Cam Maron – Mets Future Backstop? Welcome back for part two in the MMO series where we bring you the depth charts for each position in the Mets minor league system. We started off last week with the First-basemen, and continue the series this week with the five best Catchers in the Mets organization. It has been well documented that the Mets are thin in catching throughout the organization, but is there anyone already here that might be about to erupt onto the prospect scene? Or perhaps a player or two who are quietly putting together a solid start to their minor league careers? Or the one nobody is talking about? Keep reading to find out. 1. Cam Maron The number one catching prospect in the Mets system is arguably the left-handed hitting back-stop, Cam Maron from Hicksville, NY. Maron was initially drafted by the Mets in the 34th round of the 2209 MLB first year player draft out of Hicksville High School. At first Maron was extremely raw behind the plate, but has worked very dilige...

A 1Password-compatible password manager
passcards is a web, browser extension and command-line based password manager under development.
It uses the 1Password password vault format and is designed to be usable alongside the official 1Password apps.
The passcards apps are designed for use with Dropbox. To use them with an existing 1Password vault, you'll need to enable Dropbox syncing within the official 1Password apps.
passcards is available as a browser add-on for Firefox and Chrome, a web app and a command-line app.
See the passcards site for links to current releases.
The initial stable release of Passcards will target current stable releases of the major desktop and mobile browsers:
Support for older browsers may be possible in future.
Local development requires Node.js 0.10 and make. To build the CLI and web clients, clone the source and run
git clone https://github.com/robertknight/passcardsmake all
The web client is a single page application. The Dropbox client keys in the source are configured to allow
the app to be served from http://localhost:8000/webui/index.html . You can set up a server for this locally
by running, from the root of a source checkout,
python -m SimpleHTTPServer.
If you want to host the web app from a different location you will need to register your own Dropbox API keys from the Dropbox App Console. When registering a new app, you currently need to give it full Dropbox access permissions (though this requirement could easily be dropped if necessary) and enable the 'implicit' authorization flow.
The Firefox extension is built using the add-on SDK. A version of the SDK which produces addons compatible with Firefox 30 or later is included as a git submodule.
The Chrome extension is tested against Chrome 36 or later, though earlier versions should work.

Dedifferentiation of fully mature tissues is generally absent in mammalian cells. Previous studies have shown that mouse C2C12 multinucleated myotubes treated with extract derived from regenerating newt forelimbs can re-enter the cell cycle, fragment into mononucleated cells, and proliferate. However, this response has been difficult to replicate. Methods: We isolated extract from early newt forelimb regenerates and assessed its effects on differentiation of proliferating primary and C2C12 myoblasts. We also treated fully differentiated primary and C2C12 myotube cultures with extract and assessed cell cycle re-entry and myotube fragmentation. Results: We have confirmed the results obtained in C2C12 cells and expanded these studies to also examine the effects of newt regeneration extracts on primary muscle cells. Newt extract can block differentiation of both C2C12 and primary myoblasts. Once differentiation is induced, treatment with newt extract causes cell cycle re-entry and fragmentation of C2C12 myotubes. Downregulation of p21 and muscle-specific markers is also induced. Primary myotubes also fragment in response to extract treatment, and the fragmented cells remain viable for long periods of time in culture. However, unlike C2C12 cells, primary muscle cells do not re-enter the cell cycle in response to treatment with newt extracts. Conclusions: Dedifferentiation of fully mature muscle occurs during regeneration in the newt forelimb to contribute cells to the regeneration process. Our study shows that extracts derived from regenerating newt forelimbs can induce dedifferentiation, cell cycle re-entry, and fragmentation of mouse C2C12 cells but can only induce fragmentation in primary muscle cells. http://www.skeletalmusclejournal.com/content/5/1/19 Sarah Kawesa Jason Vanstone Catherine Tsilfidis Skeletal Muscle 2015, null:19 2015-06-11T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13395-015-0044-8 /content/figures/s13395-015-0044-8-toc.gif Skeletal Muscle 2044-5040 ${item.volume} 19 2015-06-11T12:00:00Z XML Akt-mediated phosphorylation controls the activity of the Y-box protein MSY3 in skeletal muscle Background: The Y-box protein MSY3/Csda represses myogenin transcription in skeletal muscle by binding a highly conserved cis-acting DNA element located just upstream of the myogenin minimal promoter (myogHCE). It is not known how this MSY3 activity is controlled in skeletal muscle. In this study, we provide multiple lines of evidence showing that the -translation phosphorylation of MSY3 by Akt kinase modulates the MSY3 repression of myogenin. Methods: Skeletal muscle and myogenic C2C12 cells were used to study the effects of MSY3 phosphorylation in vivo and in vitro on its sub-cellular localization and activity, by blocking the IGF1/PI3K/Akt pathway, by Akt depletion and over-expression, and by mutating potential MSY3 phosphorylation sites. Results: We observed that, as skeletal muscle progressed from perinatal to postnatal and adult developmental stages, MSY3 protein became gradually dephosphorylated and accumulated in