Pharmaceutical companies Acceleron Pharma and Shire have put the myostatin inhibitor ACE-031 on hold. They made an announcement about this in a joint press release recently [ May 2, 2013]. A strange development, as a few weeks previously Muscle & Nerve published a study that shows that ACE-031 is stuff that anyone who considers themself to be a chemical bodybuilder would be happy to be able to afford.

Injectable ACE-031 – an underground example is shown above – is a synthetic activin receptor type IIB. Muscle cells have this receptor too: it’s intended for proteins like myostatin, GDF11 and activin A and B. If myostatin attaches itself to an activin receptor type IIB, then the growth of muscle fibres is inhibited. Under the ‘right’ conditions myostatin actually breaks down muscle.

If you inject ACE-031 this doesn’t happen at all. The synthetic activin receptor type IIB filters out the muscle inhibiting proteins and deactivates them.

In 2007 Acceleron Pharma still had high expectations for ACE-031. At that point the company only had animal studies to back them up. But in 2013 they published the results of a human study, in which 48 healthy women aged from 45-75 had been given a single injection containing 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 1 or 3 mg ACE-031 per kg bodyweight. The substance remained in circulation in the body for a number of weeks: the half-life was 10-15 days.

But the single injection did lead to muscle growth. The 3-mg/kg dose led to an increase in muscle of volume of 5 percent, it boosted lean body mass by 3 percent [just over a kilogram], and seemed to also reduce fat mass.

The injection reduced the leptin concentration and boosted that of adiponectin. This would suggest that ACE-031 breaks down fat mass.

Moreover, the myostatin inhibitor boosted the concentration of bone specific alkaline phosphatase [BSAP] in the blood and reduced that of C-terminal type 1 collagen telopeptide [CTX]. This would suggest that ACE-031 strengthens bones. Acceleron has demonstrated these effects in animal studies using RAP-031, the mouse variant of ACE-031. [Endocrinology. 2010 Sep; 151(9): 4289-300.]

If you read the article in Muscle & Nerve you wonder why Acceleron has put the development of ACE-031 on hold. And why it doesn’t declare war on the web-shop owners who happily ignore Acceleron’s patents and sell ACE-031 for prices that no ordinary pharmaceuticals company can compete with.

The answer is in a post on the website of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. [ May 2, 2013] This describes a trial [NCT01099761] performed in 2011 in which researchers gave ACE-031 to children with muscular dystrophy. During the trial side effects emerged and the researchers had to stop the study.

“The adverse events that the trial participants experienced — minor nose and gum bleeding and dilation of blood vessels in the skin — were not, in and of themselves, considered dangerous. However, the companies and regulatory agencies involved say they need to fully understand these events before continuing clinical studies of ACE-031.”

Some other strange side effects also came to light in the study published in Muscle & Nerve. ACE-031 caused the concentration of FSH in the women subjects to plummet. How this happened, and what the effects of this might be, the researchers don’t know.

Research on MYO-029, Wyeth’s myostatin blocker, is not going anywhere either. In 2008 disappointing results of a trial with MYO-029 were published, in which adults with muscular dystrophy gained no strength at all. [Ann Neurol. 2008 May; 63(5): 561-71.] After that Wyeth stopped developing MYO-029.

A single ascending-dose study of muscle regulator ACE-031 in healthy volunteers.

Attie KM, Borgstein NG, Yang Y, Condon CH, Wilson DM, Pearsall AE, Kumar R, Willins DA, Seehra JS, Sherman ML.

Department of Medical Research, Acceleron Pharma, Inc., 128 Sidney Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA.

ACE-031 is a soluble form of activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB). ACE-031 promotes muscle growth by binding to myostatin and other negative regulators of muscle mass.

This double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ACE-031 in 48 healthy, postmenopausal women randomized to receive 1 dose of ACE-031 (0.02-3 mg/kg s.c.) or placebo (3:1).

ACE-031 was generally well-tolerated. Adverse events included injection site erythema. Mean ACE-031 AUC(0-∞) and C(max) increased linearly with dose; mean T(½) was 10-15 days. Statistically significant increases in mean total body lean mass (3.3%; P = 0.03, by DXA) and thigh muscle volume (5.1%; P = 0.03, by MRI) were observed at day 29 in the 3 mg/kg group. Statistically significant changes in serum biomarkers suggest ACE-031 also improved bone and fat metabolism.

Single-dose ACE-031 treatment was generally well-tolerated and resulted in increases in muscle mass in healthy postmenopausal women.

Creating an Accessible Internet

By Mary Barros-Bailey <barrosm@micron.net>, Pauline G. Aguilar
<copper11@aol.com>, and Michael R. Burks <mburks952@att.net>

The Internet as a source of information is growing at a rate almost beyond comprehension. It is without question the greatest and most accessible collection of resources in history. And though it is widely accepted that navigating the seemingly endless resources contained on the Internet is no easy feat for even the most experienced Internet user, for those with disabilities, the challenges are especially daunting. While the most formidable task today may be presenting information in a manner that meets the accessibility needs of people using screen readers, the overarching issue is making everything on the Internet usable by the widest audience possible.

This article discusses the ongoing work of Mary Barros-Bailey, Michael R. Burks, and Pauline Aguilar. Barros-Bailey is the author of the book Internet Disabilities Resources, an extensive and exhaustive collection of disability resources available on the Internet. The first part of this article reflects the efforts and techniques Barros-Bailey used to write her book. The second and third parts reflect the efforts of Pauline Aguilar, who, with the help of Michael Burks, is creating a database of disabilities resources on the Internet.

Collecting the Resources
By Mary Barros-Bailey

Several years ago, when I was beginning to conduct extensive research on Internet resources for people with disabilities, I encountered a man with severe cerebral palsy who had just entered the so-called cyberworld. His disability rendered him nonverbal and immobile without assistance. His writing revealed him to be bright and articulate. He had at some point obtained a journalism degree, but had not worked in that field or any other field. His passion was history.

