PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL, October 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) Getting Recruited to Play College Baseball, published by Mill City Press, is intended as a practical guide for both parents and students who are interested in understanding the college baseball recruiting process. While the process can be daunting, if not downright confusing and frustrating, being a recruited athlete provides enormous benefit in gaining admission to a college, university or junior college. College athletics also offers the potential to receive substantial financial assistance in the form of scholarships and other types of grants to support a college education.
At $18.99 for the hardcopy and just $9.95 for the e-reader version, the book is a small investment that could play big dividends. Gary Cohn, one of the book's co-authors noted, "we wrote this book to offer some of our experience and knowledge to parents now in the midst or entering the college recruiting maze." The book is designed to be read as a book or as a reference source that can be read in a random chapter order.
Ordering the book is simple as Mill City Press has developed a stand alone website for the book at www.playingcollegebaseball.com
The book addresses so many aspects of the college baseball recruiting process such as:
1) the myths about college recruiting and discusses each as they apply to college baseball
2) compares the various Divisions of the NCAA
3) importance of academics
4) value of tournaments, showcases, and college camps
5) financial considerations and sources of aid
...and much much more.
Getting Recruited to Play College Baseball is a book that has been sorely needed for parents, high school players, and just about anyone involved with youth baseball programs and teams.
"We wrote this book to give back the experiences and knowledge we gained going through the recruiting process with our sons," adds Robert McCunney MD, the other co-author of the book.
Cohn, who is also the co-founder of the country's leading college baseball advisory company, Time to Sign Sports, adds "had this book existed when our son was going through this maze, we would have had more restful nights from just understanding what was really happening. Knowing that we weren't 'the first', can make all the difference in the world."
The book can be ordered online through the Mill City Press created website for the book at www.playingcollegebaseball.com
Information and understanding are essential in trying to reach a great conclusion for your son in this recruiting process. Getting Recruiting to Play College Baseball - A Practical Guide is a small price to pay for an enormous return of knowledge and experience.

International Space Station Education Inspiration
2012-10-17
In the 1960s, the innovators responsible for missions to the moon inspired homemade space helmets and backyard bottle rockets that sent toy soldiers a bit shy of low-Earth orbit. The innovations of the International Space Station, however, provide a more direct approach to opportunities for the next generation as they watch, learn and even participate in today's missions.
For more than a decade, the space station has provided hands-on educational opportunities that encourage students to go beyond passive learning, engaging them as interactive participants. The recently ...

NYU study finds that fathers matter when it comes to their teenager's sexual behavior
2012-10-16
A new study by New York University professor Vincent Guilamo-Ramos and colleagues from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that fathers' parenting behavior influences the sexual behavior of their adolescent children. However, to date most parent-based research on adolescent sexual risk behavior has neglected the role of fathers, a missed opportunity to contribute to their adolescent children's health and well-being.
While it is well-established that parenting is closely linked with a teenager's sexual health and reproductive outcomes, it is mothers ...
Physicists crack another piece of the glass puzzle
2012-10-16
When it comes to physics, glass lacks transparency. No one has been able to see what's happening at the molecular level as a super-cooled liquid approaches the glass state – until now. Emory University physicists have made a movie of particle motion during this mysterious transition.
Their findings, showing how the rotation of the particles becomes decoupled from their movement through space, are being published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences.
"Cooling a glass from a liquid into a highly viscous state fundamentally changes the nature of ...
UCLA researchers reveal how 'cleaving' protein drives tumor growth in prostate, other cancers
2012-10-16
Researchers led by Tanya Stoyanova and Dr. Owen Witte of UCLA's Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research have determined how a protein known as Trop2 drives the growth of tumor cells in prostate and other epithelial cancers.
This discovery is important because it may prove essential for creating new therapies that stop the growth of cancer, the researchers said. The study is featured on the cover of the Oct. 15 issue of the journal Genes and Development.
The Trop2 protein is expressed on the surface of many types of epithelial ...
Young people driving epidemic of prescription drug abuse
2012-10-16
DENVER (Oct. 16, 2012) – A new study by the University of Colorado Denver reveals that today's adolescents are abusing prescription pain medications like vicodin, valium and oxycontin at a rate 40 percent higher than previous generations.
That makes it the second most common form of illegal drug use in the U.S. after marijuana, according to Richard Miech, Ph.D., lead author of the study and professor of sociology at CU Denver.
"Prescription drug use is the next big epidemic," Miech said. "Everyone in this field has recognized that there is a big increase in the abuse ...
Evidence does not support 3-strikes law as crime deterrent
2012-10-16
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Contrary to what police, politicians and the public believe about the effectiveness of California's three-strikes law, research by a University of California, Riverside criminologist has found that the get-tough-on-criminals policy voters approved in 1994 has done nothing to reduce the crime rate.
In a rigorous analysis of crime in California and the nation, sociology professor Robert Nash Parker determined that crime has been decreasing at about the same rate in every state for 20 years, regardless of whether three-strikes policies are in place or ...
