Girl saves mom suffering diabetic attack

A fast thinking 9-year-old Illinois girl was able to help guide her mother to safety after the woman suffered a diabetic attack while driving at speeds of up to 70 mph.

Jennifer Sheridan, 42, was driving her daughter Aleksandra to McDonald's in Frankfort, Ill., after the two had attended a high school basketball game on the evening of Jan. 18. Sheridan, who has type 2 diabetes, had a diabetic attack when her blood sugar suddenly dropped. She told ABCNews.com that she was not aware of what was happening.

"I was still conscious, and talking, my daughter said. I don't remember any of that," Sheridan said. "We went through, she says, a red light, and then I know I kept saying, 'We have to stop.' That was in my mind, but it wasn't clicking."

Sheridan said that they passed her house and the McDonald's. Aleksandra was screaming and crying during the wayward drive, which she says must have lasted 15 to 20 minutes, but kept talking to her mother.

"She says she kept telling me different things, that I was going too fast, or too slow," Sheridan said.

While the car was still moving, Sheridan's husband called. She said that Aleksandra was on phone screaming that they were going off the road.

Her car eventually veered to the right, through a small ditch and a group of trees. At that point Aleksandra turned the car off, preventing the still moving car from hitting a tree.

Luckily, both mother and daughter were unharmed. Once the car was off, Aleksandra slowly fed her mother a chocolate bar that was in the car's cup holder.

"Once we were stopped and she could focus, she fed me," Sheridan said. "She said, 'I kept just giving little pieces so you wouldn't choke.'"

Police and the fire department were called to the scene by a passerby who saw the incident. The story also caught local media attention from WBBM-TV and Fox News.

Sheridan says the next thing she actually remembers was being in the ambulance. Police who arrived on the scene congratulated Aleksandra, and even gave her a yellow duck toy, which they call the "Golden Duck Award for Heroes."

This is not the first time Aleksandra has come to her mom's aid when she had a diabetic attack. Two years ago, while they were in their home, the girl called 911 when she found her mother on the kitchen floor.

Sheridan said that she is now using an insulin pump, which is designed to eliminate lows in blood sugar in diabetics. She said that she will soon be on the list for a new pancreas. With a daughter and a 16-year-old son with cerebral palsy, she says she needs to be in top form. For now, she's happy that both she and Aleksandra are unscathed.

"Every day, I wake up and think, 'Yes!'" she said.

Film Review: Parker ? ColumbusUnderground.com

Historically Jason Statham films have been released on a pretty stable schedule. Almost without fail his film?s are released in two periods of the year; January through April and August through October. Other than that the calendar is otherwise pretty much Statham free. That?s why when you see a Jason Statham film being released during what is normally considered a theatrical dead zone you shouldn?t necessarily think it?s because it?s a crummy movie, it?s because the studio follows a specific formula (Statham + Off Season Release Date = Cash).

After pulling a daring heist, a career criminal is betrayed by his co-conspirators and left for dead. Instead of moving on with his life he decides to get revenge by hatching a daring plan to get what is owed to him.

Most Jason Statham characters have a lot in common with each other; they?re charming, physically gifted, have a unique moral code, a beautiful and understanding girlfriend, an older father figure that taught them the ropes, and have some kind of military or criminal past that they?re trying to escape so he and the aforementioned girlfriend can live out the rest of their lives in quiet luxury. Parker is not an exception to that rule, in fact it?s further proof that he?s been playing the same character for almost a decade. What sets Parker apart is the fact that it?s the best Statham headlined film since 2008?s The Bank Job.

It may be business as usual on screen for Statham, but nevertheless Parker might be one of the most balanced films in Statham?s career thanks large in part to the direction of Taylor Hackford. Best known for his work on An Officer and a Gentleman, Dolores Claiborne, and the Ray Charles biopic Ray, Hackford brings a lot of maturity to Parker while still remaining entertaining. It?s no surprise that two of Statham?s best recent performances have come at the hands of seasoned directors like that of Roger Donaldson on The Bank Job.

The script, by Black Swan writer John J. McLaughlin, effectively takes author Donald E. Westlake?s Parker character and adapts him to fit Statham?s strengths. Hackford and McLauglin make the right decisions on how much humor, action, and drama they inject into the film and time it appropriately. Rarely did Parker take itself too seriously, there are plenty of opportunities for humor but it never becomes too tongue-in-cheek.

