text: content LE Magazine October 1997 CoQ10: Dramatic Results Without Much Fanfare The Goal: To Find Practical Methods of Retarding The Aging Process by Jeffrey Laign Why isn't coenzyme Q10 one of the most remarkable new therapies for a wide variety of illnesses prescribed more often by doctors? It may be because it's not a patented drug . . . but that doesn't make it any less effective. Take a look at the diseases scientists have treated with coenzyme Q10 and you'll understand why researcher Peter Lansjoen calls the organic substance "the most fundamental change in medicine since the discovery of the microbe." Studies from around the world have contributed to the mounting evidence that CoQ10 may be effective in treating or preventing cancer, heart disease, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, periodontal disease and AIDS. CoQ10 can boost your energy levels and make you look and feel younger. In fact, it may even help you to live longer. "It's not a panacea, but it is a substance that can do an awful lot of good for an awful lot of people," says researcher William V. Judy, a veteran CoQ10 researcher at the Southeastern Biomedical Institute in Bradenton, Fla. If that's so, then why aren't more doctors prescribing it? "The problem with CoQ10," Judy says, "is that it's a natural substance and, as such, not subject to patent laws. Therefore, the big drug companies haven't been interested in studying it." In other words, says pioneer researcher Karl Folkers, "The reason CoQ10 is not a household nutrient in the West has more to do with the lack of protected marketing positions than with its safety or how well it works." What is CoQ10? Your body is composed of more than a trillion cells, each of which contains mitochondria. Think of mitochondria as energy-generating factories. Here nutrients obtained from the foods you eat are burned in the presence of the oxygen you breathe. In order to make energy, mitochondria must have CoQ10 molecules, which assist several enzymes in stimulating the process. Nobody had ever heard of CoQ10 until 1956 when scientists at the University of Wisconsin isolated a crystalline compound from beef heart mitochondria. They sent the sample to Folkers, who then was head of a biochemical research team at Merck Sharp and Dohme Research Laboratories in Rahway, N.J. It was Folkers who determined the chemical structure of the substance, which is found in high concentrations in the heart, liver, kidney and pancreas. Scientists subsequently noted that CoQ10 levels were well below normal in patients who suffered from a wide variety of ailments, including heart disease, cancer and muscular dystrophy. One study of more than 1,000 heart attack patients, for example, found that their blood and tissue levels of the substance were markedly lower than those of healthy people. Nonetheless, it was years before anybody conducted a major study of CoQ10, because no one could obtain enough of it. Although CoQ10 is present in nearly all foods, as well as human and animal tissues, it was difficult and costly the extract. Then in 1974 researchers at the Japanese company Nisshin found a way to produce CoQ10 from an ingredient found in tobacco. That discovery was followed in 1977 by development of fermentation methods to make the substance. The researchers called the coenzyme Ubidecarenone and began marketing it as a cardiovascular medicine. By 1982, Ubidecarenone had become one of the top-five-selling drugs in Japan, consumed daily by more than 6 million Japanese. The following year, the Life Extension Foundation introduced CoQ10 to the U.S. public, promoting it as essential for health and longevity. "Although I have no statistics to prove it, I'd say that today sales of CoQ10 are definitely on the increase," says Judy, a physiologist who has conducted three clinical trials of the substance with cardiac patients. And it's no wonder that more people are taking CoQ10, considering the staggering range of ailments it may be effective in treating. Cancer Folkers and other researchers initially began studying CoQ10 as a treatment for heart disease. Then, after they treated cardiac patients who also had cancer, they discovered that the substance might have significant use in combating tumors. One patient, for example, took CoQ10 and went for nine years without suffering any symptoms of heart disease or cancer. Other patients remained symptom-free of both diseases for 10 and 15 years. Another case involved a 44-year-old woman whose breast cancer has spread to her liver. Doctors began giving the woman a daily dose of CoQ10. Several months later her liver tumors disappeared, and the cancer had not spread anywhere else in her body. But the most compelling cancer study to date was conducted at a private clinic in Denmark and reported in 1994. Thirty-two patients with breast cancer were given a mixture of antioxidants (including vitamins C, E, beta-carotene and selenium), fatty acids and 90 mg of CoQ10. After a month, six of the women showed signs of partial remission. Doctors increased the dosage to 390 mg. A month later, one woman's tumor had disappeared. "I had never seen a spontaneous complete regression of a breast tumor with any conventional anti-tumor therapy," says Knud Lockwood, one of the principle researchers in the study. But CoQ10 isn't limited to treating heart disease and cancer. As researchers are discovering, it may hold the key to treating a variety of other diseases as well. Muscular Dystrophy, Periodontal Disease Double-blind studies have demonstrated CoQ10's effectiveness in treating muscular dystrophy. In one study, 12 patients ages 7-69 were treated for three months with 100 mg of CoQ10 and a placebo. The patients who took CoQ10 improved dramatically, while the placebo group continued to suffer progressive symptoms. As a result, researchers recommended, "Patients suffering from muscular dystrophies and the like should be treated with CoQ10 indefinitely." Folkers also observed firsthand how CoQ10 can help people with muscular dystrophy. "An adult with late onset form of muscular dystrophy had been advised by his neurologist that he should mentally prepare himself for a wheelchair within two years," Folkers recalls. "He began a daily regimen