Villoria and Donaire Won, Concepcion and Sonsona Lost

Another history for the Filipino boxers were written today.

In the local fight scene at Ynares Sports Center, Villoria defeated Mexican Omar Soto by split decision , almost 6 months after he lost to Carlos Tamarao of Columbia.

Viloria was in control of the fight in the first five rounds but Soto came on beginning round six and took the fight. Viloria won with the scores 93-97, 97-93 and 97-93.

Viloria was quoted saying “I thought this was a good first step in getting myself back into championship form. It wasn’t pretty but I got the job done this time. I didn’t want to make it too dramatic. I put my boxing skills to do the work and I just wanted to come out there safe, shake a little bit of cobwebs out and I think I did that tonight.”

Meanwhile in Puerto Rico, Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire won by technical knockout against the hard-hitting Hernan “Tyson “ Marquez of Mexico. His won was a total contrast to the fate of Bernabe Concepcion and Eden Sonsona who both lost on their respective fights.

Donaire stressed it was definitely his last fight as a super flyweight.

Surprisingly, Donaire was wearing a yellow boxing short with an “Aquino” label at the back instead of his name. I guess this is to show his support to the new president of the Philippines P-Noy.

Filipino Scientist Discovered PainKiller From Snails

admin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:35:04 +0000

Who would have thought that a killer snail can literally kill a pain? This is how Dr. Baldomera M. Olivera presented his new discovery, now commercially known as Prialt.

Dr. Baldomero Olivera

Prialt is taken from cone snail’s venom which contains conotoxins. Dr, Baldomera and his team from University of Utah found out that the cone of of venomous marine snails characterized several dozen neurotoxins. This neurotoxins are now widely used in neuroscience research.

In 1992, Olivera’s team identified the analgesic-like qualities of conopeptide from the cone’s snail. An active ingredient called Ziconotide was found and later was made available to the public with a trade name Prialt.

One of the available pain killer prior to Prialt is morphine. However, morphine is narcotic – a habit-forming substance (addictive) and not readily available to anybody who need relief from extreme pain.

Unlike morphine, Prialt is not known to cause addiction and can lasts much longer in the system.

Dr. Olivera’s Achievement

Dr. Olivera is the Distinguished Professor of Biology at the University of Utah since 1970. His 30 years of dedication to developing drugs from animal wildlife earned him this year’s “Scientist of the Year” award from the Harvard Foundation.

He started his colorful career after finishing his B.S. in Chemistry and earning Summa Cum Laude at the University of the Philippines in 1960. He further his specialization by finishing his PhD in Chemistry from the California Institute of Technology with Dr. Norman Davidson. After getting his Phd, he did postdoctoral work at Stanford University with Dr. I. Robert Lehman.

Currently, Dr. Baldomera M. Olivera serves as director of Cognetix – a pharmaceutical and research company based in Utah which he founded 1996.

Efren Penaflorida Pushing Cart

If Efren wins this year’s award (based on how many votes he gets, which will depend on us), he will be able to expand his mobile school program for the children of the slums in the Philippines.

What this young man is doing to improve the lives of the kids in the slums is truly inspiring.

Here’s the link to Efren’s story and his Dynamic Teen Company (the organization he founded). You can vote for Efren by clicking on the link found in the article. http://edition. cnn.com/2009/ LIVING/wayoflife /03/05/heroes. efren.penaflorida/index.html
