HAUPPAUGE, NY, December 22, 2010 (Press-News.org) For tennis players and fans, Tennis Cruise may very well have it all.
Tennis Cruise kicked off two successful events in 2010 that combined a luxury cruise, tennis playing on the cruise and at ports of call, and attendance at a top tier professional tennis event and they seek to top that success in 2011.
The first event of the new year takes tennis fans to Miami and the Sony Ericsson Open followed by a seven day cruise to the Caribbean where participants will play aboard the brand new Norwegian Epic and at beautiful tennis courts in the Bahamas, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten.
The key to Tennis Cruise is the emphasis on vacation. Many tennis participants bring along non-players because of the sufficient "down time" the event allows.
Bob Lovinger, founder of Tennis Cruise, says his own family was his inspiration, " In my home, my daughter and I love to watch and play tennis while my wife and son have little interest. Tennis Cruise allows all of us to get what we want out of a vacation."
Lovinger admits that Tennis Cruise may not fit the bill for die-hard players that want their six to eight hours of tennis each day. "Tennis Cruise is more of a vacation with a tennis flavor. Tennis enthusiasts will get it all, but they won't get an abundance of tennis playing. It's certainly not a tennis boot-camp,but hopefully they will get enough to quench their tennis thirst."
Based on the early returns, Tennis Cruise has reached a very broad audience both in terms of age and skill level. According to Lovinger, he has players that range in age from 16 to 85 and skill levels from beginners to advanced. The concept to this business, he adds, is that like golfers, tennis players want to play tennis whenever given the chance.
The key seems to be that almost everyone loves to cruise and injecting tennis into the equation is the clincher for enthusiasts of the sport.
The Tennis Cruise to the Sony Ericsson Open begins on March 24 with two days at the Sony Ericsson Open followed by a seven day luxury cruise to St. Maartan, St. Thomas, and Nassau, Bahamas and will feature a soon to be announced tennis legend.

Researchers discover human immune system has emergency backup plan
2010-12-21
New research by scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences reveals that the immune system has an effective backup plan to protect the body from infection when the "master regulator" of the body's innate immune system fails. The study appears in the December 19 online issue of the journal Nature Immunology.
The innate immune system defends the body against infections caused by bacteria and viruses, but also causes inflammation which, when uncontrolled, can contribute to chronic illnesses ...
Scientists take plasmon lasers out of deep freeze
2010-12-21
Berkeley – Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a new technique that allows plasmon lasers to operate at room temperature, overcoming a major barrier to practical utilization of the technology.
The achievement, described Dec. 19 in an advanced online publication of the journal Nature Materials, is a "major step towards applications" for plasmon lasers, said the research team's principal investigator, Xiang Zhang, UC Berkeley professor of mechanical engineering and faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
"Plasmon ...
Despite damage, membrane protein structure can be seen using new X-ray technology, study reveals
2010-12-21
Australian researchers have identified a way to measure the structure of membrane proteins despite being damaged when using X-ray Free-Electron Lasers (XFELs), a discovery that will help fast track the development of targeted drugs using emerging XFELs technology.
About 70% of drugs on the market today depend on the activity of membrane proteins, which are complex molecules that form the membranes of the cells in our body.
A major problem for the design of new pharmaceuticals, often known as the "membrane protein problem", is that they do not form the crystals needed ...
Study identifies cells that give rise to brown fat
2010-12-21
BOSTON – December 20, 2010 – In some adults, the white fat cells that we all stockpile so readily are supplemented by a very different form of fat—brown fat cells, which can offer the neat trick of burning energy rather than storing it. Researchers at Joslin Diabetes Center, which last year led the way in demonstrating an active role for brown fat in adults, now have identified progenitor cells in mouse white fat tissue and skeletal muscle that can be transformed into brown fat cells.
"This finding opens up a whole new avenue for researchers interested in designing molecules ...
Acid suppressive medication may increase risk of pneumonia
2010-12-21
Using acid suppressive medications, such as proton pump inhibitors and histamine2 receptor antagonists, may increase the risk of developing pneumonia, states an article in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) (pre-embargo link only) http://www.cmaj.ca/embargo/cmaj092129.pdf.
Acid suppressive drugs are the second leading medication worldwide, totaling over US$26 billion in sales in 2005. Recently, medical literature has looked at unrecognized side effects in popular medications and their impact on public health.
This systematic review, which incorporated all relevant ...
Strict heart rate control provides no advantage over lenient approach
2010-12-21
Strictly controlling the heart rate of patients with atrial fibrillation provides no advantage over more lenient heart rate control, experts report in a focused update of the 2006 guidelines for the management of patients with atrial fibrillation.
The new recommendations, published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, and HeartRhythm Journal, are updates of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association/European Society of Cardiology 2006 Guidelines for the Management of Patients ...
Young female chimps treat sticks like dolls
2010-12-21
Researchers have reported some of the first evidence that chimpanzee youngsters in the wild may tend to play differently depending on their sex, just as human children around the world do. Although both young male and female chimpanzees play with sticks, females do so more often, and they occasionally treat them like mother chimpanzees caring for their infants, according to a study in the December 21st issue of Current Biology, a Cell Press publication.
The findings suggest that the consistently greater tendency, across all cultures, for girls to play more with dolls ...
Meat-eating dinosaurs not so carnivorous after all
2010-12-21
December 20th, 2010 – Tyrannosaurus rex may have been a flesh-eating terror but many of his closest relatives were more content with vegetarian fare, a new analysis by Field Museum scientists has found.
The scientists, Lindsay Zanno and Peter Makovicky, who will publish their findings in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, used statistical analyses to determine the diet of 90 species of theropod dinosaurs. Their results challenge the conventional view that nearly all theropods hunted prey, especially those closest to the ancestors of birds. ...
Brain imaging predicts future reading progress in children with dyslexia
2010-12-21
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Brain scans of adolescents with dyslexia can be used to predict the future improvement of their reading skills with an accuracy rate of up to 90 percent, new research indicates. Advanced analyses of the brain activity images are significantly more accurate in driving predictions than standardized reading tests or any other measures of children's behavior.
The finding raises the possibility that a test one day could be developed to predict which individuals with dyslexia would most likely benefit from specific treatments.
The research was published ...