the nucleus. This correlated well with the reduction of phosphorylated active Akt. In C2C12 myogenic cells, blocking the IGF1/PI3K/Akt pathway using LY294002 inhibitor reduced MSY3 phosphorylation levels resulting in its accumulation in the nuclei. Knocking down Akt expression increased the amount of dephosphorylated MSY3 and reduced myogenin expression and muscle differentiation. MSY3 phosphorylation by Akt in vitro impaired its binding at the MyogHCE element, while blocking Akt increased MSY3 binding activity. While Akt over-expression rescued myogenin expression in MSY3 overexpressing myogenic cells, ablation of the Akt substrate, (Ser126 located in the MSY3 cold shock domain) promoted MSY3 accumulation in the nucleus and abolished this rescue. Furthermore, forced expression of Akt in adult skeletal muscle induced MSY3 phosphorylation and myogenin de-repression. Conclusions: These results support the hypothesis that MSY3 phosphorylation by Akt interferes with MSY3 repression of myogenin circuit activity during muscle development. This study highlights a previously undescribed Akt-mediated signaling pathway involved in the repression of myogenin expression in myogenic cells and in mature muscle. Given the significance of myogenin regulation in adult muscle, the Akt/MSY3/myogenin regulatory circuit is a potential therapeutic target to counteract muscle degenerative disease. http://www.skeletalmusclejournal.com/content/5/1/18 Luciana De Angelis Sreeram Balasubramanian Libera Berghella Skeletal Muscle 2015, null:18 2015-05-29T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13395-015-0043-9 /content/figures/s13395-015-0043-9-toc.gif Skeletal Muscle 2044-5040 ${item.volume} 18 2015-05-29T12:00:00Z PDF The endogenous molecular clock orchestrates the temporal separation of substrate metabolism in skeletal muscle Background: Skeletal muscle is a major contributor to whole-body metabolism as it serves as a depot for both glucose and amino acids, and is a highly metabolically active tissue. Within skeletal muscle exists an intrinsic molecular clock mechanism that regulates the timing of physiological processes. A key function of the clock is to regulate the timing of metabolic processes to anticipate time of day changes in environmental conditions. The purpose of this study was to identify metabolic genes that are expressed in a circadian manner and determine if these genes are regulated downstream of the intrinsic molecular clock by assaying gene expression in an inducible skeletal muscle-specific Bmal1 knockout mouse model (iMS-Bmal1 −/− ). Methods: We used circadian statistics to analyze a publicly available, high-resolution time-course skeletal muscle expression dataset. Gene ontology analysis was utilized to identify enriched biological processes in the skeletal muscle circadian transcriptome. We generated a tamoxifen-inducible skeletal muscle-specific Bmal1 knockout mouse model and performed a time-course microarray experiment to identify gene expression changes downstream of the molecular clock. Wheel activity monitoring was used to assess circadian behavioral rhythms in iMS-Bmal1 −/− and control iMS-Bmal1 +/+ mice. Results: The skeletal muscle circadian transcriptome was highly enriched for metabolic processes. Acrophase analysis of circadian metabolic genes revealed a temporal separation of genes involved in substrate utilization and storage over a 24-h period. A number of circadian metabolic genes were differentially expressed in the skeletal muscle of the iMS-Bmal1 −/− mice. The iMS-Bmal1 −/− mice displayed circadian behavioral rhythms indistinguishable from iMS-Bmal1 +/+ mice. We also observed a gene signature indicative of a fast to slow fiber-type shift and a more oxidative skeletal muscle in the iMS-Bmal1 −/− model. Conclusions: These data provide evidence that the intrinsic molecular clock in skeletal muscle temporally regulates genes involved in the utilization and storage of substrates independent of circadian activity. Disruption of this mechanism caused by phase shifts (that is, social jetlag) or night eating may ultimately diminish skeletal muscle's ability to efficiently maintain metabolic homeostasis over a 24-h period. http://www.skeletalmusclejournal.com/content/5/1/17 Brian Hodge Yuan Wen Lance Riley Xiping Zhang Jonathan England Brianna Harfmann Elizabeth Schroder Karyn Esser Skeletal Muscle 2015, null:17 2015-05-16T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13395-015-0039-5 /content/figures/s13395-015-0039-5-toc.gif Skeletal Muscle 2044-5040 ${item.volume} 17 2015-05-16T12:00:00Z XML Muscular dystrophy in the <it>mdx</it> mouse is a severe myopathy compounded by hypotrophy, hypertrophy and hyperplasia Background: Preclinical testing of potential therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is conducted predominantly of the mdx mouse. But lack of a detailed quantitative description of the pathology of this animal limits our ability to evaluate the effectiveness of putative therapies or their relevance to DMD. Methods: Accordingly, we have measured the main cellular components of muscle growth and regeneration over the period of postnatal growth and early pathology in mdx and wild-type (WT) mice; phalloidin binding is used as a measure of fibre size, myonuclear counts and BrdU labelling as records of myogenic activity. Results: We confirm a two-phase postnatal growth pattern in WT muscle: first, increase in myonuclear number over weeks 1 to 3, then expansion of myonuclear domain. Mdx muscle growth lags behind that of WT prior to overt signs of pathology. Fibres are smaller, with fewer myonuclei and smaller myonuclear domains. Moreover, satellite cells are more readily detached from mdx than WT muscle fibres. At 3 weeks, mdx muscles enter a phase of florid myonecrosis, accompanied by concurrent regeneration of an intensity that results in