Big Train Beat Dodgers, Earn 11th Win

Big Train Beat Dodgers 


On Friday evening in Baltimore, the Bethesda Big Train played the Baltimore Dodgers in a game of first place vs. last place.  The Big Train won the game 3-1 and are now 11-1 on the season.  Sean Labsan (Florida Atlantic) got his second start of the season for the Big Train and pitched five innings, giving up one run, while striking out seven batters.

The Baltimore Dodgers scored the first run of the game against Labsan off four hits in the 1st inning.  Despite a tough first inning for Labsan, his next four were magnificent.  He only gave up one hit and struck out six in four scoreless innings

Kevin Tatum (Cornell) doubled to start the scoring for the Big Train.  After advancing to third, Stephen Alemais (Tulane) grounded out, scoring Tatum.  The Big Train scored their second run of the inning on an RBI single by Logan Farrar (Virginia Commonwealth), his 12th RBI of the season, giving the Big Train a 2-1 lead.

The Big Train made the score 3-1 in the 6th inning when Logan Farrar scored on a sacrifice fly hit by Johnny Cole (Coastal Carolina), after doubling to lead off the inning.

There were no more runs scored in the game as the Big Train bullpen once again kept the opposing batters quiet

Come out Saturday Night against the Youse's Orioles for Bobble Head Night.  First 500 fans will receive a Cal Ripken  Jr. Bobblehead.

Tips for Exercising Success

 
Weight lifting, swimming, cycling, jogging, skiing, aerobic dancing, walking or any of dozens of other activities can improve your health. Whether it is a structured exercise program or just part of your daily routine, all exercise adds up to a healthier heart and mind. Here are some tips for exercising success:
  • If you have been sedentary for a long time, are overweight, have a high risk of coronary heart disease or some other chronic health problem, see your doctor for a medical evaluation before beginning a physical activity program.
  • Choose activities that are fun, not exhausting.
  • Add variety. Try not to rely too much on one activity or repeating workout, but develop a repertoire of several that you can enjoy. That way, exercise will never seem boring or routine.
  • Wear comfortable, properly fitted footwear and comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that is appropriate for the weather and the activity.
  • Find a convenient time and place to do activities. Try to make it a habit, but be flexible. If you miss an exercise opportunity, work activity into your day another way.
  • Use music to keep you entertained.
  • Surround yourself with supportive people. Decide what kind of support you need. Do you want them to remind you to exercise? Ask about your progress? Participate with you regularly or occasionally? Allow you time to exercise by yourself? Go with you to a special event, such as a 10K walk/run? Be understanding when you get up early to exercise? Spend time with the children while you exercise? Try not to ask you to change your exercise routine?
  • Share your activity time with others. Make a date with a family member, friend or co-worker. Be an active role model for your children.
  • Don't overdo it. Do low- to moderate-level activities, especially at first. You can slowly increase the duration and intensity of your activities as you become more fit. Over time, work up to exercising three or four times per week for 30-60 minutes.
  • Keep a record of your activities. Reward yourself at special milestones. Nothing motivates like success!

Some Alcohol Good?


DALLAS (CNN) -- Consuming two to six alcoholic drinks per week can greatly reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death, according to a new report from researchers at Harvard Medical School.
The Physicians' Health Study used data from 21,537 men over a 12-year period. Researchers found that men who had two to four drinks per week lessened their risk for sudden cardiac death by 60 percent. Those who had five to six drinks per week lowered their risk by 79 percent.
Though some alcohol is good, more may not be better. Rates of sudden cardiac death increased among people who had more than two drinks per day, the study found.
The research did not look at drinking patterns. However, it is generally agreed among scientists that binge drinking, or drinking large amounts of alcohol in brief periods, can cause abnormal heart rhythms that can lead to sudden cardiac death.
Though the study's findings are considered significant, its authors are not recommending that people start drinking.
"Based on the data, I wouldn't recommend that non-drinkers start drinking," said Christine M. Albert, M.D., lead researcher. "One has to consider all the risks and benefits of drinking alcohol. You don't know how likely a person is to become addicted to alcohol, and there is also the risk of cancer to consider."
Previous studies have found that heavy alcohol consumption may increase an individual's risk of certain types of cancer.
"Consuming two or more drinks per day has been associated with an increased breast cancer risk in women. This study was done only in men, so we can't be sure if our results would apply to women as well," said Albert.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is responsible for about half of all deaths from heart disease, the nation's biggest killer. SCD is usually caused by irregular heart rhythms. Heart attack, the death of heart muscle due to loss of blood supply, rarely causes SCD.
Prior studies have pointed to a similar beneficial effect of alcohol when consumed in moderate amounts. This study, however, is the largest to date. It is published in the American Heart Association's journal, Circulation.

