So I've had the 32GB Corsair Flash Survivor for a few days now which has been time enough for me to run some benchmarks on it and see how practical it is for every day use. I must say, I love it, I was copying some files to it for a friend, and I came to the realization that for once I didn't have to worry about copying too much and filling up the flash drive mid copy as there is almost nothing I could copy to this drive that would fill it up.
So I got a package from FedEx today, inside was the Flash Survivor 32GB model, its new, and its hot, not literally though. Inside the package were the flash drive tube thingy, a USB extension cable, and a Corsair dog tag/chain that I chose to put the flash drive on along with the dog tag.
If the 2, 4, 8, and 16 gigabyte capacities weren't large enough for you, you'll be happy to know they've moved up on the binary scale to a new 32GB capacity. These flash drives are nearly impossible to destroy, they are element proof and have had all sorts of nasty things done to them in an effort to figure out just what the physical limits are.
Having storage to go is always convenient, and USB flash drives has proven to be very useful in transporting files. As flash drive capacities in the market gets bigger and cheaper, more people are relying on it as their "to go" storage.
Corsair Readout is a USB 2.0 flash drive that features a built-in display to show the capacity usage, free space left on the drive, and a personal ID/label. It uses "Bi-stable Cholesteric Display" (BCD) allowing the display to operates up to one year without the use of a battery.
I've been intrigued by Corsair's Survivor GT Flash Drive since it came out a little while back. I currently have a Corsair Voyager which is plenty strong enough to stand up to what I throw at it, but the Survivor promises to stand up to just about anything. The guys over at EverythingUSB got their hands on one and decided to put it to the test; here's what they found.
Many companies are trying to go green and be more environmental friendly. Corsair, one of the memory experts went green with its VX series power supply. The VX family is available in two models, VX450W and VX550W.
Not too long we covered one of Corsair's upcoming flash drives that touted its ability to withstand just about anything. Today they have released the Flash Survivor.
These tough little drives are built from heavy-duty aluminum with a rubber collar to help in shock-absorption. The drive is also well-sealed in the event that it is submerged in water.
It might not look too impressive - in fact it's plump, brash and rubbery - but this Corsair Flash Voyager GT is a 4GB thumb-drive with a difference. Two differences, actually; firstly that it can withstand such hardships as a full wash and spin-dry cycle, being run over with a truck and thrown at a concrete floor, and secondly that it's Corsair's fastest every flash drive. Potential top-speeds of 34MB/s read and 28MB/s write could mean an install of Vista in half the time it takes to do so from a DVD.
Everything USB plugged it in and checked it out, and you can't ask for a clearer recommendation:
"Incredibly fast and especially durable, what's not to like? You'd be foolish not to spend the extra $10 for Corsair's speed demon of a flash drive"

