Tay-Sachs Disease
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
What is Tay-Sachs disease?
Tay-Sachs is a rare disease that is passed down through some families. A person with Tay-Sachs has changed (mutated) genes that don't make any or enough of an enzyme called hexosaminidase A (hex A). Hex A breaks down fatty compounds. Without it, fatty compounds build up in the nerve cells of the brain and cause damage.
There are two forms of Tay-Sachs:
- The most common form develops soon after a baby is born. It causes death early in childhood.
- Late-onset Tay-Sachs can start between puberty and the mid-30s. How long a person lives depends on how severe the symptoms are. People may live as long as someone who doesn't have Tay-Sachs disease. Late-onset Tay-Sachs is very rare.
What causes Tay-Sachs disease?
Tay-Sachs can occur when parents pass on a changed gene to their child.
- If a baby gets the changed gene from both parents, he or she will get the disease.
- If the baby gets the changed gene from only one parent, he or she will be a carrier. This means that the child will have one gene that produces hex A and one that doesn't. The child's body makes enough hex A so that he or she doesn't get the disease. But the child can pass the changed gene on to his or her children.
In late-onset Tay-Sachs (LOTS), the body makes a small amount of hex A. People with LOTS inherit the late-onset hex A gene change from one or both parents.
The changed gene that causes Tay-Sachs disease is more commonly found in people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. About 1 out of 30 people in this population is a carrier of the disease.footnote 1 People of French-Canadian descent from the East Saint Lawrence River Valley of Quebec and people of Cajun descent in Louisiana are also more likely than others to carry the changed gene.
What are the symptoms?
A child with Tay-Sachs disease looks healthy at birth. But when the child is:
- 3 to 6 months of age, you may notice that the child makes less eye contact and has a hard time focusing his or her eyes on things. A doctor may see a red spot on the child's retina.
- 6 to 10 months of age, you may notice that the child is not as alert and playful as he or she had been. It might be hard for the child to sit up or roll over. You also may notice that the child does not see or hear well.
- 10 months and older, the disease gets worse quickly. The child may have seizures, have an intellectual disability, lose his or her vision, and not be able to move.
Children with Tay-Sachs rarely live beyond 4 years of age.
In late-onset Tay-Sachs (LOTS), early symptoms such as clumsiness or mood changes may be minor or seem "normal" and go unnoticed. Later symptoms may include muscle weakness and twitching, slurred speech, and trouble thinking and reasoning. The symptoms depend on how much hex A the body makes.
How is Tay-Sachs disease diagnosed?
If you or your doctor thinks that your child has Tay-Sachs disease, your doctor will do a physical exam and a blood test to check the level of hex A. A genetic test may be needed to be sure the disease is Tay-Sachs.
How is it treated?
The focus of treatment for Tay-Sachs disease is to control symptoms and make your child as comfortable as possible. There is no cure. It may be helpful to seek counseling or find support from others who are going through the same thing you are.
If you have late-onset Tay-Sachs disease (LOTS), treatment also focuses on controlling symptoms. The treatment you receive, such as medicine for depression, depends on the symptoms you have.
It may be overwhelming to learn that your child has Tay-Sachs. It's important that you care for yourself as well as your child. Talk to your doctor about:
- Your concerns and the help you'll need for your child.
- A support group in your area.
- Family counseling to help each member cope with the disease.
As the disease gets worse, your child will need more care. Encourage your child to be as active as possible for as long as possible. Give your child your love and affection.
You may not be able to care for your child without help. Talk with your doctor about groups that can help you.
Should you get tested?
If you are thinking about having a child, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends that:footnote 2
- Both you and your partner get a screening test if you are both of Ashkenazi Jewish, French-Canadian, or Cajun descent or have a family history of the disease. If both of you test positive as carriers, genetic counseling may help you with making choices.
- You or your partner get a screening test if either of you is of Ashkenazi Jewish, French-Canadian, or Cajun descent or has a family history of the disease. If one of you tests positive for being a carrier, the other partner should be tested.
Carriers of the Tay-Sachs gene changes can pass the changed gene to their children even though the carriers don't have the disease. If both you and your partner are carriers, there is a 1-out-of-4 chance (25%) that any child you have will have Tay-Sachs disease.

Detailed Description:
333369EPY2002 is the open-label extension study that follows the double-blind study 333369EPY2001. In an open label study such as 333369EPY2002, both the physician and the patient know the name of the assigned study medication. In a double blind study such as 333369EPY2001, neither the physician nor the patient knows the name of the assigned study medication. Patients who complete the double-blind treatment phase of study 333369EPY2001 will be eligible to enter the open-label extension study during which patients will transition through a blinded period to an open-label period with carisbamate (also referred to as RWJ-333369). RWJ-333369 is a new chemical compound with anticonvulsant activity that is currently under investigation as a treatment for epilepsy. Patients electing to enter the open-label extension phase will be supplied with both open-label carisbamate (RWJ-333369) and blinded study medication for the transition phase. During this transition phase (up to 21 days in length), the patient's dose of double-blind study drug will be gradually reduced and stopped and treatment with open-label RWJ-333369 will be started. Throughout the remainder of the open label extension phase, investigators will be allowed to make further adjustments of the dosage and schedule of carisbamate, including independent adjustment of the morning and evening doses, but a dosage of 1,200 mg/day may not be exceeded and increases in dosage must be in increments of no more than 200 mg/day. Patients who, in the judgment of the investigator, continue to benefit from treatment with RWJ-333369 may continue to receive the drug with follow up clinic visits every 3 months until RWJ 333369 is available by prescription or the program is terminated by the sponsor. Initial dose RWJ-333369 is 1 capsule (250 milligram (mg) taken twice daily. Dosage may be changed at weekly intervals. The maximum permitted dose will be 4 capsules (1000 mg), twice daily during dose titration. Double blind-treatment duration is up to 71 days with the option to continue treatment in an open-label study. Maximum dose in open-label study is 1200 mg/day
Ages Eligible for Study: | 17 Years and older (Child, Adult, Senior) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- In order to enter the open label extension, the patient must have completed Study 333369EPY-2001.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have seizures that cannot be quantitated accurately
- patients with a history of nonepileptic seizures, serious systemic disease, progressive neurologic disorder, a major psychiatric disorder, status epilepticus in the past 3 months, vagal nerve stimulation discontinuation within the past 3 months
- patients with a history of drug or alcohol abuse within the past 2 years
- patients currently taking felbamate, vigabatrin, or tricyclic antidepressants

