Staff Pick In 1965, Asimov's Foundation trilogy beat out several other science fiction and fantasy series (including The Lord of the Rings) to receive a special Hugo Award for "Best All-Time Series." Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Sheldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future--to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save mankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire--both scientists and scholars--and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the Galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for a fututre generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation.
But soon the fledgling Foundation finds itself at the mercy of corrupt warlords rising in the wake of the receding Empire. Mankind's last best hope is faced with an agonizing choice: submit to the barbarians and be overrun--or fight them and be destroyed. About the AuthorIsaac Asimov began his Foundation Series at the age of twenty-one, not realizing that it would one day be considered a cornerstone of science fiction. During his legendary career, Asimov penned pver 470 books on subjects ranging from science to Shakespeare to history, though he was most loved for his award-winning science fiction sagas, which include the Robot, Empire, and Foundation series. Named a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction Writers of America, Asimov entertained and educated readers of all ages for close to five decasdes. He died, at age of seventy-two, in April 1992.

Situation: Charles Hart, a consultant to a community agency, has been asked to help identify useful resources for the agency's caregiver education and support program staff to help caregivers address end-of-life issues more effectively.
Big issues confront us when we think about our own death or that of someone we love. Our attitudes and beliefs about religion, pain, suffering, loss of consciousness, and leaving behind those we love come into play. This Fact Sheet is not intended to provide a comprehensive planning tool but instead provides an outline of areas that need to be considered when faced with end-of-life issues. http://www.caregiver.org/caregiver/jsp/content_node.jsp?nodeid=401

This guide assists individuals and families by providing an overview of end of life issues that are commonly faced by loved ones. Readers of this booklet will find helpful information on providing comfort care, finding direct care, understanding and planning healthcare decisions, things to do when someone passes away, getting the assistance for your grief and valuable resources.

This article discusses the various roles family caregivers can play during the dying process. http://www.caregiverslibrary.org/caregivers-resources/grp-end-of-life-issues/the-role-of-family-caregivers-article.aspx
A better understanding of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, can be helpful when it comes to making this difficult choice before a crisis occurs. This Fact Sheet specifically addresses the process of CPR and describes the DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) form, the legal document used to indicate to medical professionals your or your loved one's wishes. http://www.caregiver.org/caregiver/jsp/content_node.jsp?nodeid=397
Families caring for a chronically ill loved one may eventually face very difficult decisions regarding medical treatment for the person in their care. The progression of many conditions Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or post-stroke, for example may lead to two of the most common such decisions: whether to use feeding tubes when a chronically ill person can no longer chew and swallow his or her food, and whether to use a ventilator when someone can no longer breathe on his or her own. The Fact Sheet provides caregivers with an understanding of the decisions surrounding the use feeding tubes and/or ventilators. http://www.caregiver.org/caregiver/jsp/content_node.jsp?nodeid=399
This tool can be used for effectively communicating the wishes of seriously ill patients to have or to limit medical treatment as they move from one care setting to another. Source: Ohio Health & Science University http://www.ohsu.edu/polst/
The United Hospital Fund's Next Step in Care published a "Family Caregiver's Guide to Hospice and Palliative Care." Next Step in Care is a national campaign sponsored by the United Hospital Fund that aims to engage medical and long term care facilities, home health agencies, and patient advocacy groups to address a range of transition-related issues. The guide provides family caregivers with insight on the decision-making process when assisting a loved one's transition into hospice and palliative care.

The document is a checklist of questions to ask as the caregiver tries to find the right hospice service for the loved one. http://www.caregiverslibrary.org/Portals/0/QuestionsAboutHospiceCare.pdf
The Fact Sheet discusses the shifting emotions and considerations involved in holding on or letting go. Addressing these sensitive issues ahead of time will allow a person with a chronic illness to have some choice or control over his or her care, help families with the process of making difficult decisions, and may make this profound transition a little easier for everyone concerned. http://www.caregiver.org/caregiver/jsp/content_node.jsp?nodeid=400

One More Summit Swap
I have one Sewing Summit swap item that I made, but unfortunately didn't complete in time to actually swap it in person at the Summit. Happily, Elizabeth's mini is all done now, and she has received it, so I'm free to share it! This was for my "roommate swap" with AnneMarie and Elizabeth. Elizabeth's mini is the same design as AnneMarie's (which you can see here), but in different fabric/colors.
As you might remember, each star is from Carol Doak's 50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars, which features stars named after each of the states. So I went for the hard-core symbolism and did four stars: Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio, and Utah. One for each of our home states, and one for the state where we all met. I really love how both of these minis turned out!
I used yellow thread to quilt Elizabeth's, a decision I questioned after it was done. But now I like it and I'm glad I broke out of my usual thread rut. : ) And I love love love the stripey binding. I usually like to do striped binding on the bias, but this one just called out for straight-grain, and I'm really happy with the end result.
Here's the back, with several iterations of Dena Designs' Tarika. I love these prints.
Yay for roommates, sewing buddies, and friends. Thanks for a fun swap, ladies!

About the artist
After surfacing in 2000 with the breakthrough single "Yellow," Coldplay quickly became one of the biggest bands of the new millennium, honing a mix of introspective Brit-pop and anthemic rock that landed the British quartet a near-permanent residence on record charts worldwide. The group's emergence was perfectly timed; Radiohead had just released the overly cerebral Kid A, while Oasis had ditched two founding members and embraced ... more

After years of too much hype, it's safe to say that the mobile internet is here. Sure, a lot of the activity is taking place in closed gardens (App Store, cough). But thanks to the wide availability of internet-enabled handsets, the rise of smartphones and 3G networks, more and more people are accessing websites through their mobiles.
Unfortunately, access and demand haven't yet produced the ideal mobile web experience. In fact, according to a recent study conducted by Gomez, Inc., in the past year two out of three mobile users have run into problems while trying to access websites on their mobiles.