complete replacement of pre-existing muscle over the succeeding 3 to 4 weeks.Both WT and mdx muscles attain maximum size by 12 to 14 weeks, mdx muscle fibres being up to 50% larger than those of WT as they become increasingly branched. Mdx muscle fibres also become hypernucleated, containing twice as many myonuclei per sarcoplasmic volume, as those of WT, the excess corresponding to the number of centrally placed myonuclei. Conclusions: The best-known consequence of lack of dystrophin that is common to DMD and the mdx mouse is the conspicuous necrosis and regeneration of muscle fibres. We present protocols for measuring this in terms both of loss of muscle nuclei previously labelled with BrdU and of the intensity of myonuclear labelling with BrdU administered during the regeneration period. Both measurements can be used to assess the efficacy of putative antinecrotic agents. We also show that lack of dystrophin is associated with a number of previously unsuspected abnormalities of muscle fibre structure and function that do not appear to be directly associated with myonecrosis. http://www.skeletalmusclejournal.com/content/5/1/16 William Duddy Stephanie Duguez Helen Johnston Tatiana Cohen Aditi Phadke Heather Gordish-Dressman Kanneboyina Nagaraju Viola Gnocchi SiewHui Low Terence Partridge Skeletal Muscle 2015, null:16 2015-05-01T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13395-015-0041-y /content/figures/s13395-015-0041-y-toc.gif Skeletal Muscle 2044-5040 ${item.volume} 16 2015-05-01T00:00:00Z XML A reporter mouse for optical imaging of inflammation in <it>mdx</it> muscles Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is due to mutations in the gene coding for human DMD; DMD is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration, inflammation, fat accumulation, and fibrosis. The mdx mouse model of DMD lacks dystrophin protein and undergoes a predictable disease course. While this model has been a valuable resource for pre-clinical studies aiming to test therapeutic compounds, its utility is compromised by a lack of reliable biochemical tools to quantifiably assay muscle disease. Additionally, there are few non-invasive assays available to researchers for measuring early indicators of disease progression in mdx mice. Methods: Mdx mice were crossed to knock-in mice expressing luciferase from the Cox2 promoter. These reporter mice (Cox2 FLuc/+ DMD −/− ) were created to serve as a tool for researchers to evaluate muscle inflammation. Luciferase expression was assayed by immunohistochemistry to insure that it correlated with muscle lesions. The luciferase signal was quantified by optical imaging and luciferase assays to verify that the signal correlated with muscle damage. As proof of principle, Cox2 FLuc/+ DMD −/− mice were also treated with prednisolone to validate that a reduction in luciferase signal correlated with prednisone treatment. Results: In this investigation, a novel reporter mouse (Cox2 FLuc/+ DMD −/− mice) was created and validated for non-invasive quantification of muscle inflammation in vivo. In this dystrophic mouse, luciferase is expressed from cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox2) expressing cells and bioluminescence is detected by optical imaging. Bioluminescence is significantly enhanced in damaged muscle of exercised Cox2 FLuc/+ DMD −/− mice compared to non-exercised Cox2 FLuc/+ DMD +/+ mice. Moreover, the Cox2 bioluminescent signal is reduced in Cox2 FLuc/+ DMD −/− mice in response to a course of steroid treatment. Reduction in bioluminescence is detectable prior to measurable therapy-elicited improvements in muscle strength, as assessed by traditional means. Biochemical assay of luciferase provides a second means to quantify muscle inflammation. Conclusions: The Cox2 FLuc/+ DMD −/− mouse is a novel tool to evaluate the therapeutic benefits of drugs intended to target inflammatory aspects of dystrophic pathology. This mouse model will be a useful adjunct to traditional outcome measures in assessing potential therapeutic compounds. http://www.skeletalmusclejournal.com/content/5/1/15 Leonel Martinez Natalia Ermolova Tomo-O Ishikawa David Stout Harvey Herschman Melissa Spencer Skeletal Muscle 2015, null:15 2015-04-30T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13395-015-0042-x /content/figures/s13395-015-0042-x-toc.gif Skeletal Muscle 2044-5040 ${item.volume} 15 2015-04-30T12:00:00Z XML Wnt/β-catenin controls follistatin signalling to regulate satellite cell myogenic potential Background: Adult skeletal muscle regeneration is a highly orchestrated process involving the activation and proliferation of satellite cells, an adult skeletal muscle stem cell. Activated satellite cells generate a transient amplifying progenitor pool of myoblasts that commit to differentiation and fuse into multinucleated myotubes. During regeneration, canonical Wnt signalling is activated and has been implicated in regulating myogenic lineage progression and terminal differentiation. Methods: Here, we have undertaken a gene expression analysis of committed satellite cell-derived myoblasts to examine their ability to respond to canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling. Results: We found that activation of canonical Wnt signalling induces follistatin expression in myoblasts and promotes myoblast fusion in a follistatin-dependent manner. In growth conditions, canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling prime myoblasts for myogenic differentiation by stimulating myogenin and follistatin expression. We further found that myogenin binds elements in the follistatin promoter and thus acts downstream of myogenin during differentiation. Finally, ectopic activation of canonical Wnt signalling in vivo promoted premature differentiation during muscle regeneration following acute injury. Conclusions: Together, these