Battlestar Galactica movie to follow original TV series

2012-01-09T02:07:00.000-08:00

"Today word hit the net that X-Men director Bryan Singer’s attempt to remake the classic Arthurian legend movie Excalibur is dead. That matters because it means that Singer, suddenly has a lot more time on his hands. Time that he might spend on one of the many science fiction projects he’s been promising. In particular… Battlestar Galactica.

Singer has had a movie version of Battlestar Galactica on the back-burner for awhile now. In fact it had been long enough that we were starting to wonder if anything was every going to come of it. But talking to SFX on the eve of announcing that Excalibur is dead, Singer said that when their Excalibur project was cast off, “it allowed me to go straight into developing Battlestar Galactica – which I think will be really exciting.”

So apparently he’s not just making that his next project, it sounds like he’s actually already working on it. Singer doesn’t offer any further details, but we do know is that his movie will have nothing to do with either the 70s television series or the more recent Ronald Moore helmed remake series. That’s actually a shame since Moore’s version was about as perfect telling of this story as anyone could possibly fathom. Anything Singer does will only pale in comparison to that television show and, come on, it sort of seems like that show should just find a way to transition into feature films instead of starting all over again. Unfortunately, thanks to series creator Glen Larson they can’t go that route.

So Bryan Singer is starting over with a brand new telling of the Battlestar Galactica mythos. Expect to see it in theaters within the next couple of years. Are you interested? Sound off in our reader poll below."

"Last month, it was reported the director Bryan Singer was set to prioritise the big screen take on the television series Battlestar Galactica. This news didn’t go down particularly well, although we argued at the time that it was way too early to write the project off. And it still is.

However, over at Latino Review, the folks there appear to have some inside information on just where the Battlestar Galactica film will be going. And it appears to be that the original plan is still firmly in place: to set aside the Ronald D Moore-headed reimagining of late, and to go back to the original television show.

The site reports that lots of previzualistion and design work has been done on the big screen Battlestar Galactica outing, and that we’re likely to be getting a film version of the 1970 version of the TV show. Back when Starbuck was a man, and not Katee Sackoff.

Appreciating that it’d be a momentous job to follow what the recent take on Battlestar Galactica managed to do, it’s nonetheless bold to ignore it altogether, if indeed that appears to be the case (Singer has been quiet about all of this, understandable considering he's hard at work on his next film, Jack The Giant Killer). Singer’s film may simply use the 70s TV show as a base, and then go off and do its own thing, as JJ Abrams’ Star Trek film did to a point.

We still suspect that this one won’t happen, though.

There’s more on it over at Latino Review."

The Future of Medicine

2011-12-17T15:36:00.000-08:00

According to the statistical abstract of the U.S. Census bureau for 2009, about 110,000 patients were waiting to receive one or more organs including: hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys, and pancreas. These organs were vital to each patient’s survival, and yet each person waited in a seemingly endless queue. “Every day nearly twenty Americans die waiting for donor organs” (Nova). Less than a quarter of the needed organs were transplanted into the lucky patients. The survival rate for patients receiving these organs was only 86 percent. The remainder lost the battle because their bodies refused to accept the new organs—they were rejected.
Whenever a foreign substance, like a transplanted organ, enters the body, the immune system immediately reacts by attacking these substances until they are destroyed. The common treatment that helps inhibit this immune response is anti-rejection medication. This medication works by weakening the immune system of the body and thereby eases the body’s adjustment to the new organ. But by suppressing the immune system, a patient may encounter further complications. The immune system is a natural function of the human body and helps in ridding the body of any infection or disease. Weakening this system inhibits the body’s natural defense against various blights. Therefore, a patient taking medication to help accept an organ inadvertently places himself at a higher risk of a serious infection. These infections can sometimes be fatal. All in all, receiving an organ transplant is a very complicated and unpleasant experience—even if one is lucky enough to reach the top of the list.
On the other hand, cars are much easier to fix. Sometimes a part, like a carburetor, may break or stop working. In any case, one must simply take the car to the mechanic, remove the dysfunctional part and replace it with a brand-new one. This new part would be virtually identical to the original and would function just as well—if not better. Wouldn’t it be much easier if we humans could be more like our cars? Yes, of course! But how can such a thing be possible? Although it may sound like science-fiction, recent breakthroughs and new technologies may soon provide humanity with brand-new, custom-made body parts to replace our old, rusty ones.

