Maged1, a new regulator of skeletal myogenic differentiation and muscle regeneration
In normal adult skeletal muscle, cell turnover is very slow. However, after an acute lesion or in chronic pathological conditions, such as primary myopathies, muscle stem cells, called satellite cells, are induced to proliferate, then withdraw definitively from the cell cycle and fuse to reconstitute functional myofibers.
We show that Maged1 is expressed at very low levels in normal adult muscle but is strongly induced after injury, during the early phase of myoblast differentiation. By comparing in vitro differentiation of myoblasts derived from wild-type or Maged1 knockout mice, we observed that Maged1 deficiency results in reduced levels of p21CIP1/WAF1, defective cell cycle exit and impaired myotube maturation. In vivo, this defect results in delayed regeneration of injured muscle.
These data demonstrate for the first time that Maged1 is an important factor required for proper skeletal myoblast differentiation and muscle healing.
Skeletal muscle contains quiescent mononucleated myogenic cells, called satellite cells, that are able to proliferate in response to injury and give rise to new functional myofibers. Soon after a lesion, inflammatory cells such as neutrophiles and macrophages are recruited at the damaged site where they release growth factors and cytokines that induce satellite cells to proliferate. The activated satellite cells divide asymmetrically to (1) reconstitute the stock of stem cells and (2) provide myoblasts that will first proliferate and then undergo myogenic differentiation and maturation to form new muscle fibers. The new cells can fuse between themselves or with existing fibers. Muscle differentiation involves a cascade of muscle-specific gene activation coordinated with irreversible withdrawal from the cell cycle. The commitment of cells to the muscle lineage and to progression through differentiation requires the activation of a limited set of muscle-specific transcription factors. These key factors are the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors MyoD, Myf5, myogenin (MyoG) and MRF4, which are collectively called myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs). The MRFs activate their target genes by binding to the E-box CANNTG consensus sequence
Necdin, a member of the large family of Mage proteins, has recently been reported to promote myoblast survival and differentiation and to improve skeletal muscle regeneration
Maged1 is induced early during myogenic differentiation
Microarray gene profiling indicated that Maged1 was upregulated in skeletal biopsies from DMD patients when compared to unaffected controls

Maged1 transcription is activated by MRFs during myoblast differentiation
The myogenic differentiation program is regulated primarily by the MRFs that all bind to E-box motifs in their target gene promoters. These factors act in cooperation with myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) and bHLH E proteins to drive the myogenic differentiation program. In C2C12 myoblasts, MyoD is expressed but is inactive when cells are cultured in serum-rich medium

Deficiency of Maged1 results in impaired myogenic differentiation
The induction of Maged1 during myoblast differentiation and the fact that the related protein Necdin promotes myoblast differentiation suggested that Maged1 could also be a regulator of myogenic differentiation. To investigate this possibility, we compared differentiation of primary myoblasts isolated from wild-type or from constitutive Maged1 knockout mice

Maged1 is required for normal p21CIP1/WAF1 expression and cell cycle withdrawal of differentiating myoblasts
Reduced differentiation could result from deficient expression of MRFs or from an inability to withdraw from the cell cycle in G0. To identify the cause of the differentiation defect observed in the myoblasts derived from constitutive Maged1 knockout mice, we analyzed the expression of

Discussion and Conclusions
Skeletal muscle satellite cells are quiescent stem cells that are activated in response to physiological or pathological stimuli such as after muscle injury or in chronic pathological conditions. After an acute lesion, the initial phase of muscle repair is characterized by inflammation and degeneration of the damaged tissue. Almost simultaneously, satellite cells are activated and proliferate to generate a population of myoblasts that differentiate and fuse to form new multinucleated myotubes. Muscle regeneration is a tightly orchestrated process, and understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for its control is important for the development of treatments of muscles impaired by aging, disease or atrophy.
Maged1 is upregulated during myoblast differentiation and muscle regeneration
Maged1 is silent in normal adult muscles, but it is massively induced soon after injury of skeletal muscles. In primary cultures of myoblasts, Maged1 is expressed in proliferating cells, and its expression increases within the first 24 hours after the induction of terminal differentiation at the time when cells normally exit from the cell cycle. We observed that high levels of Maged1 RNA and protein were maintained as long as the differentiation proceeded. Promoter analysis showed that
Maged1 is required for efficient myoblast cell cycle withdrawal, myogenic differentiation and normal muscle regeneration after injury
The induction of Maged1 during muscle differentiation and regeneration suggested that it could play a role during these processes. We showed that mouse primary myoblasts deficient in Maged1 had a largely reduced capacity to differentiate and to fuse. In vivo, the loss of Maged1 leads to delayed regeneration after muscle injury with the production of smaller muscle fibers. This deficit appears to result from a late block in the differentiation program. Indeed, in the absence of Maged1, we observed normal expression of
A future direction of inquiry following these results will be to determine how Maged1 regulates the G1 to G0 transition in differentiating myoblasts. This cell cycle arrest requires the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor (Rb) protein
It has been shown previously that Maged1 can regulate transcription by interacting with several transcription factors and regulators
Maged1 is broadly expressed in embryonic and adult tissues and has been identified as interacting with many proteins implicated in apoptosis signaling, cell cycle regulation, cell adhesion and migration, cell differentiation and transcription regulation