data reveal a novel mechanism by which myogenin mediates the canonical Wnt/β-catenin-dependent activation of follistatin and induction of the myogenic differentiation process. http://www.skeletalmusclejournal.com/content/5/1/14 Andrew Jones Feodor Price Fabien Le Grand Vahab Soleimani Sarah Dick Lynn Megeney Michael Rudnicki Skeletal Muscle 2015, null:14 2015-04-28T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13395-015-0038-6 /content/figures/s13395-015-0038-6-toc.gif Skeletal Muscle 2044-5040 ${item.volume} 14 2015-04-28T12:00:00Z XML <it>In vitro</it> stability of therapeutically relevant, internally truncated dystrophins Background: The X-linked recessive disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the protein dystrophin. Despite its large size, dystrophin is a highly stable protein, demonstrating cooperative unfolding during thermal denaturation as monitored by circular dichroism spectroscopy. In contrast, internal sequence deletions have been associated with a loss of the cooperative unfolding and cause in vitro protein aggregation. Several emerging therapy options for DMD utilize internally deleted micro-dystrophins and multi-exon-skipped dystrophins that produce partially functional proteins, but the stability of such internally truncated proteins has not been investigated. Methods: In this study, we analyzed the in vitro stability of human dystrophin constructs skipped around exon 45 or exon 51, several dystrophin gene therapy constructs, as well as human full-length and micro-utrophin. Constructs were expressed in insect cells using the baculovirus system, purified by affinity chromatography, and analyzed by high-speed sedimentation, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and differential scanning fluorimetry. Results: Our results reveal that not all gene therapy constructs display stabilities consistent with full-length human dystrophin. However, all dystrophins skipped in-frame around exon 45 or exon 51 show stability profiles congruent with intact human dystrophin. Similar to previous studies of mouse proteins, full-length human utrophin also displays stability similar to human dystrophin and does not appear to be affected by a large internal deletion. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the in vitro stability of human dystrophin is less sensitive to smaller deletions at natural exon boundaries than larger, more complex deletions present in some gene therapy constructs. http://www.skeletalmusclejournal.com/content/5/1/13 Jackie McCourt Katrina Rhett Michele Jaeger Joseph Belanto Dana Talsness James Ervasti Skeletal Muscle 2015, null:13 2015-04-28T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13395-015-0040-z /content/figures/s13395-015-0040-z-toc.gif Skeletal Muscle 2044-5040 ${item.volume} 13 2015-04-28T12:00:00Z XML Effect of levosimendan on the contractility of muscle fibers from nemaline myopathy patients with mutations in the nebulin gene Background: Nemaline myopathy (NM), the most common non-dystrophic congenital myopathy, is characterized by generalized skeletal muscle weakness, often from birth. To date, no therapy exists that enhances the contractile strength of muscles of NM patients. Mutations in NEB, encoding the giant protein nebulin, are the most common cause of NM. The pathophysiology of muscle weakness in NM patients with NEB mutations (NEB-NM) includes a lower calcium-sensitivity of force generation. We propose that the lower calcium-sensitivity of force generation in NEB-NM offers a therapeutic target. Levosimendan is a calcium sensitizer that is approved for use in humans and has been developed to target cardiac muscle fibers. It exerts its effect through binding to slow skeletal/cardiac troponin C. As slow skeletal/cardiac troponin C is also the dominant troponin C isoform in slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibers, we hypothesized that levosimendan improves slow-twitch muscle fiber strength at submaximal levels of activation in patients with NEB-NM. Methods: To test whether levosimendan affects force production, permeabilized slow-twitch muscle fibers isolated from biopsies of NEB-NM patients and controls were exposed to levosimendan and the force response was measured. Results: No effect of levosimendan on muscle fiber force in NEB-NM and control skeletal muscle fibers was found, both at a submaximal calcium level using incremental levosimendan concentrations, and at incremental calcium concentrations in the presence of levosimendan. In contrast, levosimendan did significantly increase the calcium-sensitivity of force in human single cardiomyocytes. Protein analysis confirmed that the slow skeletal/cardiac troponin C isoform was present in the skeletal muscle fibers tested. Conclusions: These findings indicate that levosimendan does not improve the contractility in human skeletal muscle fibers, and do not provide rationale for using levosimendan as a therapeutic to restore muscle weakness in NEB-NM patients. We stress the importance of searching for compounds that improve the calcium-sensitivity of force generation of slow-twitch muscle fibers. Such compounds provide an appealing approach to restore muscle force in patients with NEB-NM, and also in patients with other neuromuscular disorders. http://www.skeletalmusclejournal.com/content/5/1/12 Josine de Winter Barbara Joureau Vasco Sequeira Nigel Clarke Jolanda van der Velden Ger Stienen Henk Granzier Alan Beggs Coen Ottenheijm Skeletal Muscle 2015, null:12 2015-04-28T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13395-015-0037-7 /content/figures/s13395-015-0037-7-toc.gif Skeletal Muscle 2044-5040 ${item.volume} 12 2015-04-28T12:00:00Z XML The effect of the muscle environment on the regenerative capacity of human skeletal muscle stem cells Background: Muscle stem cell transplantation is a possible treatment for muscular