With programs in 25 countries, students can see the world through one of McCombs' BBA exchange programs. Study abroad programs give students real world exposure, and they also provide life-changing experiences and opportunities. Students who return from study abroad programs have an expanded worldview, and they're sought out by international companies. And, yes, you'll still graduate on time! Studying abroad sets students apart, and aids their personal growth and intercultural development. Studying abroad will have an impact that will last them for the rest of their life. Connect with Study Abroad:
"My biggest accomplishment while studying in Hong Kong was being able to communicate with people even though I do not know how to speak Cantonese. With the help of my Chinese background (and the fact that many people there can speak English), I am proud to say that I learned how to get around, how to look up good places to eat and found great shopping districts. More importantly, through this experience I developed my independence and now do not have to rely on others as much as I had to prior to my trip." ---Wannie Wang, BBA 2009, Marketing
"I LOVED my study abroad experience. I never realized how much of an impact it would have on my life; not only while in Italy, but even after I returned home. I learned so much about appreciating differences in cultures. Also, however cliché this may sound, I learned so much about myself (my character, my limits, my drive, etc.) through my study abroad experience. I recommend studying abroad to anyone interested." ---Ashley Joseph, BBA 2009, Finance
"My semester abroad in Belgium opened so many opportunities and experiences I never would have encountered in the US. In six months, I gained much more than information from my classes- I learned to be more culturally sensitive, to quickly adapt to various situations, and to relax at a different pace of life. In addition, I loved being able to travel on weekends throughout Europe on a whim; it was an amazing semester that I will never forget!" ---Joy Wang, BBA 2009, Marketing
"Two of my friends came to visit me and travel for the last two months that I was in Europe, and it was such a learning experience to see their faces and reactions when they first arrived, and realize how much I had changed since I first arrived in Paris. I was exactly like them in their confusion and insecurity about functioning in a foreign environment, but by the time that they showed up, I had accustomed myself not only to Paris, but to the idea of foreign situations in general. I was no longer scared of getting on a plane or a train to a city I'd never been to before, because I guess I had become used to the idea of being completely lost! This really is one of the best benefits of studying abroad - it takes away your fear of the unknown, and greatly increases your sense of adventure! So, that, combined with the two months I got to spend with my friends as we made our way across Europe, traveling to amazing places like Greece and all over Italy was my best memory of study abroad!" ---Alison Krusee, BBA 2008, International Business
"My time abroad at the National University of Singapore exposed me to a truly global classroom environment as I learned from international professors, worked alongside classmates from Europe, Asia, and South America, and experienced first-hand a multitude of Southeast Asian countries, cultures and cuisines. It was an amazing experience." ---Michelle Lin, BBA 2009, Business Honors, Finance and English
McCombs offers many opportunities to study abroad. You can participate in one of the BBA international programs, obtain an internship abroad or participate in one of the international programs offered by the university. The best part? You don't have to know a foreign language, you can still graduate on time and the cost is comparable to attending UT. Whether you spend a summer, a semester or an entire year in another country, you'll come away with more than school credits and great travel photos. Studying abroad gives you a window into other cultures and a valuable understanding of the international business climate, an ear for other languages and a sense of how people interact outside the U.S. Studying abroad gives you a greater maturity, independence and will build your confidence. And employers find these skills vital. When you study abroad you enhance your career preparation by learning in a cross-cultural environment, opening up to different perspectives and embracing change, all qualities that are sought after by employers. Want to hear firsthand what it's like to live and study in a foreign country from McCombs students currently studying abroad? Visit our award-winning blog.
The experience lets you "try new things, and step out of your comfort-zone so you can test your limits," said Brenda Jimenez about studying in Spain after her first year at UT. You can learn to be flexible, humble, and patient in an unfamiliar culture. The change deepens your intellectual maturity, encourages independent thinking, and builds confidence.
When you study abroad with a BBA exchange program, you earn UT credit and pay UT tuition! Study abroad can be integrated into your degree plan. "I was able to get a glimpse of the world AND get college credit," said Ann Batdorf, a UT junior who studied in South Korea.
McCombs students can study at highly ranked business schools around the world. We have 28 partner universities in 23 countries to choose from. BBA and undergraduate MPA students can enhance classroom experience by taking courses taught by foreign professors alongside students from around the world.
Live and learn in an educational environment not confined to a classroom. Experience the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of places you have only read about. When you live in a foreign country and take courses that offer a different international perspective, you'll become a more globally-conscious citizen with real-world experience interacting with people from diverse backgrounds.
Immersion is the best way to learn a language. Living and learning on a daily basis in a foreign country encourages you to become fluent. "I enjoyed the times our German teacher walked with us to the market and helped us with our German when speaking with locals," wrote McCombs School of Business student Viridiana Herrera about her experience in Vienna.
Observe the inter-relatedness of other cultures and nations. Living in another culture brings you face-to-face with different perspectives on world events and your own country. When you return home you'll have a broader perspective, and will be more tolerant of other cultures. McCombs student Eric Hui said that his experience in Hong Kong "expanded his cultural horizons, took him out of his comfort zone, and instilled in him a desire to experience all that the world has to offer."
Before you even step foot in a foreign country, McCombs students have an opportunity to meet and interact with returning study abroad students and current international exchange students studying at McCombs who can help prepare you for your experience abroad. Plus, when it's your time to go overseas, you'll have a chance to meet many more students from around the world!
Today's workplace is increasingly global, and requires knowledge and experience that transcends national boundaries. Provost Sheldon Ekland-Olson encourages students to study abroad to enable them "to assume leadership roles in the global arena." When you study abroad you enhance your career preparation by demonstrating willingness to learn in a cross-cultural environment, to be open to different perspectives, and to risk change. All of these skills are valuable to employers, and studying abroad always looks good on a resume!
Studying abroad isn't just about immersing yourself in a new culture or improving a foreign language. It's the perfect opportunity to share with others about what your culture and life is like in the U.S. You can dispel stereotypes and negative perceptions about the U.S. and Americans through the positive interactions you'll have overseas.
This is the best time in your life to travel abroad. After you graduate it will be more difficult to juggle the responsibilities of work and family to travel extensively. Check out the opportunities to study abroad on a BBA exchange program, a Short-Term International Program, or search for the numerous programs available through the UT Study Abroad Office http://www.utexas.edu/student/abroad/. There is financial assistance available too! Do it now!
With programs in 25 countries, BBA and undergraduate MPA students can see the world through one of McCombs' study abroad programs.

Studying abroad can be affordable! McCombs undergraduate students participating on a BBA exchange program can continue to use their financial aid and existing scholarships toward their summer or semester abroad. In addition, numerous study abroad scholarships are available to help fund other study abroad-related costs such as your airfare, visa, passport, and international living expenses. It is never too early to start thinking about how to finance study abroad!
Students are encouraged to start researching their funding options early on as some scholarships require students to apply a semester or a year before departing overseas. Familiarizing oneself with the scholarship requirements and deadlines is an important step in preparing a successful application for scholarship consideration.
Financial aid is available for study abroad programs approved through the Study Abroad Office and BBA International Programs office at The University of Texas at Austin. Interested students seeking financial aid for their program should complete the FAFSA for the appropriate academic period. The BBA International Programs office will send the Office of Student Financial Services (OSFS) the estimated cost for your study abroad program. OSFS will revise your financial aid awards based on these costs and send you a Financial Aid Notification. Additional grant funding is not available from the OSFS office for study abroad. Study abroad students are offered additional loans — student, parent, or private — as eligibility permits.
For additional information about using financial aid to study abroad, visit the UT Study Abroad Office Funding Web site and the Office of Student Financial Services Web site.