C2C12 myoblasts were a gift from Professor Raymackers (UCL, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium). C2C12 cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 20% FBS, 50 μg/ml gentamicin, and a 1x mixture of non-essential amino acids (growth medium, GM). Cells were induced to differentiate in DMEM supplemented with 2% horse serum and 50 μg/ml gentamicin (differentiation medium, DM). NIH-3T3 fibroblasts were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 50 μg/ml gentamicin.
The MyoD expression plasmid pEMSV-MyoD (original researcher April Hawkins) was a kind gift of Eric N. Olson. Fragments of the human MAGED1 promoter and their mutated versions were amplified by PCR from human DNA and cloned into a pGL3-basic vector (Promega). Site-directed mutagenesis was performed using a triple PCR method. The primers used were the following: -1977 forward: 5'-TCAGAGCTCTATGAAGGAATCGGTTTGGGA-3'; -971 forward: 5'-TCAGAGCTCTTAGTCCCCAGGCCAGCATGA-3'; -531 forward: 5'-TCAGAGCTCTCCTCTCAGGCCATTCCGTT-3'; +80 reverse: 5'-TCAACGCGTGAGGATCGGGATTGCTGGGC-3'; Δ-118 forward: 5'-TCCAGCG
Total RNA from cells from 6-cm plates was extracted using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) and subjected to reverse transcription using the Impromt-II transcriptase (Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Quantitative PCR was performed on 7.5 ng of cDNA in a volume of 20 μl with Power SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) using the ABI 7300 real-time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). Unless otherwise cited, primer sequences were designed using Primer Express software (Applied Biosystems).
The primers used were the following: GAPDH forward: 5'-CGTGCCGCCTGGAGAA-3'; GAPDH reverse: 5'-GATGCCTGCTTCACCACCTT-3'; Maged1 forward: 5'-CAAGAGGACCCGCAAGGTT-3'; Maged1 reverse: 5'-GCCTTTGATCCCCACTGTTG-3'; MyoD forward: 5'-GCTGCCTTCTACGCACCTG-3'; MyoD reverse: 5'-GCCGCTGTAATCCATCATGC-3'
Luciferase Assay
5x104 NIH-3T3 fibroblasts or C2C12 myoblasts were seeded into each well of 24-well plates and transfected with 1 μg of DNA mixtures, including 20 ng of the
FACS and cell cycle analysis
Cells were harvested by trypsinization, fixed in 70% ethanol overnight at -20°C and incubated with propidium iodide (PI) solution (PI 10 μg/ml, sodium citrate 1.1% and RNAse A 1 mg/ml) for 30 minutes at 37°C before FACS analysis. For each sample, 10,000 cells were analyzed for DNA content in the FL2 channel using FACSCalibur platform (BD Sciences).
Immunocytochemistry and fusion index
First, 5x104 primary myoblasts were seeded in each well of 24-well collagen-coated plates in GM. Twenty-four hours later, cells were shifted to DM. To perform immunocytochemistry, cells were fixed in 4% buffered paraformaldehyde solution and incubated with anti-MHC for two hours at room temperature. MHC-expressing cells were visualized using the Vectastain ABC kit (Vector Laboratories). Labeled cells were photographed under a light microscope, and more than 800 nuclei per genotype per time point were counted. The fusion index was calculated by dividing the number of nuclei in MHC-expressing cells containing at least two nuclei by the total number of nuclei of MHC-expressing cells.
BrdU incorporation test
Cells were incubated for 2 hours with BrdU-containing medium (10 μM) before staining with anti-BrdU and secondary fluorescent antibodies following standard protocol. Nuclei were visualized by counterstaining with TOPRO®-3. Approximately 400 cells were counted under fluorescent microscopy to determine the percentage of labeled cells.
Protein extraction and immunoblot analysis
Cells and muscle tissues were homogenized in RIPA buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 1% NP-40, 0.25% Na-deoxycholate, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM NaF, 1 mM Na3VO4, and a protease inhibitor cocktail (Complete; Roche Diagnostics) and centrifuged at 1,000
Statistical analysis
All experiments were performed at least three times and results were expressed as mean ± the standard deviation (SD). Statistical analyses were conducted using Student's t-test and the difference was considered significant when the probability value was < 0.05.