dystrophy. In addition to the intrinsic properties of the stem cells, the local and systemic environment plays an important role in determining the fate of the grafted cells. We therefore investigated the effect of modulating the host muscle environment in different ways (irradiation or cryoinjury or a combination of irradiation and cryoinjury) in two immunodeficient mouse strains (mdx nude and recombinase-activating gene (Rag)2-/γ chain-/C5-) on the regenerative capacity of two types of human skeletal muscle-derived stem cell (pericytes and CD133+ cells). Methods: Human skeletal muscle-derived pericytes or CD133+ cells were transplanted into muscles of either mdx nude or recombinase-activating gene (Rag)2-/γ chain-/C5- host mice. Host muscles were modulated prior to donor cell transplantation by either irradiation, or cryoinjury, or a combination of irradiation and cryoinjury. Muscles were analysed four weeks after transplantation, by staining transverse cryostat sections of grafted muscles with antibodies to human lamin A/C, human spectrin, laminin and Pax 7. The number of nuclei and muscle fibres of donor origin and the number of satellite cells of both host and donor origin were quantified. Results: Within both host strains transplanted intra-muscularly with both donor cell types, there were significantly more nuclei and muscle fibres of donor origin in host muscles that had been modulated by cryoinjury, or irradiation+cryoinjury, than by irradiation alone. Irradiation has no additive effects in further enhancing the transplantation efficiency than cryodamage. Donor pericytes did not give rise to satellite cells. However, using CD133+ cells as donor cells, there were significantly more nuclei, muscle fibres, as well as satellite cells of donor origin in Rag2-/γ chain-/C5- mice than mdx nude mice, when the muscles were injured by either cryodamage or irradiation+cryodamage. Conclusions: Rag2-/γ chain-/C5- mice are a better recipient mouse strain than mdx nude mice for human muscle stem cell transplantation. Cryodamage of host muscle is the most effective method to enhance the transplantation efficiency of human skeletal muscle stem cells. This study highlights the importance of modulating the muscle environment in preclinical studies to optimise the efficacy of transplanted stem cells. http://www.skeletalmusclejournal.com/content/5/1/11 Jinhong Meng Maximilien Bencze Rowan Asfahani Francesco Muntoni Jennifer Morgan Skeletal Muscle 2015, null:11 2015-04-28T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13395-015-0036-8 /content/figures/s13395-015-0036-8-toc.gif Skeletal Muscle 2044-5040 ${item.volume} 11 2015-04-28T12:00:00Z XML Oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and cores in muscle from calsequestrin-1 knockout mice Background: Mutations in the gene encoding ryanodine receptor type-1 (RYR1), the calcium ion (Ca 2+) release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of skeletal muscle, are linked to central core disease (CCD) and malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility. We recently reported that mice lacking the skeletal isoform of calsequestrin (CASQ1-null), the primary Ca 2+ buffer in the SR of skeletal muscle and a modulator of RYR1 activity, exhibit lethal heat- and anesthetic-induced hypermetabolic episodes that resemble MH events in humans. Methods: We compared ultrastructure, oxidative status, and contractile function in skeletal fibers of extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles in wild type (WT) and CASQ1-null mice at different ages (from 4 to 27 months) using structural, biochemical, and functional assays. Results: About 25% of fibers in EDL muscles from CASQ1-null mice of 14 to 27 months of age exhibited large areas of structural disarray (named core-like regions), which were rarely observed in muscle from age-matched WT mice. To determine early events that may lead to the formation of cores, we analyzed EDL muscles from adult mice: at 4 to 6 months of age, CASQ1-null mice (compared to WT) displayed significantly reduced grip strength (40 ± 1 vs. 86 ± 1 mN/gr) and exhibited an increase in the percentage of damaged mitochondria (15.1% vs. 2.6%) and a decrease in average cross-sectional fiber area (approximately 37%) in EDL fibers. Finally, oxidative stress was also significantly increased (25% reduction in ratio between reduced and oxidized glutathione, or GSH/GSSG, and 35% increase in production of mitochondrial superoxide flashes). Providing ad libitum access to N-acetylcysteine in the drinking water for 2 months normalized GSH/GSSG ratio, reduced mitochondrial damage (down to 8.9%), and improved grip strength (from 46 ± 3 to 59 ± 2 mN/gr) in CASQ1-null mice. Conclusions: Our findings: 1) demonstrate that ablation of CASQ1 leads to enhanced oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and the formation of structural cores in skeletal muscle; 2) provide new insights in the pathogenic mechanisms that lead to damage/disappearance of mitochondria in cores; and 3) suggest that antioxidants may provide some therapeutic benefit in reducing mitochondrial damage, limiting the development of cores, and improving muscle function. http://www.skeletalmusclejournal.com/content/5/1/10 Cecilia Paolini Marco Quarta Lan Wei-LaPierre Antonio Michelucci Alessandra Nori Carlo Reggiani Robert Dirksen Feliciano Protasi Skeletal Muscle 2015, null:10 2015-04-18T12:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13395-015-0035-9 /content/figures/s13395-015-0035-9-toc.gif Skeletal Muscle 2044-5040 ${item.volume} 10 2015-04-18T12:00:00Z XML

Arsenio Hall the late night show time forgot
With guests like Chris Tucker, Ice Cube and Magic Johnson, Arsenio Hall is gambling his present by doubling down on his past.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The world has changed, but Arsenio Hall has not.