Despite Statham?s limited range he?s enjoyable to watch. Most of the supporting cast is made up of strong ensemble players; some are household names like Michael Chiklis, Nick Nolte, and Clifton Collins Jr. Others like Emma Booth and Micah Hauptman aren?t as well known but still deliver enjoyable performances. Parker?s weakest link is Jennifer Lopez; she just felt completely wrong for the film from top to bottom. Her presence in Parker reeks of desperation to be seen in something other than a romantic comedy. Lopez and Statham have no chemistry together; their platonic relationship adds about as much excitement to the story as her character?s car repossession storyline? in other words, none. Women and Latinos may be more interested in checking out Parker with her name attached to the project, but the film itself doesn?t benefit from her inclusion.

It doesn?t feature non-stop action, but Parker is no slouch either. Statham is a more human hero than in many of his previous films; he?s not the invincible Superman type action star we?ve seen so many times before. If there?s an area where the action suffers however it?s in the form of some questionable CGI. More than once there are some jarringly cheap looking special effects that look absolutely ridiculous by 2013 standards, even for a modestly budgeted action film.

Parker doesn?t re-invent the action film, but I doubt many people expected it to. If you enjoy a well produced action film or Jason Statham films in general than it?s a pretty safe bet that Parker is going to suit your needs. Taylor Hackford?s direction is a pleasant surprise, Statham continues show that he?s this generations Arnold or Sly, and overall Parker is a fun film that hits most of the right notes.

Consumer alert: new health care markets on the way

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Buying your own health insurance will never be the same.

This fall, new insurance markets called exchanges will open in each state, marking the long-awaited and much-debated debut of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

The goal is quality coverage for millions of uninsured people in the United States. What the reality will look like is anybody's guess ? from bureaucracy, confusion and indifference to seamless service and satisfied customers.

Exchanges will offer individuals and their families a choice of private health plans resembling what workers at major companies already get. The government will help many middle-class households pay their premiums, while low-income people will be referred to safety-net programs they might qualify for.

Most people will go online to pick a plan when open enrollment starts Oct. 1. Counselors will be available at call centers and in local communities, too. Some areas will get a storefront operation or kiosks at the mall. Translation to Spanish and other languages spoken by immigrants will be provided.

When you pick a plan, you'll no longer have to worry about getting turned down or charged more because of a medical problem. If you're a woman, you can't be charged a higher premium because of gender. Middle-aged people and those nearing retirement will get a price break: They can't be charged more than three times what younger customers pay, compared with six times or seven times today.

If all this sounds too good to be true, remember that nothing in life is free and change isn't easy.

Starting Jan. 1, 2014, when coverage takes effect in the exchanges, virtually everyone in the country will be required by law to have health insurance or face fines. The mandate is meant to get everybody paying into the insurance pool.

Obama's law is called the Affordable Care Act, but some people in the new markets might experience sticker shock over their premiums. Smokers will face a financial penalty. Younger, well-to-do people who haven't seen the need for health insurance may not be eligible for income-based assistance with their premiums.

Many people, even if they get government help, will find that health insurance still doesn't come cheaply. Monthly premiums will be less than the mortgage or rent, but maybe more than a car loan. The coverage, however, will be more robust than most individual plans currently sold.

Consider a hypothetical family of four making $60,000 and headed by a 40-year-old. They'll be eligible for a government tax credit of $7,193 toward their annual premium of $12,130. But they'd still have to pay $4,937, about 8 percent of their income, or about $410 a month.

A lower-income family would get a better deal from the government's sliding-scale subsidies.

Consider a similar four-person family making $35,000. They'd get a $10,742 tax credit toward the $12,130 annual premium. They'd have to pay $1,388, about 4 percent of their income, or about $115 a month.

The figures come from the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation's online Health Reform Subsidy Calculator. But while the government assistance is called a tax credit and computed through the income tax system, the money doesn't come to you in a refund. It goes directly to insurers.

Obama's law is the biggest thing that's happened to health care since Medicare and Medicaid in the 1960s. But with open enrollment for exchange plans less than 10 months away, there's a dearth of consumer information. It's as if the consumer angle got drowned out by the political world's dispute over "Obamacare," the dismissive label coined by Republican foes.

Yet exchanges are coming to every state, even those led by staunch GOP opponents of the overhaul, such as Govs. Rick Perry of Texas and Nikki Haley of South Carolina. In their states and close to 20 others that are objecting, the exchanges will be operated by the federal government, over state opposition. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has pledged that every citizen will have access to an exchange come next Jan. 1, and few doubt her word.

But what's starting to dawn on Obama administration officials, activists, and important players in the health care industry is that the lack of consumer involvement, unless reversed, could turn the big health care launch into a dud. What if Obama cut the ribbon and nobody cared?

"The people who stand to benefit the most are the least aware of the changes that are coming," said Rachel Klein, executive director of Enroll America, a nonprofit that's trying to generate consumer enthusiasm.