In 2006, a drunk driver collided with Pierpaolo Petruzziello’s car. The terrible accident resulted in the loss of Pier’s left hand and forearm. He was faced with two difficult choices: should he live with a missing limb or should he be fitted with a prosthetic? Prosthetics, as most people know them, are simply plastic replicas of body parts that are attached in the same spot as the missing limbs. Usually, these artificial limbs have little to no functionality—especially when one compares them to the living ones.
With the help of his father, Pier discovered one type of research that may provide a better alternative. In Rome, they found that the Biomedics University and Hospital was developing a bionic hand. Soon after, Pier was enrolled in the Life Hand Project. First, the scientists sent various stimuli into his arm including needles and electrical signals. Tiny little electrodes were surgically implanted into his arm to produce these signals. The purpose of these stimuli was to teach Pier to recognize them as they would pertain to his missing hand and fingers. He said, “Like a lot of amputees, I still perceive my lost hand… I closed my eyes and tried to think that my hand [still] did exist.” Then, the scientists connected a bio-mechanical prosthetic to the electrodes in Pier’s arm. Through intense concentration and much time in silence, Pier was able to move the fingers of the mechanical hand (Discovery Networks).
Although experiments similar to this one were done in the past, the researchers in the life hand project said that this was the first time a patient was able to make such complicated movements in a biomechanical hand using only his mind. This project was funded by the European Union and took five years to complete. The next goal is to connect a patient’s nervous system and prosthetic limb for years rather than just months. Pier was guaranteed to receive one of these new prosthetics. His participation in this research project helped move the science forward, and he was happy to have participated (Discovery Networks). Although Pier lost a hand, there are many people who do not need mechanical parts, but real, living body parts.
Scientists are saying that it is possible to harness nature’s ability to form organs, and in turn, build our own. Scientists have been growing cells, the basic building-blocks of life, in laboratories for many years now. But how do you take cells and turn them into organs? These cells are also the basic building-blocks for any organ, similar to how bricks are used to construct buildings. Both organs and buildings are a collection of parts that must come together and work together. Alone, bricks and cinder blocks are not enough to construct a building. A building needs an internal framework or scaffolding to give it structure. Similarly, to build an organ, cells also need to have a framework to guide their growth (Nova).
Creating a structure for cells to grow on is the first step to creating an organ, but it is challenging because living tissue cannot grow on just any material. This is because many of the materials can be toxic to a cell, or the cell simply cannot grow in the environments provided by some materials. Robert Langer, a chemical engineer says, “Cells are picky and some are more picky than others.” He and Jay Focanti, a transplant surgeon, developed a material called bio-rubber and it was perfect for the cells (Nova). Next, this bio-rubber is built and shaped to match the structure of a body part like an ear. The bio-rubber ear is then seeded with living cells. The cells living on this structure are then placed into an incubator. An incubator is a device that facilitates cell growth and multiplies the cells. These cells spread across the surface of the bio-ear until it’s thoroughly covered (Nova).
Furthermore, in various experiments scientists implanted these “grown” ears onto the backs of mice. Robert Langer stated, “This is an important step in the science,” and the implants on these mice are “[there] for a greater purpose” (Nova). Using the mouse as a medium, the scientists grew perfectly shaped cartilage that looked identical to a human ear. In addition, these parts are completely connected in an intricate network of blood vessels. Thus the lab-grown parts are not only look-alikes, but they have the same functionality as their real, human counterparts. Jay Focanti said, “We’re going to start with the patient’s own cells, it’ll make his own tissue, and therefore the body will accept it” (Nova). There is no chance for this body part to trigger rejection by the immune system because it recognizes its own cells.
Just like in mice, the same steps were followed to implant body parts on humans. Parts like these ears have already been implanted on injured soldiers that served in the Middle East. “The defense department has been funding research into a broad range of tissue engineering for wounded soldiers from: bone, muscle, and skin to vital organs including the heart. Engineering tissues could save a lot of lives” (Tissue Engineering). Soldiers are not the only ones who have received these transplants. Other patients have received blood vessels, skin, muscles and even bladders built the same way (Nova).
Vital organs like kidneys, livers, and hearts are the more complex organs needed to save lives. Scientists creating these organs are mainly challenged by the intricate “plumbing” involved in the structures of these organs. The plumbing in an organ is similar to the plumbing in a building. In a building, pipes carry water and other resources to all corners of the building. In an organ, blood vessels carry oxygen to all the tiny corners in a cell to keep it alive. Major organs like the heart require a “blood vessel per cell” (Nova). For example, the blood vessels in the heart are like a tree and “the challenge is not to build that big limb, but to build those little tiny branches that come off” (Nova).
These scientists had to discover another new technology to overcome the difficulty in building these more complex organs. Harald Ott used a chemical to wash away the cells of a rat heart in an attempt to isolate the structure. He had to find the perfect chemical that would clear away the living cells, but leave the protein structure undamaged at the same time. First, Ott tried using enzymes, but these dissolved everything on the heart. Other chemicals disfigured the hearts and made them swell. Finally, by means of trial and error, Ott discovered a soap commonly found in shampoo that was perfectly ideal for this procedure. Using this soap, a rat heart was washed of all cells and all that remained was the scaffold or structure. This scaffold was checked for damage and Ott found that it was intact. Afterwards, the heart was seeded with cells from a rat. But simply putting cells on the structure of a complex organ like a heart is not enough to make it viable. The heart was placed in an artificial environment and given an electrical signal. Soon, this heart became the first lab grown heart to beat independently of a body. Later on, a lung was manufactured the same way. This lung was successfully transplanted into a rat (Nova).
These same techniques have already been used on humans in need of various body parts. Organs, like bronchial tubes, are harvested from human cadavers. These parts are then similarly washed clean of all cells. Furthermore, the organs are seeded with cells taken from the to-be recipient’s body. Then the new organ is transplanted into the same person. For many years following the transplant, the patients’ bodies do not show any signs of rejection (Nova).
Harvesting organs from human cadavers can create a moral dilemma for some people. After all, those cadavers used to be people too. Similar techniques have been used with pig kidneys. These organs have the same size, complexity, and shape as their human counterparts—all the piping and blood vessels intact. Animal organs like these have been successfully transplanted into humans (Nova). Still, some animal rights activists may be opposed to these procedures. If that is the case, there is an alternative technology that circumvents the harvesting of organs from any kind of creature—whether they are human or animal. Where else would one acquire the structures needed to build new organs? As crazy as it may sound, some scientists have developed a technique to literally print organs from a printer. Researchers at Wake Forest University took a regular printer and gave it the capability to print organs. They took an empty ink cartridge and filled it with living cells. Then they placed the cartridge into a modified printer. Using this machine, the researchers printed out a two chambered mouse heart. This heart wasn’t just a clump of cells, but it actually beat (Nova).
These new breakthroughs in organ-transplant techniques and new technologies may someday lead to a new era of medicine. Imagine a world in which all the parts of your body are replaceable. A person may get into a car accident and lose a limb or damage a vital organ. But that person and his family will feel secure because they will know that those parts will be replaced with brand-new ones as soon as the ambulance arrives at the hospital. How distant is this sci-fi-like reality? Most researchers believe that we are only decades away. Some are more enthusiastic and say that organs and body parts will be available in unlimited supply within only a few years. There will be a day when one can stroll into a manufacturing facility, and discover that lining the shelves are: jars of kidneys, jars of livers, jars of lungs and whatever else is needed (Nova).

