Abstract: A pitch board game includes a board made of drop stitch inflatable material. The board, prior to inflation, is light weight, compact and easily carried from location to location. When inflated, the board is comparable in strength and hardness to solid wooden board. The game itself is played like the game “cornhole,” as bean bags are tossed by players onto the upper surface of the board, which is propped up at an acute angle. Bags landing on the surface count one point, and bags landing in a hole in the board count three points.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of screening for a sortilin binding antagonist. In some embodiments, the methods include incubating an agent with a sortilin protein and a sortilin ligand, where the sortilin protein and sortilin ligand are each attached to a member of a fluorescence donor/acceptor pair, exciting the fluorescence donor of the fluorescence donor/acceptor pair, and detecting fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence donor at a second wavelength and fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence acceptor at a third wavelength. A decrease in the ratio of the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence acceptor at the third wavelength to the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescence donor at the second wavelength, as compared to the ratio in the absence of the agent, indicates that the agent is a sortilin binding antagonist.