of CoQ10. Six years later, he was out of a wheelchair and could swim, bowl and play golf." Doctors have observed that people with periodontal disease have significantly low levels of CoQ10 in the tissues of their gums. Researchers at Osaka University Faculty of Dentistry in Japan gave eight patients with moderately or severely inflamed gums 60 mg of CoQ10 a day for eight weeks. The patients received no other therapy. The results, according to clinicians: "CoQ10 was effective in suppressing gingival inflammation." In another study, 10 men were asked to apply a CoQ10 solution to their gums each day. They received no other medications. In the first three weeks of treatment, the men reported a significant reduction of symptoms. "These results suggest that topical application of CoQ10 improves adult periodontitis, not only as a sole treatment but also in combination with traditional nonsurgical periodontal therapy," researchers reported. AIDS And Post-Operative Therapy People with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome also have far less CoQ10 in their blood than healthy people. To determine the effect of CoQ10 in fighting the disease, Folkers and associates gave seven AIDS patients 200 mg of CoQ10 a day for several months. All seven started feeling better soon after beginning treatment. "The overall results," Folkers says, "were very encouraging and, at times, even striking." In another study, two patients with AIDS Related Complex took CoQ10 and survived from four to five years without exhibiting symptoms of the disease. "This constitutes a rationale for new double-blind clinical trials on treatment patients with AIDS," researchers said. Post-surgical complications are a leading cause of death among hospital patients. That's because our bodies are vulnerable to any number of infections after suffering the immune system battering caused by a surgical procedure. But several studies indicate that people who take CoQ10 before they undergo operations recover much more quickly. In an Italian study, for example, 40 patients about to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery were divided into two groups. Patients in the first group received 150 mg of CoQ10 a day for seven days before the operation; those in group two did not. Patients in group one recovered much faster than those in the second group, and suffered fewer complications. "Our findings," the researchers said, "suggest that pre-treatment with coenzyme Q10 may play a protective role during routine bypass grafting by attenuating the degrees of per oxidative damage." CoQ10 has three major functions: to help several mitochondrial enzymes convert dietary nutrients into energy; to quench free radicals generated in the energy-making process, and to help protect integrity of the mitochondrial membrane. Because it is a powerful antioxidant - as powerful as vitamin E - CoQ10 may help you feel and look younger, and live longer. Several studies have found that CoQ10 prevents oxidative stress in skin, protects sperm from oxidation and keeps them mobile, and slows the aging process. Aging rats given CoQ10, for instance, developed the heart level function of young, healthy rats, according to Australian researcher Anthony Linnane. In another study, weekly injections of CoQ10 extended the life span of mice by 56 percent. However, another study showed no extension of maximum lifespan with high doses of CoQ10. Until recently, scientists assumed that as we get older, out bodies make smaller amounts of CoQ10, which leaves us feeling weak and tired. But researcher Judy thinks something else may be going on. "It may not be that our CoQ10 production goes down with age," he says. "It may be that we're using up all our CoQ10 to fight free radicals as an antioxidant, so there's not enough available to give us energy." How Much Should You Take? Don't try to obtain adequate levels of CoQ10 from the foods you eat. "It takes about six to seven vitamins and trace minerals to make CoQ10 in the body." Judy says. "You'd have to eat about 16 pounds of beefsteak or two gallons of spinach a day to get your daily requirement." Researchers say you should take at least 30 mg of CoQ10 a day if you are healthy. If you have a life-threatening illness, consider taking 100 mg a day. Some cancer patients have taken as much as 400 mg a day. Also Judy says, "Because CoQ10 is a fat-soluble nutrient, it assimilates better in your body in the presence of fat." So unless your supplement comes in an oil-based gel cap, take CoQ10 with peanut butter or some other fat. And if you are using the supplement to fight disease, don't stop taking it. Studies show that patients continued to improve as long as they took CoQ10. When they stopped, their illnesses returned in full force. One of Folkers patients, a 52-year-old woman, began taking CoQ10 after she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Thirty months later, her cancer appeared to be in remission. But six days after she stopped taking the nutrient, she developed pulmonary edema and died. What's Ahead? Researchers say the evidence is overwhelming that CoQ10 is a vital nutrient necessary for health and well-being. English researcher Peter Mitchell, in fact, won a Nobel Prize in 1978 for his work in identifying CoQ10's attributes. Nonetheless, most people are unaware of the potentialhealth benefits of taking CoQ10, says Saul Kent, Life Extension Foundation president. "We at the Foundation consider it a monumental tragedy that hundreds of millions of people aren't taking daily doses of CoQ10," Kent says. "We believe strongly that the regular widespread use of this remarkable nutrient would save vast numbers of lives and would significantly improve the quality of life for the vast majority of people on the planet." But funding for clinical studies - from drug companies, the federal government and other sources - has been slow to materialize. "Probably what will happen," Judy speculates, "is that 20 years from now somebody will rediscover this nutrient and patent a chemical analog. Then the pharmaceutical companies will become interested." In the meantime, Judy says, researchers must wait. "And that's a real shame. There is so much more that we need to know about this substance."