The second round of the South Georgia Classic is underway. Updates of the tournament are below, with the most recent updates being found at the top of the page.
7:05 p.m.
John Daly has made the cut, sinking a 12-feet birdie putt on No. 18. He is even par. Leader is Hudson Swafford at 8-under par. Good night, folks.
5:20 p.m.
John Daly is falling apart. The two-time major champion is 3-over par today and 1-over par for the tournament. He is thru 14 holes today and is currently projected to miss the cut for the tournament.
Daly's day started with four straight pars, a birdie on No. 5, back-to-back pars and then a triple bogey on the par-3 eighth. Daly bounced back with a birdie on the ninth but fell apart with back-to-back bogeys on Nos. 12-13. Following his tee shot on the 13th, Daly reportedly broke his driver (will confirm with Daly after round).
Hudson Swafford is back to being the leader all by himself, after Bhavik Patel dropped back to 7-under par. Right now, 70 players are even or better, the projected cut line.
4:10 p.m.
Bhavik Patel is 3-under thru nine holes and is now your co-leader with Hudson Swafford at 8-under par. Three guys are tied for third at 7-under par and four are tied for sixth at 5-under par. Now 79 players are projected to make the cut, which is even par.
2009 champion Garth Mulroy has withdrawn from the event. He was 1-over. 2008 champion Bryan DeCorso and 2010 champion Ewan Porter are both going to miss the cut, while 2007 champion John Kimbell is currently sitting on the cut line.
John Daly triple bogeyed the par-3 eighth, but responded with a birdie on No. 9. He is now 1-over on the day and is 1-under on the tournament.
Former VSU Blazer Brent Witcher gave a stroke back and is currently 1-over today and is also 1-under for the tournament. He is playing in the final group of the day.
2:45 p.m.
Every golfer is now on the course for the second round. Many of the golfers from the morning wave that have made the cut are on the driving range, including the current leader Hudson Swafford, who is at 8-under.
Day 1 leader Ryan Spears, who fired a bogey-free 6-under, bogeyed his first hole of his round today and is now 5-under.
The wind is still blowing and could be a factor this afternoon.
John Daly is currently 1-under today and now 3-under for the tournament. He is currently tied for 17th with 13 holes remaining in his round today.
The projected cut line is still even-par, although there are now 71 golfers projected to make the cut, compared to the 75 earlier today.
Daly is one of those golfers that will be making the cut, unless something disastrous happens today.
Follow me on Twitter at @Ed_Hooper for constant updates.
1:10 p.m.
Hudson Swafford is in the clubhouse as the leader following his bogey-free 5-under in today's second round. Swafford is now 8-under for the tournament, one shot better than Michael Putnam, his playing partner the last two days.
Swafford, who finished 27th on the Web.com Tour's money list in 2012, birdied three of his first six holes and finished with birdies on Nos. 14 and 16.
With the wind picking up, Swafford's 8-under at the lead might hold up, as conditions will certainly worsen for some golfers, especially those that don't hit the ball far, this afternoon.
Currently, there are five players tied for third place and four tied for seventh place. John Daly is about to tee off at 1:10 p.m. Updates from his round coming soon.

10:40 p.m.
Good Friday morning from Kinderlou Forest Golf Club. The second round of the South Georgia Classic is underway. As it stands, Hudson Swafford and Andrew Loupe are the low men so far in the round. Both are 3-under for the tournament and 6-under for the tournament.
Swafford has just made his turn and Loupe is threw his first seven holes.
Of course, the day 1 leader, Ryan Spears, is 6-under and doesn't tee off until 2 p.m.
As for the high guys of the day, Woody Austin, the 2007 Open Championship runner-up, is 8-over through his first 11 holes of the day. Austin was 4-under following his first round and finished second in this event last year. Austin is now 4-over on the tournament, well behind the projected cut line.
Speaking of the projected cut, 75 players are, as of right now, expected to make the cut, which is even-par.
Among those projected to miss the cut is 2009 Classic winner Garth Mulroy, who shot a 2-over par in his opening round but has yet to tee off today, and 2008 winner Bryan DeCorso, who shot a dismal 7-over par in his opening round and is currently 1-under for his second round, still six shots above the cut line.
The 2007 Classic champion, John Kimbell, shot a 2-over par in his opening round and is also projected, for now, to make the cut.
We have had a disqualification today, as well. Tim Wilkinson was DQ'd after signing a wrong scorecard following his Thursday round.
REMINDER: John Daly tees off today at 1:10 p.m., while leader Ryan Spears goes off at 2 p.m. Brent Witcher, the former VSU Blazer that shot a 2-under par Thursday after qualifying for the event Monday, is in the final group today, set to tee off from the 10th tee at 2:30 p.m.