His entrance onto the Internet opened doors and allowed him to walk through them in ways he never dreamed possible. He could now walk through any number of museums in the world, tour places of great historical significance, and communicate with people from Buffalo to Bangkok. This new world, which many of us without disabilities take for granted, was to him nothing short of utopia. Those on the receiving end of his electronic communications judge him by the merit of his writing—his strength—and not by the way he looks and what he cannot do. On the Internet, people do not steal uncomfortable glances at him, treat him like a child, or ignore him because they are unable to deal with his disability. He is on equal footing with everyone else.

Or is he? The opportunities the Internet provides for people with disabilities are truly amazing. And yet, accessibility issues persist. Because of his spasticity and functional limitations, my friend had considerable difficulty typing. A simple e-mail message could take 10 minutes or longer to compose. From his very small town in northern Idaho, he not only faced issues within the new medium, but he also had little knowledge about how to get around them. I referred him to an assistive-technology center in Spokane, Washington, where he could get help finding better equipment to assist him in more comfortably striding through the halls of the National Archives from his wheelchair.

While I am not a technologist, I care about making the world as accessible to my mother with mobility impairments, my niece with learning disabilities, or my client with traumatic brain injuries as it is for me. Often, when I speak before peers, I finish my presentation by emphasizing Internet accessibility. My peers deal with accessibility issues and accommodations or retrofitting daily because of their work as vocational rehabilitation counselors, rehabilitation nurses, or life-care planners. Yet, they are somehow baffled by the notion that accessibility issues are present on the Internet.

In collecting data on Internet disability resources, one must be as intuitive as possible. In collecting our data, we considered some of the most common disability types, such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. First, within each category, we considered the kinds of resources on the Internet that existed for each category. We found sites dealing with the whole ball of wax—megasites where a wide range of information about the disability could be found—along with links to other sites. Then we listed general information sites that might not have lots of links to other places on the Net about the disability, but which provide plenty of in-depth information about a disability type. Of course, it was important to list advocacy organizations as well as research and treatment centers. In each category, we distinguished among sites throughout the world.

Apart from researching specific disabilities, we looked at the complete lifestyle of a person living with a disability and identified resources covering a wide range of important issues, such as assistive technology, employment resources, education, leisure, and recreation. Finally, we wanted to provide a way for individuals to quickly find information related to disabilities and came up with sites on government, research, and statistics resources as well as a list of more than 700 online publications, newsgroups, and mailing lists.

It is commonly accepted that there are three types of accessibility issues: hardware, software, and economics. To that I would add one more: search accessibility. There exists a level of frustration, and sometimes resentment, toward the Internet by those who feel that the information contained within it is overwhelming and often inaccessible in the form it is presented. In helping people steer around this particular accessibility issue, my presentations tend to have a greater focus on HTML field search techniques—such as url, domain:, image:, title:, link:, and host:—which I have found to be an effective way for compiling data on the Internet.

In addition, continued education on issues of accessibility uses for anyone dealing with the Internet—from the programmer to the end user, to the legislator, to the family member or caregiver of the person with a disability—is vitally important. Without recognition that there are problems, little will occur to ameliorate those problems.

On the merits of the Internet, shortly after publication of Internet Disabilities Resources, the publisher received a call from the father of a high school student suffering from tar syndrome. The family was having difficulty finding college scholarships for their daughter because of their income level. They had searched and researched many resources, but they were unable to find much. Somehow, they heard about the publication and were able to find within the education chapter the financial aid sources they sought.

In a small, direct, or indirect way, allowing those who need the resources to access them quickly, effectively, and effortlessly should be our goal.

Organizing the Resources
By Pauline Aguilar

The process of organizing disability resources on the Internet begins with gathering those resources and setting up ways for people to submit resources to a database. The next step is the organization of the resources themselves into two parts: virtual organization and physical origination. Both are integral to collecting and presenting resources. They affect both the storage of the resources in the database as well as the retrieval and presentation of the resources to the user. Since the presentation of the resources will be controlled by the user and the search engine may be masked, this part of the process is perhaps the most critical.

Virtual Organization

Great care must be taken so that the techniques used to organize the resources as well as the organizational structure itself are not subject to change. For example, as new resources are added and new types of categories appear, or as new presentation strategies emerge, consideration must be taken to shift the ways the resources are organized. Resources must be stored and categorized so they may be organized in multiple ways and included in multiple categories.

To accomplish this, the resources may be formatted and stored using XML or eXtensible Markup Language. A special DTD is under development to address the specifics of storage, retrieval, and presentation of the disability resources. This DTD will allow for presentation of the resources not only in a visual manner but through the use of other media as well. The use of this DTD allows for future expansion of the organization of the resources and for flexible expandable retrieval techniques.

Organization of the resources should be tied closely to both the existing categories of resources as they appear on the Internet and the needs of the user community that will retrieve the resources. The resources that we will be dealing with fall into two general categories:

Internet resource categories. These include such things as newsgroups, mailing lists, Web-based bulletin boards, Web pages and Web sites, chat groups, electronic news sources, and electronic and hard-copy newsletters. Those resources serve not only as focal points for users to gather information but also as signposts for the changes occurring in the disabilities community. These are the source categories for the content and provide the basic content of the site.

Content categories. The content categories provide the means by which the site is organized. The categories are supplied at the time of storage in the database by means of special tagging procedures provided in the XML DTD. This is designed such that it will be flexible and changeable. It is critical to the operation of the system. It must be able to change with the changes on the Internet and adapt to new types of content and presentation.

Physical Organization

There are several issues involved with physical organization of the system. Actual physical organization of the data is done by means of a database manager and the user of special keyword tags implemented in the XML DTD. The tags allow the data to be stored, searched, and retrieved.

Storage issues

Each document that is stored will be one of two types: either a pointer document that contains a link to the resource or a summary document that describes an offline resource that is available to the disabilities community but has no other Internet presence besides the entry in the database. The keywords that are placed in the documents will be placed at storage time and will help make search, retrieval, and presentation of the resources both accessible and easy. The system will allow modification and addition of the keywords as needs arise.