Situated on a tall hill, Volterra is one of the oldest towns in Tuscany, it is an Etruscan settlement with finds that date back to the IX century BC. Worth a visit are: Palazzo dei Priori, the oldest public building in Tuscany and the remains of the large Roman theatre built around the birth of Christ.
A centre of Villanovan culture in the period between IX and VII centuries BC, the ancient Velathri became, in the Etruscan period, the capital town of one of the twelve lacumonie (religious city states), surrounding itself with strong walls until the V century BC and extending throughout the hill in an area much vaster than today.
The walls and the splendid dominating position made the town easily defendable, as proved by the fact that it was the last Etruscan centre to suffer the military and cultural domination by the Romans. In the V century Volterra was an important bishopry seat and the influence of the bishops was protracted for some centuries, until the consolidation of the town as a free Council. It was in this period that the main public buildings and the last of the city walls were constructed, a period, furthermore, characterised also by the struggle between the Guelph and Ghibelline families. It was this internal division that favoured the advent of the Florentine domination, making it an important military centre in the struggle against Siena.
The Medici wanted also to strengthen the defensive structures by building the fortress that was to become a rather conspicuous element of the urban structure of the town. A structure that, today, shows obvious signs of all historic periods making Volterra a true open air museum. The walls and the gates are of the Etruscan period, the archaeological area with the Theatre and Roman Forum (open daily from 11am to 5pm), the Palazzo dei Priori, the Municipal Palazzo, the Cathedral, the Baptistry and the walls are from the period of the Medieval communes.
The Guarnacci museum is one of the oldest public museums in Europe: founded in 1761 when the noble abbot Mario Guarnacci (Volterra 1701-1785) gave his vast archaeological property, gathered over years of research and purchases, to the "people of the city of Volterra". The donation – that also included a library of over 50,000 volumes – was an act of extreme farsightedness as, as well as giving the city a very important cultural instrument, avoided the danger that the vast, accumulated heritage could be lost. Guarnacci, a very erudite historian, author, among other things, of a book about the oldest inhabitants of Italy ("Le Origini Italiche", Lucca 1767) that at the moment of publishing caused lively polemic reactions among the erudite environments, certainly had the great merit of attracting attention to Volterra from the great intellects of the time such as Giovanni Lami, Scipione Maffei, Anton Franceso Gori, who dedicated themselves to the scientific diffusion of the material of his collection via important publications and constant news on magazines such as "Le Novelle Letterarie" (Literary Tales), published in Florence by the same Lami.

Readers can test their knowledge of their own bodies in a new book by authors Michael F. Roizen and Mehmet Oz, "YOU: The Owners' Manual." Part of the quiz excerpted from the book is below.
Testing Your BQ: The Body-Quotient Quiz
Everyone knows that IQ (intelligence quotient) measures your smarts. There's also such a thing as EQ (emotional quotient), which measures traits linked to personality and character. Though some people may live and die by DQ (Dairy Queen), our favorite acronym is BQ: body quotient. How much do you know about your body? Sure, you know your legs make you run, your liver cleans up your happy-hour shenanigans, and your gut makes a nice ledge for your bottle of Bud, but we want to give you a little test -- to introduce you to how cool your body is and to challenge your preconceived notions about how your body works and ages.
Though you've lived in yours for thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, maybe seventy or more years, our contention is that you probably don't know your body as intimately as you think. By knowing your body, you develop a base of knowledge that gives you the power and authority to preserve and strengthen your life.
Don't worry if you fail this Body-Quotient Quiz because we'll answer everything throughout the book. Remember, too, that after you're finished with our book, you have ready tutors: your doctors. And you should use your doctors for more than just signing prescriptions. Use them as teachers; after all, that's what the word doctor means in Latin. Most want to be used this way -- it is their fun, let them have it. Ask them questions. Use their knowledge to learn more about how your body works.
So now pluck that pencil from your kid's backpack, and take a guess at these questions. At the end, flip to the back pages in this chapter, check out the answers, and find out how well you know your body.
The BQ Quiz: How Body Smart Are You?
1. Which of the following ages you the least?
a. Smoking one pack of cigarettes a day
b. A HDL (good) cholesterol level of 29 mg/dl