A Provocateur and Insider's Otsider From South Africa
Sometimes an exhibition can't do justice to an artist. For over a decade, Kendall Geers has been acclaimed and excoriated elsewhere for his interventionswhich deal viscerally with power structures, violence, forensic evidence, and guilt. He earned a major reputation as an insider's outsider. Now this Afrikaner, whose outrageous oeuvre ought to be as familiar to us as William Kentridge's, finally has his first solo here. But the curtain-wall installation (rolled razor-mesh wire in the form of the Parthenon's columns), the three ink drawings, and the key to the gallery (replicated in gold) seem pretty tameunless you know the backstory.
It includes his 6,000-volt electric-fence installation, his brick-thrown-through-a-window piece, his museum bomb-threat texts, and a hole blasted in a gallery wall. It involves protest, homage, vandalism, and the attempted appropriation of a nationalistic centennial celebration in Pretoria as his own artwork, titled Guilty. His works, which have provoked boycotts from museum staffs, caused viewers to flee, and elicited death threats, are about domination and social control, individual and collective responsibility.
"I come from the most violent city in the world," Geers has said. But his site-specific confrontational art implicates us all. So you'd better think twice about the razor-wire barrier blocking the tranquil garden view. Titled Akropolis Now, it links the Athenian creation of democracy with the destructions inflicted by fortress America in the name of freedom. The explosive drawingsof a shattered dome left standing in Hiroshima after the blastmake a similar historic point. And the gold key? Well, it does have the potential to violate this locked gallery's tight security.

Collecting baseball cards and other sports cards is a fun way for the whole family to build lasting memories.
Baseball Cards and Sports Cards collecting tips: A key thing to remember when building your baseball card and other sports cards collections is that the condition of the baseball card, football card, or other sports cards is very important to it's value and the selling price. Baseball cards in lower condition bring far less than those same baseball cards in top shape. Make sure to protect your sports cards with the proper card supplies every time. If you ever think of selling baseball cards, football cards, or other sports cards your top condition cards will always get better prices than sports cards that are not in top condition regardless if they are old sports cards or new sports cards when you put them up for sale.
There is no right or wrong baseball cards to collect. Many people like Topps baseball cards or Upper Deck baseball cards but there have been many manufacturers over the years and even the ones that are no longer in business anymore like Fleer or Pinnacle are collected by many. Some buy only new sports cards while other buy only old baseball cards. Price, value or what a price guide says a sports card is worth should not be the only or even the main factor in what you buy. The way to have the most fun with the hobby is to collect what you like and how you like and not what someone else says they think you should.
Many hobbiests like to buy baseball cards by the pack or box and get a thrill out of hitting their favorite player or that hard to find card insert, autograph or relic card. Others like to collect baseball card team sets or cards of their home town players and yet others buy factory sets or build sets by hand. Collecting baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards, or any other types of sports trading cards can be a life long hobby that's fun for the whole family. So above all enjoy your hobby.

These docs should cover the entire lifecycle of your Container Linux machines. Anyone can submit changes to these docs via GitHub. For more in-depth support, jumping into #coreos on IRC, emailing the dev list or filing a bug are recommended.
Container Linux runs on most cloud providers, virtualization platforms and bare metal servers. Running a local VM on your laptop is a great dev environment. Following the Quick Start guide is the fastest way to get set up.
Follow these guides to connect your machines together as a cluster. Configure machine parameters, create users, inject multiple SSH keys and more with cloud-config. Providing a discovery token via cloud-config is the easiest way to get a cluster set up.

Kubernetes is powerful container management software inspired by Google's operational experience with containers. Essential features like service discovery, automatic load-balancing, container replication and more are built in. Plus, it's all powered via an HTTP API.
If you already have Docker containers that you'd like to launch and load balance, Kubernetes is the best way to run them.
Linux containers provide numerous benefits for both application developers and operations teams. Container Linux only allows for software to be installed as containers, which is an important abstraction layer between the operating system and the applications (and dependencies) running on top.
Most users will never have to build Container Linux from source or modify it in any way. If you have a need to modify Container Linux, we provide an SDK that allows you to build your own developer images. We also provide OEM functionality for cloud providers and other companies that need to customize Container Linux to run within their environment.

Improved economic situation, but continued reforms needed
The European Communities economic situation has improved following the economic slowdown in 2001-03, mainly driven by private investment and exports. The economic recovery has translated into a decline of unemployment and was accompanied by strong expansion of international trade. Nonetheless, sustained recovery would appear to hinge on continued structural reforms, including further liberalization of services both at the intra-EC level and vis-à-vis third countries, according to the WTO Secretariat report on the trade policies and practices of the European Communities.
See also:
The report also notes that the European Communities is the worlds leading exporter and the second-largest importer of goods, and its economy has continued to support global growth by maintaining its market open, but trade barriers remain in a few but important areas, notably agriculture. Indeed, the report states that despite an increase in the exposure of farmers to world markets due to the implementation of the 2003 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), further reduction of export subsidies and tariffs on agriculture are needed. The report, along with a policy statement by the European Communities, will be the basis for the eighth Trade Policy Review (TPR) of the European Communities by the Trade Policy Review Body of the WTO on 26 and 28 February 2007.