"My biggest fear is that we get to Oct. 1 and people haven't heard there is help coming, and they won't benefit from it as soon as they can," she added. "I think it is a realistic fear."

Even the term "exchange" could be a stumbling block. It was invented by policy nerds. Although the law calls them "American Health Benefit Exchanges," Sebelius is starting to use the term "marketplaces" instead.

Polls underscore the concerns. A national survey last October found that only 37 percent of the uninsured said they would personally be better off because of the health care law. Twenty-three percent said they would be worse off in the Kaiser poll, while 31 percent said it would make no difference to them.

Insurers, hospitals, drug companies and other businesses that stand to benefit from the hundreds of billions of dollars the government will pump in to subsidize coverage aren't waiting for Washington to educate the public.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, for example, are trying to carve out a new role for themselves as explainers of the exchanges. Somewhere around 12 million people now purchase coverage individually, but the size of the market could double or triple with the new approach, and taxpayers will underwrite it.

"Consumers are expecting their health insurance provider to be a helpful navigator to them," said Maureen Sullivan, a senior vice president for the Blues' national association. "We see 2013 as a huge year for education."

One goal is to help consumers master the "metals," the four levels of coverage that will be available through exchange plans ? bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.

Blue Cross is also working with tax preparer H&R Block, which is offering its customers a health insurance checkup at no additional charge this tax season. Returns filed this year for 2012 will be used by the government to help determine premium subsidies for 2014.

"This tax season is one of historical significance," said Meg Sutton, senior advisor for tax and health care at H&R Block. "The tax return you are filing is going to be key to determining your health care benefits on the exchange."

Only one state, Massachusetts, now has an exchange resembling what the administration wants to see around the country. With six years in business, the Health Connector enrolls about 240,000 Massachusetts residents. It was created under the health overhaul plan passed by former Republican Gov. Mitt Romney and has gotten generally positive reviews.

Connector customer Robert Schultz is a Boston area startup business consultant who got his MBA in 2008, when the economy was tanking. Yet he was able to find coverage when he graduated and hang on to his insurance through job changes since. Schultz says that's freed him to pursue his ambition of becoming a successful entrepreneur ? a job creator instead of an employee.

"It's being portrayed by opponents as being socialistic," said Schultz. "It is only socialistic in the sense of making sure that everybody in society is covered, because the cost of making sure everybody is covered in advance is much less than the cost of putting out fires."

The Connector's executive director, Glen Shor, said his state has proven the concept works and he's confident other states can succeed on their own terms.

"There is no backing away from all the challenges associated with expanding coverage," Shor said. "We are proud in Massachusetts that we overcame what had been years of policy paralysis."

Research may lead to new strategies against sepsis

Jan. 25, 2013 ? Scientists at the Center for Translational Medicine at the Temple University School of Medicine are inching closer to solving a long-standing mystery in sepsis, a complex and often life-threatening condition that affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S. every year. By blocking the activity of a protein, STIM1, in cells that line the insides of blood vessels in mice, they have halted a cascade of cellular events that culminates in the out-of-control inflammation that marks sepsis, and protected lungs from severe damage.

The findings, reported online January 25, 2013 in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, provide new insights into molecular details underlying sepsis and its effects on the lungs. In identifying STIM1 as a potential drug target, the results may lead to new treatment strategies against sepsis.

"While antibiotics are improving, more than 25 percent of those who develop sepsis will die from it. This is partly because we don't fully understand the mechanisms behind the widespread inflammation it causes," said senior author Muniswamy Madesh, PhD, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry at Temple University School of Medicine and a member of Temple's Center for Translational Medicine. "We've provided evidence indicating that without STIM1 driving calcium signaling, the exacerbation of inflammation can't occur. Our results could lead to a whole range of new therapeutic research directions."

STIM1 plays a variety of roles in the cells, including serving as a sensor for the amount of calcium inside a cell, and driving calcium signaling, which is important for cellular communication. In sepsis, a bacterial infection produces toxins that cause the body's normal reaction to infection to go haywire, prompting the immune system to attack the body's own organs and tissues.

According to Dr. Madesh, these toxins -- small molecules called lipopolysaccharides -- set off a chain of events. They initially bind to endothelial cell receptors, sending chemical signals that can result in "oxidative" damage to cells. STIM proteins can detect this cell damage, and drive the flow of calcium ions into the cell, increasing calcium signaling. The resulting fluctuations in calcium levels activate endothelial cells.

"When the endothelial cells are activated, they express various pro-inflammatory molecules, which facilitate white blood cells to adhere to endothelial cells and migrate from the blood to lung tissue," Dr. Madesh explained. "This cell migration further stimulates the immune system, increasing the release of other signaling molecules and factors. But how this occurs hasn't been completely understood."