Unity and UE4 are the top engine players but really almost if not all engines out their can do a card game. With that said it would be good to keep in mind that UE4 has blueprints which can be very advantageous for prototyping or even making the whole game with. Ultimately the choice is yours as you only know the kind of experience you have to work with.
blewisjr commented on Mussi's blog entry in Journal of MussiI have been using C for a quite a while. Mostly programming for hobby type stuff in C and ASM on really tiny devices with little to no processing power or memory. They call these things Microcontrollers. The thing is with C you don't necessarily need a shutdown procedure it all depends on what you are doing. The one thing I tell everyone that is going to do things the non OOP way and use the C way is the golden rule of what allocates the memory frees the memory. If you remember this things become very smooth and less over engineered. So you you have a function that allocates memory say for a structure make sure you have a function that frees the memory of that structure. So what you get is a very smooth flow chart like experience. It also makes potential memory leaks easy to fix if you forget to call your function that frees up the memory you allocated. When I code in C I usually dedicate specific code files for tasks as well. So if you are creating a structure or a linked list or whatever have a file that is dedicated to operating on that data which would include manipulation, creation and freeing of the memory. It makes for some smooth organization and prevents your code cluttering up one file. I will agree it can seem like a lot of boilerplate but in reality I much prefer the non object oriented style of Functional and Procedural languages it just makes more sense and I feel leads to better code design as there are less over engineering pitfalls you can corner yourself into getting carried away. Much more linear and understandable.
blewisjr commented on slayemin's blog entry in slayemin's JournalYup mistakes all companies make at some point as long as you learn from them it is well worth the mistake. Just remember almost all individuals game studios and startups went totally broke before they made money. Same for most businesses in general. A lot of it is simply because of the mistakes you made which were not technically mistakes but more of a investment into you business. All of which did not work out but which led to your current product. Just look for the light and gun for it even if it means you need to make some cuts before you get too deep to climb out. Oh and never forget the golden rules of software KISS and there is never perfect software.

