The role of running: Running can protect the heart, the heart of human aging vital organs, normal function of the heart has a direct impact on other internal organs function. Medicine, maintain a healthy necessary to maintain cardiac function. Middle-aged easy to ischemic heart disease, may cause myocardial ischemia due to coronary artery blockage, causing angina to myocardial infarction. Treadmill exercise allows coronary artery to maintain good blood circulation, long-term running coronary artery will not train a person?s age and narrowing ensure that there is enough blood that feeds the heart, which can prevent heart disease, maintain good cardiac function. Running is a whole body movement can speed up the whole body blood circulation, adjust systemic blood distribution to eliminate the congestion phenomenon. Lower limb movement, promoting the body to move forward at the same time, forcefully driven venous return to the heart, to reduce the lower extremity veins and pelvic congestion, and the prevention of venous thrombosis. Running can adjust the excitation and inhibition in the cerebral cortex, useful to improve the function of the nervous system, eliminate mental fatigue and the prevention of neurasthenia. Running can also regulate the body?s internal balance, regulating emotions, keep up your spirits, improve the material metabolism, promote metabolism, reduce blood lipid levels, cholesterol levels, control of body weight, an excellent way to lose weight. Often practice long-distance running is a deeper experience of fitness cardiac function.

Running fitness:

(1), slow relaxation run: that is, without any effort of jogging. Generally feel relaxed and comfortable while jogging, fatigue, heart rate control at about 110-130 beats per minute, breathing naturally, a slight asthma. Action has no requirements. General practice 2-3 times a week, each practice about 20 minutes. Adhere to regular exercise on the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, such as the obvious fitness benefits.

(2), the speed of running methods: will efforts, speed, ran into the method of 5 meters per second, or heart rate at 140-150 beats / min. This fitness running method is more popular, moderate-intensity exercises, has been recognized at home and abroad. This method significantly enhanced cardiac function, visceral balance. But the exercises should prepare for activities, relaxation activities, practice was obvious fatigue, it is necessary to stop running, do some relaxation exercises. Exercise 1-2 times a week, every time I got to fatigue so far.

(3), fast runners methods: the larger will of the efforts, the faster the speed of forward ran to the method of exercise heart rate is generally the highest level in the body ,170-180 beats / min. This run method of exercise intensity short duration, usually a few seconds, but you can repeat the exercise. Exercise 1-2 times a week, each repeated 3-6 times. The exercise cycle should be gradual to prepare activities and to relax organize activities to prevent fatigue. This method to improve the human anaerobic endurance, muscle function, and cardiac function have a role. Chronic diseases of internal organs, cardiovascular, liver, kidney particularly can not exercise. Prevent serious illness occurred.

(4), varied pace footwork: speed combination, the combination of alternating walking and running exercise method. This running method is suitable for mid-and late middle-aged, exercise changes in practice can be based on individual activity levels, control of practice time and running speed. In general, the better constitution of middle-aged, can gallop and jog alternately, poor physical fitness of middle-aged, jogging and walking alternately practice, practice time control fatigue significantly when the end of practice, do some relaxation activities, and step by step to improve the practice requirements.

(5), regular jogging law; is limited to a certain time, the moving distance running, or limited to a certain distance, to shorten the running time of practice methods. Known timing run is 12 minutes to run, six minutes to run, used to evaluate the effect of self-exercise, and physical level of functioning. Regular timed running exercises can help self-understanding of physical conditions, such as difficult to run down the pole of the fatigue phenomenon, exercise should gradually slow down the running speed, or even stop the practice, to prevent the onset of the phenomenon, and do relaxing activities.

Cardinals' record-tying 7th whips Cubs 12-0

(AP Photo/St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Chris Lee)

(AP) ? The St. Louis Cardinals totaled 15 runs in their six-game trip to open the second half. They threatened that total in a single inning against the Chicago Cubs.

Jake Westbrook worked seven innings of three-hit ball and the Cardinals finally backed him ? and then some ? by tying a 76-year-old major league record with seven doubles in seventh inning of a 12-0 victory on Saturday night.

"I knew my spot was coming up hitting so I knew I was probably done," Westbrook said. "I just wanted to hopefully get some runs there, and we did. It was a fun inning."

