Tuesday

Ronstadt Generations

to appear in concert

Mention the name Ronstadt along with a reference to music in Tucson, and what comes to mind are the rich harmonies of traditional Southwestern and Mexican songs alongside creative original material that keep audiences coming back for more.

The latest link in the Ronstadt familys musical traditions will be heard at the Arizona Senior Academy when Ronstadt Generations y Los Tucsonenses appear in concert at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Michael J. Ronstadt (brother of the renowned Linda Ronstadt) and his sons Michael G. and Petie, all multi-instrumentalists and solo performers in their own right, formed Ronstadt Generations in 2009 and released their first album, Lulo.

Their new compositions place them on the cutting edge of multiple blended genres, stretching the boundaries of folk, blues and jazz.

In 2012, veteran musicians Alex Flores (tenor saxophone), Sam Eagon (bass) and Aaron Emery (drums) added their varied experiences and influences to form Ronstadt Generations y Los Tucsonenses, releasing the expanded bands CD Prelude that year.

Their forthcoming CD, Epilogue, includes unfinished songs from the Prelude recording sessions.

Tuesdays show at Academy Village will feature Ronstadt family stories, traditional songs, old Mexican chestnuts and exciting original music. New arrangements of favorites by songwriters such as Stephen Stills, Jimmie Rodgers, Paul Simon, Merle Travis and Robert Johnson may be heard as well.

The governors aerospace checklist, sans Machinists

Published: Wednesday, March 12, 2014, 8:05 p.m.

The report, which was released Tuesday, highlights the states considerable efforts but doesnt give any credit to the Machinists union, which actually ensured the new airplane will be assembled in Washington.

Boeing promised union members that if they passed a concession-laden contract, the 777X line and wing fabrication would be based here. Union members narrowly approved the contract in a Jan. 3 vote.

To be sure, the governor put in many long hours trying to land the 777X, including getting the Legislature to pass the countrys biggest corporate tax break and to allocate some money to workforce training, supporting streamlined permitting and essentially promising Boeing that the states water-quality standards wont be changed without the aerospace companys considerable input.

Well never know if those things alone would have been enough to land the 777X. Maybe Boeing was just bluffing and trying to get a better deal with the Machinists.

Inslee has repeatedly thanked the members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) who approved the contract. It was a bitterly emotional vote, and many members said they resented Inslee and other politicians for inserting themselves into the debate by calling for a second vote after local union leaders had rejected a revised Boeing offer.

Looking forward, the state has to focus on ensuring Boeing can smoothly expand facilities in Everett to make room for the 777X, states the governors progress report.

The report is based on the states five-year aerospace industry strategy, which Inslee unveiled last May.

Action items include building on the 777X siting decision by recruiting international companies to set up shop in Washington; help Spokane attract large-scale aerospace manufacturing; support research in advanced-materials manufacturing; pass a transportation-funding package that will among many things make it easier for goods and people to move around; and expand the aerospace business-and-occupation tax credit.

While the state won the 777X thanks to the Machinists union, lawmakers and the fact Everett was really the only place that made financial sense Washington came up short on two big items.

Explosive, Daring Cosmos Just Launched a New Crusade for Science

On Sunday night, viewers saw the first episode of a followup series, Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey, hosted by astrophysicist and science educator Neil deGrasse Tyson. It had been nearly 35 years since Carl Saganinspired a generation of scientists with 1980s 13-part series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. Immediately, one thing became clear: This is not your parents Cosmos.

The ideas and driving principles behind it are the same, but along with its new host, Cosmos has new urgency, and a new edge. Sagans Cosmos was awash with dream-like wonder, as personal as its title implied, colored by Sagans agnosticism. Tysons is different: informed by a generation of additional understanding and discovery and special effects too, its faster, brighter, and more explosive and more daring in its evangelism for science.

Sagans approach to science education was personal, almost intimately so. In contrast, Tyson has mastered the art of communicating his passion for ideas without exposing much about the man behind them. Tyson has gone to great lengths to avoid identifying with any specific ideological groups hes famous for saying that the only -ist he identifies as is scientist and hes long argued that science itself is fundamentally apolitical.

There comes a point, however, where the choice to present the universe through an evidence-based lens is itself a political act.