Trade Policy Reviews are an exercise, mandated in the WTO agreements, in which member countries trade and related policies are examined and evaluated at regular intervals. Significant developments that may have an impact on the global trading system are also monitored. For each review, two documents are prepared: a policy statement by the government of the member under review, and a detailed report written independently by the WTO Secretariat. These two documents are then discussed by the WTOs full membership in the Trade Policy Review Body (TPRB). These documents and the proceedings of the TPRBs meetings are published shortly afterwards.

Dear Annie: From a young age, I understood the harmful effects of smoking because my grandfather died of lung cancer just months before I was born. He began smoking in his teens, which is when most adults who smoke started.
Getting kids hooked early is how tobacco companies ensure that a future generation buys their products. They even create tobacco products with flavors like cherry, mint and cookies 'n' cream to appeal to young people. The result? Every day, more than 3,200 kids try their first cigarette. According to the surgeon general, 5.6 million kids alive today will die early from smoking unless we act to prevent it.
We must teach kids about the dangers of tobacco, no matter what form or flavor it comes in. I hope everyone takes a minute to learn more about how they can help by visiting tobaccofreekids.org. - Tyler Long, age 19, freshman at Wofford College, Spartanburg, S.C.
Dear Tyler Long: Thank you for your letter. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the first surgeon general's report on smoking and health, which made headlines with its conclusions that cigarette smoking is responsible for a 70 percent increase in the mortality rate over non-smokers, that there is a correlation between smoking and lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and coronary heart disease, and that smoking during pregnancy reduces the average weight of newborns.
This year, Kick Butts Day will be held on March 19th. This is a national day of activism empowering our young people to speak out against Big Tobacco. For more information, readers can go to kickbuttsday.org, as well as tobaccofreekids.org.
Dear Annie: I'm 17 and currently in a long-distance relationship with this awesome girl from California. We've never met in person, but we have Skyped a lot. We've been together for more than a year.
Here's the problem: I've been having doubts that we'll ever really be together. On top of that, there's this nice girl from my old school who recently admitted that she really likes me, and I'm sad to say, I like her, too. I don't want to leave my girlfriend, but I don't know what our next step would be. What should I do? - Chris in Chicago
Dear Chris: Long-distance romances can work, but they are complicated and challenging even for experienced couples. And if you are not likely to meet this girl in person for months, if not years, it doesn't give you the opportunity to learn the real-life requirements of a solid relationship.
We think you should remain friends, but give yourself the chance to meet girls in your area and allow her the same freedom. You may reconsider a romance should you ever end up in the same part of the country. If she's as awesome as you say, you will be able to discuss this with her and reach an understanding.
Dear Annie: I'd like to offer my insights to "Massachusetts," whose live-in retired boyfriend leaves wet towels on the shower door and dirty dishes in the sink, does little to help with housework and is making her miserable. Here's my take:
She was wrong to get involved with a man 25 years older and then let him move in with her. She fully supports him and her two teenage sons, and in return, he does nothing to help out around the house. It sounds as if "Massachusetts" lets her boyfriend and her sons take advantage of her. She needs to become more assertive and let them all know what she expects of them as members of her household.
Does she realize how sad it will be when her boyfriend is 80 and she is still an active 55-year-old? She will be his caregiver and have no other life at all. If this is not the future she envisions, she needs to get this man out of her life. - Know Better

Organizing your tooling
To computerize or not to computerizethat is the question
Are you busy putting out fires? Is management by crisis preventing you from being proactive and establishing a preventive maintenance system for your tooling? Does your tooling gather more dust than uptime? Do you think you know your tooling needs, or do you collect data that shows your tooling needs?
You could divide the fabrication world into two types of shop: those that have a preventive maintenance (PM) program, and those that don't. If you have worked in enough shops that practice PM, you likely know that establishing a good PM system is worth its weight in gold in the form of uptime. A good PM system starts with your inventory and is a matter of computerization and discipline.
The biggest step usually is getting started. Excuses for not getting started are just that, excuses, and it is better to move forward than to sit still. With this in mind, understand that the system can be simple and stand-alone or it can be very detailed and integrated.
Getting Started
Computerized inventory is a must to support any fabrication plant. The first step in setting up a computerized tool inventory system is building an information database. The database must include critical information:
- Part number (the end user's part number)
- Die number
- Detail number (the number of the detail of the tool listed with-in a die)
- Type
- Description (the tool's nomenclature)
- Order point quantity
- Order quantity
- Cost
- Delivery (estimated delivery time)
You might want to incorporate additional fields, but these are minimum requirements for the task.
Die Listing or Item Listing? Many tooling organization schemes exist. One common scheme organizes the tooling by each die tool. Another organizes the tooling by tool description. The most cost-effective plan uses the tool description because it prevents duplication of common tools, which happens when organizing tools by die system.
Many fear the tool description system because they like to have backup tooling in other places. The problem is the backup tooling is generally unknown—that is, you're not really sure if you have it and where it is. Quite a bit of valuable time is spent, under urgent conditions, looking for tooling. In most cases, it's nonexistent. Not using the tool description system also can be an excuse for not having better discipline.
Organizing the tooling by die system can work, but usually such a system isn't detailed enough to cover all the bases and is much more expensive if it does.
Keeping it simple will be rewarding too. Let's look at a plan organized by item description. The reason for the required data listed previously is to offer the filtered separation by die for reporting purposes. It also identifies common items utilized in several dies to support the required inventory levels, as well as obsolete inventory as dies are discontinued or transferred to other facilities. Dedicated tooling then can follow the same path.
Identifying Individual Tools. The next step is identifying the individual tools. Once again, fabricators use many systems and descriptions. Dedicated descriptions that can be utilized regardless of the tooling brand provide clarity. Before creating a numbering scheme, you should familiarize yourself with your software's capabilities and limitations. Can it distinguish a hyphen from an underscore? If it cannot, the software will identify similar tool numbers (for example, Ball Lock Punch 500-S300 M2 P.258 and Ball Lock Punch-500s300 M2 P.258) as two unique items, even though it's the same tool. It's a matter of devising a system and adhering to it—again, discipline is the key.
Many Uses for Individual Tools. The final stage of computerization is using the database. Through the catalog of built inventory you can offer the inventory to new die build groups in your company. A specification can require that tooling currently inventoried be preferred.
You and your colleagues have the opportunity to build and use a library of tooling. This library can be used to drop CAD data directly into a drawing to reduce design time as well. You will also gain a proper format for the nomenclature to be used as a description in the database function of inventory. This is the information that can then be shared with die builders. The result is fewer inventory items and larger purchase quantities of items that have volume discounts for further cost reduction opportunities.