KENNEWICK, Wash. - The Tri-City Americans returned home yesterday after a six road games in eight days. The Ams went 5-0-1-0 over that span.
Their only loss coming in overtime to Saskatoon. The Ams have three more days off before traveling to Seattle on Friday, completing an eight-game road trip. The Americans talk about recovering after an extended road trip.
"It's just nice to get back home and get settled down a bit. You know the road trips do take a toll on our bodies and its kinda nice to come home and get back into a routine," said Justin Feser, Americans Forward.
"You know we take a break clearly after that long trip and then we just have to find the energy for Friday night in Seattle, that's really our main focus. As we just have to recover and then, you know we are feeling good about our game we just have to make sure that we have the energy in the tank to go and do it all over again starting Friday," said Jim Hiller, Americans Head Coach.

RECESS: To be or to shoot? Walking away from a photo opportunity because 'its the right thing to do'
'You can tell as much about a photographer by (the photos) they don't take as what they do,' says John Donegan, contributor to the new photographer's book without photos which has been featured in the New York Times, New Yorker, TIME, Wall Street Journal, Guardian, Wired, Photograph, and Artnet.
In it, they speak up about all those times they put down the camera or walked away. Whether for fear of being an accomplice to or inciting crime or not wanting to add more pain to a bereaved woman to carrying the body of her dead child, wrapped in a carpet, through the dehumanising experience of Israel's main crossing point into Gaza, Michael Bowers and John Donegan, two of Sydney's most accomplished press photographers have been there and have these stories to tell…

This is Maddie Lukomski's 14th play. She's 13-year-old and talks about character depth and humor.
"Just acting someone out entirely different than I am. I just get so much joy in that," said Lukomski.
Maddie is just one of a hundred student actors that the Dakota Academy of Performing Arts produces each year.
"Such a rewarding process to be a part of it because we find the script for these kids and then hundreds show up for auditions. We are burdened with the task of who's going to be in the particular show," said co-director Bob Wendland.
From lighting and sound to choreography, these actors literally leave their hearts on the stage.
"All the people involved with it, the directors Molly and Bob, and all the kids in the cast they really make it an awesome show," said student actor Michael Sulaiman.
The Tale of Snow White begins this Thursday night. Two of the five shows are already sold out.
"You need to come and see the show because of the children involved," said co-director Molly Wilson. "They are phenomenal. They make our job easy. We love coming here. We get hugs everyday, and the kids are so talented."