In fact, for viewers old enough to recall his original program, which ran between 1989 and 1994, the return of The Arsenio Hall Show last week was oddly disorienting. It felt less like riding shotgun into a brave, new world and more like getting pulled through a crack in the space-time continuum.
We often say time is cruel because it never slows down. But on television, time is cruelest when it grinds to a halt, when it gets trapped in the quicksand of nostalgia. And so on Monday, not long after Hall pumped his fist in that familiar windmill style, something became clear: the man once hailed as the future of late night was gambling his present by doubling down on his past.
He interviewed Chris Tucker, the comedian still best known for Rush Hour, a film released in 1998. He talked to Ice Cube about N.W.A., the rap band created in 1987. He joked with Lisa Kudrow about the lack of black characters on Friends, a TV show that premiered in 1994 and ended 10 seasons later.
George Lopez did some standup, something he's been doing for a quarter-century. Magic Johnson, an NBA rookie in 1979, reminisced about his life. More than 35 years after their first magic trick, Penn and Teller performed another.
All of this raised a few questions: Was Arsenio Hall in a coma for the last 19 years? Did someone scoop out his brain and store it in a cryogenic chamber, stuffing it back into his skull seconds before the start of this reincarnated venture?
Does he even know it's 2013?
His first tour of duty was initially a success because the show felt like nothing else on late night in 1989. It crackled with a youthful sensibility and a shorthand blur of in-jokes and topical references. It exuded a nightclub vibe. In his multi-hued, baggy suits, helmeted by a crop of geometric hair and lit up by that toothy grin, Hall was the debonair emcee.
He was the bridge that could lead Middle America safely into urban terrain.
His guests were some of the biggest stars of the time, including Eddie Murphy, Paula Abdul, Madonna, Sylvester Stallone and Bill Cosby. But when flopped on a couch next to Hall, who worked with neither a desk nor cue cards, these stars were pulled into a lower orbit. We got to see a different side of them.
More important, we wanted to see a different side of them.
In recent weeks, a certain amount of revisionism has crept into the narrative. Hall walked away from the first show, he now says, to strike a greater life balance. The truth is, Paramount was ready to push him out by 1994.
Two years earlier, there was a tectonic shift in the late night landscape when Johnny Carson retired. David Letterman jumped to CBS after NBC, his long-time network, gave Carson's The Tonight Show to Jay Leno.
In that war between Leno and Letterman, Hall became collateral damage. He started to bleed ratings and affiliates. He no longer mattered.
If Hall crashed and burned then, how will he cope now when there is so much more competition? What archetype can he claim for himself against the likes of Letterman, Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon, Carson Daly, Craig Ferguson, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert?
Hall wasn't just a fixture of popular culture in the '90s; he helped shape it. Can he do it again? Will his new show lure future presidential candidates looking to connect with key demographics, as Bill Clinton did in 1992 by donning shades and playing the saxophone? Will there be spontaneous protests (Queen Nation), thoughtful discourse (the L.A. riots), water-cooler awkwardness (his interview with Vanilla Ice) and a steady parade of A-listers who are disarmed by their 57-year-old host?
It seems unlikely.
The show did start with strong ratings this week. But much of this can be attributed to a simple fact: Hall is back on TV and viewers are curious. If quality and comedy are the test, then his first week gets a failing grade: lame videos, unfunny monologue jokes and incoherent interviews with guests from yesteryear.
Late night television is a lot like boxing. You need stamina. You need strategy. You need to land a few knockout punches every few weeks. As it stands now, Hall looks like a man who wandered into the ring in his pyjamas.
It was like watching a former prize fighter shadowbox with his own ghost.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos speaking from the hospital told Brazilian media giant OGlobo that says he used the wrong strategy against once and now current UFC champ Cain Velasquez at UFC 155 and wants a rubber match.
"He was better and deserved the win," said JDS. "But I used the wrong strategy. I was too worried about his takedowns and didn't protect my face, so he hit me. When the fight was on the ground, I should have used my jiu-jitsu more – I trained it so much. But I just tried to get back up and it didn't help me. But on the ground he is very good, very strong. I didn't really connect with any good punches. It was disappointing, because I was feeling good, had an awesome training camp, everything was right. But that's how fighting is … I want (a rubbermatch) now, soon. I won the first one and he got a rematch. Now I lost and I want my rematch. I'm saying I want this fight. I'll get my belt back."

Which game do you feel deserves to win Wii Game of the Year?
I've tried to be someone who legitimately gave the Wii a shot, and tried to check out the interesting games available on the platform. But as someone who is legitimately trying, I am sorry to report that almost nothing of relevance has come out in the 12 months that have passed since Holiday 2010 (which had Kirby's Epic Yarn and Donkey Kong Country Returns). It makes for a bit of a weird GotY discussion when it comes to Wii games.
So without further ado, I have compiled a list of pretty much every exclusive Wii game from the past year that is even remotely playable (only including games released in North America in 2011). Make your choice.