As a little update I have been spending more time with JMonkey and been really digging it so far even if I am not the #1 Java fan I am a Pure C guy it is a really well done engine will probably run with this and see where it goes.
blewisjr commented on Ashaman73's blog entry in Gnoblins - Development journal of an indie gameLooks really awesome. Have you considered also randomly generating the base layout (if not already doing). Fully random layouts can be wonderful to experience as a player.
blewisjr posted a blog entry in Ramblings of a partialy sane programmerWow has it really been this long since I posted a journal entry. Man time really flies right by it is just insane. Over the last few months I have been going through the motions of designing a project. The project is rather over ambitious for sure and 99% of the worlds population would probably call me insane. Even as I was going through and laying out the design I realized how insane I really was but it does not matter I want to work on something long term a huge almost impossible endeavor just because I can. I know I have the capability to complete said project and at this point it is more figuring out how to approach the project effectively. So lets get into some of the decisions I have to make to do so after I give a brief layout of what it is I want to do. First and foremost my game is a RPG but not the typical RPG. I don't want to create just another RPG or ARPG to add to the meat grinder. I want to create a RPG that can evolve and hold longevity without costing a player 1 penny. This project is not about making money or creating a business it is about creating a community. The key goals of this project all combine around this fact of community and having friends be able to gather together and adventure. A modular scenario based system (the ability to mod in your own custom adventures in a easy way) A Turn based Action system The ability to customize the rule set The ability to customize various actions in the game (spells, attacks, etc...) The ability to use premade or custom assets for the scenario's The ability to play solo or with friends Open Source/Cross Platform (This project is very ambitious and 100% free + I love open source) As far as technologies to use I have no clue at the moment. I ruled out Unity/UE4 simply because the do not fit the open source motto even if they would be great to use they just do not fit the project. I also need something very flexible that will allow me to create the necessary tools needed to create a good environment for building the custom scenario modules. Since I have a wide variety of applicable programming skills I began evaluation of some potential target technologies. Currently I am evaluating JME3 which just so happens to be very nice to work with despite some of the quirks and lack of direction in its tooling the core engine itself is really well done and easy to pick up on. +1 for great documentation. The only thing I really do not like here is the Netbeans based SDK as I find it very off putting for some reason or another, however, it may be possible to work outside of the sdk and develop some custom tooling to replace some of the features. The goal is to abstract creators away from needing to actually touch the programming language behind the game and from having to install the whole engine + sdk to create scenarios. I have also looked at SDL/SFML way back in the past but the new versions for sure are very slick, however, I am not sure I want to go the route of a 2D game. It for sure would work and it would solve the issue quite quickly of having to work around the JME3 SDK system. This approach could however remove some people from wanting to help contribute to the project due to the use of C/C++ . Sure there are other bindings but they tend to be quirky and awkward to use because they rarely follow the structure the other languages are known for. Any input on other tech that I did not mention would be much appreciated just leave it in the comments and if you want you can even just comment to call me insane. Can't think of anything else to type so see you again soon.
blewisjr replied to blewisjr's topic in For BeginnersThanks for the response. I am not sure if a full blown engine like godot, ue4, or unity would work for something this different and customizeable but will for sure look into them you never know. They can go one of two ways make less work or cause much more work. I am quite out of the normal mold here.
blewisjr posted a topic in For BeginnersWow it has been quite a while since I have been around here. Well finally getting back into game dev for a few reasons. 1. I am and always will have a passion for it. 2. The US Job market blows and I have a lot of spare time while still trying to obtain a job with my degree might as well use my skills and develop them even more. Ok on topic I am designing a game. Well not exactly a game but a core framework to make endless game content and at the same time a game. Think table top rpg gone digital. So I am looking to put a tools together to create my dream game but obviously we need some restrictions. 1. The project will be 100% open source. 2. I would like to if possible to avoid c/c++ as I would like the project to be more approachable and the game will be turn based and 2d anyway so there is not much need for the "performance". 3. 2d for sure as this is a modular game thin NWN style. The game itself is a tool set the modules are actually the game. There will be pre made modules to enjoy but for a real custom experience custom art may be needed and 2d is more approachable for anyone to do. 4. As a advanced creator feature I would like custom rules etc to be create and this might involve some scripting so here I figure lua and or python would be perfect even if they need to be integrated in a c/c++ codebase. So anyone more in the loop offer some suggestions. First there will be gui requirements for the tools and obviously I will need some sort of 2d api or engine probably api as this system is a unique case. If possible doing the whole thing in python would be awesome but from my experience python + graphics + gui has been a mess over the years. So feel free to bombard me with opinions suggestions etal... Keep in mind despite this being in for beginners I was not sure where to put this I am not a new to making a game or programming. And yes I am go ogling like a mad man looking for options.
blewisjr commented on blewisjr's blog entry in Ramblings of a partialy sane programmerIt really is a nice device Navyman. Very fast and responsive. You can quite literally write with the stylus very legibly and accurately. There is lots I did not do with it yet but I am very impressed at the quality of the device. The screen is amazing and I actually am not sure how they did it but it is every bit as crisp as a retina display.
blewisjr commented on evolutional's blog entry in evolutional.co.ukI follow a style similar to Google's style but slightly different probably due to my C and Java roots. Namespaces are done in Pascal case. Class Names are in Pascal case. Interfaces (abstract) use the I + Pascal case. Variables are all lowercase separated by _ but typically tend to be short and sweet names. Functions/Methods are all lowercase separated by _ and again short and sweet. so you tend to get something like this... In C++ I typically would not use properties unless the variable is read only or if I need to do some background checking on the data first coming in. Otherwise I would just expose the variable directly as being public. namespace MyProject { class Bar { public: virtual ~Bar() {} }; class Foo: public Bar { public: void action(int param); int data(); void set_data(int val); }; }
blewisjr posted a blog entry in Ramblings of a partialy sane programmerThis is a rather short blog post. I have had some ideas for a project recently with some of the various endeavors I have been contemplating. One of these endeavors is either a desktop application or web application not sure which but I think it makes more sense as a desktop application due to it's purpose. When I was thinking about the project I new I would want it cross platform so my real choices would be either Java or C++. I never made a GUI application in C++ before so I said let me modernize my java install and upgrade to IntelliJ Idea 13.1. Oh by the way IntelliJ idea is worth every penny. If you develop in Java you should really spend the $200 and pick up a personal license which can be used for commercial applications. Really great IDE and I can't wait to see what they do with their C++ ide they are working on. Jetbrains makes amazing tools. So I upgraded everything to Java 8 and decided to make a quick and simple GUI application and use Java 8 features. I will say one thing Java should have added Lambda's a long time ago... With this in mind the following Swing code turns from this... [code=java:1]import javax.swing.*;import java.awt.event.*;import java.awt.*;public class TestGui extends JFrame { private JButton btnHello = new JButton("Hello"); public TestGui() { super("Test GUI"); getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout()); getContentPane().add(btnHello); btnHello.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { @Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { System.out.println("Hello World"); } }); setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setSize(300, 100); setLocationRelativeTo(null); } public static void main(String[] args) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { new TestGui().setVisible(true); } }); }} to this... [code=java:1]import javax.swing.*;import java.awt.*;public class TestGui extends JFrame { private JButton btnHello = new JButton("Hello"); public TestGui() { super("Test GUI"); getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout()); getContentPane().add(btnHello); btnHello.addActionListener(e -> System.out.println("Hello World")); setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setSize(300, 100); setLocationRelativeTo(null); } public static void main(String[] args) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> new TestGui().setVisible(true)); }} So much more elegant and readable I think Oracle just really hooked me back on Java with just this one feature.
blewisjr replied to RaoulJWZ's topic in For BeginnersI agree with most of the comments here. C/C++ are great to learn to use but they are fazing out in a lot of more common areas. They still have their place and will probably have their place for a very long time yet to come. Learning will make you a better programmer overall even in more modern languages. For games you really do not need C++ or C. There are lots of great technologies out there today that are beyond capable of keeping up. Heck even today much of the games you play are done with scripting languages and those languages hook into the C++ rendering engine on the backend. The main reason I say C/C++ will be for around for a long time is mainly because of specific areas like kernel development as well as embedded micro controller development. Sure there are new languages coming out that are compiled to machine code like Google's Go. The big downfall of those types of languages is the lack of direct memory access through pointers and direct interfacing with assembly code. In the world of Kernels and embedded micro controller (think ARM Cortex M, PIC, AVR) you really need that otherwise you can't really do anything without extreme C interfacing hoops. Some of those chips are so tiny in memory you would be lucky to get a runtime driven language on them. These are extreme cases. So in the end if you are learning your first language I would recommend it not be C++. I would rather see a new programmer on their first language use pure C, C#, Java, or Python. C is a very simple language to learn and will let you learn some really useful concepts this is still my all time favorite language. C#, Java, and Python are also relatively simple languages that rule out memory management and will allow you to focus on core algorithm concepts. Choose something you want to choose not what everyone forces you to choose and stick with it for a while before moving on. Every language you learn will teach you something new.
blewisjr replied to tmer1's topic in For BeginnersNow that would be a sight to behold, my tutor scolded me for trying Lazarus instead of Delphi (I had a linux box so Delphi wasn't an option). Heh I had a teacher scold me for using GCC + Makefiles + Vim in my C++ class because it was all I had available at the time due to a computer explosion. Apparently Visual Studio is the only way to write C/C++ now a days in school.