1 pound
sweet Italian pork sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium
red pepper, cut into 1-inch strips
fennel bulbs, cut into wedges
6 medium
Italian plum tomatoes, cut into wedges
2 teaspoons
dried oregano leaves, crushed
1 1/2 cups
Swanson® Chicken Broth or Swanson® Natural Goodness® Chicken Broth
4 cups
hot cooked creamy polenta*
Made as directed except: used a can of diced tomatoes, store bought polenta and I used Venison Italian sausage [was looking for a way to use up a 'gift']. WOW!! I can't count the times my husband complimented this dush while eating it! Leftovers even better! Not spicy, but full of rich flavor.
This was my first time with polenta and fennel. I initially messed up the polenta to water/broth ratio, but it was an easy fix and came out well. The dish was great as a whole, but I would probably use something in place of the fennel next time - just a personal preference. The roasted peppers and tomatoes with the sausage were amazing!
18 Ratings
I thought this recipe was great! Since I was really looking for a way to cook up Italian Sausage I had on hand, I altered the veggies a little - I used a regular tomato, cut, onions, carrots and radish instead of fennel and red peppers but even with the alterations, the juices and the way it all came together was great. I'd love to try it some time with the fennel and peppers, we love finding ways to cook up veggies so our four-year-old will think they're "cool" and this recipe did it! I only went with four stars because I don't quite feel right giving five stars when I didn't cook it the way the recipe is.
Yum! A new way to prepare one of our family's favorites, Italian sausage. I followed the recipe exactly as stated.
This was a pretty easy meal, and it tasted great too. This is only the second time my wife or I had fennel (the first we had it caramelized with onion, and the flavor practically disappeared), and we're big fans now. I think two bulbs would be overkill (maybe the fennel in Italy is smaller than that in the US), so we only used one bulb of fennel. As much as we try, we're just not big fans of polenta. Next time I'll probably add a bit of white wine and cornstarch to thicken the juices and serve with penne, although a risotto would work pretty well with this too.
What a great recipe! I made the basic cheese polenta the night before (from a recipe on here) and then put all of the ingredients in my slow cooker before I left for church. It was so simple! I used canned tomatoes instead of fresh, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I never had polenta before but I'm a huge fan now!
We really liked this dish-it was quick and easy, but had lots of flavor. I served mine over polenta-my husband does not like polenta so he ate it over rice and he enjoyed it.
We love it. I use red and green peppers and onions plus use a can of diced tomatoes just because it's easier but the compliments on this dish are a complete rave. Fixing it for a 2nd time tonight. Don't use the polenta because the picky eaters in my family find that a bit much but with or without this deserves five stars. Thank you/

Will a car crash wreck your credit?
After an accident, it can be confusing to figure out who pays what bills. These 9 tips can help guide you.
An auto accident may do more than just wreck your vehicle. It may cause long-term damage to your credit reports and scores as well. We've heard from many accident victims over the years who wound up with medical bills in collections while they waited for insurance companies to sort out who would pay what. One of our readers, whom I'll call "Jennifer," recently wrote:
"I was hit by an uninsured DUI (driver). One of my medical treatments involved an ambulatory surgery center, to whom I provided my health insurance and auto insurance information. Recently I received a letter indicating they would turn my account over to collections because it was not paid by the auto insurance."
Jennifer went on to explain that she has health insurance and provided that information to the surgery center, but because they failed to bill the health insurance company in a timely manner, the claim has been rejected. Now she feels stuck.
"Coordination of benefits" is often the culprit here. "When a person has more than one insurance policy, coordination of benefits is the process of determining which policy has the primary responsibility of processing and paying a claim and to what extent the other policies will contribute to that claim," explains Katie Vahle, a co-founder of Copatient, a website that offers a free review of medical bills. The goal is to "prevent double dipping by both consumers and providers (i.e., sending the same claim to multiple policies to receive additional payment)."
That process can be confusing for providers and patients.
Various types of insurance coverage may come into play in the case of an auto accident, including personal injury protection, which is mandatory coverage on auto insurance in some states and optional in others. This may also include medical payments coverage, which is optional on auto insurance policies, private health insurance, supplemental accident coverage and Medicare. But it's not always clear who has primary responsibility to pay in the case of an accident, though some states have no-fault laws that "circumvent the often lengthy process of determining liability," says Vahle.
Even when it is clear who should pay, there can be problems. Insurance companies may deny claims or drag out payment, or bills may be incorrectly coded or sent to the wrong insurer. Any of those scenarios can create further complications that could leave you on the hook for all or part of the bill.
Your goal throughout this process is to minimize your expenses by getting insurance companies to pay covered claims. But ultimately, you are responsible to your medical providers for the medical bills you incur, so you should also be mindful of keeping your medical bills out of collections. Once they get to that point, it may be too late to protect your credit from damage. The collection agency will likely report the item as a collection account on your credit reports, and your credit scores can drop dramatically as a result.
Following are some steps you can take to help protect yourself and minimize the chance that your credit will take a hit.
Provide complete insurance information to all your providers. Don't assume one insurance company will or won't pay. If you have both auto and health insurance, for example, provide complete information about both policies to all the health care providers involved. "When you are in an auto accident, it's critical to immediately report it to your insurance company and get a claim number and make sure that you give the auto insurance claim number and your health insurance information to all of the medical providers that treat you," recommends Bill Robertson, an attorney with the law firm Kirk-Pinkerton Sarasota, Fla.
Don't wait. "It is important to report an accident to your insurance company promptly. An insurance company may try to use a delay by the accident victim in reporting the accident as grounds for denial of the claim," warns Eric Deming, an attorney with the law firm Morgan & Morgan in Orlando, Fla.
While most health care providers understand that processing auto accident insurance claims is complicated, don't assume they are going to wait forever for payment. "Confirm that your provider is willing to do this coordination on your behalf!" says Copatient's Vahle.
More from Credit.com:
There is one section of insurance most people reject......it is called personal injury coverage (or some other wording) this coverage PAYS YOUR BILLS while the insurance companies battle it out.
Look at your insurance and ASK. If your agent can't or won't tell you the info, you need to find another agent.