Search and Retrieval Issues

One of the most difficult issues on the Internet today concerns effective searching strategies and techniques. How do you search such that the results are truly relevant, and how do you ensure that you are not overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the results returned? The keyword storage technique is designed to facilitate quick and accurate searching of the stored resources. In addition, a dynamic thesaurus can track all variations of keywords.

Another important consideration lies in helping the user create a search, or create a search that does not appear to be a search. Bear in mind that many of those who will use the system will have accessibility issues. The search itself must be accessible, or the system will lose its utility to the one of the most important segments of the audience we are trying to reach. This issue will be dealt with by means of both accessible-forms-based searching and searching by way of drill-down questioning. While the second method is not as flexible as the first, it does offer those who have trouble with forms an easier method of conduction of a search. Since all results will be dynamically produced from stored data, the resources that are presented to the user will be from the latest information available at all times.

Presentation Issues

Storage and retrieval of the data are closely linked to presentation of the information to the user. An organizational schema that is flexible enough to change and stable enough to allow the user to conduct an effective search will provide the basis for accessible presentation of the information. If users do not have relevant information related to what they are looking for, the presentation will make little or no difference. So this can be considered to be the solid base upon which accessible presentation of the information will rest.

Presenting the Resources
By Michael R. Burks

Universal design principles (UDPs) declare that the presentation of information should be accessible to as many people as possible. Since it is intended that information be presented in an international arena, those principals can be defined as including non-English speakers.

As part of the functionality of the database of disabilities resources on the Internet we are developing, users will be given the option of choosing the way they wish information to be presented. In effect the user will choose the view of the data, including format and visual or nonvisual forms of presentation. Eventually, users will choose from a set of delivery options, such as fax, hard copy, Web pages, or e-mail format tailored to specific devices such as screen readers or devices producing Braille output. The system will be further designed to interoperate with devices not yet developed. Within Web pages, the system will deliver specific formats selected by the user. For example, the Web format will allow users to decide if they want graphics or if they want the screen formatted for auditory output and how they want the output on the screen to appear. The initial version of the system will focus on producing Web-based output. This output will be usable by a wide range of Web browsers, but as the implementation proceeds, other delivery channels will be developed.

Many of the issues we are dealing with are general presentation issues, such as text size and placement, practical ways for users to get the presentation they desire, and how to present searches so as not to confuse and confound users. One of the challenges will be to present information dynamically but in a timely manner. The system must be able to produce output for existing channels, and it must be able to evolve with the appearance of entirely new information channels. The basic challenges are usability, flexibility, and scalability. This will be achieved by separating the content from the presentation. Information will be stored in the database. The use of XML and other technologies will allow it to be searched, retrieved, and presented according to user preferences.

Disability Issues

It is readily apparent that on a site dedicated to collecting, organizing, and presenting disabilities resources on the Internet, those resources must be accessible to all. As obvious as this may seem, a surprising number of sites dedicated to providing resources for people with disabilities are themselves not accessible to all. Part of the mission of this system is to present resources in such a manner.

Language Issues

Just as important as presenting the resources in an accessible manner is the issue of presenting the resources in the user’s language. Initially, the site will be implemented in English. However, we aim to offer other languages as quickly as possible.

Implementation Issues

Actual presentation of the information to the users will be driven by a three-tiered process. A user’s search command will result in resources’ being extracted from the database. That information will be converted into XML for those browsers that support XML and converted into HTML for those browsers that do not. For those who can use them, style sheets will be implemented to support the various types of presentation. There will also be a means to define the user’s preferences for browsers that do not support style sheets. They will then be sent to the user’s client software for final processing and presentation to the user.

As soon as possible, the resources will be translated into other languages. Initially, this will be a manual process. As translation technology improves, the process will become automated.

User Issues

There are a number of issues that are specific to the way information will be presented by the user’s client software.

As much as possible, users will define the way data is presented. This will allow them to choose the way they wish to have data presented and the means by which it will be presented, such as visual, auditory, or tactile. Some of these will have subcategories that will allow further definition by the user. They will also allow the system to implement new presentation methods as they appear.

There are several factors to be considered when processing information for presentation to the user.

The User’s Software

It must be considered that the user may be using something other than a standard Web browser. The system will be flexible enough to accommodate as many different types of access as possible, and it will be set up to add new ones as they appear.

The Format the User Requests

Different formats will require different types of processing. Even in the limited world of Web browsers there are myriad different formats that can be used to present information. All of those must be taken into account from the user preferences and the output must be built to adhere to what the user has requested. This will be done using a user’s preferences as the user has them, and the format and style will be built dynamically from what the user has stated as needs.

The Means by Which the User Wishes Data to Be "Displayed"

The term display is deceptive. In this case, it does not refer simply to visual presentation of information, but presentation of requested information by any available means. This can include visual, tactile, or auditory. It can also include a combination of those methods.

The Current Level of Technology

As technology evolves, this system will be designed to implement new and better methods of presentation as they appear. The system will be both upgradable and scalable to allow implementation of new technology in a manner that is as nonintrusive as possible. This will allow the system to accommodate new methods of presentation with little disruption to the current user base.

The Future

Developing technology offers great promise in the ways information can be presented. Such advancements are being leveraged into a system that will be able to present users with the resources they have requested and in the manner they have requested them. The technology will seek to reach as many people as possible in the ways they prefer or need. Users will be able to view information the way they prefer rather than the way designers require.

There is great need for a focused collection of Internet resources related to individuals with disabilities. While collections of disabilities resources do exist on the Internet, most are not set up to present output in a manner consistent with the user’s needs. There are few if any systems that are designed to adapt to rapidly changing presentation technology. The system discussed here seeks to address those issues. One of the purposes of the system used to present these resources is to give the user the control of the presentation. This will make information presented to the user accessible to the widest audience possible.