Local Fire Hits Really Close to Home

2011-12-14T18:28:00.000-08:00

On Monday November 7, as my mother and I were driving past the Greenback/Sunrise intersection, we were completely surprised by what we found. We had made the commute several times, working to move belongings into our new Citrus Heights home. This time around, the intersection was almost completely blocked. We could see a huge plume of smoke and dancing flames in the fading daylight. A local store, Tuesday Morning, was on fire. Police were redirecting traffic to give ample room for the firefighters to battle the flames. According to the article, “more than 80 firefighters and 15 fire trucks” were present to take matters into hand. Luckily, no one was hurt, and everyone got out unharmed.

Personally, this fire was greatly disturbing to me. Usually, we see most incidents and tragedies on the news on TV—and that’s where they stay. I never considered that anything this crazy could happen this close to the new home we were moving into. We live barely a few miles north of that same intersection. It scares me to realize that I am not invincible to any possible dangers that we hear about. I never watch the news because I feel that it brings only negative thoughts of danger all around us—it makes me paranoid. Nevertheless, I became ever more watchful and careful about my surroundings.

Unfortunately, despite my mindfulness, I was again surprised by what occurred on our second night living in our new home. My room faces the street we live—it is fairly quiet at night here, and my window is open. Near 1 a.m. in the morning, I am forced out of bed by a creepy squeaking sound somewhere outside. I look out my window into the darkness to try to catch a glimpse of the source of this horrendous noise. I am not wearing my contacts so I reach for my handy binoculars. Looking through the only working eyepiece, I notice some darkly dressed figure. It is a bum pushing a shopping cart full of who-cares-what, and one of its wheels desperately needs oiling. The dark shadow slowly creeps and squeaks up the dimly lit street curving out and away from the house. What a strange omen, I thought as I crawled back into bed.