2. What is the ideal blood pressure?

In this course, well-known author, teacher, and illustrator David Mattingly demonstrates his production-proven matte painting techniques and shows how to turn a summer daytime scene into a wintry nightscape using Photoshop and After Effects. David shows how to take a plate, or a still shot from a film, and alter key elements to change the season and time of day. Using advance digital matte painting methods, David removes all of the greenery from the mountains, fields, and trees, and covers them with snow. Then he replaces the sky, and adds realistic touches such as chimney smoke, icicles, and night-lit windows. In the final chapters, you'll discover how to create an animated scene that cross-dissolves between the two versions.
I still need to get rid of these hard shadows on the side of the building, or at least soften them up so it doesn't look like hard bright sunshine. I'll sample the color from the side of the building and then open up my Brush panel and select a soft brush. In this case I want a soft brush because I want to blend the shadow and light sides together. I plan to take this project from a summertime version to a wintertime version and then to dusk, and these hard shadows would be a dead giveaway that the scene was shot in hard sunlight. That looks better.
I still need to completely paint out these flowers up top. I'm going to grab a dark brown color off the side of the chalet. Right here I can be really loose. To continuously vary the color while using the Brush tool, press the Option or Alt key while clicking in the plate to bring up the color picker on the fly, and select different colors right off the plate. This will keep the painted areas lively, not going dead like a single solid color will. I'm going to select that hard round solid brush.
That way I can go through and restore some of these structural details that I'm losing. I'm going to restore little bit of this railing which used to be in shadow from the flowers. Since they're gone, the balcony would have more light on it. This big area of snow on the rooftop doesn't look very convincing, so I'm going to grab some of the snow on the ground here that has a nice snow texture on it. I'll use the Rectangular Marquee to select an area that looks like it might work for this. That looks good.
Now, Command+Shift+C or Ctrl+Shift+C to Copy Merge the area out. And then I'll use the Magic Wand tool to select just the top of that chalet where all the white is. Now I'll go up to Edit > Paste Special > Paste Into, or use the keyboard command of Command+Shift+V or Ctrl+Shift+V to paste the photo reference into a layer mask based on the selection. Now I can move the material around and see if I can find an area that I really like.
It looks too dark because I chose a shadow area, so I'm going to curve it up. And I'm getting some very convincing snow texture from this that looks a lot more like realistic snow. With the snow positioned and color corrected, merge it into the rooftop layer by selecting the new layer, layer 1, and pressing Command+E or Ctrl+E. Now I want to go through and add some smaller details, like the snow on top of this chimney, and add a little shadow to that.
I still got some hard shadows on this upper floor of the chalet, so I'll take care of that with a soft round brush. I want to keep an indication that this left wall is curving away from us, so I'm going to restore a little bit of that edge. And I'm going to attend to some more small details, like snow on top of these little fence posts. I've missed this building on the left side.
I'm going to add some snow to the rooftop, and on the right side of the roof, and again, on top of the chimney. Next up, we're going to paint some icicles on the chalet using a custom brush.

Taylor Swift Mobile App Launches Exclusive Augmented Reality Content from 'Red'
Big Machine Records and Aurasma, the world's leading augmented reality (AR) platform, announced today that it has added augmented reality to the official Taylor Swift mobile application. Exclusive video content featuring Taylor Swift talking about the inspiration behind the "Red" album artwork can only be found by opening the app's augmented reality feature and pointing the device's viewfinder at a still image featured on the new album, "Red" and on in-store displays at select Walmart stores. Using Aurasma's advanced image recognition technology, the still image "comes to life" on the mobile device to deliver a special – and seemingly magical - experience for fans. Instructions to discover the augmented reality content appear on in-store Walmart displays as well as Taylor Swift's official website, Twitter feed, and Facebook page. The Taylor Swift mobile app will include even more augmented reality content moving forward.
"The inspiration for the 'Red' album artwork and photos came from my personal style from the past year," says Taylor on the video within the app. "I'm fascinated by the fashion from the '50s and '60s and pulled inspiration from those decades, and I'm personally so proud of the resulting photos included in the album artwork."
"Integrating Aurasma augmented reality in Taylor Swift's mobile app gives her fans an amazing new way to experience Taylor," said Jennifer Rapp, general manager of Aurasma. "Big Machine has embraced Aurasma's augmented reality platform in order to add even more great content to Taylor's mobile app to share with her fans."
In addition to providing exclusive content from the album, "Red", the Taylor Swift app will also bring content to life on her Taylor Swift Wonderstruck fragrance packaging from Elizabeth Arden and at Walmart displays throughout the United States.
The Taylor Swift mobile app is available for free NOW in the iTunes Store and Google Play.