Thorium Plasma Battery – Bunk
Posted on March 18, 2013 by Nanook
I'm always interested in new technology but every once in a while something so obviously bogus hits the net that it clogs the channels of interesting stuff with rubbish, such is the current line of crap surrounding thorium plasma batteries.
The line is that someone spent twelve years developing these nuclear batteries which supposedly last five to ten to twenty to thousands of years depending upon which version you read, and then the DOD sucked it up. Anywhere from two to half a dozen people bit the dust to cover it up.
No where in any of these postings is there an actual explanation of how these batteries are supposed to work, although there is some cross pollination between them and the so called element 115 space craft Bob Lazar talks about and also between the very real radioisotope thermal electric generators that work by using thermocouples to convert the heat from the radio-active decay of plutonium 238 (and they are experimenting with a few other isotopes) into electricity. These batteries are touted as green because they supposedly use thorium and the articles say they emit the same radiation as a cell phone.
There is so much wrong with the information given I can't believe a conspiracy theory has actually sprung up around this. First, thorium is a fertile material like uranium 238, and it is radioactive, although with a half-life of 14 billion years, thorium-232 is not highly radioactive. By contrast Uranium 238 has a half-life of 4.5 billion years and therefore is slightly more radioactive but not by much. Uranium 238 is what is referred to as "depleted" uranium, after the small percentage (approximately .7%) of U-235 is removed.
The type of radiation emitted by thorium 232 and uranium-238 is the same, both are alpha emitters. Some of the daughter elements are beta emitters and have very short half-lives. Both uranium-238 and thorium-232 can absorb a slow neutron to become a fissile isotope and thus be used as nuclear fuel. Neither are "green" in any common sense of the word. Thorium is very difficult to make weapons grade material from so it is somewhat preferred as a fuel from an anti-proliferation standpoint. The type of radiation emitted is entirely different than a cell-phone. Cell phones emit radio frequency electromagnetic waves, non-ionizing radiation. Thorium and uranium both emit ionizing alpha particles that can damage DNA and cause cancer. Being in a plasma state would not diminish the radioactivity of thorium.
If such a thing as a plasma thorium battery exists, which I seriously doubt, there would be nothing green or safe about it. If anyone knows the theoretical method of operation of these batteries I'd love to hear it though I suspect it will be just as looney as the rest of the claims surrounding it.
There is enough lithium carbonate in lake beds to build lithium batteries for the next couple of centuries. It's not a heavy metal. It's pretty cheap. It's not radiocative. Not sure I see the global problem with Li battery chemistry for the next couple of decades while new - and viable - technology emerges.
Marine GOOP = magic faerie boogers in a tube, sticks everything.
Revver Bro #231
A university in Waterloo had some experiments in Sulphur/Carbon batteries. I don't know what became of that. I guess the few kids graduated and that was the end of the project. I guess there was some nano tech for it. Sulphur stored electricity very well but wasn't a conductor, so the carbon was mixed. It would have been very light, and cheap after a while maybe.
LIthium-sulphur was also supposed to be the next thing - I forget but maybe 10-20% more energy density than current Li technology. Haven't heard a peep in a couple of years on it, mind you I have not looked either.

I don't trust the lipo batteries, and only use them in my cell phone an laptop, but then I did not chose them. I am waiting for the newer dilithium batteries myself.

Denmark Lease
Hello Folks!
I was able to locate a new lease for 2011 - I am tired of the big clubs and some of the hassles that go along with them - so for a few years now, I have been on a quest to find a piece of property to lease - that I can enjoy with a few friends.
I had a few requirements - it should be private land (not timber company), it should have long term possibilities, it should varying types of habitat, it must have a place to camp, it must have water, it should support food plots and hopefully have some agriculture on the lease or nearby.
I scouted this property in late spring of 2010 and have been back a few times since then to look it over... I cannot scout during hunting season because it is currently leased. The current hunters are losing the lease because they will not pay on time.
Best move I made was to take my wife with me the first time I met the owner - he and my wife Jo hit it off right away - great news!
I am all set to start working the place on 1 JAN 2011... I have many stand locations already picked out...
Can't wait!!!
Here are some photos of the place - let me know what you think!

First Solar Third-Quarter Profit Surges on Power-Plant Sales
Christopher MartinFirst Solar Inc., the largest U.S. solar-panel manufacturer, said third-quarter profit almost doubled on sales of power plants and revenue from new projects.
Net income rose to $195 million, or $1.94 a share, from $87.9 million, or $1, a year earlier, Tempe, Arizona-based First Solar said today in a statement. The company was expected to earn 83 cents, the average of 12 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Sales rose 51 percent to $1.27 billion.
Profit rose as First Solar recorded about half the revenue it expects to receive from its Desert Sunlight project in Southern California and sold plants that it built in Canada, the company said in a statement. The company in August said it expected to record about a third of the 550-megawatt Desert Sunlight project revenue this year.
For the year, First Solar reduced its sales guidance to $3.4 billion to $3.6 billion from an August expectation of $3.6 billion to $3.8 billion. Cost reductions will help boost 2013 net income to $4.25 to $4.50 a share, up from a prior estimate of $3.75 to $4.25.
First Solar rose 9 percent to $54.81 at 5 p.m. in New York. The shares have more than doubled in the past year.

