My 2008 N.l. All-stars

 

There are certain players who tend to sell more MLB tickets than others, namely All-Star players. With this year’s mid-summer classic about a month away, I thought I’d list who I voted for as the starters for the game. Here are my picks for the National League. (All statistics noted are as of June 16)

Catcher – Russell Martin (Dodgers): Martin is hitting .311, has an on-base percentage of more than .400 and he’s swiped six bases.

First base – Lance Berkman (Astros): Berkman is mashing from both sides of the plate. If Chipper Jones wasn’t absolutely raking the ball, Berkman would have a shot at the Triple Crown. It’s hard to believe Albert Pujols isn’t getting this spot with the year he’s having, but Berkman is playing as well as anybody in the majors.

Second base – Chase Utley (Phillies): Utley could be the third consecutive Phillies player to win the MVP award. I never thought I’d see a second baseman leading the majors in home runs this far into the season with a legitimate shot at ending the season that way as well. This isn’t my father’s major league baseball.

Third Base – Chipper Jones (Braves): He’s hitting over .400, need I say more?

Shortstop – Hanley Ramirez (Marlins): This guy is one of the best players in the league and he’s only 24. He’s got power, speed and hits for average though his is down a bit this year. The sky is the limit for him. He should help sell MLB Tickets in Miami.

Outfield – Ryan Braun (Brewers): After a slow start, Braun has come on big time. Look for a big second half from him.

Outfield – Pat Burrell (Phillies): Burrell is having the best year of his career hitting in one of the most dangerous lineups in the league. His 18 home runs and .425 on-base percentage are numbers we’ve been expecting from Burrell for years.

Outfield – Ryan Ludwick (Cardinals): I don’t think anyone saw this coming. Ludwick is hitting over .300 with 16 round trippers and 54 RBI while slugging a beastly .648.

Starting Pitcher – Tim Lincecum (Giants): Brandon Webb and Edinson Volquez are having great years, but I’m giving the start to Lincecum. I think he’s been the most unhittable pitcher in the majors this year and has only one loss despite pitching for the offensively-challenged Giants.

There is only one way to see players like these in person, and that’s to purchase MLB tickets.

Do You Feel The Us Was Too Hard On Castro?

I attended some Latin American seminars during my college years. I’ll never forget a woman from Havana who made the trip to Florida to make a moving speech about the oneness of society in Cuba, equality of healthcare, that no matter who you are, you can obtain the same quality of medical treatment as the most prominent member of Cuban society. It was a fight for the complete social equality of humankind.
Many fail to understand that Cuba was able to remain economically and socially sustainable despite a trade embargo from the US, the world’s most powerful country.
Many fail to understand that Cuba’s society and culture remained strong despite the fact any Cuban refugee could step on the shores of Miami and be instantly American “wet feet, dry feet.”
Despite a Bay of Pigs Invasion to overthrow Castro not to free Cubans, but perhaps to make capitalist countries wealthier by coercing capitalism in a place that values community over a marketplace.

LIPOSUCTION/LIPOSCULPTURE… CAN IT BE USED INSTEAD OF GOING ON A DIET?? ARTICLE 2 OF 5

Angelina Cooper, The well know Cosmetic Surgery Consultant providing answers about Liposuction Surgery. Find all you need here.

ARTICLE 2 OF A 5 ARTICLES SERIE

21)       Can Liposuction/Liposculpture be used instead of going on a diet?

Liposuction/Liposculpture is not a procedure for loosing weight, but is used for remodeling the body, eliminating accumulations of fat. The fat does not weigh very much and after a considerable aspiration you only lose a few kilograms.

22)       Is it better to go on a diet before having Liposuction/Liposculpture?

It is useless to go on an extenuating diet before having Liposuction, and then in the following months to put on weight. We recommend that our clients have the surgery when they think they have reached the weight they can maintain. In most cases, however, after Liposuction, a series of psychological mechanisms are set in motion which lead clients to be more careful about the way they eat and in taking care of their bodies, so that in the months after surgery, they often experience weight loss and an improvement in their physical condition. These conditions boost the effect of the modeling and firming up of the tissue of the superficial Liposculpture, giving a result which is often greater than expectations.

23) Can Mesotherapy eliminate cushions of fat?