Rafael Furcal's go-ahead single in the seventh turned out to be a mere appetizer as the Cardinals also matched an 86-year-old franchise record for runs in an inning. St. Louis totaled 10 hits with multiple hits by three players including pinch-hitter Allen Craig, who doubled twice with an RBI.

"It was crazy. I don't think I've seen anything like that in the big leagues," Craig said. "I came into the game in a big spot and I was glad I could make something happen, and the rest of the guys took it from there."

The Cardinals managed five hits the first six innings before jumping on Justin Germano (0-1) and three other relievers. They tied the major record for doubles in an inning by the Boston Bees at St. Louis in the first inning of Game 1 of a doubleheader on Aug. 25, 1936.

They tied the franchise record for runs in an inning set Sept. 16, 1926, against the Phillies, in the third inning of the opener of a doubleheader in Philadelphia.

"We've had some against us that felt like 12," manager Mike Matheny said. "You look at this offense and they can come in bundles.

"It's nice to see the guys, too, just keep putting good at-bats together no matter how many runs we've had or how many hits they've had already."

The Cardinals totaled nine doubles for the first time in franchise history since setting a modern major league record with 13 doubles on July 12, 1931, against the Cubs.

Cubs starter Matt Garza was taken out after three scoreless innings with cramping in his right triceps, an injury that wasn't obvious and prompted speculation that he had been traded. The Cubs added a bit of intrigue, waiting until the bottom of the sixth to announce the injury and the fact X-rays ? as a precaution for possible elbow issues ? were negative.

"The trade thing, I'm not so concerned about that," Garza said. "I'd rather go out there and throw eight or nine (innings) than come in here and say, "I can't throw the ball.'"

Germano got unlimited warmups in the fourth, an indication he was entering because of an injury or ejection, although the rule book also allows for an unspecified sudden emergency. Germano allowed a run in three-plus innings before the roof caved in on the Cubs, who allowed 12 runs in an inning for the first time since July 30, 2010, at Colorado.

James Russell gave up a career-high six runs on four hits in two-thirds of an inning. Manuel Corpas gave up four runs without getting an out, surrendering three doubles and a walk.

"Russell's our setup guy," manager Dale Sveum said. "He's got a long four months basically without a hiccup like that, and those things will happen.

"Unfortunately, it was a nothing-nothing game."

Previously, the Cubs hadn't allowed more than six runs in a single inning. The Cardinals topped their previous season best of eight runs April 27 against the Brewers.

Westbrook (8-8) escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first, falling behind 3-0 in the count against Geovany Soto before inducing a groundout. The sinkerballer permitted only two baserunners his last six innings, a leadoff single by David DeJesus in the third and a walk by Luis Valbuena in the fifth, and neither of them made it second.

"The first couple of innings, I was a little erratic, I might have been a little geeked up," Westbrook said. "After that, I felt really strong."

NOTES: Garza is 2 for 30 at the plate with 23 strikeouts after fanning in the second. ... Soto is 0 for 5 with the bases loaded. ... Bryan LaHair had two strikeouts and a walk against Westbrook after entering the game 3 for 3 with a homer against the right-hander. ... The Cubs have lost 12 of their last 16 in St. Louis. ... The first two games of the series were sold out, with attendance of 43,424 the Cardinals' 16th sellout overall. ... Schumaker is batting .500 (15 for 30) with runners in scoring position. ... Craig is the first Cardinals player to double twice in an inning since Jerry Mumphrey May 30, 1977, against the Cubs. He's the first in the majors to do it since Seattle's Michael Saunders May 30 at Texas.

Higgs discovery: giants of physics overlooked

Last week's discovery of the Higgs boson was the result of an international collaboration involving thousands of scientists, but it seems two nations feel their contribution has been overlooked.

An article published in Pakistan's Express Tribune last Friday detailed how Pakistani physicist Abdus Salam, with Americans Steven Weinberg and Sheldon Glashow, developed the electroweak theory that unifies two of the four fundamental forces. Their work helped complete the standard model, of which the Higgs is the final part to be observed, and won the trio the 1979 Nobel prize for physics.

Despite his success, Salam was forced to leave Pakistan in the 1970s because he was a member of the Ahmadi movement, an offshoot of mainstream Islam that was outlawed by the Pakistani government.