Paradox: What kills may also cure

This Bug's Deadly Venom
May Help Save Lives

Regular readers of Cancer Defeated know our goal is to give information on natural remedies that can replace or complement conventional medicine's 'slash and burn' surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation.
I've recently come across an unusual supplement that's being touted as a 'natural chemotherapy.' But unlike conventional chemo, this remedy has no side effects, and patients feel better when they're on it.
In fact, pain relief seems to be the clearest, best-established effect of this substance. In one trial it was more effective than a powerful prescription pain killer. And if the studies hold up, it not only kills pain, but cancer cells, too!
Here's what we were able to find. . .
Continued below…

Video of the Week:
"Shocking Confessions of a Drug Company Insider"
In this exposé, a top executive of a major pharmaceutical company spills the naked truth about the drugs you and your family take... which drugs heal, and which ones KILL... what doctors turn to when they don't know the cure... what they do when they themselves or their loved ones are stricken with disease or illness... what life-saving resource they insist should be in every home. Watch this must-see video now because your life -- or the life of your loved ones -- may depend on it.

It's called Escozine, and this all-natural product contains serum that comes from the venom of the Caribbean blue scorpion, a relative of the spider. This species of scorpion, found in the Dominican Republic, grows to several inches in length, and its venom is described as "moderate". (I wouldn't want to find out exactly what that means.)
A chemical in the bite of this creature has the power to heal as well as wound.
Scientists have discovered a peptide in its venom called chlorotoxin. The same chemical that paralyzes the scorpion's prey also happens to target and destroy cancer cells.
The Medolife company markets its Escozine product through companies operating in the U.S. and the Dominican Republic. They are in clinical trials and apparently aim to get FDA approval. The company reports that the product has:
  • 89.5 percent success rate in clinical trials
  • No side effects or toxicity
  • Approval and certification for oncological treatments
A cancer survivor named Peggy, posting on the Cancer Survivor Network page of the American Cancer Society, said, "I am still alive today because of Escozine. I have or had stage four metastatic Her2 positive breast cancer. I underwent two rounds of chemo and eight weeks of radiation. . .I had a double mastectomy and everything removed that could possibly get cancer. It finally was in my liver and both lungs when the doctor said I had two months to live. I started Escozine and eight weeks later my CAT scan showed the cancer retreating. I am now 18 months later and no detectable cancer."
That's a remarkable story, but don't get carried away. It often happens that late stage cancer patients go into complete remission if they stumble on just the right treatment for them. But unfortunately, the same treatment may not be as effective for others.
The evidence I've seen so far does not suggest that most users will experience as big a miracle Peggy did (how I wish – and pray!) But the anecdotal evidence paired with the scientific studies suggest that Escozine is worth a second look. It could put a sting on cancer cells!
So how does scorpion venom help cancer patients manage their disease?
A potent painkiller and inflammation fighter
For starters, the serum used in Escozine appears to be a natural pain killer. In one study, groups of mice were either given: a) different amounts of blue scorpion serum, b) a powerful, pain killer called Paracetamol or c) neither substance (a control group).
Compared to the control group, animals that took Paracetamol showed 47% less pain.
However, those given high concentrations of blue scorpion serum exhibited 55% less pain than those that were not given any pain killers!
In another study of mice with artificially induced inflammation, scientists gave one group an anti-inflammatory drug called Dexamet. A second group received Escozine and a third group got no medication.
The group that received blue scorpion serum had up to 38 percent less inflammation than the control group.