Mesotherapy does not usually have any effect on cushions of fat. This type of treatment is none other than a way to convey thropic-effect medicines to fatty. It may also have some effect on lipodstrophy, but the therapy has to be followed with perseverance – it is never definitive. Generally, it is not recommended. For some reason, Mesotherapy changes the texture of the fat deposits making its removal through Liposuction a much harder task.

24)   Many argue that a local anesthetic is safer than a general (or total) anesthetic. Why?

Local anesthetic is safe if the dosage is not excessive. When the area to aspirate is extensive, the high doses of local anesthetic required are toxic and may cause serious complications. In these cases, a general anesthetic (by inhalation) guarantees the best results, reducing risks to a minimum. In any case now the client can return home after the surgery.

25)       On what basis is the decision made to operate under local or general anesthetic?

The decision depends mainly on the number of areas to be operated on, the amount of fat to be removed from each single area, and on the weight of the client. The dose of anaesthetic varies according to each case. Most procedures (of a small or medium entity) can, nevertheless, be performed in a hospital under local anaesthetic with sedation. If the fat to be removed is over 2.5 liters, the advisability of operating under general anaesthetic will be considered.

26)       Some argue that to obtain good results, Liposuction/Liposculpture should be performed under local anesthetic with the client in a standing position so that the fat cells to be removed can be seen better. Is this true?

The cosmetic surgeons in most clinics do not agree. With Liposuction/Liposculpture, it is not always possible to keep a client standing up: blood pressure tends to go down and they could faint. The surgeon must evaluate this. Furthermore, with advanced techniques like superficial Liposculpture, after the fat has been removed – and if you are still on your feet – the skin appears to be sagging. The result looks terrible and completely different from the final outcome of the modeling and compressive medication carried out by the surgeon.

27)       What is a local anaesthetic with sedation?

Local anaesthetic with sedation involves the intravenous administration of drugs which diminish or nullify the discomfort related to surgery. It involves substances that are anxiolytic (for reducing tension), hypnotic (for making you sleepy), analgesic (for killing pain). Finally, some substances induce amnesia (you do not remember almost anything about the surgery). If the client so wishes, it is, nonetheless, possible not to have any sedation.

28)       What are the possibilities of having Liposculpture on the calves and ankles?

Lipoaspiration of the calves and ankles is possible and, if the conditions are right, you can achieve good results. If the volume of the calves is caused by muscles and tendons or bones, very little can be done. Water retention is not a contraindication but, after the procedure, it may continue and, therefore, affect the validity of the end result. In this region, post-operative swelling lasts much longer than in the other areas (6 months to a year). For this reason, it is advisable to have the surgery in the winter months and then have Lymphodrainage treatments.

29)         If you have problems with your circulation, can you still have Liposuction / Liposculpture?

Yes, the surgery can be performed in most cases with a good outcome, both aesthetically and physically. The type of surgery must, however, be analyzed during the course of the consultation.

30)       Is it necessary to stop taking the pill before Liposuction?

It is advisable but not obligatory. Women who take the pill need to take a course of anticoagulant drugs (deriving from heparin), as preventive medicine, both before and after surgery.

31)          What is the degree of risk with Liposuction/Liposculpture? Is it true that they are now considerably less?

The risks of Liposuction/Liposculpture in healthy people are those common to all surgical procedures (reactions to the anesthetic, infections, etc.), but complications are very rare. It is, however, necessary to operate with the proper precautions: suitable clinics, assistance with the anesthetic even in procedures performed under local anesthetic, and the use of a general anesthetic in more extensive Liposuctions (giving too much anesthetic risks being toxic). The swelling technique and the use of fine cannulas guarantee the best results with very little bleeding.

32)       Isn’t there the risk that, where the fat has been removed, the excess skin will sag?

Yes, there is the risk that, where the fat has been removed, the excess skin will sag. However, for this reason, the Cosmetic Surgeon in many clinics prefers Superficial Liposculpture, which – apart from reducing the cushion of fat – increases the skin tone. Moreover, the surgeon has to take into account, at least generally, whether the skin will be elastic enough to adapt to its new condition. Many plastic surgeons prefer thick cannulas because they can remove the fat with less effort. However, many cases have demonstrated that better results are attained with fine cannulas. Additionally, using fine cannulas also assures for less bleeding.