Meanwhile, the day after CERN's announcement of a new particle, the Indian Press Information Bureau put out a press release entitled "Satyendranath Bose: Higgs-Boson's Forgotten Hero". Bose was an Indian physicist who worked with Einstein to understand the behaviour of subatomic particles that were later dubbed bosons.

Some physicists think the link between either researcher and the Higgs discovery is tenuous. "Bose is one of the great physicists who missed a Nobel," says Frank Close at the University of Oxford. However, his work only indirectly underpins last week's discovery. Salam, meanwhile, "has no claim on the Higgs boson", Close says.

Higgs and his colleagues did their work in 1964. It was one of those colleagues ? Tom Kibble ? who used the information as the basis of our modern picture of subatomic particles, and later influenced Salam, says Close. "If anyone deserves recognition beyond Higgs, it is in my opinion Kibble, who incidentally was born in India."

Nevertheless, "among physicists both [Salam and Bose] are regarded as giants", says Jim Al-Khalili, a physicist at the University of Surrey, UK. "Science transcends such petty distinctions as race, nationality or religion. If only the wider world did too."

Americas saw three waves of ancient settlers

WHO were the first Americans? The most comprehensive analysis of DNA from Native American populations to date supports the controversial theory that the Americas were populated in three initial waves rather than just one.

The first settlers are thought to have set foot in North America some 15,000 years ago, crossing a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska that existed at the time.

Linguists originally suggested that Native Americans could be divided into three groups based on their languages, and argued that these may represent three waves of migration. Although differences in dental morphology between people belonging to the language groups supported the idea, not all linguists agreed about lumping so many diverse languages together.

Analysis of mitochondrial and Y-chromosome DNA suggested instead that migration occurred in a single wave.

To get a clearer picture of the settlement patterns, David Reich of Harvard Medical School in Boston and his colleagues compared DNA from 52 Native American populations across Canada, Greenland and Central and Southern America, focusing on variations called single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in protein-coding and non-coding regions across the genome. They also examined DNA from populations in Siberia, where Native Americans are thought to have originated. Unlike mitochondrial or Y-chromosome sequencing, which trace the history of a single male or female ancestor, SNP analysis paints a broader picture of ancestry.

"What's striking is that populations from the northern parts of Canada to the southern parts of South America are consistent with descending from a single stream of migration from Asia," says Reich. These migrants were probably the first Americans.

But that's not the whole story. The SNP analysis also shows there were two further waves of Asian migration, whose populations interbred with the original settlers. Speakers of Eskimo-Aleut languages, found in the Aleutian Islands and Greenland, inherit almost half their genes from the second wave, while the Na-Dene-speaking Chipewyan in central Canada inherit around a tenth of their genes from a third wave - although all groups can claim to have "first American" DNA (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature11258).

This picture fits with the original classifications made by the linguists. "It doesn't mean that most Native American languages are related to each other, it just means that the populations that speak those languages descend from a single ancestral group," says Reich.

The study also sheds light on how the first Americans dispersed through the continent; Reich found that populations along the coast showed far more genetic diversity than those living in the interior of the continent. This suggests there was a coastal migration route that required some kind of seafaring facility, says Silvia Gonzalez of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK, who investigates early human footprints in the Americas.

What the new study can't tell us, however, is when these migrations occurred. To do this we would need to compare DNA from present populations with genetic material from ancient human remains - a political hot potato in some regions, including the US (see "The legal fight over prehistory").

The legal fight over prehistory

Working out how and when America was colonised is made harder by a lack of genetic data from the US. The absence is the result of tensions between native groups and the scientists who want to study them.

The study by David Reich of Harvard Medical School in Boston and colleagues (see main text) relied on existing genetic samples from Native American groups. Reich sought to confirm that the person each sample came from had given full consent. US samples were poorly documented, so he left them out. "We were trying to be extra-specially careful," he says.

Previous researchers were less rigorous. In 2010, Arizona State University agreed to pay $700,000 to a Native American tribe after samples collected to study diabetes were used to probe the tribe's history.

Fossils can be just as contentious. When a skeleton was found in Kennewick, Washington, in 1996, it quickly became the focus of a battle between scientists and Native Americans. Kennewick Man was only released to scientists in 2005, after the tribe failed to prove that the skeleton was one of their ancestors.

