[7]More on safer and more effective muscle enhancement
[8]Two new classes of experimental drugs shown to have powerful
muscle-building capabilities--selective androgen receptor modulators
(SARMs) and myostatin inhibitors--have been added to the World
Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) list of prohibited substances for 2008.
I had [9]discussed the myostatni inhibitor drug
I believe that there is nothing wrong with safe muscle enhancement.
Unlike steroids it will improve the health of most of those who use
it. Preventing deterioration of muscle in the elderly. There are some
people have the activated genes which causes myostatin inhibition and
there is no indication that their health is bad or that their life
expectency is less.
[10]Here is an article that describes current underground use of IGF-1
and myostatin inhibitors
IGF-1 LR3 Benefits:
Stimulates muscle growth and has been shown to benefit the heart (a
muscle).
Encourages the absorption of Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine
Sulfate (also found in Velvet Antler).
Regenerates nerve tissue
Helps burn fat, increase protein transport into cells, and reduce
protein breakdown
Improves the production of white blood cells
Decreases LDL Cholesterol
So to recap, IGF-1 provides almost permanent muscle-creating,
muscle-repairing, and anti-aging benefits.
In 2004 the leading experts on the subject admitted that this gene
therapy could already be in use, and that the technology and
knowledge is such that the process to deliver it isn't complicated.
[11]Being able to deliver genetic modification to every cell
[12]A review of research for using gene therapy to enhance humans
[13]Back in 2002, University of Pennsylvania gene therapy researcher
Lee Sweeney studied ways to treat muscular dystrophy and the general
frailty that comes with aging. In his lab, he inserted a gene called
IGF-1 into the muscles of mice. The IGF-1 gene effect is being
mimicked by the new myostatin inhibitors.
"The good this can bring to people with muscle disease and the
elderly far outweighs the potential downside from an athletic
standpoint," he says, "so I think it's going to have to be dealt
with."

[27]China currency update
[28]Jim Rogers, chairman of Beeland Interests Inc. and a former
partner of George Soros, said yesterday the yuan may quadruple in the
next decade. If it did then the yuan would be at 1.8 to 1.9 to the US
dollar. China's economy would be at 13 trillion US dollar even if
there was zero growth. [29]I have noted that I expect China's economy
to pass the United STates on an exchange rated basis before 2020.
Non-deliverable forward contracts show traders are betting the yuan
will reach 7.0070 in 12 months, a gain of 6.9 percent from the spot
rate, and 6.95 by the end of 2008.
The government should revalue the yuan by as much as 20 percent,
according to a report circulated inside the National Development
and Reform Commission, Market News International said.
This would put the exchange rate at 6 to 1. China's economy next year
would be almost equal to Japan on an exchange rate basis.
[30]The Center for Responsible Nanotechnology has an article about
China and quotes some papers discussing China's weaknesses
Any business or country has vulnerabilities. China is not unique in
this regard.
In terms of things built on sand, the same could be said of any
technology or business startup. Google had and continues to have
vulnerabilities, but fast growth and momentum are powerful assets.
High growth companies can do things and are given money and business
deals because of their fast growth. The most recent example is
Facebook. They got $240 million for 1.6% of the company from
Microsoft.
This is more than [31]Facebooks 2007 revenue. The $240 million likely
funds Facebook through their IPO, when Facebook will get even more
money and will be able to further strengthen their actual business and
revenue and profit generation.
Year and year China is getting $40-70 billion/year in Foreign Direct
Investment.
Keep that up for 3 decades + and a lot of that is not a "pyramid
scheme".
The longer you can keep it going then the more the sand can be turned
into cement.
As for China fooling foreign investors. [32]Profits for foreign
companies in China are booming. The promise is being realized.
China's [33]middle class is rapidly expanding. So domestic supporters
are being "fooled" with real lifestyle and economic gains.
China does not need to force its military budget to the percentage
levels of the Soviet Union. They have enough deterrence and even if
China's economy is twice the size of the USA. The US military will not
be shrinking. It would be idiotic to build more military to try and
win a military conflict with the USA or Russia or China. They all have
reached military critical mass and more stuff will not win the day. A
completely new technological and strategic approach is another story,
but just bigger budgets is not the measure.
The evidence that I have seen shows that Chinese leaders have a
rational future vision for China and by and large are trying to make
choices for the good of the nations future. There are problems and
they are being addressed.
It is in the interest of all people to want China, USA, Russia, India
and the other nations to succeed and continue to succeed.
Just as in the last century the US can be the big winner but that does
not mean the UK, Canada or others have to lose.
Economic competition can and should be win-win.
It would be in the interest of the USA to help China fix its problems
with the environment and corruption. Big unrest and loss of central
control in China could make us long for the days of only having unrest
in the middle east.