33)          What is Lymphodrainage?

Lymphodrainage (LPG) is a special massage which aids in the re-absorption of pre- and post-operative swelling, thereby speeding up recovery. It can also be performed – with a great many advantages – with the LPG-Endermologie method. It must be done by expert personnel who have taken special courses.

34)          After Liposuction/Liposculpture, is it indispensable to have Lymphodrainage?

Lymphodrainage speeds up recovery and the swelling goes down much sooner. It is not indispensable, but it is, nonetheless, fundamental. Lymphatic Drainage is strongly recommended for all types of Liposuctions and Abdominoplasty procedures (tummy tuck); it makes a big difference.

35)          How long after the Liposuction procedure can I return to the gym?

The pain is usually bearable and can be alleviated with analgesics (pain killers). It is subjective and varies according to the individual and the extent of the surgery. You can start walking immediately and resume sporting activities after 3 weeks according to your case and the type of sport involved.

36)         How long after giving birth can you undergo Cosmetic Surgery?

The time that should pass after a birth before undergoing Cosmetic Surgery varies and depends on both, the kind of surgery and the general condition of the client which may be different according to the case. With regard to Liposuction, the procedure can be performed after 3 months if you are not breast feeding.

37)         In what period of the year is it best to have Liposculpture?

Even though the surgery can be performed at any time during the year, it’s preferable the procedure is performed during the cold months because the client should not be exposed to the sun for at least a month post surgery. Also, when it is hot, it is uncomfortable to wear a compression garment. If these factors cause no problems, Liposuction/Liposculpture can also be performed during the summer.

FACIAL LIPOSUCTION

38)       What is a Facial Liposuction?

Facial Liposuction removes fatty deposits from specific areas of the face such as the under chin, neck, and jowls. Facial Liposuction rids patients of these excess fat deposits that make them look and feel older. A safe procedure with dramatic results, Facial Liposuction has helped thousands of people look and feel younger and more attractive.

39)       How is face, neck or under chin Liposuction performed?

Facial Liposuction is most often performed with a micro-cannula using a Tumescent technique that involves injecting fluid into the targeted area while suctioning the fat out. In some cases, Liposuction of the chin, neck, and jowls, as well as other facial Liposuction procedures, can have better results in these problem areas than other surgical techniques. Facial Liposuction can also be more desirable because it minimizes scarring when compared to other surgical techniques. Facial Liposuction is usually performed on or below the chin and jaw line to reduce the appearance of sagging skin in the neck, a double-chin, or hanging jowls.

40)       Who is a good candidate for Facial Liposuction?

The best candidate for Facial Liposuction is someone who wishes to remove bothersome pockets of fat, but is within 30 percent of their ideal body weight. Age is not a major consideration in Facial Liposuction procedures, but those with more elastic qualities in their skin can expect to experience better results. For those who do not have elastic skin, other procedures such as a Face Lift can tighten the skin after fat has been removed using Liposuction techniques. The best way to determine if you are a candidate for chin, neck, jowl, or any other type of facial liposculture procedure is to speak with an experienced cosmetic surgeon.

Grand Bahama: a Great Place to Live

MAKING GRAND BAHAMA YOUR SECOND HOME

Whether you fall in love with Grand Bahama at first sight, or quietly grow to love it after a few vacation dates, there is a certain magnetic quality about this island that keeps people coming back again and again. A big part of the attraction is that Grand Bahama represents the best of both worlds. It has all the basic ingredients of a tropical paradise: year-round sun, 25 miles of sandy white beaches, swaying palms, championship golf courses, and some of the prettiest crystal clear aqua waters in the world. The island is also ideally located just off Florida’s fast paced fun-coast, only about 70 miles from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. Finding everything you want in a relaxed, charming, get-away-from-it-all island, so close to the United States, is a combination that’s hard to beat. And a combination that has lots of well-traveled people from all over the world choosing Grand Bahama Island as their second home.