How attached are you to your deeply held beliefs? If solutions to global problems challenge your worldview, how do you react?
Allan Savory's recent TED Talk introduced an unlikely and politically incorrect solution to reversing global desertification and climate change with the use of livestock as a tool, and different decision making.
Well-meaning laws, bureaucracies, and activists at the mercy of public opinion have stifled this work from moving forward on a large scale in the US. Belief systems and the fear of being wrong often prohibits change.
How do you respond to ideas that challenge your belief system? How do we stop our paradigms and prejudices from unfairly shaping decision making, and allowing us to take real risks for lasting change? What's your reaction to cows helping save the world? What idea have you believed and been completely wrong?

Mar 7 2013: That's one of the most powerful, persuasive talks I've seen.
I've always thought that keeping cattle on an industrial scale was bad for the environment for many reasons - but after listening to Allan Savory, I'm seriously reconsidering that view. It just seems so plausible.
I'd like to think that my own belief systems are flexible enough to change in the face of persuasive information, but sometimes it gets stuck when pride and possession dominate reasoned thought. I have a very sensitive bullshit filter that snaps into action at the slightest hint of ulterior motive, or any belief system that effectively shuts down logic and creativity.
That filter didn't even budge during Mr Savory's talk.
Erica LannonMar 7 2013: i would definitely say be careful about using the term "industrial" with regard to what he is talking about here. the industrial model puts large numbers of animals on land and DOESN'T rotate them at all, and in fact this is quite bad practice and creates all manner of problems for the environment and human/animal health. the ROTATIONAL GRAZING is a key concept here. CHEERS!
Mar 9 2013: Erica,
In so far as I know, Allan Savory has never recommended "rotational grazing" or any other grazing system. Using Holistic Planned Grazing, The presence and movement of animals is planned and adjusted considering a variety of factors including geographical place, needs of wildlife, needs of domestic herbivores, growth rate of plants, recovery of plants and their roots, soil conditions, culture, the weather, family values, unexpected events, etc.
"Plan" to those who manage holistically is a 24 letter word:PlanMonitorControlReplan. Natural wholes change continually. We "manage" in an environment of ever-changing relationships among processes. We respond to changes we observe in reality as we move toward the desired results.
Holistic Management is grounded in 4 key insights:
"1. A holistic perspective is essential in management. If we base management decisions on any other perspective we are likely to experience results different from those intended because only the whole is reality.
2. Environments may be classified on a continuum from nonbrittle to very brittle according to how well humidity is distributed throughout the year and how quickly dead vegetation breaks down. At either end of the scale, environments respond differently to the same influences. Resting restores land in nonbrittle environments, for instance, but damages it in very brittle environments.
3. In brittle environments. relatively high numbers of large , herding animals, concentrated and moving as they naturally do in the presence of pack-hunting predators, are vital to maintaining the health of the lands we thought they destroyed.
4. In any environment, overgrazing and damage from trampling bear little relationship to the number of animals, but rather to the amount of time plants and soils are exposed to the animals."
"Holistic Management, A New Framework for Decision Making", Savory and Butterfield, 1999, page 16.
Allan has devised a different way of making decisions.
Mar 9 2013: My practice of holistic management on my ranch for 17 years, has shown me the critical importance of your comment about planning. This is the area that many people trained in holistic management have the biggest problem,including myself, because we don't understand the complexity of the environments we are dealing with. I include social and economic environments in the ecosystem. Watching for deviations and responding with agility is the key!
Mar 13 2013: Allan - that's what happened to me 20 years ago when I first learned of Savory's work. The filter not only didn't budge, but something resonated very deeply. It simultaneously confused me because it was far outside my urban and idealistic paradigm. Over the years, as I've practiced and continued to let it unfold, my experience tells me it is a sound and effective solution to some of the challenges we face. It is generally human behavior, the unintended entropy of organizations or bureaucracy, and inflexible world views that prevent us from finding out if it is a real answer....