History is now repeating itself. Two Californian skeletons are the focus of a legal battle between the Kumeyaay tribe and three anthropologists.

New coral reef crustacean described and named after late reggae performer Bob Marley

New coral reef crustacean described and named after late reggae performer Bob Marley

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

President Barack Obama has one. Comedian Stephen Colbert has one. Elvis Presley has one. Even computer software magnate Bill Gates has one. And now, Bob Marley--the late popular Jamaican singer and guitarist--also has one. So what is it that each of these luminaries have? The answer: they each have a biological species that has been named after them.

Paul Sikkel, an assistant professor of marine ecology and a field marine biologist at Arkansas State University, discovered and just named after Marley a "gnathiid isopod"--a small parasitic crustacean blood feeder that infests certain fish that inhabit the coral reefs of the shallow eastern Caribbean. Sikkel named the species Gnathia marleyi.

All of the life stages of Gnathia marleyi are described by Sikkel and his research team in the June 6th issue of Zootaxia. This research was partly funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Sikkel said, "I named this species, which is truly a natural wonder, after Marley because of my respect and admiration for Marley's music. Plus, this species is as uniquely Caribbean as was Marley.

Gnathia marleyi is a new species within the gnathiid family, and the first new species to be described in the Caribbean in more than two decades.

By concealing themselves within coral rubble, sea sponge or algae, juvenile Gnathia marleyi are able to launch surprise attacks on fish and then infest them. Sikkel explained that adult gnathiids do not feed at all. "We believe that adults subsist for two to three weeks on the last feedings they had as juveniles and then die, hopefully after they have reproduced."

There have been increasing numbers of reports that the health of Caribbean coral reef communities are declining due to diseases. "We are currently researching the relationships between the health of coral reef communities and gnathiid populations," said Sikkel.

"Gnathiids, in general, are the most common external parasites found on coral reefs and are ecologically similar to land-based blood-sucking ticks or disease-carrying mosquitoes," Sikkel said. "Gnathiids live on the ocean floor from pole to pole, and from shallow reefs to the abyss--and everywhere between. They are also the most important food item for cleaner fishes and thus key to understanding marine cleaning symbioses."

Sikkel explained that his research group is interested in the combined ecological effects of fishing pressure and reef degradation. "We suspect that coral degradation leads to more available habitat for external parasites to 'launch attacks' on host fishes," he said. "And as the number of potential host fish decreases, each remaining host will become more heavily parasitized."

"Our current work is focused on how changes in coral reef environments, such as coral bleaching, influences interactions between hosts and parasites," said Sikkel. "We're including in our studies any effects on cleaning organisms that remove parasites from hosts."

About 80 percent of all organisms found on coral reefs are parasites. The gnathiid isopods are among the most ecologically important of them, according to biologists, because many diseases afflicting desirable fish are either caused by, or are transmitted by gnathiids. In addition, the immune system of fish also depends on the overall health of coral reefs, which are known as the "rainforests of the sea" because of their vast biodiversity.

At the end of the day, it comes down to simple oceanic economics: the more parasites there are, the fewer fish there are--at least until the parasites run out of hosts to infect. And fewer fish in the sea can cause significant losses to the populations that depend on them.

Studying the effects of changes in sea-bottom communities associated with coral and sponge diseases and their interactions among other species will advance knowledge of blood-borne pathogens. Sikkel suspects that Gnathia marleyi may be a vector in transmission of these diseases.

Sikkel says his team's current funding through NSF's Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases (EEID) initiative and Biological Oceanography is enabling the team to study precisely which species of Caribbean reef fish harbor these blood parasites. "We are determining the role of Gnathia marleyi, which will help us understand the impacts of changes in coral reef habitat on the transmission of a fish disease called haemogregarines--a type of fish malaria that may weaken their immune systems through a reduction in certain blood cells."

"Disease ecology is a rapidly maturing field in marine science," said Michael Lesser, a program director in NSF's Biological Oceanography Program. "To advance this field, scientists must identify which organisms are the main players in disease transmission in oceans."

Lesser continued: "With so much marine diversity yet to be described, parasitic species don't always get the attention they deserve. But Sikkell and his team have taken an important step by helping to analyze the ecological effects of a parasite on Caribbean coral reef fish populations by describing this previously unknown species."