The Ten Commandments: Do not Covet

The Torah’s intention is to train the Jew that what is forbidden and prohibited is unattainable and therefore unthinkable.

Contact Editor
Rabbi Dr. Eliyahu Safran,

Ten Commandments
Ten Commandments

Everyone has rules.  Every society, culture, family and group.  Having rules and laws hardly makes one distinct.  From the ancient Laws of Hammurabi to English Common Law which, though not codified, has governed Britain since the twelfth century, laws have defined each and every society and culture on earth.

Yet, though every people who ever existed has had laws, it is Jews who have often been most associated with laws and rules.  And not unfairly.  After all, we are a people not simply contained by our laws but unified by our laws, or mitzvot.  Among the contributions that the world credits to us is the Ten Commandments, the bedrock rules that form the very foundation of civilization.

Jewish laws.

But are they really Jewish?  And if they are, how so?  To look at the list of the Ten Commandments, you could immediately pick out rules so embraced and encoded in every civilized group that it would be impossible to describe them as uniquely Jewish.   Most, if not all, civilized societies teach not to kill, steal, or commit adultery, preach honor for parents, and even institutionalize a day of rest.  Good laws.  Smart, practical laws.  Laws that allow individuals to form functional, successful groups and communities.  Hardly laws that could be called exclusively Jewish.

That is, when you consider the second through the ninth of these commandments.    These commandments are focused on behavior.  Not to have any other gods… not to take the name of God in vain… not to work on the Sabbath…  to honor… not to murder, commit adultery, steal or provide false witness.  Each a statement of behavior; what to do,  what not to do.  But when you consider the first and last of the commandments, you note something different.  It is how the first and last of the commandments differ from the other commandments that they define what it means for the Jew to have laws.

The first commandment is to believe in God, to know Him and to be cognizant of His everlasting presence. The last mitzvah forbids us from coveting, from  being “envious of a neighbor’s house, wife, slave, maid, ox, donkey, or anything else that is a neighbor’s.”

These two dibrot, the first and last, are mitzvot relating not to action but to mind and thought and in doing so define how and why these laws are not merely societal laws but Jewish laws.  They also give lie to the observation – too often an accusation – that Jews are a legalistic people, only concerned with rules.  On the contrary!  Judaism is not simply a body of legalisms, nor is Torah a compilation of beliefs and opinions. Judaism is a unified organism of philosophical-theological truths and legal obligations. It is precisely for this reason that Rambam opened his Yad-Hachazakah with the Halakhic principle that “the basic principle of all basic principles and the pillar of all sciences is to realize that there is a First Being who brought every existing thing into being.”

The First Commandment is not a demand for blind faith but a call to know, study, reflect, and discover God.  Not because my zeide or Rebbe told me to but because I have found and met Him. “This precept,” states the Chinuch, “is the great principle of the Torah, on which all depends.”

Without God, the revealer of Torah, there is no rhyme or reason for mitzvot.

The Ten Commandments, therefore, begins and is founded not on rules governing appropriate or inappropriate behavior but on thought.   So too, it concludes with a focus on thought, with a prohibition on coveting, on envy.  On the one hand, we are told to use our power of intellect to reach our level of belief in God. On the other, we are warned never to use our thinking capacities in order to attain or gain that which is not ours. Not only is it prohibited to make any attempt to obtain something which belongs to another through coercion or even through payment, it is even forbidden to desire in one’s heart the possessions of another. The body of Jewish law, then, is couched on both sides with the spirit and soul of Jewish belief and thought. A true Jew not only acts and behaves Jewishly but he also thinks Jewishly as well.

Before he acts, a Jew reflects and thinks. After he acts, he reflects and thinks.

Yet, in these two laws a profound question presents itself.  While it is clearly apparent that one can be motivated to think “positively” – about –something it is not so plain that it is possible to not think about something.  After all, to think about God one needs simply look at the world, observe the sunrise and sunset, the stars, waters, trees, just think of the depth and scope of Torah.  To do so guarantees some level of faith. If you do only that, you will, as Rambam exclaims, know God. To think positively makes sense.  But how does one not think about something.  How does one not desire?

Torah is practical.  It is rational in instructing against theft, kidnapping, murder.  These are actions which, even if desired, can be restrained.  But can the desire itself be legislated?  Ironically, or insightfully, it is this prohibition against coveting which most clearly characterizes the Jewish, Godly aspect of the Ten Commandments.

Any ruler, government or law can decree not to do something.  But no mortal ruler or government can dictate policies regarding thoughts and reflections. But “thou shalt not covet,” only God can forbid, for He is cognizant of man’s most intimate thoughts.

Furthermore, the very same individual who can direct his thoughts and beliefs towards God can also direct and channel his thoughts to think honestly, and more importantly, to think in permissible and practical terms. The Ktav V’Hakabalah explains that the Torah, which expects that we “love God with all our heart,” intends to have us use all of our thinking powers and capacities in the pursuit of God; good, decency, honesty.

To love God with all our powers means to use our minds exclusively for that which God would approve and condone. Otherwise, we are using part of our intellect for that which is not Godly, and therefore unattainable. In other words, Judaism teaches that a person may not contemplate or desire that which he may not attain or that which is forbidden to attain. That which God forbade and restricted remains in the realm of the unthinkable.

The Ibn Ezra quotes the famous Meshalim, “Would the rational, normal, poor farmer contemplate or think of physically relating with the beautiful, stunning princess? It is impossible, therefore unthinkable. Would the rational, normal, poor farmer contemplate or think of growing wings to fly in the heavens? It is impossible, therefore unthinkable. The poor farmer would not, nay, could not, think of the beautiful princess, just as he wouldn’t and couldn’t think in similar terms of his mother. Just as he was trained of the forbidden relationship with his mother, he can similarly be trained regarding the princess.

Not to covet is a matter of training. The Torah’s intention is to train the Jew that what is forbidden and prohibited is unattainable and therefore unthinkable. The same individual who is trained not to murder, steal, or commit adultery can be trained not to covet. Whatever is not yours, the Torah says, you can’t have. Therefore, don’t desire it, or even think about it.