The singer stepped away from the spotlight in 2008 after experiencing pain in his hips that left him unable to perform at a high standard, and the thought of that still keeps him from hitting the road.
Bing: Dueling pianos: Joel, John in spat
"It was agony. At one point I couldn't even walk anymore and I thought, 'OK, that's it for me,'" Joel told Rolling Stone magazine. "I'm just too old to do this. I had to get hip replacements in both hips, and now, slowly but surely, I'm kinda (sic) getting back to normal. I'd say I'm 85 percent. I can walk OK, (but) I can't run like I used to. Everyone wants to know, 'Why don't you play more?' Honestly, I'm not as good as I used to be. I'm not as athletic as I used to be. I don't jump off the piano anymore -- that didn't help my hips, either. And my voice has changed. It's lowered."
Joel will play a one-off comeback gig at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in Louisiana in April.

Hanzawa Naoki
Hanzawa Naoki works for Tokyo Chuo Bank as the head of the Loans Division at their Osaka Nishi branch. The overbearing branch manager, Asano, forces him to award an unsecured loan of 500 million yen to Nishi Osaka Steel. On the surface, Nishi Osaka Steel seems like a very reputable company, but in actual fact it is a company in deep trouble. Debt-ridden, the company accountants resort to window-dressing the financial statements in order to hide the truth from the public. Three months after the loan, Nishi Osaka Steel goes bankrupt and the ambitious and power-hungry Asano makes Hanzawa the scapegoat for the 500 million loss. Hanzawa is called to Tokyo to answer to the internal investigations team, where he vehemently denies responsibility for the loss, and swears to recover the 500 million yen. That is the only course of action for Hanzawa, if he wants to survive in the banking industry. —by TBS

Pattern Play
Get out as many different kinds of small cereal as you have around the house, and pour out a handful or so of each. Make a pattern on a tray (for example, two Cheerios, three corn flakes, five Chex, and repeat). Then ask your child to copy your pattern. When he's done with that, mix it all up again and ask him to create his own pattern that you have to copy. This activity is a fun and easy way to help your child practice skills in focus and memorization.

SIOUX FALLS (KSTP) - Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson's 2-year-old son has died from injuries suffered during a reported assault by his mother's boyfriend.
Adrian Peterson's father Nelson Peterson confirmed Friday with the Pioneer Press that the boy was the son of Adrian Peterson.
TMZ initially reported Friday that the child was severely beaten by his mother's boyfriend.
According to the Sioux Falls police, the boy died Friday afternoon. The boy's name is expected to be released early next week.
Adrian Peterson briefly spoke Friday to news outlets before news that his son died. Peterson said he appreciated the support from fans and the Vikings staff. "This is a private matter. I'm going to ask you all to please just respect my privacy," he said.

