PFT: Heyward-Bey officially ruled out for Sunday

Reuters

The Giants believe they?ve drawn the blueprint for how to defend Michael Vick, and they?re looking to continue to add pressure.

While many teams are hesitant to rush any athletic quarterback for fear of what happens when they break containment, the Giants want to put the pressure on the Eagles quarterback for the cumulative effect.

?As a quarterback who runs a lot, you should expect to get hit even more even when you stand in the pocket. You?re going to get hit,? Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul said, via Jorge Castillo of the Newark Star-Ledger. ?We?re coming; we?re going to hit you regardless so whether you throw the ball or you run the ball, we?re going to hit you. If you throw the ball and release it, as long as we get there before he releases the ball, we can hit him.

?The ref?s the only one who can tell us no.?

The last time the Giants played him, they broke his right hand, knocking him out of the game briefly. He complained that many teams, including the Giants, were hitting him late. But he?s taking enough legal hits to necessitate a different plan.

?He?s not inhuman,? Giants defensive tackle Rocky Bernard said. ?You can?t take that many hits and survive in this league, so they?re going to have to change something.?

Of course, teams are hitting Vick early and often this year. He?s been hit 29 times and sacked nine in three games, with 13 hits and five sacks by the Cardinals last week.

?A lot of teams took what we did,? Pierre-Paul said. ?I was watching the Arizona game. Whew! They were killing him out there, man. He needs to get rid of the ball faster.?

At the rate he?s taking shots, if he doesn?t get the ball out quicker, he may not make it through another Giants game, or many other ones.

Honey bees fight back against Varroa

Friday, September 28, 2012

The parasitic mite Varroa destructor is a major contributor to the recent mysterious death of honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies. New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Biology finds that specific proteins, released by damaged larvae and in the antennae of adult honey bees, can drive hygienic behavior of the adults and promote the removal of infected larvae from the hive.

V. destructor sucks the blood (hemolymph) of larval and adult bees leaving them weakened and reducing the ability of their immune systems to fight off infections. Not that honey bees have strong immune systems in the first place since they have fewer immunity genes than solitary insects such as flies and moths. These tiny mites can also spread viral disease between hosts. This double onslaught is thought to be a significant contributor to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).

But all is not lost - honey bees have evolved a way to fight back: hygienic behavior where diseased or parasitized larvae are removed from their brood cells, and Varroa-sensitive hygienic behavior which they use to reduce the number of reproductive mites on remaining larvae.

To find exactly how bees respond to hive infections, researchers from Canada looked at the natural behavioral of bees in the presence of damaged larvae and compared this to protein differences in the larvae and adults. After scanning 1200 proteins the team found that several proteins, including LOC552009 (of unknown function but similar to ApoO), found in the antennae of adults were associated with both uncapping brood cells and the removal of larvae. Other proteins were involved in olfaction or in signal transduction, probably helping the adults find infected larvae amongst a brood.

In damaged larvae, transglutaminase, a protein involved in blood clotting, was upregulated, which appeared to be a key component in regulating the adult's behavior. Other proteins indicated adaptations to help fight infection, including chitin biosynthesis and immune responses.

Dr Leonard Foster from CHIBI at the University of British Columbia, who led this research said, "Bee keepers have previously focused on selecting bees with traits such as enhanced honey production, gentleness and winter survival. We have found a set of proteins which could be used to select colonies on their ability to resist Varroa mite infestation and can be used to find individuals with increased hygienic behavior. Given the increasing resistance of Varroa to available drugs this would provide a natural way of ensuring honey farming and potentially survival of the species."

'ATM file deleted' message - Family Tree Maker software - Family ...

My ATM tree is NOT deleted, I've looking at it all morning. However, after I did a bit of work there I brought up FTM2012 to sync and it said the linked ATM file had been deleted and it gave me a button to push to unlink from that missing tree!!!

Deep breaths... didn't push the button, closed FTM, checked on Ancestry, confirmed tree is there, brought up FTM again - now it will sync. Hope it finishes... don't panic!

:( Same result. Now what?

The money drives them to run

New Delhi, Sep 28

Some take to sport simply for sheer pleasure of playing and some others strive to excel in a competitive world. The Suresh Kumar is seen as a star runner by the fans, but the defending champion of the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon in the elite category for Indian men says he runs only for the money.

"I run only for money," said Suresh, who is essentially a 1500-5000 metres runner.

The 21-year-old Varanasi athlete, who finished 11th in the 1500 metres in the 2010 New Delhi Commonwealth Games, is running in his only second half marathon Sunday.

"Actually, in track and field events your first-place finish will fetch you only Rs.10,000-15,000 as prize money while prize purse for the Delhi Half Marathon is Rs.200,000 so obviously we prefer to run in these events," Suresh told IANS.

Suresh's views were also echoed by Soji Mathew, who won the Mumbai Half Marathon in January, clocking 1:05.29. However, Mathew's best ever performance in Delhi has only been third in 2009.

"The prize money in Mumbai is Rs.100,000. Though the publicity is more in Mumbai the prize money here is better," said the 31-year-old from Alappuzha, Kerala.

Why don't they run a full marathon as the prize on offer is much more?

"We are not suited to that form of racing. We need to train much more for a full marathon. We know the prize money is more but it also takes a toll on the body. To recover from a 42km race we need at least a month while six days of rest is enough for a half Marathon," said Mathew.

The elite Indian athletes also have an added incentive as they can get a bonus of Rs.100,000 if they set a course record.

Construction Industry CMIC Sonora Bet to new generations ...

The Mexican Chamber of Construction Industry (CMIC), Socially Responsible Company (ESR), has trained in free at more than 350 college students in new ways of building in 3D projects for developing software with electronic planes Building Information Modeling (BIM), to position Sonora at the forefront in the development of all kinds of works. CMIC Chairman of Delegation Sonora, Jesus Roberto Ayala Sitten, said that through the Training Institute of Construction Industry (ICIC), it is intended that the new generation of professionals in the industry have all the necessary tools so that are the best trained in the country, Latin America and the world

The 50 percent of students qualified belong to the University of Sonora and the rest are from the Universidad del Valle de Mexico (UVM), Durango Santander and Tecnol?gico de Monterrey. This preparation process also involved professors from different universities because the purpose of the CMIC is that top-level institutions impart to students subjects that the labor required for their professional development, to be prepared in the workplace requiring productivity, competitiveness and high performance. Sitten CMIC Ayala said that Sonora, continues to push very hard planning new construction in three dimensions, which is a method of building more practical and economical.

He said that in the United States and can not use the program ?AutoCAD? which is a computer aided drafting, and now the whole procedure and plannings of the buildings are fully digital and three-dimensional. He said the buildings now require programming in Building Information Modeling (BIM), modern and versatile method that allows you to build all types of construction such as roads buildings, structures, cut and fill mining, among others.

Therefore, business Chamber members, architects, builders and students majoring in engineering and architecture from different universities in the state have participated in the training of this advanced software that calculates space, cost and dimensions on buildings to create and also detects failures built for correction, Jesus said Roberto Ayala Sitten.