Sikkel initially discovered Gnathia marleyi about 10 years ago in the U.S. Virgin Islands where it is relatively common--so common, in fact, that Sikkel had assumed for years that the species had previously been described. Nevertheless, compelled by a hunch, Sikkel ultimately sent a specimen of the species to Nico J. Smit of North-West University in South Africa, a member of Sikkel's research team, who confirmed that the species had, in fact, previously been overlooked by taxonomists. With the help of Whitney Sears, one of Sikkel's students, the research team raised the isopod from its juvenile stage through adulthood, a laborious task that was necessary because most taxonomy descriptions of gnathiids are based on adult males, which usually differ in appearance and other ways from juvenile gnathiids.

Specimens of Gnathia marleyi will be housed indefinitely at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. "We are currently discussing with AMNH the possibility of creating an exhibit featuring this species that could be viewed by the public," said Sikkel.

Sikkel's research team includes Charon Farquharson of the University of Johannesburg in South Africa and Smit.

And by the way, if you are wondering, President Obama has a lichen named after him; Colbert has a beetle; Gates has a flower fly, and Elvis has a wasp.

Notorious Arsenic-Tolerant Bacterium Needs Phosphorus After All

GFAJ-1 bacteria can live in high concentrations of arsenic ? but do not incorporate the element in to their DNA. Image: Science/AAAS

How does a Venus flytrap know when to snap shut? Can it actually feel an insect?s tiny, spindly legs? And how do cherry blossoms know when to bloom? Can they...

From Nature magazine

After 18 months of controversy, the official verdict is in: an arsenic-tolerant bacterium found in California?s Mono Lake cannot live without phosphorus.

In 2010, a group led by Felisa Wolfe-Simon, a microbiologist now at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, reported online in Science1 that the Halomonadaceae bacterium GFAJ-1 could include atoms of arsenic instead of phosphorus in crucial biochemicals such as DNA.

The bacteria were discovered thriving in the arsenic-rich sediment of the shallow saline Mono Lake, famed for its appearance on a picture-postcard insert to Pink Floyd?s 1975 album Wish You Were Here.

All known forms of life depend on at least six elements: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulphur. Arsenic has some chemical similarities with phosphorus, but is usually toxic to life, so the suggestion that it could sustain life triggered a storm of questions, as well as criticism about how the find was revealed at an enthusiastic NASA press conference (see ?Microbe gets toxic response?).

As a result of the controversy, when Wolfe-Simon's paper appeared in print in Science last June, it was accompanied by eight technical comments2?9 from scientists responding to it.

Rosie Redfield, a microbiologist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, set about testing the finding. Earlier this year, she said that she could not reproduce Wolfe-Simon?s results in laboratory experiments (see ?Study challenges existence of arsenic-based life?).

Redfield is now a co-author of one of two papers that confirm that, although the bacteria can tolerate arsenic, they do depend on phosphorus. The papers were published10, 11 by Science on 8 July.

Toxicity tolerance
Redfield and her colleagues report10 that when GFAJ-1 bacteria were grown in a medium containing arsenic and a very small amount of phosphorus, their DNA contained no detectable arsenic compounds, such as arsenate (the arsenic analogue of phosphate). In the second paper, Julia Vorholt, a microbiologist at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, and her colleagues report11 that the bacterium cannot grow in a phosphorus-free medium in the presence of arsenate. It can, however, grow in low-phosphate conditions in the presence of arsenate. GFAJ-1 ?is an arsenate-resistant, but still a phosphate-dependent bacterium?, the team writes.

(AP) ? When the air conditioner stopped recently in Ashley Jackson's Southfield, Mich., home, so too did normal conversations and nightly rest.

"Inside the house it was 91 degrees. ... I wasn't talking to anybody. Nobody was talking to anybody," said Jackson, 23, who works as a short-order cook in Detroit. "We mostly slept, but it was hard to sleep because of the heat. I probably got about four hours of sleep each night."

St. Louis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Chicago and several other Midwest cities already have set record highs this week or are on the verge of doing so. And with even low temperatures setting heat records, residents are left searching for any relief, day or night.

The National Weather Service reported late Thursday that the record-breaking heat that has baked the nation's midsection for several days was slowly moving into the mid-Atlantic states and Northeast. That forecast followed excessive-heat warnings Thursday for all of Illinois and Indiana, as well as parts of Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan.