Dr. Madesh and his colleagues wanted to better understand how STIM proteins were involved in lung inflammation and injury, which is commonly seen in sepsis. Such injury can lead to edema, or fluid, in the lungs, and possibly death. Their previous research had indicated that STIM1 played an important role in oxidative cell damage-altered calcium levels.

To find out, the researchers created mice lacking STIM1 in endothelial cells, and in a series of experiments, compared these mice to normal mice exposed to the sepsis toxin. They found that without STIM1 in the cells, the calcium fluctuations did not occur, and endothelial cells were protected against the toxin-induced lung injury.

The investigators also used a small molecule, BTP2, to see the effect on lung damage of physically blocking the STIM1 signaling pathway. "We found that the small molecule inhibitor blocked this calcium entry in the channel, as opposed to the other strategy in which the STIM1 gene was knocked out. Eliminating STIM1 or blocking the channel both reduced the permeability of the lungs' blood vessels and lessened lung edema. We can block this pathway using both genetic and pharmacological approaches, and both protected against endotoxin-induced lung inflammation," Dr. Madesh said.

"Although this STIM-mediated signaling pathway is essential for development and other functions, in the case of vascular inflammation, blocking the pathway protected that animal from the damage involved. While several other pathways have been established in the sepsis model, our finding is a new signaling pathway that could be targeted for therapeutic interventions."

Because BTP2 targets a specific calcium channel rather than the protein itself, Dr. Madesh said that one of his team's next goals is to "design new molecules that target the activation of the STIM protein." This same strategy could be used for other diseases or conditions, including stroke, that involve STIM-controlled calcium signaling, he noted.

North Korea threatens an attack over sanctions

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea threatened to attack rival South Korea if Seoul joined a new round of tightened U.N. sanctions, as Washington unveiled more of its own economic restrictions following Pyongyang's rocket launch last month.

In a third straight day of fiery rhetoric, the North directed its verbal onslaught at its neighbor on Friday, saying: "'Sanctions' mean a war and a declaration of war against us."

The reclusive North has this week declared a boycott of all dialogue aimed at ending its nuclear program and vowed to conduct more rocket and nuclear tests after the U.N. Security Council censured it for a December long-range missile launch.

"If the puppet group of traitors takes a direct part in the U.N. 'sanctions,' the DPRK will take strong physical counter-measures against it," the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said, referring to the South.

The committee is the North's front for dealings with the South. DPRK is short for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The U.N. Security Council unanimously condemned North Korea's December rocket launch on Tuesday and expanded existing U.N. sanctions.

On Thursday, the United States slapped economic sanctions on two North Korean bank officials and a Hong Kong trading company that it accused of supporting Pyongyang's proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

The company, Leader (Hong Kong) International Trading Ltd, was separately blacklisted by the United Nations on Wednesday.

Seoul has said it will look at whether there are any further sanctions that it can implement alongside the United States, but said the focus for now is to follow Security Council resolutions.

The resolution said the council "deplores the violations" by North Korea of its previous resolutions, which banned Pyongyang from conducting further ballistic missile and nuclear tests and from importing materials and technology for those programs. It does not impose new sanctions on Pyongyang.

The United States had wanted to punish North Korea for the rocket launch with a Security Council resolution that imposed entirely new sanctions against Pyongyang, but Beijing rejected that option. China agreed to U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang after North Korea's 2006 and 2009 nuclear tests.

NUCLEAR TEST WORRY

North Korea's rhetoric this week amounted to some of the angriest outbursts against the outside world coming under the leadership of Kim Jong-un, who took over after the death of his father Kim Jong-il in late 2011.

On Thursday, the North said it would carry out further rocket launches and a nuclear test, directing its ire at the United States, a country it called its "sworn enemy".

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said the comments were worrying.

"We are very concerned with North Korea's continuing provocative behavior," he said at a Pentagon news conference.

"We are fully prepared ... to deal with any kind of provocation from the North Koreans. But I hope in the end that they determine that it is better to make a choice to become part of the international family."

North Korea is not believed to have the technology to deliver a nuclear warhead capable of hitting the continental United States, although its December launch showed it had the capacity to deliver a rocket that could travel 10,000 km (6,200 miles), potentially putting San Francisco in range, according to an intelligence assessment by South Korea.

South Korea and others who have been closely observing activities at the North's known nuclear test grounds believe Pyongyang is technically ready to go ahead with its third atomic test and awaiting the political decision of its leader.

The North's committee also declared on Friday that a landmark agreement it signed with the South in 1992 on eliminating nuclear weapons from the Korean peninsula was invalid, repeating its long-standing accusation that Seoul was colluding with Washington.