Katherine Hooker will debut her latest collection of coats and jackets this October with the opening of a U.S. pop-up shop in New York City beginning October 5th. The Soho shop is located at 436 West Broadway and will run through October 14th. The shop is Hooker's only brick and mortar retail presence outside of her flagship in London's Chelsea neighborhood. Ms. Hooker will be on hand to personally consult customers on fabric, fit, and style.
The shop will stock Hooker's celebrated jackets, coats, vests, and ready-to-wear. New to the brand's collection is the Harvey Bag, a softly shaped tote made from herringbone tweed and trimmed with supple chocolate leather.
At the forefront of UK fashion for the past decade, the leading British designer is renowned for her signature tweed coats and blazers, ranging from her sculpted Hacking Jacket to her lean, elegant Opera Coat. Her line is synonymous with chic, ageless style, having an old-world quality with a contemporary edge.
Hooker combines tradition with flair. Passionate about fine fabrics, she uses Shetland lambswool, pure cashmere, and Harris Tweed from far-flung corners of Scotland. The results speak for themselves; her pieces are elegant, luxurious, and infinitely wearable. But also, they are fresh, sharp, and modern with exquisite attention to detail in their whimsical trims, buttons, and linings.
What singles out Katherine Hooker's creations is the clever cut. Long and lean with narrow shoulders and properly fitted under the armpits, they are designed to make all women look and feel fabulous. Offered in semi-bespoke Made to Measure tailoring as well as her Ready To Wear line, Katherine Hooker's outerwear and dresses are both functional and fantastically flattering.
Her tenth Autumn/Winter collection includes the elegantly fitted three-quarter length Franklin Coat and the sleek and modern collarless Tallulah Coat. Taking its inspiration from the Spanish Civil War, the Westcott jacket makes a statement with its oversized pockets, while the Cain jacket is smart, neat, and classic. The fluid Cape Coat is innovative and fun, and the sexy, cropped Daisy jacket blends classic English heritage with city-sharp style.
The Duchess of Cambridge is a client and it's little wonder that Pippa Middleton, The Countess of Wessex, Jerry Hall, Yoko Ono, Meryl Streep, Blythe Danner, Zoe Saldana and Jemma Kidd are also customers.

Straight No Chaser Performs at MAC, 3/22
Straight No Chaser is performing live at Mesa Arts Center on Thursday, March 22 at 7:30 p.m.
Straight No Chaser reinvents the idea of a cappella on the modern pop landscape.
Original SNC member Randy Stine comments, "We take the music very seriously; we just don't take ourselves too seriously." Atlantic Chairman/CEO Craig Kallman found the group's music "brilliant, fresh and totally compelling." Straight No Chaser returns to Mesa and will perform on Thursday, March 22, 2012, at 7:30 p.m., at the Mesa Arts Center.
Originally formed over a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the group has reassembled and reemerged with a massive fanbase, more than 20 million views on YouTube, numerous national TV appearances, and proven success with two holiday releases, 2008's HOLIDAY SPIRITS and 2009's CHRISTMAS CHEERS as well as WITH A TWIST, released this spring. In an era when so much pop music is the product of digital processing and vocal pro-tooling, Straight No Chaser is the real deal – the sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make music that is moving people in a fundamental sense… and with a sense of humor.
For more information or to purchase tickets, call the Mesa Arts Center Box Office at 480-644-6500 or visit MesaArtsCenter.com.

Automated push-button card management wallet
This wallet, from ACM (or should that be ACM-E?) boasts a patented design that offers up your chosen card at the push of a button.
We like 'cos it looks like something we thought we'd own in the year 2000, although the pessimistic older us just sees the potential card-eating downside of a major malfunction - especially if you were in the front of a very long queue.
From $40 to $60 dollars depending on whether you need a six or 12 card version.