St. Louis hit a record high of 105 on Wednesday and a record low of 83. In Wisconsin, the coolest Milwaukee and Madison got was 81 in the early morning, beating previous low records by 2 and 4 degrees respectively. Temperatures didn't fall below 79 in Chicago, 78 in Grand Rapids, Mich., and 75 in Indianapolis.

"When a day starts out that warm, it doesn't take as much time to reach high temperatures in the low 100s," said Marcia Cronce, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "You know it'll be a warm day when you start out at 80 degrees."

In Chicago on Thursday, the Shedd Aquarium lost power as temperatures soared to 103 degrees, a record for July 5. Officials said emergency generators immediately kicked in and the outage never threatened any of animals, but several hundred visitors were sent back out into the heat.

The heat returned Thursday and not even the setting of the sun brought respite as temperatures hovered around 90 degrees downtown at 10 p.m. Some visitors to the city made their way to Millennium Park to splash in the park's kid-friendly Crown Fountain.

"It's hotter here than it is in Arizona," said Mary Dominis, of Tempe, who brought her daughter along to play in the water. "I came here to visit my family and to get away from the heat of Arizona."

Ruben Davila, 32, of Northern California, was also in Chicago visiting family, and at the park seeking some cool relief.

"The heat has made it difficult to walk around and view the sites," said Davila, who was accompanied by his wife and three children.

The heat has been much worse than a mere inconvenience for some. St. Louis officials have reported three heat-related deaths in recent days, and officials in the Chicago area said two people there may have died due to heat on Wednesday.

It was hot enough to buckle a roadway Wednesday afternoon in Chicago, where Columbus Drive cracked and bulged into a geologic-looking 5-inch-high driving menace. The city has closed the road for repairs.

School officials in Chicago have canceled summer school classes in 21 buildings without air conditioning due to the excessive heat that's plaguing Illinois.

Chicago Public Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard on Thursday canceled classes at three elementary schools, which have air conditioning that isn't functioning properly. Those cancellations are in addition to those at 18 other schools, some of which don't have air conditioning at all. The National Weather Service's excessive heat warning for the city was extended through Friday evening.

Many cities have tried to help by opening cooling centers and extending the hours for their public pools. Compounding the high heat in Michigan was damage wrought by storms. About 110,000 homes and businesses across the state were without power Thursday.

Lack of electricity also is likely to compound the misery for many in the storm-ravaged East as the dangerous temperatures move in. Outages reported as late Thursday included nearly 230,000 in West Virginia and more than 83,000 in Virginia.

Maryland, which still had more than 45,000 without power, also reported Thursday that eight people had died of heat-related causes in recent days.

The heat has also taken a toll on agriculture.

Dean Hines, the owner of Hines Ranch Inc. in the western Wisconsin town of Ellsworth, said he found one of his 80 dairy cows dead Thursday, an apparent victim of the heat. He said he was worried about the rest of his herd, in terms of death toll, reproductive consequences and milk production.

"We're using fans and misters to keep them cool," he said. "It's been terrible. When it doesn't cool down at night, the poor animals don't have a chance to cool down."

PFT: Ex-Raider Stabler owes IRS $265,000

New Orleans Saints OTAGetty Images

[Editor's note:? The eight-page, single-spaced letter from Commissioner Roger Goodell affirming the suspensions of the four players accused of involvement in the Saints' bounty program raises several intriguing points, arguments, and circumstances.? We're breaking them up into separate posts in order to ensure that no one will fall asleep at their desks.]

After the June 18 hearing in the bounty case, two of the key witnesses publicly disputed portions of the evidence on which the NFL relied in making its case.? Interim head coach Joe Vitt reacted aggressively to transcribed typewritten notes attributing to him a $5,000 pledge to the Brett Favre bounty pool prior to the 2009 NFC title game, and Mike Ornstein disputed in an interview with PFT that he ?corroborated? Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma?s pledge of $10,000 to the Favre bounty.

Thereafter, NFLPA lawyer Jeffrey Kessler submitted a letter to the league office regarding the comments from Vitt and Ornstein.

In the July 3 letter upholding the suspensions, Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed ? and ultimately dismissed ? the comments from Vitt and Ornstein.