Some hours later that night, our property was separately “visited” by two other strangers. I had to call the C.H. Sherriff’s Dispatch three times that night. My mom had left her car doors open—one of the strangers had helped themselves. Maybe that fire that marked our relocation was a warning. Maybe more trouble simply follows trouble. A strange omen it was indeed.

Cause of Tuesday Morning store fire still to be determined

A chain link fence surrounds the Tuesday Morning store in Citrus Heights this morning as investigators prepare to enter the gutted building where a fire raged on Monday afternoon.
A cause for the fire has not been determined, Assistant Chief Scott Cockrum of the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District said today.
Several hours after fire erupted – sending up a huge plume of black smoke that could be seen across the region – firefighters poured thousands of gallons of water on the store's smoldering remains.
At one point late Monday afternoon, the dramatic orange flames and billowing smoke attracted dozens of spectators to the busy Citrus Heights shopping area north of Sunrise Mall during the evening commute.
The fire – near Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane – started about 4:15 p.m., when two clerks and six customers were in the outlet store, fire officials said. All managed to get out and were unharmed, they said.
More than 80 firefighters and 15 firetrucks and engines were called in to battle the three-alarm blaze, Cockrum said.
Firefighters poured 6,000 gallons of water per minute onto the flames from hoses on ladders extended above the rooftop to finally douse it.
The Tuesday Morning store and the neighboring Hoss Lee Academy, a salon and cosmetology school, were fully engulfed, Cockrum said. A good fire wall, he said, prevented the fire from spreading to the adjoining Rite Aid store.
Earlier, firefighters were on the roof of the Tuesday Morning store as it began to collapse but quickly climbed down. No injuries were reported.
As the flames subsided, water flowed across the parking lot. Layers of the collapsed roof and contents of the store continued to smolder, sending up a cloud of smoke and steam.
Although some firefighters and engines were released shortly before 7 p.m., Cockrum said other firefighters and investigators would continue working into the night.
The three businesses are in a building on the northwest side of the Sunrise Festival shopping center. Several buildings in the portion of the center that fronts on Greenback Lane are vacant and undergoing remodeling, including one scheduled to house Sprouts Farmers Market.
"This is a tremendous economic loss," Cockrum said, of the fire damage. In addition to the property loss, he noted, it affects employees of the two businesses, as well as students at the Hoss Lee Academy, several of whom arrived for classes Monday night only to be turned away by police and firefighters.

Infinite Memoirs

2011-11-11T11:11:00.000-08:00

i find my self drawn
to the object of my current affection
better than the sunrise at dawn
in her eyes a reflection
of sparkling city lights
at the point of inspiration
passions did ignite
in the heat of exchanged friction
beneath late night stars
yet another edition
to my list of infinite memoirs
there remains an option
a plan to run away?
maybe the eleven eleven notion
is a sign that you should choose to stay

Restless Heart

2011-11-01T02:20:00.000-07:00

This heart is restless
it cannot sleep
covered in frost
wounds are deep
heartbeat almost lost
fractured down the side
cuts and bruises everywhere
this damage cannot hide
surviving on thin air

two minutes of your touch
insufficient healing
"dont like me too much"
dont leave with this feeling

rip it open, heat it hot
but burn me not
take it now take it fast
this pulse wont last

crack it open
shock it with electricity
let the hope in
you have the ability
bring me back to life
cut out the pain with a knife
connecting souls
sow me up neatly
don't leave empty holes
take me completely
avoid frost bite

some amaze me
love is just the same

hearts are heated
your face is lit
where to find fuel
your eyes contain the hue
green emerald embers of intensity
that flame my soul to deny gravity

the sound of moonlight
calm mind
a rush of sparks
along the spine
thin, one walks the line
a sense of elevation
white snow-topped peaks
cold, but without the bite
there is no flight
the wings, there are none
autumn is over, its spring
a color of pale white
cold hands,
cold reflections,
yet,
color in your cheeks
warmth somewhere inside
where is it?
there is no pain
a mystery.
beams of silver
penetrate beneath
layers of tension
a black and white image
this music,
it vibrates,
the leaves rustle
as well
a whispering wind,
in shades of gray...

Here's one of my poems from my collection i will be uploading more in the future. Thank you for reading XD

Look at yellow life
Brings you yellow lemons,
Love from nine to five,

Mellow in its strife,
Vision up
crashing sky,
Clouds on your head fall

Acid in your tears
A twist
And frown
Always laughing loud,

Burns as it goes down
Your throat be better clear,
choking on your fear
