PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL, July 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) Time to Sign Sports, through its advisory services, assists high school baseball players navigate through the college baseball recruiting process. The successes they have enjoyed are incredible. Those successes continued this past week.
"Paul Balestrieri (2013 RHP) is one of those special young men," says Gary Cohn, co-founder of Time to Sign Sports. He continues, "Getting drafted in the early rounds or eventually becoming the President of the United States would come as no surprise to anyone that knows Paul." Cornell, in a very competitive recruiting process, lands Balestrieri. A bulldog type pitcher (87-89, topping at 90), Balestrieri will challenge any hitter. Berg Ohanian, the company's other co-founder, says "Cornell just got themselves a legit Friday night starter. We are anxious to see the kind of impact this young man makes on the team and the Ivy League."
Matt Mccann (2013 MIF), a high school teammate of Paul Balestrieri from West Windsor Plainsboro South (NJ), earned a tremendous opportunity by giving his verbal commitment to Fairleigh Dickinson. McCann simply is a guy who will get after it on every play. "Time to Sign Sports has worked with many families and terrific young men, but Matt may be the hardest worker," says Ohanian. Adds Cohn, "His work ethic has really paid off. His growth as an athlete and baseball player is truly inspirational. No question in our mind that he will be a leader at FDU on day one."
Christopher Monaco (2014 RHP) is a rising junior who made the decision to become part of the Atlantic Coast Conference, arguably the premier baseball conference in America, by saying yes to Virginia Tech. This future Hokie has all the tools to really become a superstar. "Chris throws all his pitches for strikes. He pounds the zone with an 87mph fastball that has tremendous run on it," says Ohanian. "By the time he enters school, Chris is sure to be throwing in the 90's. For a young player, he really knows how to pitch and win."
Time to Sign Sports is thrilled for all three players and their families. Tracey and Angelo Balestrieri, Debi and Jim McCann, and Debbie and Lloyd Monaco, will see their boys continue their baseball dreams in college. Time to Sign Sports believes great baseball does not have to come at the expense of an equally great education. "It's the principal in which we founded the company," states Cohn. In Balestrieri, McCann, and Monaco, the successes of Time to Sign Sports continue in an incredible fashion.
Time to Sign Sports, Inc. focuses on assisting and advising high school baseball players achieve and earn college scholarships and roster spots to continue their dream of playing ball at the next level. For more information please call us at 866.866.8643 or email us at info@timetosignsports.com.

For gay couples, condom decision-making and condom use varies by race
2012-07-23
Black gay couples tend to practice safe sex but don't talk about it, while white gay couples discuss safety but are less likely to use condoms, according to new findings presented at the 19th International AIDS Conference.
Gay men, particularly white and black men, account for the majority of new HIV cases in the United States. One source of HIV infection could be men's primary relationship partners. To explore this aspect of risk, San Francisco State University researchers studied how black, white and interracial male couples make decisions about using condoms.

Clinical study in rural Uganda shows high demand for antiretroviral drugs
2012-07-23
An ongoing clinical study in rural Uganda, begun in 2011, suggests that many people infected with HIV/AIDS would take antiretroviral drugs if they were available to them—even before they developed symptoms from the disease.
Led by doctors at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), the San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (SFGH) and Makerere University School of Medicine in Kampala, Uganda, the study is the first to address such attitudes among African patients who are in the early stages of the disease and not yet sick.

The report from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) found that levels of inflammation within the aortas of HIV-infected individuals with neither known cardiovascular disease nor elevated traditional risk factors were comparable to those of patients with established cardiovascular disease.

HIV suppression not as good as previously thought, largest study of viral-load blood tests show
2012-07-23
Tens of thousands of Americans taking potent antiretroviral therapies, or ART, to keep their HIV disease in check may not have as much control over the viral infection as previous estimates have suggested, according to results of a study by AIDS experts at Johns Hopkins and the University of Pennsylvania.
In what is believed to be the largest and longest review of viral load test results in people with HIV disease ever performed in the United States, researchers found that the number of people sustaining viral suppression – consistently, at 400 or less viral copies ...

Benefits of HIV drugs rise -- but less than previously believed, Penn study shows
2012-07-23
PHILADELPHIA – The percentage of HIV patients taking antiretroviral drugs who experienced the full benefit of the drugs jumped from 45 percent of 72 percent during the past decade, a figure that is lower than previous estimates. The findings, considered important for HIV prevention efforts, since patients whose virus is in tight control are less likely to transmit the infection to others, are published this week in JAMA by a team of researchers led by the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The issue's ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – An examination of the characteristics of persons born outside the United States diagnosed with HIV while living in the U.S. finds that, compared to U.S.-born persons with HIV, they are more likely to be Hispanic or Asian, and to have a higher percentage of HIV infections attributed to heterosexual contact, according to a study appearing in JAMA being published online.