Tony Hawk: Shred Hits the Pavement Hard in First Week; EA's MMA and DJ Hero 2 Sales Start SlowLast month, Tony Hawk: Shread developer Robomodo was hit with a wave of layoffs, reportedly letting go up to 60 employees. In the same fell swoop, it was revealed that Activision's eleven-year-old franchise would no longer be helmed by the slimmer team at Robomodo.
Today, Tony Hawk news isn't getting any less grim as investment firm Cowen and Company--speaking with GamesIndustry.biz--revealed that Tony Hawk: Shred sold 3,000 copies in the United States within its first week of availability.
The firm also noted that DJ Hero 2 and EA Sports MMA have gotten off to slow starts, pushing 59,000 and 45,000 units, respectively, out the door.
According to Cowan and Company, the low 6 percent in software growth for the month of October was largely due to slowed sales of previous highlights, specifically Halo: Reach and EA's NHL 11.
In the September NPD release, NHL 11 was fourth on the Top Ten combined-platform sales list, but failed to appear on the list in October. Microsoft announced that Halo: Reach sold 315K units in October, whereas the title sold 3.3 million units in its first month of sale.
Robomodo is a privately-owned, Chicago-based studio. It was formed by former employees of EA's (now defunct) Chicago studio in 2008.
Yesterday, Activision revealed it was "exploring [its] options regarding the future" of Bizarre Creations and did not rule out a potential sale. At the same time, the company confirmed it had closed Iowa-based Budcat Creations and announced it was "implementing a targeted reduction in jobs in [its] Quality Assurance team."

GREEN BAY (WSAU) Las Vegas odds-makers say the Green Bay Packers are an early three-and-a-half point favorite at Chicago in next Sunday's N-F-C Championship Game.
It will be the 182nd meeting between the Packers and Chicago Bears – and only the second in the post-season. The first was on December 14th of 1941, when the Bears beat the Pack 33-to-14.
Yesterday the second-seeded Bears punched their ticket to the conference title game with a 35-to-24 home victory over Seattle. That was after the number-six Packers crushed top-seeded Atlanta on the road Saturday night. Bears' receiver Devin Hester says Sunday's game will be a shoot-out, as the two teams battle for a bid to Super Bowl-45 in Arlington Texas.
The two teams split a pair of games during the regular season. A Packers' victory on Sunday would send them to the Big Game for the first time in 13 years. They last won the N-F-L title in January of 1997 – 11 years to the day after the Bears won their last crown. Chicago lost to Indianapolis in its last Super Bowl appearance four seasons ago. Jay Cutler threw touchdown passes and ran for two more yesterday in his first post-season game. The Bears built up a 28-nothing lead early in the third quarter. Former Packer Matt Hasselbeck threw for 271 yards and three scores for Seattle. E-S-P-N said Hasselbeck had fluid drained from one of his outer thighs-and-hips on Saturday night.
The Packers-Bears game has been scheduled for a 2pm CT kickoff at Soldier Field in Chicago.

age: 35
occupation: equestrian singing ringmaster of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
found at: XL Center
Why did you join the circus? I'd never seen the circus before I joined. I wanted to add stilt-walking to my repertoire and I had the opportunity to audition. My family members asked "Are you crazy?"
What is the hardest thing about your job? Staying healthy. There's one ringmaster. If I get sick, the show must go on.
What gets you through each week? No matter what I'm going through, I make sure the audience feels different when they leave than when they entered the doors. Any time I can make a dream come true for anybody, I've done my job.
When you are on the road but not working, what do you do? I love to play pool. Every city I go to, I try to find a place to play.
What is the worst advice anyone has given you? "You'll never be able to do that."
If you could go back in time to give yourself some advice, what would it be? I would've joined the circus a whole lot younger.
What else should we know about you? Come to the circus...I like to be looked at.