Report N1 (added on August, 18, 2014)
I knew this was a scammer right away. Why would a 26 year old model type hit me up and fall in love in the second email. But I must admit I like toying with these losers. I string them along with using the $$$ as a carrot before the cart. I will say that I will send $1500.00 and then make up crap why the delay. I tell them to hold up a poster saying, I love you, Marc on it. And they totally ignore that request or say that they are having it professionally done and it will take time but they need the money before.
Why do it? I figure any time I make them chasing me is less time that they will scam some poor unfortunate person. I try to make them run all over the city too.

I spend an awful lot of my waking hours reading the news, following the discussion on Twitter, and having conversations with my publishing colleagues. Part of this is just a natural curiosity about the world, but part of it is a deliberate attempt to find new book ideas. During a biweekly staff meeting, we all come to the table with ideas that we have and discuss their merits, trying to figure out if some person, topic or new item is, indeed, a book. Mostly we're thinking about nonfiction. Some of the ideas are clear and ready for a writer, while others may be interesting, but aren't quite a book. Some need a new twist or spin that we figure out during our discussion, or a small idea may lead to something bigger.
But more interestingly, I think, is when a story prompts an idea for a novel. An author of mine has a book coming out next month that was inspired by an article I read–several times–and became obsessed with. And just today an author of mine tweeted about a story she found that is the perfect inspiration for a novel. I couldn't agree with her more; the story is mysterious and rich and calls for exploration. I can't wait to see what she does with it. I have to admit: I have a fondness for "ripped from the headlines" stories, so if you've got those, send them my way!
Are there any stories you'd dying to see fictionalized? And as writers, do you draw from the news when dreaming up new ideas?