The foreign ministry of China, the North's sole remaining major diplomatic and economic benefactor, repeated its call for calm on the Korean peninsula at its daily briefing on Friday.

"The current situation on the Korea peninsula is complicated and sensitive," spokesman Hong Lei said.

"We hope all relevant parties can see the big picture, maintain calm and restraint, further maintain contact and dialogue, and improve relations, while not taking actions to further complicate and escalate the situation," Hong said.

But unusually prickly comments in Chinese state media on Friday hinted at Beijing's exasperation.

"It seems that North Korea does not appreciate China's efforts," said the Global Times in an editorial, a sister publication of the official People's Daily.

"Just let North Korea be 'angry' ... China hopes for a stable peninsula, but it's not the end of the world if there's trouble there. This should be the baseline of China's position."

'Ben and Kate' Pulled From Fox Schedule

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Fox has pulled its freshman comedy "Ben and Kate" from its schedule, effective immediately, the network said Wednesday.

The series, which has aired 13 episodes so far and aired Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m., will return at a later date to be determined, the network added.

For the time being, one-hour installments of "Raising Hope" will run Tuesdays at 8 p.m. to cover the programming hole through the February sweeps (except for February 19, when a "New Girl" repeat will air at 8:30).

The season premiere of "Hell's Kitchen" will air Tuesday, March 12 at 8 p.m. The Gordon Ramsay reality hit will occupy the Tuesdays at 8-9 p.m. slot from there on in, preceding "New Girl" and "The Mindy Project."

"Raising Hope" will air its season premiere with a one-hour episode on Thursday, March 28, following "American Idol."

The series, which stars Dakota Johnson as Type-A single mother Kate and Nat Faxon as her laid-back brother Ben, who moves in with his sister to help care for her daughter, premiered in September with a lukewarm 2.0 rating/6 share in the 18-49 demographic most important advertisers and 4.2 million total viewers. Its most recent episode, airing this week, posted a 1.2/3 - a modest improvement over the previous week - with 2.6 million total viewers.

During the Television Critics Association winter press tour in January, Fox entertainment chief Kevin Reilly expressed disappointment that the network's Tuesday night comedy block hadn't been a bigger ratings hit so far, noting that he believes in the quality of the shows but that audiences may need time to find them.

Options market sees big move in Apple shares after earnings

NEW YORK/CHICAGO (Reuters) - The options market is bracing for a big move in Apple shares after it posts earnings on Wednesday, amid what has been a dramatic plunge for the world's most valuable publicly traded company.

Apple shares were trading at just around $500 on Tuesday, down sharply from $702.10 in September, on worries that its mobile devices are no longer as popular.

Based on options activity just hours before the announcement, traders were estimating about a 7 percent one-day move after the earnings, which would be a much more volatile outcome than normal for Apple. Such a move could push the shares as low as $465 or as high as $535, depending on how earnings come out.

"Three ingredients make this earnings for Apple especially appetizing for options traders: (CEO) Tim Cook has missed earnings estimates 60 percent of the time over the past five quarters, the stock has crashed almost 30 percent since September, and no stock has as many hedge funds owning it," said Gareth Feighery, a founder of options education firm Markettamer.com in Philadelphia.

"Combine those three factors together and Apple is a fireworks display ready to ignite, which makes it no surprise to see its options building in a move of close to 7 percent post-earnings."

In the previous eight quarters, the average one-day earnings move has been 3.9 percent, according to RiskReversal.com, an options research firm based in New York.

As competition intensifies from Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and others using Google Inc's Android software, investors are wondering if Apple's days of hyper growth are over.

Despite the sharp decline in recent months that cost Apple nearly $190 billion in market capitalization - about equal to the entire value of AT&T - plenty of Apple bulls remain on Wall Street, with about four-fifths of the nearly 60 analysts covering the company rating it "buy" or "strong buy," according to Thomson Reuters data.

The median price target on Wall Street is $745, which is roughly 50 percent above Apple's current stock price.

Dan Nathan, a co-founder of options research firm RiskReversal.com, expects a bounce in shares after results.

"The sentiment got too negative too fast, and expectations for Q1 and Q2 may be achievable and possibly even too low," he said. Nathan said the stock could rebound to about $550 before running into problems if Apple can "beat and dispel most of the rumors about either iPhone demand or production issues in the quarter, and guide in-line or a tad higher than Wall Street consensus."

Apple shares are trading at 9.8 times estimated forward 12-month earnings, a level that analysts say is unusually inexpensive for a company with its growth profile.

But some were more cautious, given the loss of momentum in the stock that had helped it hit records in September and drive the S&P's rally through the summer.