A MODERN PARADISE

The wide paved boulevards, manicured roadways, miles of well-planned waterways that are part of Freeport / Lucaya’s modern infrastructure, got its start back in the mid 1950s when an American entrepreneur named Wallace Groves laid the strong foundation for today’s residential and business boom. Wallace’s original vision of a professionally designed and planned community, complete with clean water, state-of-the-art power and utilities, cutting-edge technology and communications, all carefully nestled within the abundant natural beauty of Grand Bahama, is alive and well today, clearly visible in an island infrastructure that is second to none in the region.

A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE

Freeport / Lucaya is unique in the entire Caribbean. In Grand Bahama, the enjoyment of relaxed island living is reliably supported by a clean, well-planned, up-to-date infrastructure that lets you truly relax, knowing the basics are already taken care of. It is also remarkable in this day and age to find an unspoiled place with no pollution or traffic congestion, only a 30 minute plane ride from South Florida.

Grand Bahama offers an unparalleled lifestyle, and the chance to get in on the ground floor of some tremendous growth. The island is just beginning to be discovered—it often reminds people of the opportunities they saw 40 years ago in Florida.

WORLDWIDE ATTENTION

Grand Bahama Island has attracted worldwide attention lately due to the recent investments of Hong Kong based Hutchison Whampoa. In a short span of less than three years, their port division, Hutchison Port Holdings, the global leader in port development and operation, has built one of the largest transshipment container ports in the world at Freeport Harbour in a joint venture with The Grand Bahama Development Company. Together, they are also developing a Sea/Air Business Centre that is uniquely situated on 786 acres in a tax-tree trade zone. The Sea/Air Business Centre will provide millions of square feet of warehouse and office space, linking the Freeport Container Port with Grand Bahama International Airport, allowing companies to take advantage of a container port that can handle the largest ships in the world and an airport that can handle the largest planes in the world, all in a tax-free, duty-free environment. The Sea/Air Business Centre already has generated tremendous interest by worldwide corporations interested in doing business in Freeport.

Grand Bahama will also find itself in the world spotlight as plans for The Bahamas Film Studios, a $76 million state-of-the-art film production and entertainment complex, currently under development, takes shape. The master plan includes a film and television production and post-production facility, a music-recording studio, movie theme park, waterpark, restaurants, retail shops, and an historic Bahamian Village when all phases are complete.

Living in an Apartment: Landlord Issues

Living in an apartment can be a very exhilarating experience—especially if you are just moving out of your parent’s house. But because you are young, your landlord may seem to be harsh on you. However, that is not the case. Landlords have a lot of experience when it comes to leasing an apartment to young adults, and know that a firm hand is needed in order for both parties to remain amicable. Landlord issues are par for the course of tenants and you can always find articles where tenants are complaining about their landlords.

One issue with a landlord could be that he or she treats tenants differently. An instance like this may be where he allows one to consistently be late with their rent but is very strict with another on making them have their rent turned in on time. Without knowing both sides of the story, it is easy to assume that the landlord is not being fair. But in all actuality, the landlord and tenant may have come to terms on a different rent due date.

Another issue that tenants can have with their roommates is how well the maintenance on their apartments is taken care of. Some tenants have to repeatedly tell their landlord that they have plumbing problems or some other maintenance requirement before it is taken care of. In order to avoid this issue you can specify how soon you would like emergency maintenance to be taken care of in your lease. That way you will be covered when your landlord fails to provide the service that you require.

Another issue that many tenants have is receiving their deposit for the apartment. This is more likely to happen when you have pets because the landlord can claim that because of the pets the apartment is going to have to be professionally cleaned before he can lease it to someone else. However, you can go out of your way to clean the apartment to the best of your ability to try and get the deposit. Other tenants have a hard time getting their security deposit back from their landlords. The security deposit if for any damages that have been done that are beyond the normal wear and tear of living in a rental for any amount of time. It can also cover the last months rent if you move out mid-month. In order to avoid this issue you can make sure that you provide your landlord with written, not verbal, notice that you will be moving in 30 or more days. And by also cleaning the place extremely well and doing any minor repairs that you need to from your living there you have a much better chance of getting your deposit back.

Landlord issues are nothing new when it comes to tenants who are leasing their home or apartment. But by being mature and doing everything by the book you have a good chance of avoiding them. And if you are worried about a landlord before you lease an apartment, you can always check out any reviews that are available on the apartment and or landlord.