Exploit:Java/CVE-2013-0422 is a malicious Java applet that tries to exploit a vulnerability (CVE-2013-0422) in Oracle JRE 7.
Threat in context
Java is a general-purpose programming language, but cases of this exploit are targeted against the Java plug-in for web browsers. The intent of the Java plug-in is that Java programs (or "applets") can be offered by websites, and run in a "sandbox" where the Java plug-in enforces rules on what the Java applet can do so that it cannot escape restricted environment.
The first malware to exploit this vulnerability was found in December 2012 in the wild, and publicly disclosed in January 2013. It is exploiting a package restriction issue in JRE(Java Runtime Environment). The malware uses a typical Java exploitation technique by loading its malicious payload class in a trusted code area, which makes privilege escalation possible. The payload can be embedded in the JAR (Java Archive) file, or it may be downloaded from the Internet. The payload can be any kind of malware that the attacker wants to deliver to your PC.
What is an exploit?
Exploits are written to take advantage of weaknesses (or vulnerabilities) in legitimate software. A project called Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (or CVE) is used by many vendors and organizations and gives each vulnerability a unique number, in this case "CVE-2013-0422". The portion "2013" refers to the year the vulnerability was discovered, and "0422" is a unique identifier. There is more information on the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures website.
Additional technical details
Exploit:Java/CVE-2013-0422 is a Java malware that uses a security vulnerability from JRE 7. The problem occurs with the java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle package in JRE 7. MethodHandle is a new feature introduced with JRE 7. It gives developers more convenience and flexibility with dynamic language use in Java. With this advantage, there is also a glitch with the security check when MethodHandle is used to resolve classes from the MethodHandle package itself. Specifically, you can create MethodHandle for the java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.Lookup class and it will bypass security checks when you try to use findConstructor method through this handle.
With unrestricted access, the malicious code can resolve and run restricted methods from restricted classes. The actual exploitation usually involves access to sun.org.mozilla.javascript.internal.GeneratedClassLoader and the createClassLoader method from the specific class. Access to this restricted class and method will let the malicious code to create and run malicious payload class with trusted code privileges. There are several other method names that can suffer from this issue and it is fixed by applying stricter security checks upon those methods.
This vulnerability is a logic error in checking package access when the caller is coming from specific package and the method has specific names. The exploitation doesn't rely on specific memory layout, which means the exploits are usually portable across multiple platforms, except the fact that the major portion of payload we observed are targeting Windows operating systems.
Usually exploits are written using a few Java classes working together. The various class files are bundled into an archive called a JAR, which uses the ZIP file format. Every JAR contains a Manifest.MF file to identify itself to the Java Runtime. Since it is found in every JAR, it won't be listed.
Below are some examples of files that exploit the vulnerability described in CVE-2013-0422:
Once the exploit has full privileges on your PC, it can:

The Maves lab uses zebrafish to study why certain muscle fibers are susceptible to muscular dystrophy.
The Maves lab has shown that Pbx and Meis homeodomain transcription factors are required for both skeletal muscle differentiation and heart muscle differentiation. The lab is currently trying to understand how Pbx and Meis factors influence muscle differentiation in the contexts of muscular dystrophy and congenital heart disease.
Early slow-twitch (red) and fast-twitch (green) muscle cells in a zebrafish embryo.
The Maves lab is illuminating the mechanisms that let muscular dystrophies impair muscle cells, and investigating new therapies that could limit the disease's effects.
Certain muscular dystrophies preferentially affect fast-twitch or slow-twitch muscle fibers. The Maves lab uses zebrafish and mice to investigate how particular genes control whether muscle fibers become fast-twitch or slow-twitch. This work lays the foundation for identifying therapies that could alter muscle fiber type and help muscle cells resist muscular dystrophy.
High-magnification image of muscle fibers in a zebrafish larva.
The lab is making key discoveries about how genes influence the way muscle cells form. Maves and her colleagues recently found that Pbx genes act in conjunction with the Prdm1a gene to regulate whether cells can differentiate into fast-twitch muscle cells. These findings pave the way for identifying how muscle cell differentiation is controlled.
The Maves lab collaborates with Dr. Mark Majesky on the Seattle Children's Myocardial Regeneration Initiative, which investigates how different types of heart muscle form, laying the foundation for stem cell therapies that repair congenital heart problems.
The lab is unraveling how different genes guide heart formation. For instance, in a recent paper, Maves and her colleagues showed that the gene Meis2 ensures that the heart tube - the initial structure that develops into the heart - forms properly in zebrafish. Understanding the role of this and other genes helps answer longstanding question about how the heart develops. This provides vital knowledge that will help researchers learn how to step in and correct heart development when it goes awry.
The lab is using TALEN enzymes to engineer mutations in zebrafish Meis and Pbx genes, with a goal of understanding how mutations in these genes lead to heart defects. Testing these gene functions in animal models propels Maves and her colleagues toward a future where they could correct the genes that cause heart defects in humans.

I got this primer / base for HKD 65 at Watson's Personal Store. It comes in a small white 25mL bottle / container. It claims it is "A makeup base which evens out the tone color of your face and covers all imperfections for better enhancement of your foundation."
For my own experience, well, I don't think there's any difference of this from the normal makeup bases / primers. I think it does even out the tone color of my face, but it does not cover ALL of my skin imperfections.
It is also in liquidy form, making it a negative for me. As I have mentioned in my previous blogs, I don't like anything that is liquidy because it's very hard to control compare to if it's creamy. This liquidy makeup base also comes only in one color, a beigy one, which fits my skin color perfectly. The small white bottle container is very messy.
About the staying power of this makeup base? Well, I need to retouch everytime making it a big no-no for me as well. I think I'm going to give this a pass. I'm really not that impressed with this makeup base / primer from Lavshuca.