Fenves, Perrin, Strong, Traylor, Gilbert and his agent as well as Tulsa co-OC Matt Mattox met for roughly two hours Friday night, cleared up prior confusion over differing contract terms offered to Gilbert, and came away with both Gilbert and Mattox headed to Austin.
Gilbert will be introduced as Texas' new offensive coordinator on Saturday, sources said.
After word got out that Gilbert had turned down Texas on Friday, the reaction on social media to the drama was that Strong wasn't getting the support he needed from the administration - financially or otherwise - to hire a new offensive coordinator. And Fenves responded by posting a tweet from his account - @gregfenves - that said:
I fully support Charlie Strong. I am committed to helping him move Longhorn Football forward.
Fenves spokesman Gary Susswein told HD, "Any suggestion that Greg Fenves and the UT administration are not supporting Strong fully in his search for an offensive coordinator is just fiction." Those comments were followed by a chorus of criticism directed at Fenves, calling for him to back up his words with actions.
Next thing you knew, a plane was being chartered to Tulsa.
After what appeared to be an agreement in principle that would have made Gilbert the new offensive coordinator at Texas, there appeared to have been complete confusion about the length and terms of the guaranteed contract Gilbert was promised, sources close to the situation told HD.
According to the sources, Gilbert had a great interview with Strong on Wednesday and left feeling good about things. The sources said associate athletic director Arthur Johnson told Gilbert's agent the job called for a three-year guaranteed contract worth between $650,000 and $750,000 per year. But then Strong - apparently not knowing what Johnson had told Gilbert's agent - offered Gilbert a two-year guaranteed contract worth $650,000 per year - sources said.
The confusion over the contract terms, among other things, caused Gilbert to turn down the job on Friday, sources said. Gilbert's concerns also included that Gilbert's preferred offensive line coach, Matt Mattox, Gilbert's current co-OC at Tulsa, was reluctant to go to Texas, sources said.
But a plane full of UT brass to Tulsa, led by Fenves, got the matter cleared up.
Gilbert, 37, a graduate assistant under Art Briles at Houston in 2005 and an OC under Dino Babers at Eastern Illinois (2012-13) and Bowling Green (2014) before becoming co-OC under Philip Montgomery at Tulsa (2015), didn't immediately respond to text messages. Nor did UT athletics officials.
The drama with Gilbert Friday followed Strong and Texas being turned down by TCU co-OC Sonny Cumbie. Strong also interviewed Cal offensive coordinator Tony Franklin as part of his search.
Sources said among Cumbie's concerns were that he would need more than one season to turn around Texas' offense and thus wanted a three-year, guaranteed deal at more than $1 million.
Gilbert's decision to first turn down Texas and then agree to turn around Texas - and the flight carrying the UT contingent to Tulsa - came as the Longhorns are hosting several key, 2016 recruits on official visits this weekend, including Shane Buechele, Scout's top QB in the state of Texas for 2016, who is currently committed to the Longhorns.
Strong is turning to Gilbert, an Art Briles' disciple, to help Texas - ranked eighth of 10 teams in the Big 12 in scoring (26.4 points per game) and dead last in passing (145.9 ypg) - join the league's offensive arms race.
Five of the nation's top scoring offenses this season are from the Big 12, including top-ranked Baylor (48 ppg).
It was as a graduate assistant under Briles at Houston in 2005 that Gilbert honed his offensive philosophy.
Gilbert, 37, who has extensive ties to Texas, is considered an excellent recruiter. He helped run the offense for Tulsa coach (and former Baylor OC) Philip Montgomery this season and spent three years as co-OC/QB coach under Dino Babers at Eastern Illinois and Bowling Green.
Gilbert gained the reputation as a rising star offensive coordinator while OC/QB coach under Babers at Eastern Illinois in 2012 and 2013, helping to develop QB Jimmy Garappolo into an NFL draft pick.
In 2013, Gilbert's second year at EIU, the offense led FCS in yards (589.5 - 372.4 passing/217.1 rushing) and points per game (48.2) while earning honors as FCS coordinator of the year.
Garappolo won the 2013 Walter Payton Award (FCS' version of the Heisman Trophy) after passing for 5,050 yards and 53 touchdowns. In two seasons under Gilbert, Garappolo threw for 8,873 yards and 84 TDs.
This past sesaon at Tulsa, Gilbert helped the Golden Hurricane average 35.9 ppg in a 7-5 season as junior QB Dane Evans completed 63 percent of his passes while throwing for 3,958 yards with 22 TDs and 8 INTs.
In 2014, Gilbert was co-OC/QB coach for Bowling Green's Dino Babers, averaging 30.0 ppg and 433 yards per game (173 ypg rushing/260 ypg passing) in an 8-6 season. Babers called the plays.
Gilbert was an all-state high school QB from San Angelo who went on to all-conference honors at Division II Angelo State. He started his coaching career as an assistant at Temple, Abilene Cooper and Springtown before getting a head-coaching gig at San Angelo Lake View, where he was named West Texas High School coach of the year in 2008.
Strong interviewed TCU co-OC/QB coach Sonny Cumbie on Sunday and Monday, offering Cumbie the job. But negotiations broke down late Tuesday, and Gilbert was flown to Austin to meet with Strong on Wednesday morning. HornsDigest.com reported Saturday that Strong planned to interview both Cumbie and Gilbert.
Cumbie was part of the transformation at TCU (with play-caller Doug Meacham) that Strong is hoping to emulate at Texas.
Cumbie and Meacham took an offense on a 4-8 team that averaged 25.1 points per game in 2013 and turned it into one that averaged 46.5 points per game for a 12-1 team in 2014. Cumbie had also proven himself as a top recruiter in Texas, helping get commitments in 2016 from QB Brennen Wooten and in 2017 from 5-star Shawn Robinson.
But it can be argued Gilbert is a better fit offensively for who Strong is and what Strong wants from his offense: to run the ball.
Briles' version of the spread greatly values the importance of a traditional running game that uses tight ends and a fullback - the way Texas did with Jeff Traylor's help this season. The spread Gilbert coaches also emphasizes the vertical passing game and values speed at receiver.
That commitment to the running game is not always a staple of the Mike Leach/Air Raid, which, in its truest form, uses the pass to set up the run.
Those who have worked with Gilbert say he's as passionate, confident and competitive an offensive coordinator as you could possibly want - and that pertains to the recruiting trail as well.
They said it's just that Gilbert hasn't had a brand like Texas to take to the recruiting trail the way Cumbie has had in recruiting for Texas Tech and TCU.
I'm told Gilbert and Texas run-game coordinator Jeff Traylor are familiar with each other and would work well together. Keep an eye on Tulsa co-OC/offensive line coach Matt Mattox as a possible staff addition.
Strong will have to completely turn things over offensively to Gilbert, who is in his early 30s, the same way Strong would have with Cumbie, 34, (and the same way Gary Patterson did with Cumbie and Meacham at TCU). For Strong, that means changing the way Texas currently practices in order to maximize the speed and tempo of the offense.
Gilbert's offense is a philosophical change that needs to be taught by guys who live it and breathe it. But those close to Gilbert say he likes Texas' personnel, including its current QBs, and that Strong and Texas fans will be surprised how quickly Gilbert will be able to transform it into a high-scoring machine.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have my children more than my ex. Without my knowledge she recently filed and claimed them but I have them most of the time. Is there a way I can claim them and get her in trouble?
You can claim the children, provided it is not stipulated in any State court documents that you cannot. Follow any state court documents to the letter. In the absence of this, the parent that has the child for the majority of the year gets to claim them. But you have to prove they live with you. Court documents and letters from a school near the home pertaining to the child are very good evidence. But you have no control over whether your ex files her taxes correctly. You merely have a duty to do yours correctly. So if you know you are right, I would claim the child.
The only thing that really works against you is that in our society the mother always seems to have the presumption of custody. I would not be the least bit surprised if they contacted you as opposed to her and made you prove it. It isn't supposed to work that way, but my guess is it will. All you can do is be ready to prove it.
Christopher Larson
Insight Law
In your situation, absent a court decree to the contrary, you would receive the deduction as the custodial parent. Claim the deduction on your return. If she already did this you will need to paper file the return. The IRS will then ask both or you to explain your positions, and assuming that you have documentation to show you had the children for the majority of the time, you will win.
I have foodstamps and Medicaid filed for them in my name and she doesn't even have a bed for them in jet apartment. Would any of those documents help me?