Question goferphan--Is word out that Storley is going up to 184 and Pfarr moving down to 174? Interesting switch.
Question goferphan--Is word out that Storley is going up to 184 and Pfarr moving down to 174? Interesting switch.
I'd be very surprised if that happened. Although Storley is a more solid 174 this year than he was last year one of his teammates still calls him McFatty.
"He beat nobodies..Thorn at 133 won't be great, R12 or worse imo...
I just don't see it...David Thorn is not elite. I don't think he'll place"
Thats pretty funny, no it was just a total guess on my part regarding Pfarr and Storley.
I actually like Brancale/Kingsley at 125, hoping one of them grows in to the weight.
Thorn definitely solidifies 133. Just watch this kid. So much fun to watch.
I was just being conservative on Gophers, if I came in and said they were gonna win it all I'd start a shyt storm
"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak."
Badgers will be looking something like this:
125 - Ryan Taylor
133 - Jesse Thielke
141 - Gabe Grahek
149 - Ryan Lubeck
157 - Zeke Jordan
165 - Seth Liegel
174 - Jake Stilling
184 - Ricky Robertson
197 - Timmy McCall
HWT - Connor Medberry
The wild cards in the line up are Grahek, Liegel, and Stilling. Other guys could potentially be wrestle those weights as well. All redshirt freshmen, all could be good or not. The rest of the line up is good to great. 6 All Americans is not out of the question. Us Badgers are pretty excited about the years coming up. We'll also have incoming freshmen Johny Jiminez (125), Jens Lanz (133/141) and Ryan Christensen (184) who plan to redshirt, but who knows what could happen. All were studs in HS and 2 of them ranked in the top 50. DC
I'd say, Jordan, Taylor, Medberry followed by Thielke, Robertson, Lubeck and McCall. I think Thielke could really explode on the seen this year wrestling at the correct weight and finally having a year to focus on folk style. He was really coming on at the end of the year. It was a shame he didn't qualify for nationals. Robertson is a stud, he could do great things his freshmen year. I think our weakest weights will be 141, 165, and 174 who will all be redshirt freshmen who did ok last year, but did not light the world on fire.
Outside the top 5 would be a disappointment for Minny. They may be "down" but they'll be good. Thorn, Dardanes, Dardanes, Ness, Storley, Pfarr, Schiller Kroells. 8 good guys, 7 of them fairly proven. Thorn will be young, and maybe could use a RS, but he won't be a hole if he wrestles.
They don't have that big time pop, but they're solid.
To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
I think Brandon Kingsley will be the starter at 165 and could AA.
"He beat nobodies..Thorn at 133 won't be great, R12 or worse imo...
I just don't see it...David Thorn is not elite. I don't think he'll place"

Partway through a road construction project last year, the northbound lanes of Northwest Barstow Street just south of East North Street were marked with new directional lane markings.
Before the construction, drivers in either lane of northbound Barstow could go straight through the intersection. After crossing North, Barstow quickly narrows into one lane, and drivers sometimes had to jockey for position when the two lanes suddenly merged into one.
The city has received complaints about the lane narrowing, said Margaret Liedtke, a project manager in the city's engineering department. During the construction process, those complaints intensified, so the city decided to temporarily re-mark the northbound lanes of Barstow on the south side of North, so that the left lane was marked with a left-turn-onlyarrow and the right lane was marked with a straight-ahead-only arrow.
When the temporary markings were removed, the city and the DOT received a lot of complaints about reverting to the old system, Liedtke said. The city decided that making the temporary lane markings permanent would mean a smoother traffic flow. By the time that decision was made, the weather was too cold to apply lane markings, so the ones that drivers see now are still temporary. Better, more permanent lane markings will be applied when the weather warms up, Liedtke said.

The April 5, 1913, issue of The Moving Picture World mentioned a "Capital" Theatre on East Washington Street in Springfield. The owners, I. Burnstine and Joseph Shepard, were planning to open a new theater at 111 N. Sixth Street. Perhaps that was the house that was opened that year as the Amuse U Theatre, which we list at 115 N.Sixth.