Coda - Fusion Heaven in a Chic Basement
Coda is an exciting chic hatted restaurant just off Flinders Lane in a groovy basement that serves up innovative sharing style with Asian influences.
Walk down into the basement and grab a stool at the bar and watch the culinary team at work. Or grab a table in the various dining spaces. Funky lighting (wire covering is a talking point), cool art and large windows welcome natural light and a view of the bustling CBD above.
Head chef and co-owner Adam D'Sylva's menu dances all over fusion with Asian and European influences. Sometimes Vietnamese. Sometimes Korean. But a cacophony of styles and tastes and combinations that excite!
The staff are engaging and helpful when it comes to menu choices. The menu is so flexible so grab choices from the around 20 smaller tapas style dishes and a main or two, including the legendary Roasted Yellow Duck Curry...
In fact Coda offers some of the more notable smaller dishes in the city... Just ordering 4 or 5 of these makes for an excellent meal. I settled in at the long chunky shiny timber bar to enjoy a memorable lunch - often conversing with the Maitre d and watching the chefs in action...
After singing the praises of the rice paper roll I was quickly hailing the Char siu pork bun with pickled vegetables and chilli jam as another triumph. The pork was wonderful against the tang of pickled vegetables and the spice of the chilli jam. I was taken by the bun itself - not mushy or dry like some around the city - but great soft consistency and shape.
Honestly the highlights at Coda kept coming. I understand why this place is so popular. Passion and pride in every dish. And a high degree of culinary flair and superb presentation.
Perhaps the absolute highlight was the Quail lettuce delight,lup cheong, shitake mushroom, coriander and water chestnuts... A large lettuce leaf inside a bowl with the most delectable filling. What a way to eat quail!
I prefer this minced up version of quail to the usual quandary of battling to get quail off the bone. The richness of the quail together with silky shitake mushrooms, punch of the chinese sausage, and crunch of water chestnuts is a serious flavoursome and balancing combination. The name "Quail delight" is apt.
Chargrilled lamb cutlet with harissa and honey yoghurt is also delightful and could eat another few of these...
Coda is a chic restaurant. There's something about dining in a basement. Coda is not dark and grungy but, as you can see in the photo, filled with light during the lunch period. The crowd builds up quickly after 12pm...
Coda is an iconic Melbourne restaurant that continues to excite. Next time I intend to try the Roasted yellow duck curry or the Cape Grim Scotch fillet and indeed the Ice cream sandwich - but the option of several small dishes is attractive.

text: Oil Can Boyd Calls Wade Boggs A Racist; Boggs Responds By Calling Boyd "A Delusional Drug Addict"Dom Cosentino5/10/12 3:30pmFiled to: Boston Red SoxDennis boydDennis oil can boydoil can boydWade BoggsMlb12EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkDennis "Oil Can" Boyd and Wade Boggs were Red Sox teammates for eight seasons in the 1980s. It's safe to say they're not friends. Last Friday, Boyd appeared on "The Dennis & Callahan Morning Show" on WEEI in Boston to discuss topics ranging from growing up poor in the South to his drug use to his relationships with his former teammates.AdvertisementAt one point in the 20-minute interview, Boyd repeated a charge he had made years ago by describing Boggs as a bigot who would "use the word nigger every day," adding that it's a trait Boggs inherited from his father. Boyd also said he confronted Boggs "every damn time he did it," and that, as a result, "I would turn out to be the bad guy 'cause I questioned that shit." Boyd went on to accuse the Red Sox of racism for knowing this and doing nothing to stop it. Here is the full audio of Boyd's appearance on the program; his comments about Boggs begin around the 11:50 mark: Oh, right: Do we need to point out that Boyd has an autobiography coming out that drops on June 1?AdvertisementThis morning, "The Dennis & Callahan Morning Show" had Boggs on to respond to Boyd's comments. As you might expect, Boggs adamantly denied them. Boggs also called Boyd "a delusional drug addict" and said he and Boyd had gotten along "extremely well." At one point, Boggs handed the phone over to his wife, Debbie, who said Boyd had even asked the Boggses to be godparents to his son just days before he first told the Boston media years ago that Wade was a racist. Debbie said she and Wade confronted Boyd a short time later and that Boyd said the whole thing was a joke. The full audio of Wade and Debbie Boggs's appearance on the radio show is here: Ah, nothing like the sound of two old ballplayers banging their walkers against each other.

Exfoliation & finding your undertone are great pieces of advice. No berry or merlot lipstick for this fair skinned beauty mogul! :)

Great article, I really liked that you took the time to explain how important it is to find your true undertone and even explained how to find it. I love the colors of fall, so this was extra special to read about lip trends for this year. I myself, love the beiges and metalics, I'm a warm toned redhead, and this is my season to shine.