We live in an era where the very concept of truth is politicized; where policy-makers and voters and journalists stand in denial of demonstrable science in favor of magical thinking and faith; where science warped by dogma is given equal footing in classrooms and Congress; where teaching the controversy forces educators to lend false weight to bad science in the name of religion and tradition. And that has cost science the luxury of neutrality. In choosing to argue actively for science, without apologies or appeasement, Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey has thrown down a gauntlet.

But it might not be the gauntlet you expect.

Most of the controversy and criticism thats arisen around the first episode of A Space-Time Odyssey surrounds the choice of 16th-century philosopher Giordano Bruno as the first historical figure for the show to highlight. Bruno was a philosopher, not a hard scientist, and as Tyson points out, his theory of a heliocentric solar system and infinite cosmos was a lucky guess rather than the result of concrete evidence or research.

The value in Brunos tale and its relevance to Cosmos lies in what it says about science in a social and cultural context. In a recent interview with Space.com, Tyson emphasized that the shows historical profiles exist not only to highlight the discoveries of scientists, but also what comes when those [discoveries] encountered the social, political, cultural and religious mores of the day.

Brunos story, then, is less about a specific scientific discovery than the curiosity and willingness to challenge the reigning philosophy of the time that enables science. Its about the moral and human imperative to discovery, even in the face of opposition, and testament to the power of imagination as a catalyst for exploration. That Brunos view of the cosmos happened to be correct is incidental: what matters is that there, as elsewhere in his heretical philosophy, he dared to question rather than bow mindlessly to tradition.

It would have been easy to frame the segment as anti-religious, and its certainly been decried as such by some religious blogs, but that criticism is short-sighted and it misses a larger point.

Top Las Vegas Pain Management Clinic, Nevada Pain, Now Offering Stem Cell Therapy to Help Avoid Joint Replacement

Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) March 12, 2014

The top Las Vegas pain management centers, Nevada Pain, are now offering regenerative medicine treatments including stem cell therapy and platelet rich plasma therapy. These treatments offer significant potential for repairing injured soft tissues and arthritis. Call (702) 323-0553 for more information and scheduling.

Traditional pain management treatments typically work exceptionally well, however, they act as a proverbial "band aid" to mask pain. Regenerative medicine, on the other hand, may regenerate damaged tissue while providing exceptional pain relief.

Treatments are offered by the Board Certified, Award Winning Las Vegas pain management doctors at Nevada Pain. Platelet rich plasma therapy is one of the treatments offered, which involves a simple blood draw from the patient. The blood is spun rapidly to create a mixture of concentrated platelets and growth factors, which is then injected into the problem area.

Stem cell injections involve treatments with either bone marrow, fat derived or amniotic derived material. The injections are offered as an outpatient and involve very little risk. Each treatment provides a significant concentration of growth factors and stem cells to help with repair.

In addition to regenerative medicine options, Nevada Pain offers over 50 pain management treatments including radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulator implants, several types of epidural injections, and all kinds of nerve blocks. Success rates at the clinic typically exceed 90%.

For more information and scheduling, call (702) 323-0553.

DaSilva Institute of Anti-Aging, Regenerative & Functional Medicine Offers Autologous Stem Cell Therapy for Men …

Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) March 12, 2014

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the most commonly studied disorder when it comes to male sexual dysfunction. It is estimated that 18 million men in the US alone suffer from erectile dysfunction and that it appears to be affecting 1 in 4 males under age 40 according to a study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.

While the emphasis of treatments for ED focuses on relieving the symptoms, they only provide a temporary solution rather than a cure or reversing the cause.

The DaSilva Institute is excited to announce the recruitment of males suffering from ED, in an IRB study, which will look at the safety, and efficacy of autologous, adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) in regenerating the causes of ED.

The evidence shows that ADSCs reverses the pathophysiological changes leading to ED, rather than treating the symptoms of ED. Not only is the data in the literature compelling, but our own, in-house, results on our patients have been phenomenal, states Dr. DaSilva.

The many underlying causes for ED that are being investigated range from those secondary to aging, to injury of the cavernous nerve secondary to injury, surgery and/or radiation of the prostate, to diabetic ED and Peyronies Disease to name a few. According to Dr. DaSilva, the possibilities for ADSCs in reversing ED are limitless.