Xenoblade wasn't released in North America. That's why a lot of us hadn't played it or hardly heard of it.
Correct, and I did specifically state in my first post that I only included games that had been released in North America. I'm sure Xenoblade is a fine game, but I myself live in Canada, the staff of this site live in America, and I would wager that a good majority of the site's users also reside in North America. Xenoblade isn't a game that any of us can easily play, and there's always the small chance that it will somehow get released in 2012, so for both of those reasons I didn't include it in this poll.
Also, I'm curious to know more about the people who voted for "Other", since I feel like I covered the most likely candidates. Maybe they're all Xenoblade votes, but I'd be curious to know if people are thinking of some other game.

Correction, the only good Wii game that came out in the US. And hell not even that is true, as Kirby's Return to Dream Land was good too. However Xenoblade is better than both of them, and if any of you have the ability to read instructions now is the perfect time to softmod your Wii and import, seeing as nothing else worthwhile will be coming out for the Wii ever, most likely, at this point.
Oh Lost in Shadow wasn't too shabby either, just forgettable enough that I forgot it existed.
I feel like Zelda is the only option. I mean it is the only game I'd be willing to plug my Wii back in for. Zelda should take all of the top five spots. Not because it was an exceptional game but just because it was damn near the only one.
Kirby gets an honourable mention.
if any of you have the ability to read instructions now is the perfect time to softmod your Wii and import, seeing as nothing else worthwhile will be coming out for the Wii ever, most likely, at this point.
It takes about fifteen minutes and you can play the best Wii game this year (one of the best games on any platform) that isn't called Zelda. Doooooo it.

Xenoblade confirmed today for NA release. There you go.
So it will be the 2012 Wii Game of the Year.
But it's 2011 in North America and this year, it goes to Skyward Sword.
We must realize that this will mean Xenoblade will theoretically be able to win Wii GOTY for two years. :P
And at the same time- this setup means that both games will most likely get some Wii GOTY glory of their own. :) (In the US at least)

Thank you for being one of the few people who actually understood the intent of my poll. I outlined pretty clearly in my first post that I was only including 2011 games that were released in North America. I do look forward to giving Xenoblade a go next year, though.

Premium Gem 1937-D Buffalo Nickel1937-D 5C Three-Legged MS66 NGC. FS-901. This famous die polishing variety was discovered at an early date, probably by C.L. Franzen, who offered them for sale as early as 1937-38 in the Numismatic Scrapbook.. The dramatic appearance of the variety captured the imagination of the numismatic community, and the issue has always commanded a significant premium. Few Mint State coins were found in the 1940s and 1950s, but they have become more available in recent years. Premium Gem examples are still definitely rare. Currently, NGC has certified 19 coins in MS66, with three finer; while PCGS has graded only four Premium Gems, with none finer (6/10).
Prized Three-Legged Variety, FS-901
Prized Three-Legged Variety, FS-901
Light apricot and pink overtones grace the luminous surfaces of this Premium Gem specimen. The obverse striking details are sharp, but the reverse shows less definition (as always). The bison's head remains sharp, however, and the mintmark and E PLURIBUS UNUM are clear. Overall eye appeal is outstanding.(Registry values: N7079) (NGC ID# 22SX, PCGS# 3982)

It was a stunning field of candidates. Remarkable that so many residents stepped forward to serve our wonderful volunteer government. And I hope they will choose to serve on other committees. I congratulate the new appointees. I also want to recognize the 21 years of service by my fellow commissioner Carter Warr, from whom I learned so much and whose contributions I deeply respected.

As we established a couple weeks ago with my preposterously exhaustive research on the history of sports radio in Oklahoma City, I grew up listening sports radio in this town. Morning, news, and night. When other kids were learning to play the piano or play soccer or develop social skills or do anything, really, that would benefit their lives at some point down the road, that is what I would do.
A sports radio junkie doesn't just listen to the hosts; you also get to know the callers almost as well as the hosts. Today I thought we'd take a trip down memory lane and rank some of the best callers in sports radio history. I consulted with Patrick, who has lived a similarly sad existence, and we came up with this list of the top 20 OKC sports radio callers in history. Part one is below the jump, and part two will be posted later today.
Image courtesy of William Bennett Berry.
Tonight, we will embark on the 6th season of Thunder basketball, and tomorrow will mark the 8th year since the Chris Paul led Hornets hosted the Sacramento Kings on opening night back in 2005. That should make you feel old.
With tonight being opening night, I thought I would give a quick refresher course on 10 things you need to know going into tonight's season opener. It reviews some of the storylines of the off-season and what you can expect to see from this year's team. It's more for a casual fan than a hardcore basketball junkie – think of it as a Cliff's Notes season preview – but is still worth reading for the YouTube clips alone.
1. Yes, Russell Westbrook is STILL INJURED!
Yes, Russell Westbrook will be missing the first 4-6 weeks of the season, as the doctors had to go back and repair the meniscus tear in his knee. But don't worry, the injury shouldn't slow him down. (Here's an interview explaining the repair, if you're interested.)
