PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL, December 02, 2012 (Press-News.org) Time to Sign Sports continues its incredible success stories with the announcement that three pitchers will continue their baseball careers at the college level.
Sam Ackerman, a right hand pitcher from Montclair, New Jersey will continue his baseball career at the school he always set as his goal. According to Gary Cohn, Time to Sign Sports co-founder, "From day one, Sam had a fascination of playing ball and attending GW. Now, he not only gets to live out that dream, but we believe he will make an impact as a Freshman." Ackerman had several other opportunities to consider. In the end, George Washington gives Sam everything he was looking. "Sam has been a dominant pitcher in New Jersey throughout his High School career. This past Fall, it all started to click and it was hard for the colleges not to take notice of Sam," concludes Berg Ohanian, Time to Sign Sports' other co-founder.
Elon lands Dimitri Lettas, a right hand pitcher from Long Island. Following his older brother who also played ball in college, Lettas gives Elon a polished pitcher. "DImitri is a gamer. He gets it. With an easy arm action and tremendous run on his fast ball, Demitri is going to give the Phoenix a great pitching option," says Cohn. Ohanian adds, "I have known the Lettas' a long time and when they approached me for guidance, it was a no brainer. This kid is the real deal. I really think you are going to see his contribution to the Elon program for the next several years."
Brian Rapp, a right handed pitcher who is part of the 2014 High School graduating class, has verbally committed to Boston College. Not just a pitcher, Rapp will give the Eagles a legitimate two-way player. "When you think of a competitor, you think of Brian Rapp. A bulldog on the mound, he is both confident and hard working," notes Cohn. Rapp's upside is limitless. Ohanian remarks, "Brian is a real student-athlete from Mendham, NJ. He is a guy who wants the ball in the toughest situations. He will challenge the top hitters in the country...and win. Brian is a born leader and will do just that when he steps foot on the campus of Boston College."
Time to Sign Sports is thrilled for these players, their families, and the schools they have committed to play their college ball.
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.

Researchers identify a mechanism for the transformation of colon polyps
2012-12-01
The causes underlying the development of certain types of common cancers have not yet been elucidated. In order to better determine the origin and the sequence of events responsible for the onset of colon cancer, the teams led by Thanos Halazonetis and Stylianos Antonarakis, professors at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, have sequenced the DNA of biopsied tissue from colon polyps. The results show that these precancerous lesions have a specific profile called 'mutator', which is associated with an increased frequency of acquisition of certain mutations. The ...
Men and women explore the visual world differently
2012-12-01
Everyone knows that men and women tend to hold different views on certain things. However, new research by scientists from the University of Bristol and published in PLoS ONE indicates that this may literally be the case.
Researchers examined where men and women looked while viewing still images from films and pieces of art. They found that while women made fewer eye movements than men, those they did make were longer and to more varied locations.
These differences were largest when viewing images of people. With photos of heterosexual couples, both men and women ...
UI researcher predicts more intense North Atlantic tropical storms
2012-12-01
Tropical storms that make their way into the North Atlantic, and possibly strike the East Coast of the United States, likely will become more intense during the rest of this century.
That's the prediction of one University of Iowa researcher and his colleague as published in an early online release in the prestigious Journal of Climate, the official publication of the American Meteorological Society.
The study is a compilation of results from some of the best available computer models of climate, according to lead author Gabriele Villarini, assistant professor of civil ...
Native Americans and Northern Europeans more closely related than previously thought
2012-12-01
BETHESDA, MD – November 30, 2012 -- Using genetic analyses, scientists have discovered that Northern European populations—including British, Scandinavians, French, and some Eastern Europeans—descend from a mixture of two very different ancestral populations, and one of these populations is related to Native Americans. This discovery helps fill gaps in scientific understanding of both Native American and Northern European ancestry, while providing an explanation for some genetic similarities among what would otherwise seem to be very divergent groups. This research was published ...
Emerging vector-borne diseases create new public health challenges
2012-12-01
West Nile virus, Lyme disease, dengue fever, and plague are examples of "vector-borne zoonotic diseases," caused by pathogens that naturally infect wildlife and are transmitted to humans by vectors such as mosquitoes or ticks.
According to Marm Kilpatrick, who studies the ecology of infectious diseases at the University of California, Santa Cruz, a broad range of human activities can affect the spread of zoonotic diseases. In an article in the December 1 issue of the British medical journal Lancet, Kilpatrick and coauthor Sarah Randolph of the University of Oxford describe ...
Ancient microbes survive beneath the icy surface of Antarctic lake
2012-12-01
Researchers funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) describe in a new publication a viable community of bacteria that ekes out a living in a dark, salty and subfreezing environment beneath nearly 20 meters of ice in one of Antarctica's most isolated lakes.
The finding could have implications for the discovery of life in other extreme environments, including elsewhere in the solar system.
If, as the researchers postulate, the bacteria survive purely from chemical reactions, as opposed to drawing energy from the sun or other sources, "this gives us an entirely ...
Vitamin D tied to women's cognitive performance
2012-12-01
Two new studies appearing in the Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences show that vitamin D may be a vital component for the cognitive health of women as they age.
Higher vitamin D dietary intake is associated with a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to research conducted by a team led by Cedric Annweiler, MD, PhD, at the Angers University Hospital in France.
Similarly, investigators led by Yelena Slinin, MD, MS, at the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis found that low vitamin D levels among older women are associated ...