Will 2013 Box Office Receipts Propel Entertainment Stocks?
Alfonso is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
2012 proved to be a remarkable year at the box office with record setters and major smash hits, which contributed in driving shares of entertainment stocks to outperform the S&P 500. Several highly anticipated films, including: sequels, offshoots & reboots, are slated for release this year. As a result, expect 2013 to see robust ticket sales, but will this propel select entertainment stocks in providing solid returns for investors? The following companies have some of the biggest releases of the year:
Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) reaped tremendous box office returns in 2012, led by Marvel's The Avengers. Its take of $1.5 billion not only trounced the competition as box office champ, but also set the course for eagerly awaited offshoots like: Thor: The Dark World & Iron Man 3. Disney is swinging for the fences, as it also releases The Lone Ranger with Johnny Depp, and several animated films. But despite these huge potential moneymakers, revenue is dominated by the Media Networks division (which includes ABC & ESPN), and Parks & Resorts arm. At 46% and 30% respectively, the two combine to account for 75% of the mighty mouse's annual output. Those percentages have been consistent for the past few years. Studio Entertainment comprises theatrical releases, as well as home video, and accounted for only around 14% of overall revenue. Expect that number to increase this year, in light of the number of high profile releases.
Disney has remained a staple of portfolios, based on consistent profitability and the strength of its iconic and venerable brand. Pixar & Marvel Entertainment combine the leading innovator in computer animation and a vast superhero catalog. The recent purchase of Lucasfilm sets the stage for Disney to capitalize on the strength of the Star Wars franchise, as well as the intriguing prospects of its video game division. It currently trades at 17x earnings, and pays a respectable dividend of 1.4%. What's not to like about those attributes?
For Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF), the independent studio darling that has grown from piker to player since its inception, profit hinges largely on the success of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and several other films. Their television programming includes Mad Men, which is still airing. In spite of limited releases, Lionsgate has proven year after year that it knows how to make money on a shoestring. Investors have blown the stock up and its PE ratio is over 350, which is inherently absurd from a pure fundamental aspect. Lionsgate's purchase of Summit Entertainment a year ago capitalized on what was left of the $3 billion Twilight series, but that cow has been milked.
A big issue with this mid cap trading favorite, is that it operates on a tight budget, so there is little margin for error. Despite the impending success of the Hunger Games franchise, coupled with modest television programming, one should be cautious here, since there just isn't anything else to rely on. Limited content has been a concern for investors of the thrifty studio in the past, yet they have somehow managed to prove the naysayers wrong time and time again.
Despite the conclusion of Christopher Nolan's epic Batman trilogy, holders of Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) should not fret. Major entries, including a Superman reboot, along with another Hangover entry and the 2nd Hobbit film, are on tap. The success of the first Hobbit movie is enormous, with gross receipts over $900 million and counting. The Networks division tops revenue for the company and along with Filmed Entertainment, comprises 90% of annual revenue. Listed channels include: TNT, TBS, CNN, HBO, and Cinemax. Original programming on HBO & Cinemax boasts hits like Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, and True Blood. The publishing arm rounds out the remaining 10%. The stock is trading at under 20x earnings, with a nice dividend of over 2%. Time Warner has well recognized brands in all segments of their businesses and should enjoy another big year.
Having multiple revenue streams is imperative when considering these companies. Movies are very expensive to produce and market. These factors can shrink profit margins substantially. With the release lineups this year, 2013 will equal, if not transcend 2012 box office receipts. This might provide a bump in shares of some of the underlying parent companies, but don't expect them to rely solely on that variable, unless you are Lionsgate.

News Release
Sergeant Michael B. Webb
Kentucky State Police
Public Affairs Branch
Office (502) 782-1780
KSP Host 8th Annual 'Drive To Stay Alive' Academy
Date of News Release: 10/13/2010
(Frankfort, Ky.) (Oct. 13, 2010) -- Twenty-one high school students from 17 schools throughout the state checked into the Kentucky State Police Academy in Frankfort today for the 8th Annual 'Drive To Stay Alive' program.
'Drive To Stay Alive' (D2SA) is a four-day defensive driving academy for teens that combine classroom studies and road course tests in an effort to reduce teen deaths on Kentucky roadways.
In 2009, there were 23,680 teens driving collisions resulting in 4,851 injuries and 108 deaths.
The 'Drive To Stay Alive' program is designed to combat these statistics explains Capt. David Jude, Commander of the KSP Highway Safety Branch.
"The training includes hands-on driving maneuvers that take place on a professional driving course covering topics such as skid control, backing skills, multiple turns and lane interchange, evasive maneuvers, off-road recovery, and controlled braking," he notes.
"The students will also get the chance to use a driving simulator during classroom instruction, which allows students to mimic multiple driving situations like seasonal driving (snow/rain) and driving while using a cell phone or texting," says Jude.
Jude advised that classroom instruction includes seat belt safety, vehicle dynamics, crash causation, distracted and aggressive driving, and other safety initiatives.
According to Jude, the real potential of the D2SA program begins after the students return to their schools.
"The students are teamed with an experienced state trooper to spread the safe driving message to the student body in each school and to their community as well," he says. "The effectiveness of the program is based on the concept that a message conveyed by a fellow student carries more weight with other students and is therefore more memorable."
KSP has scheduled a 'Media Day' event at the McKinney Skills Driving Complex in Richmond on Oct. 15, 2010 from 12:00 2:00 p.m. Members of the media are welcome to drive the course, video footage of the course activities and interview students and KSP staff.
Schools participating this year:
Anderson Co. High School
Barbourville High School
Bath Co High School
Bullitt East High School
Bullitt Central High School
Daviess Co. High School
East Jessamine High School
Eminence High School