Three Natural Cures Your Kids Want You To Know!

Copyright 2005 Robert Fioravante

When Hippocrates said “the physician treats but nature heals,”
he was describing the human body’s natural tendency toward
minimizing illness and creating optimal health. As we know,
however, the body needs a little help at times. Alternative
health practices can support the physical body in its natural
propensity toward healing by applying very effective remedies.

In this article we present powerful natural treatments for three
health conditions that frequently affect children: asthma, head
lice, and pink eye. Orthodox medical doctors and the drug
conglomerates won’t be overly thrilled that you know these
natural treatments; they have no way of patenting or monetizing
these cures.

The Asthma Remedy

Asthma is a serious (if not frightening) disorder in which the
airway becomes inflamed, resulting in wheezing, loss of breath,
and tightness in the chest. About 15 million people in the U.S.
suffer with asthma and there are more than half a million
hospitalizations resulting from this disorder.

The prevalence of asthma has been increasing for every age group
affected. Children have the highest increase; over the last ten
years the rate of asthma in children has increased by over 90%.
Parents with asthmatic children will know that the quickest
remedy for an asthma attack comes from medication, but there are
times when a child’s inhaler is not available.

There are two natural ways to treat an asthma attack which
relate to the soothing effect that warm liquid has on bronchial
tubes. First, try some hot soup which can soothe the bonchials.
However, the second remedy can be more effective since it
includes a warm liquid with an additional ingredient: caffeine.
Coffee or tea, with caffeine, can open airways similar to the
way inhalers do, so try this during an asthma episode if no
medication is available.

The Pink Eye Cure

Before 1938, patentable antibacterial drugs had not been
developed, so colloidal silver was the primary “medicine” for
fighting infections in the U.S. It is quietly used today as a
cleaning agent in water tanks, by airlines for in-flight water
purification, and by NASA to sterilize water on the Space
Shuttle. Why? Colloidal silver has been found to destroy about
650 viral, bacterial, and fungal “bugs.”

One independent laboratory conducted research to determine the
effectiveness of a colloidal silver manufactured by a company
called Earthborn Products. This silver was applied to both
normal and resistant strains of staphylococcus aureus bacteria
and incubated at 37 degrees centigrade. The staph cultures were
killed in just four minutes! Also, research at the Upstate
Medical Center at Syracuse University (N.Y.) found that “silver
works on a wide range of bacteria without any known side
effects…”

Pink eye (pinkeye) or conjunctivitis is a highly contagious
ailment in which the conjunctiva or membrane that covers the eye
is infected by a virus or bacterial infection. Although
harmless, the challenge is to keep infected family members from
contaminating those around them. This challenge, however, has
been met with colloidal silver.

Many people are successfully treating their pink eye by applying
one or two drops of colloidal silver in their eyes, twice a day.
In fact, Dr. Evan M. Kansas reported in Science Digest (1978)
that he experienced “instant success” using colloidal silver
with immune compromised patients. One example he gave was a
patient’s pinkeye that was totally resolved in less than six
hours after topical treatment!

The Head Lice Cure

Mom and dad, if you’re tired of “nit picking,” then pay
attention. About ten million people in America are afflicted
with head lice and their eggs, or “nits.” The head louse lives
in human hair fairly close to the scalp where it feeds on human
blood. Female lice lay about 10 eggs per day and the babies, or
nits, hang-on to strands of hair with amazing tenacity.

Getting rid of head lice is a three-step process. You must kill
all the live lice, check for and remove all the nits by combing
and manual nit picking, and you must do a thorough job of
cleaning the infested person’s belongings and home environment.

Doctor Lawrence Schachner of the University of Miami School of
Medicine has found what he believes is the best, fastest natural
remedy for head lice yet: petroleum jelly. This cure works not
by poisoning the lice (like the prescription drugs available),
but by smothering them. Dr. Schachner recommends slathering
petroleum jelly on your child’s scalp and hair in the evening
before bed. Then put a shower cap on the child and let him sleep
the night with the cap on. By morning, the lice and knits are
smothered. The down side? Children must do repeated shampoos to
remove the petroleum jelly, so their hair may look oily for a
while.

