WINTER PARK, FL, May 18, 2012 (Press-News.org) The excitement for the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, England is starting to build. And though Beijing's impressive $100 million-plus opening ceremonies for the 2008 Olympics will be hard to top, London is certainly going to try. In December, Prime Minister David Cameron doubled the budget for the opening and closing ceremonies to $130 million (81 million pounds) and new casting calls went out almost immediately.
Danny Boyle (of Slumdog Millionaire fame) is choreographing the event and is promising 12,000 performers, including dancers, drummers, acrobats, skateboarders, nurses, and imitators of historical importance to Britons. The Red Arrows, a synchronized stunt-jet team usually reserved for the royal family, will take part, as will the Queen herself. A special mini-film featuring Daniel Craig as James Bond was shot with unprecedented access to Buckingham Palace to be featured in the Opening Ceremonies, and the A-list of musical performers at the Closing Ceremonies features the Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Elton John and Paul McCartney.
Like the athletic events, venues and ceremonies in Beijing for the 2008 Games, the 2012 Games promise to be historic in every sense of the word. Just imagine the feeling of being there to witness the spectacle of the Opening Ceremony, and seeing the flame of the Olympic torch entering the stadium in person. And then witnessing the finest athletes on Earth competing for the gold in 36 events - including the marque competitions of track and field, basketball, tennis, swimming, diving, BMX and soccer.

Babies' susceptibility to colds linked to immune response at birth
2012-05-18
Innate differences in immunity can be detected at birth, according to new research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. And babies with a better innate response to viruses have fewer respiratory illnesses in the first year of life.
"Viral respiratory infections are common during childhood," says first author Kaharu Sumino, MD, assistant professor of medicine. "Usually they are mild, but there's a wide range of responses — from regular cold symptoms to severe lung infections and even, in rare instances, death. We wanted to look at whether the innate ...
Herschel Space Observatory study reveals galaxy-packed filament
2012-05-18
A McGill-led research team using the Herschel Space Observatory has discovered a giant, galaxy-packed filament ablaze with billions of new stars. The filament connects two clusters of galaxies that, along with a third cluster, will smash together and give rise to one of the largest galaxy superclusters in the universe.
The filament is the first structure of its kind spied in a critical era of cosmic buildup when colossal collections of galaxies called superclusters began to take shape. The glowing galactic bridge offers astronomers a unique opportunity to explore ...

Harmful ingredients masked in product labels affect the unaware
The National Skin Care Institute wants to warn consumers of the risk toxic products poise to their skin and overall general health. There is not enough transparency being seen from big brand names and consumers are often unaware of the harmful chemical ingredients contained in the products they are bringing into their homes and exposing their families to. The worst part is that many of these products are being marketed as safe for use on the smallest and most vulnerable of us all - babies.

IU research: Forest diversity from Canada to the sub-tropics influenced by family proximity
2012-05-18
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- How species diversity is maintained is a fundamental question in biology. In a new study, a team of Indiana University biologists has shown for the first time that diversity is influenced on a spatial scale of unparalleled scope, in part, by how well tree seedlings survive under their own parents.
Scientists have long considered conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD), a process where the mortality of a species rises in coincidence with its increasing abundance, to be a key mechanism maintaining diversity at the local scale. In new research ...

Southern pine beetle impacts on forest ecosystems
2012-05-18
OTTO, NC--Research by USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station (SRS) scientists shows that the impacts of recent outbreaks of southern pine beetle further degraded shortleaf pine-hardwood forest ecosystems in the southern Appalachian region. The authors suggest that cutting and burning these sites reduces heavy fuel loads, improves soil nutrient status, and opens the canopy for restoration of these shortleaf pine communities.
In an article published in the June issue of journal Forest Ecology and Management, research ecologist Katherine Elliott and fellow scientists ...

Tiny tool can play big role against tuberculosis, UF researcher finds
2012-05-18
A tiny filter could have a big impact around the world in the fight against tuberculosis. Using the traditional microscope-based diagnosis method as a starting point, a University of Florida lung disease specialist and colleagues in Brazil have devised a way to detect more cases of the bacterial infection.
"We're hopeful that this more sensitive method, which is both simple and inexpensive, will improve diagnosis in patients," said lead researcher Kevin Fennelly, M.D., M.P.H., an associate professor in the UF College of Medicine's department of medicine and Southeastern ...

2012-05-18
GAINESVILLE, Fla. --- University of Florida researchers have described a new extinct giant turtle species from the same Colombian mine where they discovered Titanoboa – and one of the only animals the world's largest snake could not have eaten.
Working with scientists from North Carolina State University and the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, researchers at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the UF campus name the species in a study published online today in the Journal of Systematic Palaeontology. The study's findings could be useful for understanding ...