Per company policy, my final story from Thursday (the one about Spears and the leaders) is not yet online. Sorry.
More updates to come throughout the day. Until then, follow me on Twitter at @Ed_Hooper.
6:20 p.m.
OK. Day 1 of the South Georgia Classic is winding down. Needless to say, it has been a long day. I just hit hour 10 here at Kinderlou Forest today. Unfortunately, not much has changed this afternoon. We have a few new guys in contention, but the top two has stayed the same.
Woody Austin was a co-leader for a few holes but dropped back to 4-under par. The final groups are finishing up and should be done by 7 p.m. Then, 12 hours later the first group for Friday will be on the course getting day two started.
As it stands right now — it is subject to change — Ryan Spears is the leader at 6-under. Phillip Pettitt Jr. leads a group of three golfers tied at 5-under par and nine golfers are tied for fifth at 4-under par. Fourteen golfers are tied at 3-under par. While there are still golfers on the course, and it can change, 59 golfers are below par, so expect the cutline following Friday's round to be low.
VSU alumnus Brent Witcher had a nice finish, which I reported on earlier. Witcher, who birdied his first two holes and followed up with a bogey, birdied the 18th hole and is tied with a bunch of guys at 2-under par. But, Witcher is in contention and another good Friday round will put him playing in the weekend on a course he called home for his final two years of college. It would be good for the hometown guy to have hometown college fans rooting him on.
Following his round, Witcher spent nearly two hours on the driving range, working through some mistakes from today. He tees off on Friday at 2:30 p.m., the final group of the day.
John Daly has been done for over five hours and we haven't seen him sense he walked off the ninth green. Daly, who shot a 2-under 68, tees off at 1:10 p.m. tomorrow, so fans looking to skip out of work early can come and watch him.
As for what to expect on Friday, the weather is going to be even better than today, so expect the course to give way to even lower scores.
One thing we heard today was players talking about how the fairways didn't have much roll in them because of rain from last Friday and Sunday. Another sunny day (it is sunny right now) could help the course dry up for the afternoon wave of tee times on Friday, which helps people like Witcher, Daly, Spears and Pettitt Jr., all of whom played in the morning today.
This is my final post of the day. There will be plenty of coverage in the newspaper tomorrow and I will be back tweeting and posting throughout the day on Friday — and all weekend, too.
Make sure to follow me on Twitter at @Ed_Hooper.
4:05 p.m.
It has kind of been slow here in the early part of the afternoon wave of tee times, largely because it takes a while for some golfers to make a push towards the lead.
Speaking of the lead, 2001 PGA Championship runnerup Woody Austin, who finished third in last year's South Georgia Classic, has raced out to a quick start in his opening round and is now 6-under thru 11 holes and is tied for the lead with Ryan Spears.
A few other afternoon guys are making moves. Andrew Putnam is 4-under and Hudson Swafford, a former UGA Bulldog from Tallahassee, Fla., is 3-under par, along with a host of afternoon guys that includes Tyrone Van Aswegan and Skip Kendall.
Looking back over the morning rounds, Brent Witcher finished his round at 2-under par, posting a birdie on the par-4 18th, a hole not known for many birdies. Witcher currently leads the field in driving distance today, averaging 307 yards per drive.
I will have more coming soon. In the mean time, follow me on Twitter at @Ed_Hooper and read about John Daly's first round here.
2:05 p.m.
Ryan Spears just finished a bogey free round that included six birdies and is now your clubhouse the leader at 6-under par. Spears, who was sick and hasn't played a competitive round of golf in a month, leads Phillip Pettitt Jr., Troy Merritt and Bhavick Patel, all of whom sit at 5-under par.
The temperature is continuing to climb and the ball is starting to fly better, according to Spears. The one thing that could hurt the afternoon rounds is the wind and possible light rain that is in the forecast.
Former Blazer Brent Witcher is 1-under par thru 15. He has pared every hole since opening his round with back-to-back birdies and a bogey on the par-4 third.
1:05 p.m.
It has been a while since I last posted, largely because I have been on the course watching the leaders and conducting interviews. Right now, Ryan Spears is 6-under thru 14 holes and is the leader. Phillip Pettitt Jr. is 5-under par and in the clubhouse. Troy Merritt and Bhavik Patel are also at 5-under par.
John Daly's day is complete. He is two-under par, following a birdie on his seventh hole, the par-3 No. 8.
Daly spoke with media and said he thought he hit the ball off the tee and putted the ball very well, but everything else needed work. I will have more on Daly's day coming up here shortly.
Brent Witcher, the former VSU Blazer is still at 1-under par and is nearing the final few holes of his round.
— Follow me on Twitter at @Ed_Hooper.
11:25 p.m.
Not a whole lot of new things to report. There is a lot of swapping of the lead, which is typical of the first round.
Brent Witcher is still 1-under par thru 6. John Daly is still even. We currently have a 3-way tie for the lead. Pettitt Jr., Dusty Fielding and Bhavick Patel are all 4-under par.
Also, the chatter here in the media room is that the soup in the clubhouse is very good. So, if you're a VIP guest, maybe ask for it.
More to come soon. Follow me on Twitter at @Ed_Hooper.
10:45 a.m.
OK, I just walked three holes following former Blazer Brent Witcher. He is playing pretty well right now. He birdied the first two holes before a bogey on the par-4 No. 3. He is currently 1-under thru four holes and is tied for 13th. Still a lot of golf to go.
I am back in the media room and have been keeping an eye on the leaderboard, which is frequently changing. Right now, Chesson Hadley, a Georgia Tech graduate, is the leader. Hadley is 4-under thru his first six holes, posting birdies on four of his first five.
The early leaders if Camilo Benedetti and Phillip Pettitt Jr. are still in the mix. Benedetti is tied for second with three others, while Pettitt Jr. is tied for sixth at 2-under.
As for two-time major champion John Daly, he is currently even-par thru 10 holes. Daly, currently T28, started his round on the back 9 holes and birdied his third hole of the day before going 1-over par when he posted a double bogey on the par-4 15th. Daly got back to even-par when he birdied the par-3 17th.
As for the breaking news, Sam Saunders, the grandson to Arnold Palmer (I wrote a story last year and can be found here http://valdostadailytimes.com/sports/x474407339/Trying-to-make-his-own-name) has three birdies thru his last three holes. Saunders is now T6 at 2-under par.
More updated to come. Until then, follow me on Twitter at @Ed_Hooper. I am tweeting a lot.
9 a.m.
Good Thursday morning, everyone. I am settled into the media room here at Kinderlou Forest Golf Club. The first round of the South Georgia Classic is underway. I will have updates throughout the day. Hope you enjoy the coverage.
Within the next 15 minutes every golfer in the morning wave of tee times will be on the course, including two-time major champion John Daly and former Valdosta State golfer Brent Witcher, who goes off at 9:15 a.m.
As it stands right now, Phillip Pettitt jr., Camillo Benedetti and Ariel Canete are the tri-leaders at 2-under par. Pettitt Jr. is thru six holes and Benedetti and Canete are thru five. A whole host of players are 1-under par, including Daly, who is thru three holes.
The weather right now is kind of cool and there is plenty of fog on the course. It will burn off soon and give way to mostly sunny skies with temperatures in the low to mid 80's.
More to come soon.