2. Kevin Martin is gone.
Put bluntly, the Thunder knew that getting Kevin Martin would be a one year rental the second that they traded for him. If they were to stay under the much feared "Luxury Tax" and keep Kendrick Perkins, they couldn't spend more than a few million dollars. And that money was earmarked for their new draft picks. Thus, the Thunder said sayonara to Kevin Martin, and any free agent that asked more than the minimum.
3. Kevin Martin's Replacement is some guy named Jeremy Lamb.
Here's the bad news: Jeremy Lamb averaged 37% shooting during the Pre-Season, and 17% from three. Here's the good news: The Pre-Season is entirely meaningless. Case in point: Perry Jones lit up the floor during last year's Pre-Season, and Scott Brooks insinuated that he would get 10-12 minutes a game. He never saw the floor. Also, when the Hornets were in their 2006 Pre-Season, a Polish man named Macej Lampe has something like 20 points and 10 rebounds.* But he too never saw the floor and was out of the NBA by the end of the season. So we can really only judge whether Lamb will succeed when he hits the actual NBA floor, though I'm not holding my breath for anything spectacular.
*That fact was completely stolen from Clark Matthews.
In case you missed it, OU and Texas both unveiled new gold-plated uniforms that will be worn in Saturday's Red River Rivalry. No, that's not the beginning to one of the best OU – Texas jokes on the Internet. It's real.
Here's a pic of the bedazzled uniforms:
Anyway, the Red River Rivalry is a long and storied tradition that was started to give fans of both teams the chance to tell the same jokes, but with different teams at the butt of joke. When the jokes didn't do very well, the students were forced to pull pranks, like branding the Texas Longhorn "Bo" with the score 13-0. The Texas students then rebranded it to read, "BevO." Interesting huh? Oh, the Texas team also killed and ate that steer.
Some other interesting facts: Both head coaches make roughly $5 million a year. They each have one national championship. And they both have stupid looking pinkies (Stoops is caused by genetics, Brown's from making the damn Hook'em Horns sign for the past 15 years).
After the jump I'll provide you with the best jokes floating around the internet!
So, there's this guy. His name is Russell Westbrook. you might know him. He plays point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, and is considered to be one of the NBA's best players, no holds barred. Above you'll see a photo of him on draft night, in 2008. He looks like pretty much any other NBA Draftee. You'll notice the sheepish grin, the ill-fitting suit, the professional as possible tie, and the soon-to-be-outdated Sonics hat. But one thing really stands out about that strapping young lad. That glint in his eye. Something tells you that this is as guy who wants it all. And it's almost certain that it all won't come on a basketball court.
Fast forward to 2013, and Russell Westbrook has become the NBA's most prominent fashion icon since Dennis Rodman. He's appeared in ESPN the Magazine, GQ, VMAN, Vogue, and the New York Times, on all occasions solely for his fashion interests. (He's yet to appear in the legendary So6ix magazine, but that's probably because he knows about the curse.) I couldn't name a single other active player in any other major American sport that comes even close to the notoriety and bravado of Westbrook's style. The irony of it all is that Westbrook plays for a team in Oklahoma City, where fashion is about as important as who the Democratic candidate for senate is going to be.
In the spirit of Westbrook's fashion achievements, I'm here to bring you his greatest outfits. They will be graded in three categories: Creativity, Plausibility (in other words, how well the outfit works for everyday wear), and Memorability. The photo with the highest total score wins. Also, before we begin, I think it's important to disclose that THIS is my idea of excellent fashion. Moving on, here's to you, Russ!

Personally, I absolutely despise this outfit. Mainly because it's something you'd only seen worn by rednecks who don't take showers and drive 40-year-old pickup trucks. But, somehow, Westbrook messes with your perception here. He brands it with some ultra-chic semi-transparent horn-rimmed specs, and stands in front of a futuristic wallpaper. Basically, you're looking at a strange dichotomy that somehow finds a way to blend together through color.

How many jackets can one man wear? That's the question Russell Westbrook attempted to answer with this outfit. It's hard to tell what's going on exactly, but the high collar and the black capeish looking thing on the second layer make me thing he's a vampire. That, and the extremely intense glare he's giving me. Capping off this photo is a Nike basketball turned upside down, because Westbrook is signed with Jordan bland.
Know how to clean a tuba??? With a tuba toothpaste! Funny, huh? I'll be here all week. Tip your waitresses and bar staff.
The reason I started this post with a hysterical joke about tubas is because hysterical drama is still unfolding with the Pride of Oklahoma marching band. Just weeks after the Pride issued a list of demands to OU President David Boren, the band's tuba section has now gone on strike. The Tubateers, as they are affectionately known on campus, are upset by some of the changes implemented by new band director Justin Stolarik, including his strange insistence that they dot the "I" in Oklahoma.
The OU Daily student newspaper has all the details:
The Pride of Oklahoma's tuba section lacked all but three members at rehearsal Monday after members decided to take a stand against inadequate teaching and changes made to the band this year.
Freshman tuba player Michael Boyd said members of the tuba section decided Sunday not to show up to rehearsal Monday and emailed their director, Justin Stolarik, to voice their concerns with the band's performance this year.
So your band's performance has sucked this year, and you combat this by not going to rehearsal? That makes as much sense as hiring an unqualified band director from Wisconsin to lead your university's marching band.