I have foodstamps and Medicaid filed for them in my name and she doesn't even have a bed for them in jet apartment. Would any of those documents help me?
Anything that shows they live with you helps. It will basically come down to who can produce the most convincing evidence. If the custody order states one way or the other, that will be very convincing evidence. In the absence of that, it will come down to who can produce the most credible evidence that the child lives with them most of the time. Food stamps and Medicaid definitely establishes this.
I agree with Mr. Larson. You will probably be audited if you claim your children because the social security numbers of your children will show up on two tax returns, and the IRS computers pick up on this. You will need to substantiate with documents that the children live with you most of the year, and you contribute to their support more than your ex.

I agree with my colleagues on this question. One additional point, if your children are in fact with you "most of the time" you may want to bring this matter before the Judge in your dissolution case. This is a common issue that can cause much anger and frustration. Therefore, making sure there is an order outlining the duties, responsibilities and benefits (tax deduction) exists will make your life (and your kid's life) much easier. Divorce is hard enough.
I hope this helps.

When you claim them, the IRS will send a letter to you & your ex asking for facts to support your positions. You will have to gather the evidence necessary to prove that the kids stayed with you longer than her.
Get the custody agreement and any proof you have that the children stayed with you for the majority of the year. You can use medical records, school records, insurance or church records showing the residence and longevity of the stay.

LARAMIE, Wyo. - For the third consecutive week, a Cowboy diver has been selected as the Mountain West Conference's Diver of the Week. Tyler Miller received the award on Wednesday after a great showing at last weekend's Air Force Diving Invite.
Miller, a junior from Greeley, Colo., was the highest-placing MWC diver in both springboard events at the 2008 Air Force Diving Invitational. He placed third in the one-meter and three-meter events and also finished second in the platform event. In the one-meter dive he turned in a score of 287.15, while collecting 295.70 points in the three-meter dive. Both scores were personal-bests. In the platform he scored a season-best 247.05. This is the first weekly honor of Miller's career.

I need the realistic appearance of an ultrasound applied to non medical things like landscapes, and vehicles. The fan shape is easy enough but the strange texture is puzzling. Any ideas on how to use Max and/or V-Ray to turn an image into a sonogram?
This is the look I'm going for: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...bDYyiqQGxjYCYDA

- 1 large onion, quartered
- 1 leek, halved lengthwise
- 1 fennel bulb, quartered
- 1 large carrot, quartered
- 1 garlic head, halved horizontally
- 3 thyme sprigs
- 3 parsley sprigs
- 3 rosemary sprigs
- 1 fresh bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- One 8-pound semi-boneless leg of lamb (aitch bone removed)
- Salt
- 2 quarts chicken stock or low-sodium broth
Preheat the oven to 500°. In a roasting pan that's large enough to hold the lamb, spread out the vegetables, herbs and peppercorns. Season the lamb generously with salt. Set the lamb on top of the vegetables and roast for about 25 minutes, until the lamb is lightly browned.
Add the stock to the pan and cover the pan with foil. Reduce the oven temperature to 300° and braise the lamb for 2 hours. Uncover the lamb and cook for 1 hour longer, until deeply browned on top and the meat is very tender. Let the lamb rest in the juices for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a carving board. Strain the cooking juices, discarding the solids, and spoon off the fat. Slice the lamb 1/4 inch thick and serve with some of the cooking juices.

What are the best places to shop for back to school supplies?
Have you found any great deals this year for back to school supplies?
Spencers had (maybe still do) their back packs 50% off. I know Walmart had some deals but I stay away from there for sanity's sake. Usually we hit Target up but last year they had a terrible selection.
Where do or did you shop this year for back to school stuff?
depending where you are I would say jc Penney, sears, or target are some good places. A tip though I would suggest waiting until classes start because last year we spent a ton on supplies just to find out they didn't need half of what we bought but they did need other items. So unless the school has given you a list of items that you need, wait until the first day or two than you will know exactly what you need. Other than of course backpack paper or notebooks pens or pencils.
I saw some adorable backpacks in Spencers. Wal-Mart usually has pretty good prices, and sometimes Office Max (or is it Depot? I get them confused) runs some really good specials.
I got Mini's back pack there, she picked out a Pikachu one. Yes, my 16 year old wanted a Pikachu back pack, lol.