Greetings from Kinderlou Forest Golf Club and the media room. The final day of the week before the actual tournament gets going.
2:40 p.m.
John Daly's Pro-Am appearance today is over, and he seems to have enjoyed playing with Kinderlou Forest Golf Club creator John Langdale and former Lowndes County Sheriff/Commissioner Ashley Paulk.
"It is great," Daly said. "I played with Johnnie, who built it, and Spence with Davis Love's name on it and we just had a great day today. It is awesome. (This course) is a gem."
Daly's Pro-Am was his first look at the course, and he came away impressed with the course's setup and distance.
"This is one of the best golf courses I have ever played," Daly said. "I wish I was 20 years younger playing it because it is right up my alley. Not too many courses where we get to hit drivers on most of the par 4s and 5s. Plus, I have never had to hit more 4-, 5-, 6-irons into more par 4s than ever. That is where golf is going to be in about 10 years and I think Johnnie and his guys did it on the course a few years in advance….It is just an awesome golf course. It isn't easy; it is difficult. It is long, but it is definitely one of the 10s that I have ever played. It fits my eye off the tee."
Daly, who finished ninth on the PGA Tour in driving distance in 2012, will surely have the ability to hit the ball down the long fairways at Kinderlou this week. One thing that will pose a problem for Daly will be using long irons into the greens.
"It is tough because I am not used to hitting so many long irons into par 4s. It is not something I have practice a whole lot in my career. A lot of the par 4s, if I hit an 8-iron into them I am usually frustrated. It is a great week to work on that. It is precision golf."
When asked about his clothing options this week, Daly, who is known for wearing entertaining clothing, said it will surely be "loud."
I will have a complete story on Daly coming soon and it will be available in Thursday's edition of The Times.
— Follow me on Twitter at @Ed_Hooper.
12:10 p.m.
Right now, the morning flight of the Wednesday Pro-Am is finishing up and the afternoon flight is underway.
Among those on the course is John Daly, who will be finishing up here within the next 30 minutes and then will be speaking with media soon. It will be his first time speaking with the media this week here in Valdosta.
There are four past South Georgia Classic champions in the field this year — John Kimbell (2007), Bryan DeCorso (2008), Garth Mulroy (2009) and Ewan Porter (2010). The last two champions (Ted Potter Jr., 2011, and Luke List, 2012). There has never been a repeat champion in this tournament's history.
The list of tee times for the Tuesday and Friday rounds were released this morning. Here are some notable tee times for Thursday's opening round:
John Daly — 7:55 off the No. 10 tee

Egyptian Canopic Jars were in use from the Old Kingdom onwards in Egypt to store various internal organs removed during the process of mummification. They were four in number and eventually came to represent the Four Sons of Horus. Each jar had a characteristic head associated with the demi-god charged with the safekeeping of a particular human organ. The four genii also represented the four cardinal points of the compass. Imseti, the human-headed jar representing the south, contained the liver and was protected by the goddess Isis.
This jar is based on those currently in the Egyptian Musuem, Cairo and date from 600 BC. It is made of bonded stone with an antique stone finish and is about 8.5 inches (22 cm) high with small interior chamber and removable lids. Interior Base: 5"H x 2.75"W

Team Type 1 rebuilds after a devastating crime.
By Joe Lindsey
The riders didn't know until none of the team staff showed up at breakfast that morning. It was Saturday, the final stage of the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartoli stage race in Italy, and they were looking forward to a strong finish in a race where sprinter Andrea Grendene almost won the opening stage and leaders Laszlo Bodrogi and Rubens Bertogliati placed in the top 10 at the time trial.
Instead, none of them would even start after thieves broke into the team truck and bus the night before, stealing away with well over 20 complete bikes including time trial machines, more than 30 wheelsets, spare parts, and even the mechanics' tools – over 500,000 Euro in equipment and damage to vehicles. No bikes, no way to race.
"When we came down we saw they had pried the complete side cargo doors off the bus," said team mechanic Andy Stone. "It was … very impressive. We knew we were in trouble."
Riders took it well, considering the circumstances, said European press officer Chris Baldwin (Note: Not the American racer by the same name). But the theft was a huge blow to Team Type 1 in its first year as Pro Continental team.
"The hardest thing is that we were just getting over the hump in establishing our service course here," said Stone. The team had ferried over roughly 20 pieces of luggage on every trip to Europe so far this season to stock the service course, and now, most of that gear is gone."
It's a huge effort to establish racing hubs on two continents, and Team Type 1 had finally gotten its European service course running when the theft knocked them back.
"To lose that and go back to ground zero is probably the most disappointing part," said Stone.
The theft set off a mad scramble to get the team racing again, a task barely accomplished in time for today's Route Adelie de Vitre in France, to be followed next week with one of its biggest races of the season so far: Circuit de la Sarthe.
The top priority was replacing the lost bikes. "We were lucky that we had spare bikes locked in the warehouse back in Belgium, so we turned those into the race bikes," said Stone.
Riders' training bikes now become spares while they wait for replacement Colnagos to arrive. The wheels the team did have at its Belgian HQ were glued with fatter tires for cobbles, which had to be removed and reglued with conventional tubulars.
But logistics were also a major factor. The thieves damaged a team car, the truck, and the team bus, so an ad hoc fleet of vehicles was pressed into service to get bikes and riders to France.
Long days (14 hours) have been the norm. Stone says he drove 1,500km (over 900 miles) one day taking riders from Italy to Paris. "I was assembling bikes at the airport for riders to take with them on their flights because we didn't have room in the car."
Compounding the problem was the tool theft. Team Type 1′s three mechanics have been working with one floor pump, a workstand and a single makeshift toolset that Stone has built with successive hardware store runs. "Often I don't find out what tools are still missing until I need it," he points out.
Even cutting out the damage to the team vehicles and the man-hours needed to get the team back up to speed, the material loss alone was devastating, and thorough. Each wheel had a cassette on it, for example, so the team needs roughly 75 new cassettes in a variety of different gear combinations.
And the thieves were so detailed they even stole the matching quick releases from the wheel racks in the trucks. Stone said he believes that it was a professional operation and may have links to past team thefts.
In the U.S., thefts are usually one-off crimes of opportunity, like when Lance Armstrong's custom-painted time trial bike was stolen at the 2009 Tour of California and later recovered.
In Europe, by contrast, thefts are targeted and professional and, for whatever reason, occur most frequently in Italy. Barloworld lost 21 bikes during an Italian team camp in 2007, and in 2008 the Silence-Lotto team was also forced to pull out of a smaller Italian stage race after a theft very similar in style to that which hit Team Type 1.
So far, said Baldwin, Italian police have not communicated any advances in the investigation with respect to leads. The team is essentially treating the bikes as gone, and has started the long insurance-claim process.
In the meantime, sponsors have filled in. Shimano, which supplies the team with not only groups but also cockpits and wheels through its PRO line of components, rapidly shipped the team enough replacement parts to get going. And Colnago has expedited a frame order to the team's Atlanta HQ to get the team set for its major push at May's Tour of California.
Some of the hardest losses can't be replaced, however. The team had taken almost all its riders to a wind tunnel in the off-season to fine-tune positions. Coppi e Bartoli was the first race where they'd gotten to race-test those improvements, but the team had not yet recorded all the new measurements for templating. "We have a basic idea, but not the hard numbers" on positions, said Stone.
Despite all that, Stone hopes the theft will become a catalyst for success this year. "You want to have (a bonding moment) some other way, but I think this will help the team and unify us. We race so globally – on three, even four continents – that the only thing you can do is look at this as something that will hopefully bring us together."
If nothing else, the theft hasn't damaged the team's spirit. At Route Adelie today, Javier Megias, Jure Kocjan, Alexander Efimkin and Bodrogi all played aggressive roles before Bretagne Schuller's Renaud Dion took the win.
You can follow Team Type 1′s recovery from the theft on its Facebook page, and the team's results on its website.