"While there is a bulk of activity in calls way out-of-the-money in prices like $520 and $550, there is also a lot of buying of the at-the-money puts at around $500", suggesting that the put buyers who are most likely to be Apple stock owners, are hedging against an immediate downside risk, said JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at TD Ameritrade.

Feighery noted that February weekly $510 strike calls expiring on the week of February 22 are cheaper than their equivalent puts, suggesting concerns about whether Apple can "bounce back short-term with conviction and maintain its gains."

Analysts on average estimate Apple's fiscal first-quarter earnings per share at $13.41, down slightly from $13.87 in the year-earlier quarter. Revenue is seen up 18 percent at $54.7 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Wall Street estimates Apple sold between 47.5 million and 53 million iPhones, up considerably from the 26.9 million sold in the previous quarter, when the iPhone 5 had not made it to all markets. IPad sales are expected at 23 million to 25 million.

BEIJING (AP) ? Nearly 40 minutes have been chopped from the Hollywood film "Cloud Atlas" for Chinese audiences, deleting both gay and straight love scenes to satisfy local censors despite a movie-going public that increasingly chafes at censorship.

It premiered Tuesday in Beijing in a red-carpet ceremony with actor Hugo Weaving and China's own Zhou Xun, but won't start running in Chinese theaters until next Thursday. The filmmaker's Chinese partners have slashed that version from the U.S. runtime of 172 minutes to a pared-down 134 to expunge the "passionate" episodes.

"The 172-minute version can be downloaded online ... so I am sure some people will prefer that to going to the cinema," said movie fan Kong Kong, 27, who lives in Shanghai.

Chinese citizens have recently become more outspoken, especially on social media, with complaints about censorship of imported films as well as the home-grown movie industry and news media, much of it imposed over elements that might make China look bad. Awkward cuts by the censors to the most recent James Bond offering "Skyfall," which opened here Monday, prompted calls for a review of the film censorship system.

"Even these kinds of movies are getting censored, for what?" wrote Wei Xinhong, deputy editor in chief at Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing Bureau, on his Twitter-like Sina Weibo. "What kind of era do we live in today! Still want to control people's minds?"

He said he was left confused after watching China's version of the 007 movie, which deleted a bloody scene showing a French hitman killing a Chinese security guard. It also changed the subtitles of Bond's conversation with a young woman in the Chinese territory of Macau about her past ? references to her as a teenage prostitute morphed into a mention of her membership in the mafia.

The "Cloud Atlas" filmmakers say they are confident their movie will retain its "integrity" despite being 38 minutes lighter.

Executive producer Philip Lee said Thursday that the filmmakers knew they would have to "follow the censorship requirements" to have the movie shown in China. He said he hadn't yet seen the censored version that will come out next week, but that he was confident that the Chinese distributor, Dreams of Dragon Pictures, had made the right changes.

"We have very strong belief in our partner Dreams of the Dragon Pictures," Lee said. "They have been extremely helpful and collaborative and I am sure they will protect the integrity of the film makers, our creativity and vision."

A woman surnamed Su in charge of propaganda for Dreams of the Dragon Pictures refused to comment Thursday. Phone calls to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television rang unanswered.

China allows only 34 foreign films to be shown in its movie theaters each year and 14 of those have to be in 3D or IMAX format. However, pirated DVDs of Hollywood blockbusters are widely available in China, sometimes the result of recording films as they are shown in American or European movie theaters.

"I'm kind of surprised that the directors or the film's producers would accept such a hefty edit on this," Florian Fettweis of Beijing-based media consultancy CMM-I said of "Cloud Atlas." Usually if Hollywood movies encounter heavy censorship, the makers change their mind about showing it in China, he said.

Fettweis said that happened with the 2008 Batman movie "The Dark Knight."

"Commonly big Hollywood directors are the ones who don't accept edits to their films," said Fettweis.

China's authoritarian government strictly controls print media, television, radio and the Internet. China doesn't have a classification system, so all movies shown at its cinemas are open to adults and children of any age. This has led to calls for a tiered classification that would give clearer guidelines to filmmakers and allow some films to be less heavily censored.

There are two strands to the Chinese censorship ? prudishness and political sensitivities, said Steve Tsang, an expert on contemporary Chinese studies at the University of Nottingham in Britain.

The censoring of gay love scenes in "Cloud Atlas" falls into the first category while cuts to "Skyfall" are in the second, broadly defined as anything that portrays China or the Chinese in a negative light. "Shooting a Chinese officer in uniform, they don't want to encourage that," said Tsang.