Train your Brain With Neurofeedback

Just as you can train any part of your body, with Neurofeedback you can train your brain! Offered at Mind Spectrum Institute in North Miami Beach, Florida, Neurofeedback, also known as EEG Biofeedback, is training for the brain to enhance cognitive performance, normalize behavior, and stabilize mood.

All of our physical, cognitive, and emotional functions are controlled by the brain. The brain communicates through biochemical and bioelectrical processes. Unwanted symptoms are often an indicator of a poorly regulated brain. One way to chemically regulate the brain is with medication (“drug therapy”). However, a more natural type of treatment consists of training the brain to regulate itself by altering its electrical activity. For instance, we know that slow brain wave activity is responsible for decreased levels of arousal, attention, etc. (e.g., ADD and Depression). An overly active brain, on the other hand, produces overarousal which can lead to Anxiety and Hyperactivity.

Procedure: Neurofeedback is a non-invasive procedure, which consists of monitoring brain waves and providing adequate feedback. One or more electrodes are placed on the scalp to capture the brain wave activity. An amplifier and computer-based instrument processes the signal to provide appropriate feedback. The feedback displayed to the client consists of a video game or image along with audio signals. As activity in the desirable EEG frequency band increases, positive feedback is given. When unwanted brain activity occurs, the feedback is inhibited (stopped).

With consistent training the brain gradually learns to respond to the feedback, thus achieving a more normalized brain wave pattern. The effectiveness of this treatment requires consistency and frequency. To start, 2 or more sessions are recommended. After learning begins to consolidate, the pace can be reduced. A minimum of 20-25 sessions (depending upon the symptoms) is necessary. At Mind Spectrum Institute in North Miami Beach, Florida, we often recommend neurofeedback in addition to traditional therapy.

The Most-Watched Sports Events of All Time

Americans have a reputation for knowing how to work hard and play hard. When it comes to sports, though, it seems that the lines between work and play become slightly blurred, as most Americans take their sport of choice as seriously as any job – faithfully tuning in to game after game on the radio and cable TV, though eventually upgrading their television sets and broadcasting systems to enable all of their favorite team’s matches and insider info in high definition via satellite TV, and of course schlepping the whole family and then some to weekend matches, tailgating included of course.

So what happens when a favorite sports team makes it to their league’s final match, competing for the top coveted position of best in the game? These sports fans go ballistic. But getting your hands on tickets for the playoffs and championship games in any sport is next to impossible. So fans tune in, like clockwork, on their TVs. And tune in they do. Read on for a run-down of the most-watched televised sports events in history.

Starting with the fifth place match is Super Bowl XII, the 1978 game that saw the Dallas Cowboys take on the Denver Broncos. About 34.3 million viewers tuned in for the January 15th game to watch the Cowboys defeat the Broncos, 27-10, at the Louisiana Superdome.

The forth place most-watched televised sports event ever was another football championship game, Super Bowl XX, when the Chicago Bears smothered the New England Patriots 46-10. This 1986 match was also held at the Superdome in Louisiana and was the first national championship for the Bears.

The third most-watched sports event in history was not a Super Bowl game, but an ice skating competition, between Olympic arch-rivals Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. This 1994 Olympic competition, which took place in Norway, saw the victorious Kerrigan win the silver medal, just months after having been clubbed in the knees by Harding’s hitman. The widely-publicized scandal pulled in millions of viewers for the women’s figure skating short program.

Aside from the dramatic episode between vengeful figure skaters, the viewership records go back to football. Super Bowl XVII of 1983 ranks in as the second most-watched sports event ever. 40 million tuned in to see running back John Riggins lead the Washington Redskins defeat the Miami Dolphins, 27-17.

So what tops all of these? Super Bowl XVI, the 1982 face-off between the San Francisco 49ers and the Cincinnati Bengals at Michigan’s Pontiac Silverdome. 40.02 million viewers set their sets to watch MVP 49er Joe Montana lead San Francisco to a lead over the Bengals, 26-21.

Now just imagine how things are different for these millions of NFL fans who now have access to special subscription-based satellite TV programming, such as the NFL Sunday Ticket, to get the most of their favorite team, all the time. And even better than just the heavy-duty programming is how you get to watch it – in HD, with superfine image quality and surround sound, to absorb viewers completely in the event, almost as if they were there in person.