“Why? Because your mind is filled with God, with honesty, with decency, with integrity, and there is no more room to add to that mind, just as there is no more room to add to an overflowing cup. The mind and heart filled with God and His truths respond naturally and logically to the prohibition not to covet.”

Rabbi Soloveitchik zt”l observed that every morning we recite three b'rachos of identity,  taking note of who we are.  God placed our souls into our bodies, determining for us our religion, our gender, our social standing.  God determined our identity.  We praise Him as the One “she’asa li kol tzarki”, who made everything required for me to realize my potential.  In our blessings, we see ourselves in God’s image.  If we look to God, we see ourselves as reflections of the divine, free of the desire for more.

A hassidic master once said that “not to covet” is more than merely a prohibition; it is also a promise, a result.  He who is able and desiring to think in Godly terms, who reaches the level of knowing God, identifying with His values and standards, such a person will never covet. It is a matter of perspective – do you look at God or at yourself?  To look primarily at oneself is to always want more, to covet.  But to look at God and measure a life by His standards?  Such a life will be satisfied and content.

There is the story of a boy who dwelled in the mountains.  Looking across the valley, he found himself fascinated by a house on the opposite side of the valley.  Each evening its windows were sheets of shining gold. Drawn to this seeming treasure, he made his way across the valley toward the house. But the path was difficult. Exhausted, he lay down and slept.

Early the next morning he hurried to the house.  Instead of finding sheets of gold, he discovered that the windows were but ordinary glass. Disappointed and bitter, he turned toward home, but then stopped in surprise. Across the valley, he saw his own home, and it was agleam with windows of gold!

Hamas Claims Five Killed in IAF Retaliation Tuesday Afternoon

Terrorists fired 4 Kassam rockets Tuesday afternoon. One hour later, the IDF struck back.<br/>Gazans claim 5 killed.

Terrorists fired four Kassam rockets at the western Negev  this (Tuesday) afternoon. The rockets exploded close to one of the Shaar Hanegev Authority settlements, but no one was hurt and no damage was reported.
Gazan authorities claim that the IDF reacted within an hour of the missile launchings, with an artillery barrage aimed at the Tufach neighborhood in the southern part of Gaza City. According to Palestinian reports, the entrance to a home scored a direct hit, killing five people.

The Gazans claim that three of those killed are members of the same family, and include an 11 year old and a 16 year old who were there at the time.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his regret if innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip were unintentionally hit as a result of IDF shelling. He emphasized that the shelling was carried out in response to Hamas fire at Israeli civilians. "It is regrettable that Hamas continues to intentionally rain down dozens of rockets on Israeli civilians even as it uses civilians as human shields. While the State of Israel has no intention of bringing about a deterioration of the situation, the IDF will continue to take determined action to defend Israeli citizens," the Prime Minister said.

Last night,  IAF jets bombed two terrorist built tunnels, two sites for the manufacture and storage of weapons and two terrorist bases and training sites in retaliation for mortar bombardments from Gaza on the Sabbath. The IDF sent a message to Hamas, suggesting that "they refrain from letting the situation deteriorate to the point of an escalation of violence in which they will get a taste of  IDF strength."

Egyptian: Goal of Arab Spring to Wipe Out Christians

Wednesday, December 18, 2013 |  Israel Today Staff

Dr. Ashraf Ramelah, an Egyptian Christian activist and founder of Voice of the Copts, said in a recent interview with Arab media that the new constitution being discussed in Egypt is further evidence that the so-called “Arab Spring” was nothing more than a front for a revitalization of the Islamic agenda.

Ramelah told The Arab Daily News that Christians in the Middle East are far worse off today than prior to the Arab Spring. Proof of that can be found in the fact that it is necessary to consider special clauses pertaining to Christians in the new Egyptian constitution.

“Copts (native Egyptian Christians) are citizens of Egypt. They do not need to have special rights. In a democratic country all citizens are equal under the law,” noted Ramelah.

But, that is precisely the point Ramelah and others have been trying to make since America and its Western buddies got on the “Arab Spring” bandwagon. The purportedly “pro-democracy” uprisings were anything but.

“‘Arab Spring’ is a deceptive label created by Western leftists as a misnomer for the Islamic revival in Arab countries,” he explained. “Arab Spring was a massive project instigated by the Muslim Brotherhood in a series of countries with the Islamic Caliphate as its ultimate goal.”

And there has been no greater victim than the region’s Christian community.

“Christians, like the Jews before them, are meant to be purged from each country,” said Ramelah, recalling that most notorious of Muslim chants, “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.”

Indeed, attacks on Christians have increased exponentially in recent years, not only in Egypt, but even more so in Syria and Iraq. In Syria’s ongoing civil war, Christians have essentially become “target practice” for the Islamists trying to seize control of that country.

About Me

Hello and welcome!

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read my profile. I enjoy modeling. I know that I am no SUPER Model. I am aware that I am only 5 feet and 7 inches tall and that I am not skinny but I am no starving model! I enjoy being healthy so eating very little is not my take on life! Plus my family just cooks too good!

I have studied alternative medicine and sports nutrition since 2003. I have had the privilege to work with many communities to better the health of children, women, and men alike! Heck, I have even had the opportunity to work with animal shelters to improve the quality of life for many puppies, kittens, and horses!

I believe that there is beauty in all of us whether it is your sparkling eyes, curvy figure, dainty hands, or courageous personality. I enjoy working with photographers who can see this in every person. I shoot for emotion, for beauty, and for the love of it! I would enjoy working with photographers who are bored of taking the same old picture over and over! If you have any creative endeavors that you are working on, feel free to email me!