School on Saturday JL.
Sadly the days are gone when cyclists would never buy anything even hinting at being stolen goods. The thinking was you would just be encouraging the thieves to come after YOUR stuff next. But with road cycling being the "new golf" and all there's a market for stolen bikes, tools and equipment as well as for fake Pinarello's, etc. I thought most teams nowadays either kept their race bikes in the hotel OR had a guy sleeping in the truck/bus, or both.

3.96/5 rDev +8.5%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Poured from a bottle; into a tumbler.
Appearance - gold, cloudy; thin, foamy head that leaves decent lacing.
Smell - pineapple and mango, faint juicy fruit.
Taste - not bad, but falls short of the nose, lacking with a strong pineapple and mango presence. A bit too boozy after it sits.
Feel - this goes from an enjoyable, drinkable IPA, to a weird after taste, funky IPA.
Overall - I'm in and out on this one...which means I'm out. Too funky when it's all said and done.

3.43/5 rDev -6%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Appearance is dark gold with a white head leaving nice lace.
Smell is a little caramel and citrus, didn't open up much.
Taste is earthy and stemmy hops, big bitterness. Some pine. A little nectarine peaks through the alpha acids, the sweetness a bit more prominent after my palate adjusts to the IBUs. Got some nice fresh hop resins as it warmed.
Mouthfeel is very oily, dry, medium bodied.
Drinkability is pretty good, a fiercely bitter IPA. I prefer more hop flavors though.

Love the sweetness in this beer, peach, pineapple is a strong force in this beer. The smell is sweet. Not very piney, very sweet. Better than expected.
Appearance: a light, clear amber-gold colour with a thin, frothy head. Minimal retention and lacing.
Aroma: definite citrus and pine on the nose.
Just good a good IPA

A - Pours a light golden colour with a large white head that dissipates a little.
S - Massive citrus including sweet pineapple, lemon, grapefruit. Very sweet.
T - The sweetness aromas seem to disappear and I get more of a mild bitterness, some grapefruit and lemon at the finish.
M - A little over carbonated although light to medium bodied
O - Actually don't mind it but lacks a little in full flavour for an IPA. Aromas upfront though are impressive.

330ml brown bottle purchased with two other Karl Strauss beers from Dan Murphy's in Alexandria.
Pours a pleasant light golden colour with a firm and persistent, almost creamy head of vanilla white. Lacing is specked intricately and all about the place. Body is relatively, light, but holds a very nice fine carbonation. Overall, it looks good.
Nose is brash, sharp and direct from the outset: big clean lemon-citrus hops with a leafy undertone to give some breadth. Some sweet sherbet characters give some juicy tones, while there's a slightly flat malt tone that seems to be there only because it was forced to come along by its parents. But no matter, the hops are the life of this beer and they're lively and exciting.
The taste, however, reins in a lot of these big exciting hop characters. Mild entry with a slight peppery bite, before some fleshy malt provides a structure that nothing really seems to want to fill. Wavering to fleeting hop bitterness has a somewhat English flavour to it: some earthy, herbal notes and a tannic flavour. Finish is quite empty and a little flat. It's fine, but it needs more oomph, especially after the nose was so pungent.
Feel is smooth, but is hampered by the lack of really exciting flavour. It doesn't really have anything to do here.
But, overall, this is actually good stuff. If nothing else, I can just breath in the heady aromas. And if the palate is a little flat: well, that just may just make it more approachable, and something I'd be happy to drink more often.

Appearance: a light, clear amber-gold colour with a thin, frothy head. Minimal retention and lacing.
Aroma: definite citrus and pine on the nose. Quite bitter hops - fairly mild aroma for n AIPA though.
Taste: at first I was a bit turned off due to the extremely bitter hops. The more I got into it, however, the better it was. A good blend of light malt, spices and that fair whack of hop bitterness. Not really a discernible flavour, but just bitter - standard AIPA stuff.
Aftertaste: the bitterness drops quite a bit, and is accompanied by a lovely caramel malt flavour.
Mouth feel: when I started drinking, I hadn't let the beer warm enough (it was approx 5 degrees), so it appeared there was to much carbonation. When it got to the correct temperature of approx 10 degrees, the body is light to moderate, and the carbonation is just enough to carry the flavour through.
Overall: this is a pretty good American IPA - plenty of flavour to go with the bittering hops - for a reasonable price of AU$60 a case (2013). After Red Trolley and Pintail Pale, I didn't think Karl Strauss would get one done - but this one does.

Acquired as an extra in a trade, thanks WestCoastBrew2 for a great trade. This was poured into a 12oz Hop Leaf Tulip. Looks to be about 2 months fresh.
Appearance: Clear amber, 2 finger white head with moderate retention and lacing.
Smell: Fruity! Exploding with mango, pineapple, strawberry, orange, and grapefruit. Some pine as well.
Taste: Huge letdown after that nose! No fruity or piney hops at all. Pretty stale-tasting actually. No real hop flavor, some bitterness on the end, moderately malty. No alcohol taste present.
Mouthfeel: A bit over-carbonated. Otherwise average body with mildly dry finish.
Overall: If I was the brewer, I would pat myself on the back for the hop profile added late in the brew contributing to that nose. However, it's just a let-down on the taste. Needs some work, but could be a good IPA if the hop recipe was adjusted.

Decent beer from Karl Strauss. Light amber color with a thin head. Aroma of malt and citra hops. Sweet malt with a hop aftertaste of citrus and grass. Pretty balanced for an IPA although didn't quite have the kick like some other SD IPA's. Still a good beer I'd get again.

Growler into a pint glass, the Tower 10 pours a clear amberish golden. Carbonation is a bit light but one never knows with a growler really. Does develop a cap and drop off some scattered lacing. Offers nice clarity.
Touch of subtle caramel on the nose along with a nice hop presence. Lightly piney and with some background citrus. Not too earthy and more like a thin tangerine at times and a bit spicy through the foam when first poured.
Favor is a bit thin relative to the aroma with pale malts and just a hint of spice on the back. Offers a decent carbonation yet there is a lack of supportive bitterness on the close. Offers a nice hoppy aroma initially, getting subdued with time. Touch of citric bitterness on the close is brief and lacks any malt depth. Average to perhaps a slightly thin feel. A smooth and hoppy pale ale for my palette, well done yet cautious....But then this is a beer for the masses, and not for the die hard IPA seeker..