Currently, there is an expansive and growing body of evidence in the medical literature strongly indicating that ADSCs might be a potential cure for ED, rather than merely symptom relief, which is indicative of the increasing interest in ADSC-regenerative options for sexual medicine over the past decade. The DaSilva Institutes goal is to take this from pre-clinical studies to the clinical world offering it to all males that suffer from intractable ED under an IRB approved protocol.

More information about Dr. DaSilva and the DaSilva Institute Guy DaSilva, MD is currently the medical director of the DaSilva Institute of Anti-Aging, Regenerative & Functional Medicine, located in Sarasota, Florida. Dr. DaSilvas enthusiasm for using autologous stem cells in regenerative medicine comes from his early days as a pathologist in New York City back in 1987 and later as a fellow in hematology in1990 following his residency in internal medicine.

He later brought his expertise in molecular and cellular medicine to the University of Kansas Medical Center where he served as chief of Hematology & Hematopathology. He later became the CEO and medical director of HemePath Institute, a diagnostic leader in diagnosing the most difficult cases of leukemia and lymphomas. Most recently, Dr. DaSilva teamed up with one of the most influential stem cell scientist in the world to bring the highest quality and viability of the harvested stem cells, bar none, to the DaSilva Institute.

Dr. DaSilva is board certified and fellowship trained in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. For more information about Dr. DaSilva or the DaSilva Institute go to http://www.dasilvainstitute.com.

Anti-aging doctor linked to Vitor Belfort: TRT ban pushes fighters to black market

Dr. John Pierce, a Las Vegas-based anti-aging doctor, has heard from several fighters who say theyd rather go to the black market for performance-enhancing drugs than get a therapeutic-use exemption (TUE) for testosterone.

But now that the Nevada State Athletic Commission has closed the TUE program for testosterone-replacement therapy (TRT), he believes everyone will go the illicit route.

What theyve in essence done is taken people that were forthright about their usage of testosterone for a medical purpose and punished them for it, Pierce told MMAjunkie. That makes no sense because, bottom line, its going to happen.

Instead of having a physician involved in the care of a patient monitoring their levels, where youre getting a test all the time, much more so than you would a normal patient because of the nature of their work youre going to get people doing it underground, using black market steroids, not bio-identical hormones that have not been tested. They could potentially get themselves sick injecting themselves with whatever.

And then, at that juncture, theyre cheating because theyre not being forthright about it.

Among thousands seeking a license to fight in the state, the NSAC has issued a total of six exemptions to MMA fighters over the past seven years until its decision this past month to ban them outright. The regulatory body also turned away several fighters who sought a TUE as the exemption process became more public and more controversial. There was, however, widespread belief in the MMA community that prior to the ban, the NSAC was helping to legitimize the use of a performance-enhancing drug.

NSACs TRT ban sets off dominoes

NSAC representatives repeatedly defended the practice of granting exemptions in the past, citing safeguards to avoid abuse, but they starkly reversed course in the recent meeting that produced the ban.

Asked whether the NSACs now-shuttered exemption process had steered athletes from the black market to above-board medical professionals, Pierce, an emergency medicine doctor who heads Las Vegas Ageless Forever clinic, initially said, It had the potential to do that, and in my experience, it did do that. He then clarified that he hadnt explicitly treated any fighters in such a situation, but he had spoken casually about it among Las Vegas large fight community.

I actually have had people tell me that doing it the illicit way was much easier, he said. They wouldnt even consider doing it the legal way, because it would be much easier to do it the illicit way. They wouldnt be under as much scrutiny.

Comets Return to MISL Championship Series

March 11, 2014 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) Missouri Comets INDEPENDENCE, Mis. (March 10, 2014) - The Missouri Comets will return to the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) Championship Series for the second straight season. Although, they easily defeated the Milwaukee Wave on Sunday afternoon in the opening game of the series, they had to work much harder to earn their berth in the league's final series. Despite goals from four different players, the Comets lost Game Two of the series 12-9, but Brian Harris scored just 26 seconds into the deciding "Mini-Game' and the Comets never looked back. A quick 6-2 victory gives the Comets their second chance at the MISL title in only their fourth year of existence.