Now that you know me just a bit better, let me discuss my business side. I take what I do seriously so when I make a date in my book, I plan to keep that schedule unless a drastic event occurs to change it. I will respect you and expect the same in return. For any shoot I will let you know what I agree to do and what I will not agree to do. I give credit where it is deserved. And saying all of this, I expect a few jokes now and then so go ahead, make me laugh till I cry and my side hurts!!! I demand to have fun when I am at a photo shoot, there is no way around this! :)

OK, so don't take me too seriously! I will leave the seriousness for the serious matters. Otherwise, I am easy to work with! I do have a family (adorable son and loving husband), I am a student working towards my masters, and I have a job so modeling is that extra part of my life where I get to be artistic!

Now here is the part where I get serious. I do have rates. I will work select TFCD/TFP with only exceptional photographers. As you see, I have done nude work. I will only do nude work for pay. But there are exceptions if I believe we are going to share the benefit of the shoot. I only do classy nude work. I will not do open leg shots!!

I enjoy modeling and understand how to pose well for my body type. As you can see, I do not have a "girls" body with a petite frame. I am curvy so I do extremely well with glamour, lingerie, and swimwear photo shoots.
Also, I appreciate travel expenses to be covered or at least split if there is a great distance to travel. This is a business, these are how things work. But feel free to contact me with any questions.

Contact me for my rates!

I check my email daily and will respond to all my emails as promptly as I can. Usually that same day or up to 2 days max. So I try! I can't travel for TFP or TFCD shoots since money is limited and I do not have sponsors to handle that cost for me or a wealthy family with money to spare. It would be awesome if I did but I don't! However, I will still try my best to work with photographers who have very interesting ideas and need a model to build on those ideas. But it is limited, sorry.

I am my own manager on OMP.

I have lots of make-up and can do my own make-up and hair!

The Power of 10 GbE

Arthur Cole

The race may be on for 10 GbE capability throughout the enterprise, but it seems that few people are paying attention to the heat and energy consequences of the technology, particularly once data demands start to drive the port densities back up.

One company that is concerned about it is Solarflare Communications, a maker of the Physical Transceiver (PHY) that powers switches, controllers and network adapters. In this analysis at EE Times, CTO Steven Pope explains the kinds of power trade-offs that will be necessary based on the 10GBASE-T standard currently in place.

A major problem is controller offload, which Pope says will exceed the power budget for a 10GBASE-T network adapter unless a more efficient architecture is developed. Fortunately, advances in 90 nm designs for controllers have exceeded expectations, so it looks likely that balancing the power between the controller and the PHY will provide a suitable short-term fix.

But like the 1000- and 100GBASE-T implementations before it, the power requirements for 10GBASE-T will diminish over time. So ultimately, the PHY will be able to hold an entire network interface architecture within an acceptable power budget. It's just going to take some time.

Android users left vulnerable with dud factory reset

Sensitive data, such as user credentials, can be easily recovered from an Android handset after performing a factory reset, according to a University of Cambridge report.

The feature, which is claimed to "erase all data" from the device and is especially recommended come resale time, will not work as advertised on up to 630 million Android handsets.

A factory reset will not properly wipe the data partition, where "credentials and other sensitive data are stored", on up to 500 million handsets, while on a further 130 million devices it will not properly clean the user-accessible storage. Even worse, relying on encryption to secure sensitive data does not help.

When encryption is turned on, the report says, it is still possible to recover the encryption key, which allows recoverable data to be decrypted. The security researchers claim that they "could recover Google credentials on all devices" - 21 popular Android smartphones, made by five different vendors, running Android versions ranging from 2.3 Gingerbread to 4.3 Jelly Bean were used for the purpose of the study.

According to Google's own data, those distributions power 50.2 per cent of all Android devices that are currently in use. Those include tablets, of course, but, fundamentally, Android is the same across all devices that run it - so, the factory reset security problems should not be limited to Android smartphones.

The report says that, among other things, an attacker could exploit the weakness of the Android factory reset to access Google accounts and backed up data linked to them - the latter includes contacts, calendar entries, Drive files, Wi-Fi credentials and more; basically, what is selected to be synced with your Google account is at risk.

Part of the blame lies with vendors, for not delivering drivers and updates that effectively fix the problem, and the other part lies with Google, which has not implemented "support for proper deletion of the internal and external SD card in all OS versions. One of the problems pointed out is that factory reset is not consistently implemented - triggering it from Android allows the user to also use it for the microSD card, but this option is not provided when using the feature via recovery mode.

Vendors are apparently aware that a factory reset might not work as expected, with HTC revealing on its One (M8) help page that "A factory reset may not permanently erase all data from your phone, including personal information".

There are issues even on Android 4.4 KitKat, which, in the Android Open Source Project flavor, supports full disk encryption (FDE), like every Android release after, and including, version 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

FDE is said to be "more appropriate" for users, but it has to be turned on from the get-go to be effective. Enabling it before the factory reset, like with other distributions, may also make sensitive data easily recoverable. The problem is not all smartphones support FDE, nor FDE for the aforementioned data partition.

So what can you do? Well, the researchers seem to imply that there is little an ordinary user can do to make sure their personal data is secure, after performing a factory reset.

The report does, however, provide a number of recommendations for vendors. To read the whole report, hit the link in the third paragraph.

An enhancement to the historic district

As members of this community whose roots go back generations, we would like to voice our opinion concerning the Clancy Design Studio on North Main Road.

With all due respect to Mr. Anthony, Mr. Wright and Ms. Enright, we find ourselves on the opposite side of the issue. We do not believe that this 1.9 acre property surrounded by hundred's of acres of protected property is any threat to the so-called "windmill hill historic district." In fact, we believe it to be an asset both to the "hill" and to the town in general.

As a former board member of the Jamestown Historical Society, I find it appalling that certain members of this group have acted with so much hate and intolerance toward the Clancys. And, speaking of hate, the woman who physically and verbally accosted the Clancys at the recent Town Council meeting might want to get to an anger management class before she ends up in jail.

The historical society had the chance to buy the miller's house in 1996 when it came on the market, but failed to do so (so much for protecting the "hill"). The Clancys bought the miller's house, restored it and changed it to suit their needs as was their right. The barn studio was constructed by Andy Shrake, the same man who restored the windmill. The barn is a post and beam structure which was painted to match the windmill. The Clancys have kept the rural character of the area and at the same time have made the property uniquely theirs.