2008 Boys Baseball Rankings: May 22
For the first time this season, the No. 1 high school baseball team in the ESPN HIGH Elite 25 rankings upheld that position.
Top-ranked Plano West (Texas) improved to 34-0, sweeping a pair of best-of-three series in the Texas Class 5A playoffs. The Wolves play in the Class 5A region semifinal series this weekend.
Kudos to 10 state champions in the Elite 25, including three from Florida: No. 2 American Heritage (Plantation, Fla.); No. 5 Owasso (Okla.); No. 6 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas); No. 10 Lake Brantley (Altamonte Springs, Fla.); No. 11 Barbe (Lake Charles, La.); No. 17 Paul VI (Fairfax, Va.); No. 20 Fayetteville (Ark.); No. 21 Bishop Kenny (Jacksonville, Fla.); No. 22 Sperry (Okla.); and No. 23 Chaparral (Scottsdale, Ariz.).
Six teams debut in the Elite 25 rankings, headed by No. 13 Rowlett (Texas).
Most of the nation is in the postseason or finished with their seasons. The California sections will conclude over the next two weekends, with four teams vying in the Southern Section and one in the San Diego (California schools do not play for a state championship).
No. 8 Farragut (Knoxville, Tenn.) will wrap its campaign this week in the Class AAA double-elimination tournament.
Texas still has three rounds of playoff series to go, culminating June 6-7 in Austin.
The Elite 25 rankings, which appear bi-weekly, have 13 teams from the Southland Region, while the West contributes six. The next rankings are June 5, with the final ones on June 19.
Triple Play
Player of the week: First baseman Daniel Zaunbrecher of No. 11 Barbe (Lake Charles, La.) sizzled in Louisiana's large-classification (5A) postseason, hitting .616 with a .643 on-base percentage.
Zaunbrecher, a 6-0, 170-pound senior, added two home runs and nine RBI in five games as the Buccaneers won the 5A state championship. Zaunbrecher was an integral part of an offensive-oriented club that batted .379 in 42 games. He will enroll at national powerhouse Louisiana State, looking to make the roster as a walk-on.
Pitcher of the week: Right-hander Ryan Doiron of No. 11 Barbe (Lake Charles, La.) proved invaluable in five Class 5A playoff games. Doiron went 4-0 with a save and three complete games, striking out 31 and allowing 21 hits in 23 innings as Barbe captured its fifth state championship since 1998. He also pitched five innings in the final, picking up the victory and producing the game-winning run against Jesuit (New Orleans). Doiron, a 6-0, 175-pound Tulane signee, went 11-1 (11-0 as a starter) with two saves and a 1.17 earned run average. He allowed 44 hits and 16 walks and struck out 95 in 72 innings this season. He batted .303 with eight home runs and 42 runs batted in and scored 45 runs. He is expected to be selected in the upcoming First-Year Player Draft.
Must-see: To get a taste of big-time prep baseball in a major-league setting, head to Washington's Class 4A and 3A state tournaments Friday at Safeco Field in Seattle.
A 4A semifinal doubleheader includes regionally-ranked Richland (23-1) against Kentlake (Kent) at 7 p.m. ET. Snohomish and Olympia tangle in the other semifinal at 10 p.m. The 4A final Saturday at 10 p.m.
Jeremy Barwick and Kevin Lathim each homered and Cody Sheppard recorded the victory as Richland crushed Redmond 11-5 in the 4A quarterfinals.
Additionally, the 3A tournament opens Friday morning at Safeco, with two matchups: Issaquah-Kennewick and Meadowdale (Lynnwood)-Kelso. The final is also Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. -- Christopher Lawlor

Zamalek announced that they will be paying for AC Léopards' Rudy Bhebey Ndey treatment expenses following his severe injury in Sunday's game in the the African Confederation Cup.
Ndey was one-on-one with the Whites goalkeeper Ahmed El-Shennawy before the latter charged to clear the ball. The 29-year-old striker then took a wrong jump following a tackle by E-Shennawy that led to him falling almost completely vertically on his head.
The impact lead to a spinal cord concussion, a fifth cervical vertebra dislocation and bruises to the spinal cord and the sixth cervical vertebrae.
The player suffered form quadriplegia when he arrived at the hospital. Emergency intervention was done to save the player's life, however, the treating doctor could not confirm the player's status after recovery.
Zamalek board announced that the club will be enduring any medical expenses the player requires. Team captain Hazem Emam also said that the whole squad will be visiting the player at the hospital.

Interior: Open Living
Thinking of and considering space a great deal lately, and in particular, how it is utilized and organized, I came across this intriguing home and wished to share. Before we discuss the space and details, I couldn't decide which catches the attention first—the table, stairs or window on the right. There seems to be a harmonious pull around the space that glides the eye around and through. A little masculine, a little soft, and a great deal of lines to appreciate. What are your thoughts on this space?

Love the transparent stair case railing.
My thought was that a 'small' person can enter this space and he/she will be able as a 'large' person to go out the window(s)...
Funny construction and proportions.
Enjoy your Sunday!
That is so true, Mariette!ReplyDelete