The screen time of a pirate played by Hong Kong actor Chow Yun Fat in the 2007 "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" was slashed in half by censors for "vilifying and defacing the Chinese," according to the official Xinhua News Agency at the time.

The changes made to Skyfall were widely reported in state-run media. Xinhua quoted Shi Chuan, a professor from Shanghai University's film department, as saying: "Movie regulators should respect the producers' original ideas, rather than chopping scenes arbitrarily." He renewed calls for the establishment of laws and norms for movie censors to follow.

Cinema-goers who saw the censored version were confused by the cuts, which also deleted a character's line about having been tortured by Chinese security agents.

"Now I know why I was so confused when I watched it, and not able to connect each scene," a movie goer, Gao Yuan, who works for a cultural publishing company in Beijing, said on her Sina Weibo. "It's not worth watching any good movies if they cut them like this. Maybe just don't import it."

Could Coconut Oil Be the Unlikely Hero for Alzheimer's? | Gnet ...

There have been recent reports in the press of an unlikely treatment for Alzheimer?s disease, which produces results like nothing seen before. Those experimenting with this home-trialed remedy have experienced a much higher brain function, including improved memory and awareness, better moods, and a renewed grasp on daily life. And the treatment in question? Simply a few large spoonfuls of coconut oil everyday.

Coconut Oil: What is it?

Coconut oil is very simply an oil derived from the meat of the coconut. It is used worldwide in a number of ways, as a cooking ingredient, as a moisturiser for skin and hair, in soaps and in candles.

Coconut oil is very simply an oil derived from the meat of the coconut. It is used worldwide in a number of ways, as a cooking ingredient, as a moisturiser for skin and hair, in soaps and in candles.

Alzheimer?s and Coconut Oil:

So how could this simple vegetable oil help with one of the most prevalent age-related diseases that exists? Well, the truth is, we are still not entirely sure. At this stage, the results are purely anecdotal, and no thorough clinical study has been carried out to validate these claims.

However, we are not just talking about a few anecdotes here- there are simply hundreds of reports, primarily across the United States, which tell the same story: namely, after a few weeks of taking a spoonful of coconut oil twice a day, the family are able to reclaim a little bit of quality time with a family member that they thought they had lost to the disease.

Although the exact science behind the discovery is not yet known, there is a main theory that could back-up coconut oil?s usefulness as a treatment. Professor Kieran Clarke from the physiological biochemistry department at Oxford University, suggests that the answer lies in the high levels of fat found in the oil.

The food we eat everyday is converted to energy in the body- this happens most easily with carbohydrates, which are broken down to sugars and provide, in this case, our brain cells with all the fuel they need to carry out their individual functions.

When we don?t eat for a while, our cells will support themselves by using our stored fat as an alternative fuel source. This fat does not break down as sugars, but rather as ketones, which will feed the brain cells until we supply it with a ready supply of sugars again. Coconut oil contains large amounts of the right sort of fat that can be broken down into ketones.

In the case of people with Alzheimer?s, it seems to be the case that these ketones can feed the brain cells in a way that the sugars from food are no longer able to. And the result is that the brain can operate at a much higher function, and some of its previous health can be temporarily restored.

Coconut oil is also very high in polyphenols; antioxidants that can soak up free radicals. Free radicals are tiny atomic particles that crash around inside cells as a result of the numerous chemical reactions that occur as a cell carries out its functions.

These particles can cause devastating amounts of damage, and are thought to contribute significantly to the deterioration of brain cells in diseases such as Alheimer?s and dementia. So the presence of antioxidants in high levels will slow this process, and in theory slow the progression of the disease.

Coconut Oil: The Jury is Still Out

While reports are both moving and continually positive, it is important to remind ourselves that at this point they are simply personal accounts, and no actual study has been conducted to support them. However, research has started and no doubt definitive answers will begin appearing soon.

In the meantime, there are several health considerations to bear in mind before anyone commences on a home-trial of their own. Firstly, coconut oil is obviously extremely calorific, and can dramatically increase your daily calorie-intake before you even take food into consideration- this should certainly be factored into any healthy diet, to ensure you don?t acquire any undesired weight-gain!

Adding large amounts of fat to your diet can also have an impact on your digestive system, and could result in sickness or diarrhea.

Most importantly perhaps, coconut oil is very high in saturated fats, which contribute to our cholesterol levels, and can have a huge effect on the health of our hearts. So if you suffer from any pre-existing cholesterol or heart problems, this should be avoided.

If You Are Worried, See Your Doctor:

We must stress that if you are suffering from any problems that you suspect may be related to Alzheimer?s, you should first and foremost visit your doctor.