Jennifer and David Clancy are hardworking, talented artists who are trying to make a living producing beautiful handmade art glass. They are a fine example of young poeple preserving the historic craft of glassblowing. With a little research, I discovered that glassblowing began in America 400 years ago in, ironically, Jamestown, Va. We have on "Windmill Hill" our own piece of living history. The magic, mystery and artistry of glassblowing continues on.

Retail sales are not new to North Main Road, nor to other parts of Jamestown outside the commercial district. Retail items are sold at the farms, at the bait shop and at museums. As far as we know, customary home occupations are defined in the Jamestown Zoning Ordinance. The Clancy studio is not a retail outlet. The only saleable merchandise is what they have produced in their studio-nothing from China, all American made.

Recently, three members of the Jamestown Zoning Board agreed to allow retail sales on a limited basis from the Clancy studio. The studio would be open for sales from June to December, with limited hours. The Jamestown Town Council voted unanimously to support the decision of the three members. However, four zoning board members votes were needed for approval so the issue goes back to Superior Court for the judge's decision. In the meantime, the historical society continues to oppose the Clancys and I assume it pays for legal representation.

We see no reason why the historical society cannot live in harmony with their neighbors. This is a wonderful community - we don't need the hate.

One other thought: The Clancy house and studio could have been something very different, if the property had been purchased by someone else. Just think of a Florida or California house next to our precious windmill.

Anyone interested in viewing the Clancy home, workshop and story may go to the following Website: http://www.projo.com/ home/content/projo_20041128_ glass28.1259cd.html.

Reading Between the Lines

Executive Coaching in Japan

By Charlie Badenhop

When foreign executives are posted to Japan, they usually face a steep learning curve. Not only do they need to grasp the ins and outs of a unique marketplace, they also need to understand how to operate in a new culture. Well actually, not a “new” culture, but an ancient culture that is quite different than any in the West.

Sure enough most everyone posted to Japan receives some training in regard to Japanese culture. Learning how to present a business card, and the correct way to bow is a good beginning. But what’s most important is gaining an emotional understanding of how and why Japanese people tend to behave and react differently than people in your home country.

It’s important to learn how to read between the lines in Japan, because Japanese people are masters of nuance. What people don’t say is often more important than what they do say. When a proposal you present is met with a polite silence or a simple “Thank you,” it’s likely your counterpart has a rather different opinion. After all, there’s no greater nuance than saying nothing!

Another important point to consider is the meaning of compliments. It’s my experience that Japanese people feel that complimenting others is a good strategy for building relationships. Thus it’s not uncommon for a compliment to be offered, even when nothing notable has been accomplished. In fact the more you get complimented, the more you can guess you’re still considered to be an outsider. You haven’t really made the grade here until you receive your first criticism. This is clearly evident when studying most any Japanese art. New students get almost all the compliments while long time students mostly receive criticism and corrections. Indeed it’s my experience that getting criticized is a way for sensei to show you he’s taken notice and feels you’re worthy of his lessons.

When I first arrived in Japan I studied Aikido more than twenty hours a week, and yet for the first two months I was treated as if I was invisible. Then all of a sudden during a night class one of the junior sensei gave me two strong criticisms, one right after the other. When class was over everyone went out for a beer, and I hesitantly went along not sure sensei would want me there. Once the refreshments were poured, sensei raised his glass, and to my total surprise said, “Here’s to Charlie-san, the newest member of our dojo. Kanpai!”

So the next time you get criticized in Japan, you might want to stop and consider whether or not you’ve just been complimented!

Charlie Badenhop is a native New Yorker and has been living in Japan for the past 25 years. He is also an Aikido instructor and the founder of Seishindo ( a health and emotional well-being program.

Other posts by Japan Inc:

Good to see you still have fantastic insights into Japan and the world in general. You've always been a great coach, and that is one of the many things I appreciated.

I definitely agree with you ... with the Japanese, it is really what is not said that is important.

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your kind words.

Medical coverage to be improved for hibakusha abroad

Measures to support hibakusha living overseas will soon be bolstered, welfare minister Norihisa Tamura said at a recent news conference.

The announcement was made after the Osaka District Court ruled on Oct. 24 that the prefecture’s refusal to cover medical expenses for A-bomb survivors overseas was illegal under the Atomic Bomb Victims Relief Law.

The law allows hibakusha living abroad to claim financial aid while in Japan, but not when they are outside the country.

Noting that the government allows hibakusha in Japan to be covered when they receive medical treatment overseas, the court thus said that the relief law should also be interpreted as including those hibakusha abroad who seek medical help outside Japan.

As of March, there were about 4,400 hibakusha living abroad.

These people are not eligible for aid under the relief law but can receive up to ¥180,000 in annual medical subsidies per person via a separate government support program that was launched in fiscal 2004.

Nakamura gives Eagles a big lift

Norihiro Nakamura finished a triple shy of the cycle and drove in five runs as the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles beat the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks 8-6 on Friday.

Nakamura hit a three-run double in the first inning and a tie-breaking two-run homer in the third off Toshiya Sugiuchi (2-1) at Kleenex Stadium.

The third baseman also singled and drew a walk in his other plate appearances.

Jose Ortiz led off the sixth with his fourth home run of the season to draw Softbank within 5-4, but Yosuke Takasu’s sacrifice fly and Takeshi Yamasaki’s two-run double pushed Rakuten’s lead to 8-4 in the eighth.

Hiromichi Fujiwara (1-0) allowed four runs in five-plus innings in his season debut. Sugiuchi struck out 12 but gave up five runs in six innings.

Marines 5, Buffaloes 3

At Osaka’s Kyocera Dome, Yoshihisa Naruse finished one out shy of a complete game and Kim Tae Kyun hit his first home run in Japan as Chiba Lotte beat Orix, leaving the two clubs tied for the Pacific League lead.