Suspicious fire burns down housen WINDER - One person was displaced Wednesday when fire destroyed a house at 415 Maple Park Drive in Winder at 6:45 p.m. The resident was at home at the time the fire broke out, but suffered no injuries. Barrow County fire investigators have deemed the fire to be of suspicious origins. It remains under investigation. Winder burglars take copper wire from two homes n WINDER - Winder police scared off a burglar Tuesday night, but the burglar still got away with a length of copper wire. The home's resident was in the process of moving from one home to another. Several valuable items remained in the East Broad Street home. When the man returned to move his property, he found his items moved to the living room as if for a quick getaway, police reports said. Winder police had scared off the burglar the night before while investigating a suspicious person call, police reports said. The home's resident discovered the copper line to the outdoor propane storage tank had been cut and taken, releasing the stored propane. In a separate case, a length of copper wire was taken from a Miles Patrick Road home Monday. The interior of the house is being rebuilt due to water damage. Workers discovered copper piping had been cut loose from the water heater and throughout the house, as well as workmen's tools, police reports said. There are no suspects. Money taken from closet in home n WINDER - A woman told police she returned to her Fairview Court home to find $600 missing. The woman said she found her back door standing open and the money missing from a box hidden in the closet, police reports said. There were no suspects. Man charged with stealing 36 beers n WINDER - Winder police arrested Timothy Eubanks, 25, of Winder, and charged him with shoplifting two 18-packs of beer. A clerk at the Kangaroo, 93 E. May St., told police that Eubanks took the two packs of beer from the cooler at 2:50 a.m. When she told him she could not sell beer at that hour, Eubanks told her that his mama loves him and left with the beer. A Winder police officer located Eubanks walking down the street with the beer. Pants stolen from unlocked window n WINDER - A Wood Avenue man told Winder police that he woke up Tuesday and found his pants gone. The man said he had laid his pants on the laundry basket in front of a window and went to bed. When he awoke, the window was open and his pants were gone. The man lost his keys, check book and wallet, which held $130, his social security card and Medicaid card. Officer shoots aggressive pit bull n LAWRENCEVILLE - A Gwinnett County Police officer was forced to shoot a dog Tuesday when the animal became vicious. According to a police report, the officer was called to the Magic Touch Barber at 955 Pleasant Hill Road about 8 a.m. to reports that a pit bull was attempting to bite people walking by the shop. When the officer arrived the dog began growling and charged the officer who responded by firing two shots. The dog ran to a dog house behind the barber shop after being shot in the chest. Animal Control officers were called to take away the animal, the report said. A barber at the shop told the officer the dog belonged to a former barber shop employee. He said he planned to get rid of the dog due to its aggressive behavior. Man charged with loitering, prowling NORCROSS - Police caught a man Saturday who had been peering into a Norcross apartment owner's window. The woman living at the Copper Mill Apartments on Jerry Way said she saw a skinny Hispanic man looking in her window shortly before midnight Saturday. After the woman gave Gwinnett police a description of the man, officers found him walking through the woman's apartment complex. Juan Jesus Ramirez-Cuartez, 35, was arrested and charged with loitering and prowling. He told police he lived in the Copper Mill apartment complex.