A - A mixture between honey and amber in color. Decent, white one finger head that actually took a while to settle down leaving some legs on the glass.
S - Very floral, and kind of a tropical sweetness to it. Doesn't smell like a hop blast as there are a good amount of malts lingering around.
T - Pretty bitter without having much flavor in the way of hops. Surprised the hops aren't as fruity/sweet as the beer smells. Lots of malts on the back end, almost finishes like a pilsner. After taste lingers around for a while, which isn't that great.
M - Medium bodied with an impressive amount of carbonation. I actually wish more breweries would have this much carbonation in their IPA's.
O - Just an ok beer. For an IPA the price is right, but could really benefit from adding a little citrus or pine into the mix.

Pours a murky orange with a foamy orange-tan head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Foamy rings of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus fruit, citrus zest, and alcohol. Taste is much the same with a slight herbal hop finish. There is a mild hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is easy to drink and pretty tasty.

Appearance - Pours a clear, bright golden orange with a good finger width head, good retention and a resulting thin, sticky lace.
Smell - Aromas are sweet bready malt and with some citric hoppiness.
Taste - Starts with a thick, bready malt character, then a citrus hop kicks in swiftly. The finish is clean and quick, with a hint of caramel in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied, with a smooth mouthfeel. Average carbonation. Goes down easy.
Overall - This is a pretty good IPA. Nothing mind blowing, but nothing to turn one's nose at, all the same. No off-putting characteristics, and it's certainly not an aggressive IPA, but it's got a nice balance; a classic IPA lost in the current hop bomb world.

Pours amber with a lasting head.
Nose shows fruity and floral hops. Orange blossom, peach, apricot all show, along with a fruity confectionery note.
Similar flavours: sweet, confectionery-like fruit, sweet clean malt and a bite of alcohol amongst the assertive bitterness in the finish.
Carbonation seems excessive.

The beer is clear golden orange with good lacing from a huge fluffy light tan head which dissipates slowly.
Smells is a bit light, but has some floral, bitter and citrus aromas.
Taste is a balance of malts and hops, with a light bitter throughout, and a light citrus sweet finish.
Feels very smooth and very drinkable.
A fine good balanced beer, but it's not quite what I am looking for in an IPA. Tastes more like an APA, especially with the lower abv and smoothness.

Poured from bottle to pint glass. Looks like liquid amber. Decent head that sticks to the glass. Smells very strongly of citrus, with pine coming right up behind. Tasty hops up front, pine undertones, and just enough malt to balence it out. The citrus and pine come into play again on the aftertaste. Malt becomes slightly more prominent as the beer warms, but not overly so. No boozey taste, for its 7.0 abv, but a pleasant warmth, and great buzz. This being my first IPA, i have nothing to compare it to, but a solid beer. About $7 or $8 for a sixer, so well worth the money. Overall, a pretty good beer. If you see it, get it.

Karl Strauss Tower 10 IPA (tap)
Clear pale yellow with thin head and no retention. Light citrus aroma. Bright citrusy taste with moderate hoppy linger and a medicinal aftertaste. Very thin feel and a light bite.
Nice bright citrus flavor but that's all that's going on. No feel, no malt and a poor linger and aftertaste make this an avoidable beer.

Notes taken 05/30/12
*22oz bomber into a FW pint glass
A: Tower 10 pours a glowing yellowish straw color with a perfect fat finger width of foamed ivory. Tiny streaming bubbles. Nice retention leaves some clingy stained glass lace.
S: The aroma opens with pine, dank hops, and some sweetened pale malts towards the background. Akin to a bit of honey slathered bread. A dash of flower and spice mixed in as well.
T: Flavors are big and resinous pine with more of a citrus blend than detected in the nose. Good hop intensity. Has a definite kick of herbal spice. Sugary malt cracker presence. Grapefruit comes through with a touch of bitter melon. Alcohol just barely noticeable at 7%ABV. An overall nice IPA. Sticky and resinous.
M: Medium in stature. Some nice creaminess provided by even carbonation. Crisp and dry in the finish. Lingering hop resins.
D: A nice take on the West Coast IPA with a good classic mix of pine and citrus from American hop varietals and just enough malt character to bridge a gap here. A welcomed offering at many of the local venues like Petco Park, the Airport, the Fair, etc.

Tower 10, let's hope it's a 10 out of 10. Bad joke aside I'm always keen to taste what our American brethren produce; they may have a crappy health care system, screwed up gun laws, and overall lack any form of tact when it comes to international diplomatic situations, but the USA does one thing well: craft beer. And with that my taste buds stand to boldly taste where no bud has tasted before [cue Tongue Trek theme].
Poured from a 355ml bottle into a nonic pint.
A: Nice and heady. The 2cm dense white head on this brew towers over the hazy bottle-conditioned burnt orange body like the aforementioned tower... *ticks box*
S: Citrus, pine and toasted malt, it has them in spades. There is also a nice sharp acidity to the aroma.
T: Quite ordinary here. Toasted malt base with bitter pine hops, bitter citric hops followed by the bitterness of an orange rind... Oh and did I mention it was bitter? Yes? OK it's bitter, not mouth-smashingly-tastebud-crashingly bitter but bitter enough to be noticed, which in itself is alright but it's missing more flavours, something else, stone-fruits or herbaceous tang would have been great additions, as it stands its a half beer in flavourland.
M: Here is where Tower 10 shines: a mid to heavy resinous body with some tight packed carbonation, nice.
D: I would easily smash a session on this if it was more flavour complex. That is it. Not much else to say. Otherwise a good drop.
Food match: Anti-bitter is my first suggestion... wait, I'm just being told that anti-bitter hasn't been invented yet. Right, something else, dessert would be a best bet (if you're drinking this you would likely be at the dessert phase of the meal anyway), caramelised pears with a fennel jus and crème Chantilly.

Big whitish head, slowly dies above a copper golden colored IPA leaving a pretty nice lacing throughout the drinking of 12 ounces of this.
Welcoming fresh pine, grass, and citrus hops blended aroma, a very nice scent to this IPA.
Citrus hops, light oranges and slight lemon, and some mountain pine to the taste, that doesn't quite live up to the west coast hops taste I was expecting, but is a decent beer in and of itself.
A medium bodied beer that finishes with little bitter hops aftertaste.
A very nice aroma kinda lost on a medium taste, more of an IPA that I experienced in North Carolina and not what I love about drinking IPA's in Portland.