Naruse (2-1) allowed three runs and seven hits before Hiroyuki Kobayashi got the final out for his third save.

Kim connected off Kazuki Kondo (1-1) for a two-run shot in the fifth inning.

The Marines took a 3-0 lead in the first on RBI singles from Tadahito Iguchi, Shoitsu Omatsu and Kazuya Fukuura.

Takahiro Okada hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth for the Buffaloes.

Lions 6, Fighters 4

At Sapporo Dome, Hokkaido Nippon Ham first baseman Shinji Takahashi made a two-run throwing error in the eighth inning as Saitama Seibu won a seesaw contest.

Takahashi’s errant throw home on a grounder by Yasuyuki Kataoka scored runners from second and third, allowing Seibu to break a 4-4 tie. Taiyo Fujita (1-0) won in relief.

Hisashi Takeda (0-3) was charged with two unearned runs in 1 1/3 innings. Lions ace Hideaki Wakui gave up four runs and 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings.

Swallows 1, BayStars 0

At Tokyo’s Jingu Stadium, Tony Barnette struck out 11 over seven dominant innings and Ryoji Aikawa doubled in the only run of the game, leading Yakult over Yokohama.

Barnette (1-0) allowed three hits, all singles, and walked three in his first start in Japan. Lim Chang Yong pitched the ninth to earn his third save.

Giants 5, Carp 4

At Mazda Stadium, Alex Ramirez homered twice and drove in four runs as Yomiuri handed Hiroshima its fifth consecutive loss.

Ramirez hit a three-run homer in the fifth inning to tie the game 4-4 before adding a solo blast in the seventh off Kenta Maeda (1-1).

Dickey Gonzalez (1-1) allowed four runs over seven innings. Marc Kroon picked up his third save.

Dragons 6, Tigers 5

At Nagoya Dome, Masahiko Morino went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and Chunichi scored five runs in the fourth inning to beat Hanshin.

2015 In Review

It's been an interesting year. Full of trials and tribulations; packed with wonderful experiences and memories.

I shared dinners and drinks with very close friends, made new friends, met some very cool people and one of my heroes.

Live music experiences were shared with my daughter and my son. I travelled a bit.

The love of my life loved me and I loved her more than ever before. We laughed and cried and saw movies, ate wonderful food. She spoiled me and I took care of her as best I could.

I wrote a lot but not as much as I wanted. I toyed with some ideas and tossed out dozens more. Several have solidified and I'm continuing to explore them. A lot of what entertained me was suggested by others. It puts me in mind to seek out other things on my own. To recreate the path of my young adulthood.

As weird as that might sound.

This isn't my typical year-end summation. It's fragmented because that's how my year went. Bits and pieces swimming up to the top, demanding my attention RIGHT NOW and BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT.

So this little therapy helps me put perspective on some on it. It's not for anyone but me.

To you I wish a Happy New Year. May all the good things overwhelm and overtake the not so good things. Tell everyone about the things that make you happy. Acknowledge the things that make you nuts or cringe or angry then do something about them. Don't sit and wait for others, do what it takes to make the world a better place. Do what you can. There are important decisions coming and you can, yes you can, affect the outcomes. Belief is a powerful thing.

Here some things I enjoyed this year:

And here are a couple of things I'm really looking forward to in 2016:

Be good to each other. You are loved, you are cherished and you have value. Don't let anyone tell you any different. Do what makes you happy, don't hurt anyone. Love all you can, give as much as you can but don't trust too much. Be skeptical, wary and on your guard. Not so much you lose sight of what matters though. You got this.

More to come.

We begin the process as soon as a family or individual meets with one of our professional memorialists. We start by listening. We listen to the ideas from you and your family and take note of the special stories you share. With our artistry, design experience and knowledge, we create design ideas and options for you to choose from that capture a story or theme about the person. When we work with an individual or family, we create something personal and meaningful. We are not order takers behind a desk. We are artists, designers and craftsmen; historians if you will, who’s goal is to create a lasting memorial tribute, immortalizing the life lived.

We talk with you, allowing time to hear your stories and time to learn about the individual you are honoring. We guide you through the process showing you ways to tell a story in the memorial. We discuss and explain the options available and what is permitted. These options depend on cemetery regulations and how these rules can be coordinated with your preferences for design, size and other elements. We then focus on the materials, sizes, shapes and colors that are fitting. We explain why these selections are suggested compared to others that might be considered, so you can make an informed selection.

Our artists then prepare a full size drawing using text and symbolism selected to tell the story you’ve described. In the case of more elaborate memorials, it is not uncommon for our designers to prepare several conceptual drawings to help you and your family visualize different options. Then based on your feedback, a complete, final drawing of the memorial is presented for approval. You review and approve the drawing before the stone is actually carved. This ensures that everything will meet your expectations.

We maintain the highest standards of design, hand carvings, renderings, personalization and artistry in the field today. It is our goal to provide this to you while maintaining good economical sense, and true craftsmanship for your memorial.

Unfortunately, many in the business today no longer provide or never knew how to provide this standard of service. Instead many companies have become dependent on computer-based, impersonal, cut and paste design processes that lose the qualities, artistry, beauty and personalization that the best design and memorials easily provide. Many companies now provide only a computer generated rough draft for viewing prior to getting approval to start their work.

The drawbacks and lack of quality produced from a company dependent on a computer-generated model, can be easily missed. We understand that most people who come to select a memorial, have no experience with design, or knowledge of what a quality product is when choosing and viewing a memorial. We take care of that for you, share the pro’s and con’s with you and educate along the way.

We collaborate with you on designs and choices to ensure our highest quality standards effectively create the story you want to tell. Once the design is approved the piece of stone is cut and polished to specification, then our master craftsmen and stone carvers transform the stone into your personalized work of art.

The completed memorial is then delivered to the cemetery. It may be set by the cemetery personnel or by our own setting crew. This is determined by each cemetery as well as the actual piece being placed.