I was gonna tell you a joke about pizza....but it was too cheesy
Hi! Get to know me a little bit. I am your average guy. I work hard and I play hard. I love to goof around, yet be a hard-working individual. It has gotten me to where I am in life, and I am happy with that. There is only one thing wrong, it doesn't have you in the picture. I am a smart guy, but I don't flaunt it, and most people find me amusing. I have learned throughout my life that everything is so much easier if you just don't take everything so serious, and take a moment to laugh at yourself. It helps relieve stress and calm an individual. Everyone excels so much when they don't have stress. I am an independent person, and an honest person. I love my job and I love that it pays me well enough to allow me to live a life that I enjoy, but I would much rather have someone to enjoy it with. I enjoy unwinding in my free time and one of the ways to do that is to spend time outdoors. I enjoy bike riding and going to the gun range. However, I must admit, I really do enjoy watching movies and just curling up on the couch. I love to cook and fire up the grill (so you wouldn't have to worry about cooking if you didn't want to). I am kind of over the party scene, would much rather sit around a fire and have a few beers than go out every weekend. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to go out some times. I love sports and to watch sports. My favorite teams are the Baltimore Ravens, Washington Capitals, and the Boston Red Sox. While I love the Boston Red Sox, I enjoy going to an Orioles game, no matter who they are playing, because in the end I love sports, and baseball. Adrenaline rushes is something that really gets me going and I love them. I have been sky diving and used to have a street bike. Could you imagine that? I enjoy movies that are comedies and like actors such as Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, and Vince Vaughn.

Slashing red tape only for pet projects
CEQA reform advances for Sacramento arena deal
Supporters of subsidized sports teams routinely exaggerate the economic benefits of new arenas. But shouldn't whatever economic benefits CEQA reform brings to downtown Sacramento be available in Escondido and El Centro, too? Steinberg's spokesman says that SB 731 will usher in the most significant changes since the law's inception, but critics see it as a pale imitation of the reforms offered for the arena complex.
"Nothing is special about sports teams," said Kathryn Phillips, director of Sierra Club California. It is a rite of passage, she added, that legislators push through a sports exemption at the end of the session. In 2009, for instance, the Senate passed one for a proposed NFL stadium in the city of Industry, thus prompting a CEQA-reform counter-effort by San Diego-area legislators so Los Angeles couldn't swipe the Chargers.
Phillips may be wrong in her opposition to CEQA reform, but she is right that all projects deserve equal treatment. CEQA reform either is a good policy or it isn't. It's wrong to use such measures to give advantage to one region over another, or simply to help a project on a prominent senator's radar screen.

