Indeed, adipose tissue is an abundant source of mesenchymal stem cells, which have shown promise in the field of regenerative medicine. Furthermore, these cells can be readily harvested in large numbers with low donor-site morbidity. During the past decade, numerous studies have provided pre-clinical data on the safety and efficacy of adipose-derived stem cells, supporting the use of these cells in clinical applications. Various clinical trials have shown the regenerative capability of adipose-derived stem cells in numerous fields of medicine. In addition, a great deal of knowledge concerning the harvesting, characterization, and culture of adipose-derived stem cells has been reported.

Our current areas of study include: Heart Failure, Emphysema, COPD, Asthma, Parkinsons Disease, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, and orthopedic joint injections. . The investigational protocols utilized by the Miami Stem Cell Treatment Center have been reviewed and approved by an IRB (Institutional Review Board) which is registered with the U.S. Department of Research Protections; and the study is registered with http://www.Clinicaltrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Haida used tattoos to express status, spirituality

Posted on by

According to Simon Fraser Universitys Bill Reid Centre for Northwest Coast Art Studies, the Haida practised tattooing for generations before European contact. The tattoo marks themselves were indicative of status, spiritual devotion and decoration, the centre explains on its website.

Individuals expressed their part in a social unit, a moiety, or a lineage through body art and adornment. In this sense, tattoos put a persons identity and spiritual connections on display through the use of crest figures and/or guardian spirits.

The designs used for tattooing were usually acquired through heredity, and crests of the bearer were dependent on their lineage.

A tattoo kit consisted of five cedar batons for skin-pricking, a lump of magnetite for pigment, a paint-grinding stone and a set of cedar brushes that were elaborately carved with crest figures.

Originally, sharp thorns, fish spines or bones were used for tattooing, the centre explains.

Later, as copper became more readily available, the tattooing implements were made of the metal and featured three needle points the middle point of the three being the longest which were attached to a handle. The handles were made of flat strips of ivory or bone, or from thin strips of wood that were of various widths.

Pigments that left a bluish tint on the skin were said to have been made from the charcoal of alder or buckbrush. Black pigment was made of magnetite, gunpowder, India ink or powdered charcoal. Red pigment was said to be made from Chinese vermilion or hematite.

First, the design was drawn onto the person to be tattooed in a dark pigment. The design would then be pricked in with the needles, and then more pigment would be rubbed into the design in order to achieve the desired hue.

Rarely did the chiefs do the tattooing themselves; instead, they hired skilled tattoo artists to perform the work. For men, tattoos were generally placed on the chest, the upper back between the shoulders, upper and lower arms, and the front of thighs and lower legs. For women, the chest, the shoulders, the forearms, hands and lower leg were tattooed.

When a chief held a potlatch he would select individuals to be honoured with tattoos, which would be unveiled during a dance at the potlatch. Even little kids were invited to this process but they werent tattooed until they stopped growing. The family would pay in blankets, and paint designs on their kids, a way of preparing them to go through the ceremony as they got older.