Leading the series, 1-0 coming in to the game, the Comets had to work hard to earn their berth in the final. Both teams came out with fierce attacks on their opponent's goal. The result was a lot of back and forth action as both the Comets and the Wave saw several odd man counterattacks.

Goalkeepers Marcel Feenstra of Milwaukee and Danny Waltman of Missouri stood tall as they protected their net. Luan Oliviera was the only player to find the goal in the opening quarter, putting the Wave on top 2-0 as the first period came to an end.

A tripping foul on Robert Palmer towards the end of the first quarter forced the Comets to start the second period shorthanded. Playing a man-down didn't bother defender Brian Harris as his pressure on the Wave defense allowed him to collect the ball at the Milwaukee yellow line and bury home a three-point shot to take the lead. Late in the quarter, Milwaukee regained the lead when Tenzin Rampa's hip was in the right place at the right time to deflect in a shot from Oliviera.

Down 4-3 at the break, the Comets regained some of the form that saw them win five of the seven matchups between the two teams. Leo Gibson jumped on a ball that was ping-ponging around the Wave's penalty box and regained the lead for the Comets. Bryan Perez then punished the Wave for a defensive mistake and extended the Comets lead to 7-4.

Still one of the most dangerous teams in the league, the Wave scored three goals in the fourth period. Tony Walls, Marcia Leite, and Jonathan Greenfield each tallied points for Milwaukee. Vahid Assadpour netted a goal for the Comets, but they were not able to get all the way back and fell 12-9, forcing a 15-minute immediate "Mini-Game to decide the winner.

Unique to the MISL, the "Mini-Game' is played almost immediately following Game Two when necessary. The Comets and Wave have played each other in the MISL Playoffs four straight seasons, and now would need the extra game to decide the winner for three of those four times.

Brian Harris wasted no time in the short game, scoring 26 seconds after the opening kickoff for the early 2-0 lead. He added another off a great pass from Milan Ivanovic with just under nine minutes remaining. Veteran and captain for the Milwaukee Wave, Guiliano Oliveiro, tried to get his side back into the game with a score shortly after that, cutting the Comets lead to 4-2. Hope was short for the Wave though as the Comets' captain, Vahid Assadpour went end-to-end with a little over four minutes remaining in the game to score a game-clinching goal. Missouri held off several furious rallies from the Wave to finish the Mini-Game with a 6-2 victory.

The Comets will now await the winner of the Baltimore Blast vs. Syracuse Silver Knights series. Depending on the winner of that series, Missouri will host their leg of the Championship Series on either Friday, March 14 at 7:35p.m. CT or Sunday, March 16 at 3:10pm. Season ticket holders have until Wednesday, March 12 at 5:00p.m. CT to reserve their seats for the MISL Championship Series.

Comets Return to MISL Championship Series

Comets Advance After Game 3 Thriller

March 11, 2014 - Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) Milwaukee Wave MILWAUKEE - The Missouri Comets earned a return to the MISL Championship Series as Brian Harris scored twice ina Game 3 mini-game to lead his side to a6-2 victory against theMilwaukee Wave on Monday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena. The Wave had rallied to force Game 3 earlier in the night as they took a 12-9 victory, but Harris scored early in the 15-minute decider to put his side on a winning track in the decider.

Harris opened the scoring in Game 3 after just 26 seconds as his low finish from the left side found the back of the net, and the finalist for MISL Defender of the Year added a second at the 6:07 mark off an assist by the league's leading scorer in the regular season, Leo Gibson. Giuliano Oliviero pulled a goal back for the Wave after a poor defensive clearance by the Comets, but Missouri wrapped up the win with 3:21 to play as the Comets' captain Vahid Assadpour scored on a strong solo effort to give his side a two-goal advantage.

Missouri will play either Baltimore or Syracuse in the 2014 MISL Championship Series, with the Comets set to host either Game 1 on Friday night at 8:35 p.m. ET should the Blast claim the series, or Game 2 on Sunday afternoon at 4:10 p.m. ET should the Silver Knights advance. Baltimore currently leads the series 1-0 going into Tuesday night's Game 2.