Two new studies take a fresh look at the relationship between SOD1 and ALS.
Researchers first associated mutations in the SOD1 gene with familial ALS in 1993, one of the first times that a specific gene had been associated with the illness. Since this discovery nearly twenty years ago, scientists have been hard at work trying to figure out exactly how changes in the SOD1 protein can lead to ALS. Two new studies published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Packard scientists in March have revealed some important clues in the relationship between SOD1 and ALS.
Only a small percentage of ALS patients carry an inherited mutation in SOD1, yet some studies revealed that the SOD1 protein doesn't work properly even in sporadic ALS patients without a known mutation in the gene. Packard Center Science Director Piera Pasinelli showed that SOD1 is over-oxidized in certain disease-fighting white blood cells in sporadic ALS patients with bulbar onset. When further stressed, this over-oxidized SOD1 acquires toxic properties similar to those seen in mutant SOD1, linking mechanisms of toxicity between a subset of sporadic and familial patients respectively.
Jonathan Glass, a neuroscientist at Emory University in Atlanta.
In a separate study, Packard researchers Jonathan Glass, a neuroscientist at Emory University in Atlanta, and Jean Pierre Julien, a neuroscientist at Laval University in Quebec, developed antibodies to recognize misfolded SOD1 in motor neurons in familial ALS patients. Although mutant SOD1 is found in every cell in the body, the antibodies only recognized the misfolded SOD1 in dying motor neurons. This indicates, Glass said, that specific changes are happening to SOD1 in motor neurons during the course of disease.
"We still don't know the cause of ALS. We know that a mutation in certain genes is associated with ALS, but we don't know why these mutations kill cells," Glass said. These studies are helping researchers figure out this association.
Since hereditary SOD1 mutations are rare, even among ALS patients, researchers expanded their search for SOD1's toxic effects into sporadic ALS patients. Previous studies have hinted that wild-type SOD1 may be misfolded, likely through changes induced by environmental stressors, and unable to perform its normal functions in some ALS patients. Using lymphoblasts derived from ALS patients, Pasinelli and colleagues showed for the first time that at least part of this hypothesis was correct. In cells from a subset of sporadic patients, scientists found an over-oxidized version of SOD1. When cells with this over-oxidized wild-type SOD1 were faced with additional oxidative stress from hydrogen peroxide, they were unable to respond to by further increasing oxidation of SOD1. Instead, oxidative stress induced the over-oxidized SOD1 to misbehave like the mutant SOD1 seen in familial ALS cases. This change targeted and damaged a protein important to maintain the normal function of the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell). It seems that in the portion of sporadic ALS with over-oxidized SOD1, there is a sort of double hit mechanism, Pasinelli and colleagues found, in which the over-oxidized SOD1 lowers the threshold to an additional insult that, in patients, can be triggered by the environment or by aging and, in turn, damages the cells.
"So far, this is the first time that it is shown that wild-type SOD1 is modified by oxidation in ALS using patients' cells. This shows a specific mechanism of toxicity of an aberrant wild-type SOD1 in sporadic ALS- a mechanism that has been teased out for mutant SOD1 and allows for the design of target-based therapies that have the potential to go beyond the limited numbers of familial SOD1 patients," Pasinelli said. "We used peripheral blood cells, in which the presence of an over-oxidized SOD1 has the potential to become a biomarker to classify different populations of sALS patients. We also need to confirm using a larger cohort of patients that indeed, this over-oxidized SOD1 correlates with a particular group of sporadic patients."
The work of Glass and colleagues asked a slightly different question. Did mutant SOD1 misfold in all the cells in familial ALS patients, or were these folding problems limited to nervous system cells? "A person who is carrying a mutant SOD1 protein is born with that mutation, and lives a good portion of their life before anything happens. The protein is there their whole life, but, for some reason, at age 50 or 60, it starts killing motor neurons," Glass said. "We wanted to know what happens to that protein that makes it toxic."
Glass and colleagues created an antibody that would only recognize the toxic form of mutant SOD1 and screened a variety of human and mouse tissues to see in which types of cells this protein could be found. Using tissues from autopsies of familial ALS patients with an SOD1 mutation and SOD1 mouse models of ALS, the researchers found evidence that all types of cells were producing SOD1—from liver to heart to sensory neurons—but only very specific motor neurons showed evidence of the toxic SOD1. Whereas one motor neuron might show evidence of the toxic SOD1, its neighbor might not. And when Glass and colleagues tracked these motor neurons over time, they found that the presence of toxic SOD1 was essentially a death knell for these motor neurons. Expression of the toxic SOD1 only happened in motor neurons that were destined to die.
Further experiments showed that the toxic SOD1 protein didn't show signs of misfolding, nor was it necessarily insoluble, as researchers previously thought. As well, when Glass and colleagues looked for this toxic SOD1 protein in non-SOD1 rodent models of ALS and in sporadic ALS patients, they didn't find any.
Although these two findings appear to contradict each other, in reality, they complement each other. Glass stressed that these studies looked at SOD1 in two very different contexts, studying different types of cells and different subtypes of ALS. "The two studies don't necessarily speak to the same issue of whether sporadic and familial ALS have common features of SOD1 pathology," Glass said. "The whole idea that we understand what the toxic form of this protein is remains in question."

Pasinelli adds: "Both studies suggest that, rather than looking for the presence of a misfolded SOD1 as a marker of disease in sporadic ALS patients, scientists need to use different tools to identify potential disease-triggered modifications in SOD1."
Much of the research to understand ALS and develop therapies for the disease uses animal models based on SOD1 mutations. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms potentially shared by sporadic and familial ALS may enable researchers to generalize mutant SOD1 models to ALS disease that doesn't involve SOD1 mutations. As well, understanding how mutant SOD1 leads to ALS may help researchers better understand the disease process regardless of the precise genetic mutation. Lastly, these studies may open the door to subtyping ALS patients based on specific biomarkers.