Vitt?s comments regarding the contents of the notes of the Favre bounty pledge amounts called into question the overall credibility of the notes, which also document the alleged $10,000 offer from Vilma.? Goodell says that the ?exhibit reflects the handwritten notes of an eyewitness to the meeting at which Mr. Vilma made the pledge regarding Favre; it is fully consistent with what three witnesses told NFL Security about Mr. Vilma?s statements at the meeting.?

In other words, Goodell is taking the position that because three people corroborated the contents of the notes as to Vilma, the presence of a major flaw in the notes gave the NFL no concern whatsoever about the overall reliability of the notes.

The three witnesses to whom Goodell?s letter refers were former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, an unnamed witness (possibly the person who made the notes), and Ornstein, who has since said he never said Vilma pledged any money to the Favre bounty.? In response to Ornstein?s remarks, Goodell explains that ?at least two other credible witnesses confirmed that Vilma made such an offer.?

That?s fine, but before Ornstein told PFT ? unequivocally and repeatedly and at times profanely ? that he didn?t tell the NFL that Vilma pledged money to a bounty on Favre, the NFL considered Ornstein to be a credible witness.

With Williams not talking publicly (rumors continue to persist that he nearly did, but that he was blocked by his lawyer) and with the other witness still unknown, it?s impossible to determine whether the league?s representations regarding the versions supplied by these other two ?credible witnesses? contain a flaw similar to the one that Ornstein?s version now contains.

In short, Vitt?s comments were disregarded because three witnesses confirmed Vilma?s pledge of $10,000 to the Favre bounty, and the comments from one of those three witnesses were disregarded because, well, there are still two other witnesses.? And, based on the tone and content of the July 3 letter, no apparent effort has been made by the league office to re-confirm that Williams and the unnamed witness will continue to stick by their guns, even after Ornstein publicly has said that the league has gotten it all wrong.

And that?s why it?s critical to get to the truth, no matter what the truth may be.

Niall Horan Showers Fans with the C-Word


Niall Horan may need to clean up his act, or at least his mouth, if he really wants a shot with Demi Lovato.

The One Direction singer took major exception to fans asking for his time/attention at the Dublin Airport this week, never breaking stride and using the naughtiest of words in response to their catcalls:

“Remember the last time I walked out here… you shower of cunts.”

Whoa there! Watch the one-sided exchange now:

Horan later took to Twitter and apologized for the insult:

really sorry if I caused any offence. It was just banter with fans who I think of more as mates… but I understand that it's not a word I should be using at all.

Come on now, Niall. Language such as that is NOT what makes you beautiful.

11. Cyberview in tie-up with French firm for energy services

CYBERJAYA: Cyberview Sdn Bhd, the developer of Cyberjaya, is divesting a 49% stake in wholly-owned subsidiary Pendinginan Megajana Sdn Bhd (PMSB) to French utility company GDF SUEZ Energy Services.

Cyberview managing director Hafidz Hashim said the move would enable PMSB to leverage on GDF SUEZ's know-how to further expand its district cooling business.

The company would also be able to gain capital expenditure from this divestment which is needed for its growth.

?Network planning and services that we provide is getting complicated as we move on. We are pleased to enter into this agreement with GDF SUEZ which has a broad spectrum of business activities as well as global expertise.

?The agreement will add value not just to PMSB and Cyberview but also to the initiatives being pursued for the progress of Cyberjaya,? he said after the signing of a term sheet agreement. Hafidz signed on behalf of Cyberview while GDF ZUEZ was represented by chief executive director Jerome Tolot.

Tolot said PMSB was chosen because it was a good company that had built efficient plants.

He said the transaction would be funded via the company's equity and financing from bank. The partnership is expected to be finalised in August.

PMSB's district cooling plants, with a capacity of 19,000RT (a pseudo-unit of energy), now serve 37 major buildings in Cyberjaya. The system employs a network of underground supply pipes that distributes chilled water from its central to cool buildings with higher energy efficiency.

PMSB recorded a profit of RM15mil last year.

?It is heavy on capital expenditure for a plant of this scale. Currently, we are making about 8% return on investment.

?Our way forward is to go beyond the borders of Cyberjaya, which is naturally the Klang Valley. Later on, (we will move on to) other parts of the country,? Hafidz said.

He added that the company was eyeing a project ?somewhere in greater Kuala Lumpur?.