Medolife provides these study results as proof that Escozine can be used as a complement to traditional cancer therapies to help ease some of its side effects.
But they're really excited about the studies that show…
Escozine attacks cancer cells with a vengeance!
More than 15 years of research show that thousands of people suffering different types of cancer and immune system disease have experienced significant relief from the Escozine serum.
For example, one pre-clinical trial conducted by Medolife involved testing on abnormal cells from four types of malignancies.
Investigators placed these damaged cells in test tubes and exposed them to blue scorpion serum.
In the case of all four malignancies, the number of abnormal cells decreased after being exposed to the venom. Remarkably, one group of cells decreased by 60 percent after one week of exposure. It will take testing in live subjects to confirm these results found in lab cultures.
Another eight-year open-label clinical study conducted at the University of California in San Diego involved 8,302 cancer patients with a variety of cancers in various stages of severity. Nine out of ten (89.5%) showed an improvement in the quality of life after using Escozine.
Essentially, these scientific studies have shown that Escozine's health benefits include its ability to:
  • Work cooperatively with cancer treatments to improve the body's immune system, thus enhancing its ability to fight against malignancies and cellular abnormalities.
  • Quickly reduce pain and inflammation to increase comfort, improve range of motion and increase the quality of life.
  • Starve malignant cells, depriving them of nutrition and energy needed to grow and wreak havoc on your body.
  • Replenish minerals and vitamins lost during cancer treatments, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, manganese, iron, zinc, copper, aluminum, selenium and more to keep your body running in optimal condition
  • Improve T-cell response—that is, your body's natural mechanism for killing abnormal malignant cells.
It's one thing to read scientific data and analyses. But it's something else altogether to hear from folks who have used a product.
Grateful users sing its praises!
Here are comments from some patients who used the supplement while undergoing cancer treatment:
  • Russian patient E.R., undergoing treatment for cervical cancer, had this to say about her use of Escozine: "In four days, I noticed the pain was greatly reduced."
  • Colorado, USA patient B.A, diagnosed with brain tumor cancer, exclaimed: "After I took Escozine with my chemotherapy, the side effects completely disappeared."
  • Kansas, USA patient and breast cancer survivor P.H. stated that Escozine has "more potential for healing than any other medicine offered by my oncologist."
 It's wonderful to learn a natural substance not only relieves pain, but, at least in some cases, totally cures cancer – AND is backed by a company that might gain mainstream approval of the treatment.

Big Train (2011,2012) Hunter Renfroe Promoted

Bethesda Big Train News UpdatesJune 18, 2014

Hunter Renfroe Promoted 
L-R: Hunter Renfroe (BT '11-'12), Becky Crowley (Host Family), Wes Rea (BT '14) seen at last night's California League ASG.
 
Hunter Renfroe (BT '11-12) is taking advantage of every opportunity in the San Diego Padres farm system after being drafted 13th overall back in 2012. Following his start in the California League/Carolina League All-Star game in Wilmington, DE on Tuesday, Renfroe was promoted from Class A Advanced Lake Elsinore to Double-A San Antonio.
 
The  No. 5 prospect in the Padres' system, according to MLB.com, was leading the California League in home runs with 16, hit 52 RBIs and had a solid .295 batting-average. 
 
Renfroe had developed into one of the best power hitters in the California League and his continued improvement over the past two seasons proved that this promotion was definitely well deserved, according to Padres' vice president of player development Randy Smith in a recent article on MLB.com.
 
Smith said, "The thing that I was very pleased with is he cut down on the strikeouts, the average came up and he carried that into June".  
 
With his promotion to the San Antonio Missions of the Double-A Texas League, Renfroe will have another opportunity to prove himself to better overall competition.  
 
We are all very excited to see how he plays in the Texas League and hope to see him in a Major League uniform in the very near future.