Memory problems are often not the sign of degenerative disease, but of factors entirely unrelated; so don?t be worried, and don?t self-diagnose or self-treat. Get to your doctor, and once you have received a medical opinion, you can decide the right course of action for you.

The World and Culture of Manus Solis

Centuries ago, the world came to a so-called end, humanity found itself nearly reset. Presently, people have managed to regain the reigns of civilization?living under the thumbs of divinely powerful figures who?ve come to be known as ?Gods.?

To put it simply; this thread is meant to become an area in which everyone can input their ideas and layout their thoughts regarding the continent known as Manus Solis, where our roleplay takes place. Given the fact that many civilizations and settlements are scattered over its face, some completely isolated from the outside world, the cultures which persist in this far-off future world are highly diverse and varied from place to place. The world is ruled over by beings and figures regarded as Gods, incredibly powerful beings who are regarded both with awe and fear. Some Gods are benevolent...others are anything but. It, of course, varies with each individual one.

The idea here is to flesh out this concept, and to breathe life into Manus Solis, and to give it a depth similar to that of the real world, and complexity.

Given the notion of scattered cities and settlements, everyone here has a chance to stretch their imaginations and creativity, if anyone wants to, they can feel free to establish their own cities, and form its history, details, culture and the God which resides over it as well...and choose what sort of God this figure is--benevolent or horrible.

And, I want to encourage people to work together, and to collaborate~ Lets have some fun here.

Duke is No. 1 in The Associated Press' college basketball poll after dropping from the top spot for one week.

The Blue Devils, who fell to No. 3 last week, took advantage of losses by Louisville and Indiana to move back to No. 1, their fifth week on top this season. Duke received 39 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday.

Michigan, which jumped from fifth to second, had 11 No. 1 votes. Kansas, which had seven first-place votes, and Syracuse, which knocked Louisville out of No. 1, tied for third. Syracuse received eight No. 1 votes.

Louisville dropped to fifth and was followed by Arizona, Indiana, Florida, Butler and Gonzaga.

Wichita State, Cincinnati, Mississippi and Miami moved into the rankings this week, replacing San Diego State, Illinois, UCLA and Marquette.

A Message from Mike Tryon ? Part 3 ? Satellite TV Tax & New Office ...

The conclusion of an email from State Rep. Mike Tryon:

Mike Tryon?s new office on the south side of Crystal Lake.

SB 402 and HB 5440: Satellite Television Tax

These controversial bills were very similar, and both attempted to impose a 5% tax on satellite television providers, like the Dish Network and DIRECTV.

Proponents of the bill claimed it would level the playing field between cable TV providers, who pay franchise fees to counties and municipalities, and satellite TV providers, who do not.

Opponents, mainly the satellite TV industry and consumers who utilize satellite TV services, claimed the cable tax was fair since cable TV companies utilize land easements to run lines while satellite providers do not require any land or easements for their service.

It was estimated that the tax would generate between $65-$70 million per year in revenue. In House Bill 5440, 100% of the funds generated from the tax were to be allocated for the Education Assistance Fund, and in SB 402 the proceeds would have been split between the Education Assistance Fund and the Capital Projects Fund. Neither bill was called for a vote during the lame duck session.

Inauguration of the 98th General Assembly

Where Mike Tryon?s new office is located off Randall Road on Village Road.

On Wednesday, January 9th I was sworn into office for a fifth term in the House of Representatives. On this day, the new legislative map took effect and my district number changed to 66 from 64. The majority of the constituents I served under the old map will remain in my new district, but I will now also serve the needs of residents from Northern Kane County. The following communities fall within the boundaries of my new legislative district:

This map of the 66th State Rep. District was prepared by Elgin political consultant Drew Veeneman.

• Algonquin
• Carpentersville
• Crystal Lake
• East Dundee
• Elgin
• Gilberts
• Huntley
• Lake in the Hills
• Lakewood
• Sleepy Hollow
• West Dundee

If you are no longer going to be a part of my new district, please know I enjoyed representing you and appreciate your support.

If you will be a new constituent, know that I am looking forward to getting to know you and your community so that I can ably represent your priorities in Springfield and at home. I look forward to these next two years and recognize there is much work to be done in the legislature.

I appreciate your ongoing support and confidence, and will do my best to represent the priorities of the people of District 66.

With the new map, I have decided to move my legislative office more into the center of District 66.

Beginning Tuesday, January 23, my office will be located off of Randall Road near the Crystal Lake/Lake in the Hills border, between Village and Ackman Roads. My new address will be: 1500 Carlemont, Suite D, Crystal Lake, IL 60014. My phone number and email address will remain the same.

As always, if my staff or I can assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to call my office at 815-459-6453.

Sincerely,

Michael W. Tryon
State Representative, District 66