I've so glad I see Tevez in almost every single post here! I love Tevez! And Happy to see that he is doing well!
If Tevez doesn't miss the last 2 months of the season due to injury, he wins at least one player of the year award (PFA Players' Player of the Year, PFA Fans' Player of the Year, or FWA Footballer of the Year) in my opinion. Had a fantastic season.
Wow, brilliant from Tevez! He really needs to stay at City for the benefit of both parties- he plays regularly and consistently well there where the team is largely built around him and Man city definately need him as one of their most important players. I think it would be a mistake to leave a team who have just qualified for the champions league for the first (?) time and are starting to look exciting.

Cardiac muscle
Cardiac muscle | |
Cardiac muscle | |
Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in the heart | |
Latin | Textus muscularis striatus cardiacus |
Code | TH H2.00.05.2.02001 |
Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is a type of involuntary striated muscle found in the walls and histological foundation of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. These three types of muscle all form in a process known as myogenesis. The cells that constitute cardiac muscle, called cardiomyocytes or myocardiocytes, contain only one, unique nucleus.[1][2] Coordinated contractions of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood out of the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the left/body/systemic and right/lungs/pulmonary circulatory systems. This complex of actions makes up the systole of the heart.
Cardiac muscle cells, like all tissues in the body, rely on an ample blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries fulfill this function.
Cardiac muscle exhibits cross striations formed by alternating segments of thick and thin protein filaments. Like skeletal muscle, the primary structural proteins of cardiac muscle are actin and myosin. The actin filaments are thin, causing the lighter appearance of the I bands in striated muscle, whereas the myosin filament is thicker, lending a darker appearance to the alternating A bands as observed with electron microscopy. However, in contrast to skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle cells may be branched instead of linear and longitudinal.
Another histological difference between cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle is that the T-tubules in the cardiac muscle are larger and broader and run along the Z-discs. There are fewer T-tubules in comparison with skeletal muscle. Also, cardiac muscle forms diads instead of the triads formed between the T-tubules and the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle. T-tubules play critical role in excitation-contraction coupling (ECC). Recently, the action potentials of T-tubules were recorded optically by Guixue Bu et al.[3]
Intercalated discs[edit]
Intercalated discs (IDs) are complex adhering structures that connect single cardiac myocytes to an electrochemical syncytium (in contrast to the skeletal muscle, which becomes a multicellular syncytium during mammalian embryonic development) and are responsible mainly for force transmission during muscle contraction. Intercalated discs also support the rapid spread of action potentials and the synchronized contraction of the myocardium. IDs are described to consist of three different types of cell-cell junctions: the actin filament anchoring adherens junctions (fascia adherens), the intermediate filament anchoring desmosomes (macula adherens), and gap junctions. Gap junctions are responsible for electrochemical and metabolic coupling. They allow action potentials to spread between cardiac cells by permitting the passage of ions between cells, producing depolarization of the heart muscle. However, novel molecular biological and comprehensive studies unequivocally showed that IDs consist for the most part of mixed-type adhering junctions named area composita (pl. areae compositae) representing an amalgamation of typical desmosomal and fascia adhaerens proteins (in contrast to various epithelia).[4][5][6] The authors discuss the high importance of these findings for the understanding of inherited cardiomyopathies (such as Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy, ARVC).
Under light microscopy, intercalated discs appear as thin, typically dark-staining lines dividing adjacent cardiac muscle cells. The intercalated discs run perpendicular to the direction of muscle fibers. Under electron microscopy, an intercalated disc's path appears more complex. At low magnification, this may appear as a convoluted electron dense structure overlying the location of the obscured Z-line. At high magnification, the intercalated disc's path appears even more convoluted, with both longitudinal and transverse areas appearing in longitudinal section.[7]
In contrast to skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle requires extracellular calcium ions for contraction to occur. Like skeletal muscle, the initiation and upshoot of the action potential in ventricular muscle cells is derived from the entry of sodium ions across the sarcolemma in a regenerative process. However, an inward flux of extracellular calcium ions through L-type calcium channels sustains the depolarization of cardiac muscle cells for a longer duration. The reason for the calcium dependence is due to the mechanism of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum that must occur under normal excitation-contraction (EC) coupling to cause contraction. Once the intracellular concentration of calcium increases, calcium ions bind to the protein troponin, which initiate extracellular fluid and intracellular stores, and skeletal muscle, which is only activated by calcium stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Regeneration of heart muscle cells[edit]
Until recently, it was commonly believed that cardiac muscle cells could not be regenerated. However, a study reported in the April 3, 2009 issue of Science contradicts that belief.[8] Olaf Bergmann and his colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm tested samples of heart muscle from people born before 1955 had very little cardiac muscle around their heart, many showing with disabilities from this abnormality. By using DNA samples from many hearts, the researchers estimated that a 20-year-old renews about 1% of heart muscle cells per year, and about 45 percent of the heart muscle cells of a 50-year-old were generated after he or she was born.
One way that cardiomyocyte regeneration occurs is through the division of pre-existing cardiomyocytes during the normal ageing process.[9] The division process of pre-existing cardiomyocytes has also been shown to increase in areas adjacent to sites of myocardial injury. In addition, certain growth factors promote the self-renewal of endogenous cardiomyocytes and cardiac stem cells. For example, insulin-like growth factor 1, hepatocyte growth factor, and high-mobility group protein B1 increase cardiac stem cell migration to the affected area, as well as the proliferation and survival of these cells.[10] Some members of the fibroblast growth factor family also induce cell-cycle re-entry of small cardiomyocytes. Vascular endothelial growth factor also plays an important role in the recruitment of native cardiac cells to an infarct site in addition to its angiogenic effect.
Based on the natural role of stem cells in cardiomyocyte regeneration, researchers and clinicians are increasingly interested in using these cells to induce regeneration of damaged tissue. Various stem cell lineages have been shown to be able to differentiate into cardiomyocytes, including bone marrow stem cells. For example, in one study, researchers transplanted bone marrow cells, which included a population of stem cells, adjacent to an infarct site in a mouse model. Nine days after surgery, the researchers found a new band of regenerating myocardium.[11] However, this regeneration was not observed when the injected population of cells was devoid of stem cells, which strongly suggests that it was the stem cell population that contributed to the myocardium regeneration. Other clinical trials have shown that autologous bone marrow cell transplants delivered via the infarct-related artery decreases the infarct area compared to patients not given the cell therapy.[12]