I agree with lip exfoliation. My lips always look better when I exfoliate. TIP: If you are not fond of the sugar scrubs, just pat water on your lips and brush them gently with your toothbrush :)

As a packed house settles into a downtown Toronto concert venue, the lights dim, the DJ hits the track, a hard chord is struck, and for the next hour the crowd becomes part of a show that is one like no other. As the axe master shreds and the beats bang, a gang of masked clad face painted psychos spit out hardcore explicit lyrics, while Semi-nude dancers fire Jagermeister out of super soakers and the devil himself determines who gets hit.
I introduce to you the "So Sick Social Club". Independently based in Toronto, So Sick for short, core members include Chris So Sick on vocals/lyrical witchcraft, Voodoo Drew on the guitar/musical rape, Phatkid the ultimate hypeman, and former member Ugly vocals/possessed side show handler.
So Sick's philosophy is to "represent the voice for the tormented, psychologically impaired, and those born into a wretched misfortune. We are the committee for the angry, the cursed and the repulsive crowds. Give us your hand and we will welcome you into a disorderly environment of violence, vengeance and good old fashion hatred".
After releasing their self-titled demo in 2008, So Sick followed it up in 2009 with their self titled EP. The album is filled with bumping beats, powerful guitar, melodic choruses, and overall twisted lyrics. The song "Kill (Wrong?)" illustrates So Sick's graphic content and a no holds barred lyrical style "I find myself playing with a bunch of kitchen knives, sharpening them up so the tips will slice nice" and "Don't give a fuck if I'm acting nutty, my focus is bloody and I'm stapling rue morgue pages all over my fucken body".
In the past year the boys have recruited high profile directing team, Bleeding Apple, to shoot their first two official music video's for the songs "Run" and "Kill". Bleeding Apple has shot videos for mega artists such as Swollen Members, Kottonmouth Kings, and Unwritten Law. Aside from their official music videos So sick has a bunch of live video footage on the net and I specifically suggest you check out their EPK and vids called So Sick TV, which really show what so sick is all about. Links are posted below.
The group has opened and played along side Techn9ne, Sid Wilson of slipknot, J Reno, Final Trigger, Burning the day, Dead Dirty Carnies, Motown Rage, Slaves on Dope and much more. According to front man, Chris So Sick, the group is vigorously working on their follow up album, which is supposed to be bigger, badder, and more fucked up then anything done in the past. Word on the street is that their will be some guest appearances from some famous and recognizable artists, I really look forward to hearing it.
So Sick Social club has been compared to many other groups, but the truth is that this unique horrorcore group is worth listening first before making any comparisons.
Check'em on Youtube, Add'em on Facebook, and buy their songs from Itunes.

I've got a couple users that are on different types of remote access..
Some via VPN, others via VPN/RDP for *terminal speed access* (I have end users who work in Cad with alot of linked files, etc).
Been looking to add either LogMeIn or GoToMyPC as well.
What do you guys use in your shop ?
I'm a developer and we use VPN/RDP.
My girlfriend does a lot of mapping/working with large data sets and they use VPN/RDP. |
We use VPN only, but several of our users are using more and more REVIT, so they may need to give them RDP access to local systems... Then that brings in the question, why are they working remote?
My team mainly uses VPN/RDP when we're working from home, but the company as a whole mostly does remote stuff via a combination of Outlook Web Access, Citrix and SharePoint.
RDP through the gateway server is my favorite.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/wind ... way-server |
VPN and RDP/VMWare View
VPN and RDP/VMWare View, we are replacing our terminal servers with View later this year. Our View environment is internet exposed but requires a RSA token (as does VPN)
A mix of Bomgar and the SCCM remote client for remote support. |
We use VPN/RDP here too. We also use Bomgar for remote troubleshooting.
Cisco Anyconnect VPN with two-factor auth, to RDP--
It's like there's an echo in here |
I like to do things that fly in the face of convention, so we use VPN/RDP (see, I used italics. mind = blown)
Bold. Can you handle it? |

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
I wrote earlier about The Lean Entrepreneur, Brant Cooper and Patrick Vlaskovits' new book. I was attracted to Brant and Patrick's work by their website, so, although I interviewed them about the book and lean principles, I find the website and marketing techniques well worth a closer look, especially for aspiring authors.
Brant and Patrick have treated the book like a start-up. That means the book is a product with a number of services attached and needs treating like any other lean start-up.
That idea is growing - that this type of original content is in fact a start-up business like any other, with the same need to create a minimally viable audience for content as lean start-ups need a minimally viable market. Brian Clark over on the Copyblogger media sites is doing a great job of crafting and conveying the message.
And the message is authors are entrepreneurs, content is a product.
If you look at the Lean Entrepreneur website you'll find a graphic similar to an SaaS feature comparison list.
You can sign up as an early adopter of Lean Entrepreneur and choose one of four offers, ranging from a PDF of an earlier work, a PDF early version of the book, and the published version, to an enterprise offer of 30 books and online consultation.
The book is a business.
And it's a tough business, say Brant and Patrick. to be heard and to get known pits you against some of the smartest thinkers on the planet. If you don't approach that with a start-up entrepreneur's zeal then you are likely to sink without trace.
So it's not just about writing the book, creating the website and taking your turn on the speaker circuit.
Brant and Patrick have been working The Lean Entrepreneur in public since 2009, and in a variety of engagements with companies of all sizes, many of whom have had an early adopters' patience and forbearance as the author's work their ideas through with the guinea-pig company.
The book has grown iteratively but so too have the services that the authors offer. And that sums it up nicely. It's not simply about a book. It is about the value you bring to other people.
But take a look at the site for yourself. I find it inspiring. You might also be interested in taking a look at this - an account of how to be more creative.

