But Russia s muscle flexing behavior leaves Western leaders perplexed and wary, which seems a dubious way for the Kremlin to secure Russia s new stature. Contentious foreign policy makes contacts uneasy and agreements difficult to reach.

No one seems to know how to respond to China s diplomatic and military muscle flexing in Asia, for the extent of China s ambitions remains utterly unclear. But, while everyone else ponders China s motives, its government is acting.

Nor is there any plan on offer from other emerging powers, though in time India may show growing alarm about China s muscle flexing, and Brazil may question whether it has really been wise to cosset Venezuela and Cuba.

But the recent military muscle flexing with rocket tests and the rejection of a compromise by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad and his foreign minister show that the country s leadership is seriously divided over the strategic line that Iran should pursue.

This diplomatic and economic realism is more than a reversal of the neo conservative muscle flexing of the George W. Bush years. It is an attempt by a declining power to use its restrained capabilities in a more economical way.

Don't move a muscle.

Okay. What's the muscle for?

And the other really interesting thing is that when skeletal muscle there's been several reports that when skeletal muscle is injured, that's what correlates with metastases going to skeletal muscle.

That's what you're seeing here. You're seeing this muscle bio reactor actually exercising the muscle back and forth.

Charles Limb Building the musical muscle

And I'm peeling that muscle away.

The cat didn't move a muscle.

Drawn to his muscle and brawn

Right, now, don't move a muscle.

This is actually showing a piece of muscle and how we go through the structures to actually engineer the muscle.

Turns out, Tony's got the philosophy muscle.

So the muscle contracts, and nothing happens.

Turns out, Tony's got the philosophy muscle.

Muscle is constantly being used constantly being damaged.

You place the muscle cells on the outside.

We coat the outside with these muscle cells.

We then start adding the muscle on top.

And don't let anybody try to muscle in.

We got the best muscle on the waterfront.

Some of my hypotheses are that when you first think about skeletal muscle, there's a lot of blood vessels going to skeletal muscle.

So, is it possible that the tumor cells are going to the skeletal muscle tissue, but once in contact inside the skeletal muscle tissue, MyoD acts upon these tumor cells and causes them to become skeletal muscle cells?

We take muscle cells, we paste, or coat the outside with these muscle cells, very much like baking a layer cake, if you will.

But Japan s international muscle flexing under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe may be even more significant. Unless it is very carefully managed by all concerned, including the United States and Japan s other closest Asia Pacific allies, Abe s makeover of Japanese foreign policy could undermine the fragile power balances that have so far kept the Sino American rivalry in check.

It's not harmful it has just repaired the muscle.

But China s recent shift away from muscle flexing, and its confluence of interests with a US led order, offers hope that it will not fuel large scale regional instability this year. Indeed, China withdrew its jumbo oil platform from the waters of the disputed Paracel Islands last July, and it has been sending surveillance ships to the Senkaku Islands less frequently.

We needed to see skin moving over muscle moving over bone.

And then he took out a third of my quadriceps muscle.

Okay. These are flat structures that we see here, the muscle.