Earlier in Game 2, the Wave battled through a tough first half to take a 4-3 halftime lead as goals by Luan Olveira and Tenzin Rampa bookended a 3-pointer by Harris. The Comets would grab the lead late in the third quarter on goals by Gibson and Bryan Perez, both inside the final three minutes of the period, but Milwaukee again made it a one-point game as Tony Walls scored 28 seconds into the fourth.

Assadpour put the Comets up 9-6 with 12:40 remaining in the fourth quarter, and the Wave had to find something in reserve to keep their season alive, which they did as Marcio Leite began the comeback a little over a minute later. The lead came Milwaukee's way when Jonathan Greenfield pounced on loose ball in the box and slammed it into the roof of the net, and 9:36 still remained with the Wave up 10-9.

Breathing room for the Wavecame courtesy of a great sequence that began along the boards. Ian Bennett and Walls worked to dig a ball out of a scrum, and Bennett's quick touch released Walls. He carried the ball forward, and perfectly timed a ball across to Nick Perera, who made no mistake with his first touch for a 12-9 lead.

While the Wave would send the series to Game 3, however, they were unable to get past the side that had claimed the regular season series against them, and eliminated them from last season's playoff in similarly dramatic style as the Comets came through to keep their championship hopes alive.

New air fence in place for Workington Comets speedway meetings

Last updated at 12:24, Tuesday, 11 March 2014

Workington Comets new 20,000 air fence has been put in place at Derwent Park.

Laura Morgan

Comets had to have the fence in place by the start of the new season after governing body, Federation of International Motorcycling, announced that all Premier League tracks must have a protective barriers fitted to improve rider safety.

Comets owner Laura Morgan said that the fence cost in excess of 20,000 and two-thirds of that had been recouped from fund-raising and donations.

She said: All in all it went well. We got it up, although there was a couple of teething problems.

But we are all very pleased with it. The riders safety is paramount.

The air fence was put together in Poland by Tony Briggs, who is son of four-time world champion Barry Briggs.

Events were held last year to help pay for the safety fence, including a fun day at Derwent Park in September.

Comets will continue to fund-raise for the air fence throughout the 2014 season.

Shiloh stifles Underwood

The Underwood Comets became yet another member of Shiloh Christians Under 40 Club on Tuesday.

The third-ranked Skyhawks defeated the Comets 67-32 in a Region 5 girls basketball tournament semifinal contest at the Mandan High School gymnasium that night, marking the 15th time this season that Shiloh has held an opponent under 40 points. It also was the 20th time the Skyhawks allowed fewer than 50 points.

Shiloh senior guard Gabby Wilkinson said the Skyhawks brought a defense first mindset into Tuesdays contest, just like they have in every other game theyve played this season.

I dont think weve ever gone into a game with a goal of holding teams under a certain number of points. Our goal is to play tough defense every possession and every quarter, and if we do that and hold them under 30 or 40, thats really good, Wilkinson said. We try to do our best to shut teams down and weve done a good job of that this year.

The Skyhawks, who are allowing just under 38 points per game, will meet District 9 rival Grant County in Thursdays championship game. It will be the third time in as many years that Shiloh and Grant County will meet for a berth in the Class B state tournament. The Coyotes won last years title game, 60-57 in overtime.

While the defense was doing its thing, the Shiloh offense sputtered at times in the first half, but the Skyhawks still led 17-4 at the end of the first quarter and 30-18 at the intermission. The Comets managed to get within eight, 26-18, late in the second quarter, but the Shiloh lead was double digits after back-to-back baskets by Jaye Two Bears and Regan Watson.

Shiloh then blew the doors off in the third quarter, outscoring the Comets 23-5. Two Bears scored 13 points in the frame, six on a pair of 3-pointers. The sophomore guard finished with 25 points, six rebounds and five of Shilohs 16 steals.

We made some adjustments at halftime and the girls came out in the third quarter and executed better, said Shiloh coach Jim Petrik, whose team improved to 22-1 and extended its winning streak to 21 games. Our defense continued to play well and that was a big reason why our offense got going. Its been that way all year.

Haley Stevahn and Watson added nine and eight points, respectively, and Wilkinson and Krista Ulmer contributed seven apiece for the Skyhawks.

Brooke Weisenberger netted 10 points for the Comets, who committed 33 turnovers. Underwood will play Wilton-Wing in the third-place game Thursday night.