How can one still believe in the Resurrection in the face of all the bloodshed and evil that surrounds us? This is a very difficult question, which is part of an ongoing debate. The key question is how we understand suffering, not how we understand the resurrection.
For many, a worldview which suggest life is one integrated whole, informs the idea that suffering is an abberation from life. Yet when one looks at the life of Jesus Christ, it seems that he lived in the midst of suffering. One could say that for him, suffering was part of life. Of course this doesn't mean that suffering is the aim, or the over-aching theme of life, or that one should be on the lookout for suffering. What it does mean is that one should rather remain conscious of the dynamic tension between the coming reign of God and the allready present reign of God. Within this tension there will remain fragments, moments, periods of pain, suffering and loss, yet these seasons are to be viewed within the reality also of Gods presence in the midst of pain.
Yet there is more. We are also responsible for many a choice and habit which leads to suffering and pain. Whilst the ressurection mean, for Christians, that death has ended and that Evil is conquered, one need to remember that the personal and corporate life of faith is a critical dimension to make this new creation a reality. Adrio Konig, would state that evil and suffering is indeed conquered by Jesus Christ, but we must remember that it is only in Jesus Christ, that we can overcome evil.
Indeed, do we see suffering and the bloodshed and evil through the lens of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, do we see it through the lens of faith? That's the question.

text: Crazy Four Player Ping Pong Adds Elements Of PoolAndrew Liszewski1/15/12 7:00pmFiled to: GamesQuad Table Tennis GameHammacher Schlemmer26EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink In the grand tradition of Calvinball, this four player table tennis setup looks like it borrows elements from other games. Including ping pong and billiards; mashing them up into a new creation that's ready to destroy friendships. Advertisement Unlike doubles table tennis where players on each side work together to score points, it's every person for themselves in this creation. The table is split into four sections, and players can hit the ball onto whichever surface they want. The angled surfaces result in bounces that don't fly all over the room, but also require quick reflexes to return a shot. Points are scored when a player misses a shot, or when they hit the ball into the center hole of an opponent's table.Available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $250, I'm particularly fond of this unique take on table tennis because you're not stuck with a giant permanent table filling your basement or garage. I know most of them do fold up, but they're still a pain to wrangle and put away. [Hammacher Schlemmer]Reply26 repliesLeave a reply

Slain Toledo police Officer Keith Dressel and Kevin Granata, a teacher who was among 32 people killed in the massacre at Virginia Tech, are among inductees into the St. Francis de Sales High School Hall of Fame in Toledo.
Mr. Dressel, Mr. Granata, and Thomas Gouttierre, a 1958 graduate of St. Francis who is an expert on Afghan affairs, have been singled out for the hall of fame's Golden Knight Award.
The award is given biennially to graduates who have been successful in their careers or made significant impact on the community at large.
Sue Kenney, a high school spokesman, said Mr. Dressel, a 1989 graduate, and Mr. Granata, of the 1980 class, are the first graduates to receive the Golden Knight posthumously.
Larry Moreland (1961), Brian Burns (1985), and Tom Takats (1992), who were athletes, and the 1989 state championship swim team also will be inducted into the hall of fame.
Richard Eastop, senior associate consultant with Noel-Levitz and recently retired vice president for enrollment services at the University of Toledo, will receive the Service Award, which is given to a nongraduate who through generosity, involvement, and service, has made a significant impact on the school.
Detective Dressel, who grew up in Ottawa Lake, was shot and killed Feb. 21, 2007, while working undercover in the vice/narcotics unit in North Toledo.
A member of the police department since 1993, he was 35 years old.
At St. Francis, he was an honor student, participated in intramural sports, and played saxophone in the marching band.
When Mr. Granata was in high school, he participated in athletics, drama, and chess, and was on the debate team.
He received degrees from Ohio State University and Purdue University.
In 2003, he joined Virginia Tech, where he was director of the musculoskeletal Biomechanics Lab and was a full professor at the college at the time of his death.
Mr. Granata, 45, was shot in the hallway of Norris Hall during the shooting rampage on April
16, 2007.
It's believed he was one of the last victims before the gunman committed suicide.
Mr. Gouttierre spent 10 years in Afghanistan as a Peace Corps volunteer and Fulbright Fellow, and served as the senior political affairs officer on the U.N. peacekeeping mission to Afghanistan in 1996-1997.
Mr. Gouttierre is dean of international studies and programs at the University of Nebraska, Omaha, where he directs the Center for Afghanistan Studies.
Considered one of the United States' leading experts on Afghanistan, Mr.Gouttierre has given briefings on that part of the world to committees of the U.S. Congress, the British Parliament, the French National Assembly, and the United Nations.

Wow, my attention needs some serious training! Totally interesting that it's your highest category. (I bet Kevin's score there would be really high too.)
BPI = 934 (77.2th percentile)
Speed = 1162 (86th percentile)
Memory = 999 (79.1th percentile)
Attention = 413 (31.8th percentile)
Flexibility = 978 (78.5th percentile)
Problem Solving = 1120 (88th percentile)
Did you follow some of the "reader's tips" in the right column? Those are kinda helpful I think…things to think about re: using the keyboard differently…check those out cuz I think they really helped!
And um, you kicked my ASS in the attention category…seriously! How do you concentrate so well in an Airstream with another person right across from you??? I can't do it! I'm going to try it again when we get home and see if I can do better. 🙂
I read one time when I was in art school that it takes a certain amount of time to get into a creative, focused zone (maybe 30 minutes or so) and you can be knocked out of it instantly…then it can take that long again to get back. (That's why it was so hard for me to have my painting studio at home!)
When you go to "games" you can click on the left to choose the kinds of games you want to practice. For me…I'll be choosing "attention" for a while I think. 🙂
thanks for reminding me of Lumosity…..great Christmas gift for some….including self….

Recognizes Factor VII, a serine protease found circulating in the blood. It initiates the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation in conjunction with tissue factor. Tissue factor is found on the outside of blood vessels. When the vessels is damaged, tissue factor is exposed to the blood and circulating Factor VII. Once bound to tissue factor, Factor VII is activated by different proteases and converts Factor IX to IXa. Factor VII deficiency is a rare hereditary hemorrhagic disease. Symptoms range from mild to severe. Clone RFF-VII/1 is a strong inhibitor of Factor VII activity. It may be used to detect Factor VII in immunoassays in combination with clone RFF-VII/2 as a capture reagent. |

Upon activation of the factor VII, a heavy chain containing a catalytic domain and a light chain containing 2 EGF-like domains are generated, and two chains are held together by a disulfide bond.
