Demi Moore Mud Bath Photos Reveal Crazy Times In Mexico

Demi Moore was spotted in Mexico enjoying some vacation time with friends in the mud and a bath that?s supposed to help rejuvenate the skin, body, and mind. The actress has been spotted at a few public places and it?s apparent that she?s moving on with her life without Ashton Kutcher.

Kutcher filed for divorce last month, which was when Moore went into hiding. As it turns out, it didn?t last long because she was spotted at a party and was enjoying herself. There are rumors that she has hooked up with another young man, younger than Kutcher.

Moore, 50, was photographed enjoying a mud bath, which is common for tourists who visit the resort in Tulum, Mexico.

?Demi Moore was snapped enjoying a mud spa treatment on her Christmas vacation at a resort in Tulum, Mexico. She indulged with a little dirt on the beach and relaxed in the warm sunshine,? insiders said.

?Of course, the 50-year-old star bared her muy caliente bikini bod for the beauty treatment, flaunting her slim and trim figure while getting down ?n dirty,? according to media outlet E! Online.

?Demi was joined by a group of girlfriends on the holiday vacay, and she stayed in Mexico for a week, enjoying the mud bath on New Year?s Eve,? E! says.

Friends and other insiders say Moore is ?in a really good place at the moment and is hopeful about the future.?

Moore is seeing someone but it?s ?nothing serious? for the time being, so she?s putting off public appearances for now.

Kutcher, who is dating Mila Kunis, was finally granted a divorce after Moore refused to sign the papers, prompting speculation that a court battle was near, but the two reached a financial agreement that would please them both.

Moore has been though a lot of turmoil with Kutcher and friends are upbeat that she is finally moving forward with her life.

Obama signs bill for Sandy flood insurance claims - Salt Lake Tribune

Washington ? President Barack Obama has signed into law a $9.7 billion bill to pay flood insurance claims from Superstorm Sandy.

The law increases the borrowing authority of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA had warned that it was set to run out of money without additional dollars from Congress.

The White House said more than 100,000 flood claim payments from Sandy would be delayed without the additional money.

The House has yet to act on a larger, more comprehensive Sandy aid package. Republican leaders did not bring the bill to the floor before the previous session of Congress adjourned.

House Speaker John Boehner has promised a vote Jan. 15 on that $51 billion package, and Senate leaders promised a vote the next week.

Last week, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie smacked down Boehner for delaying a vote on the storm aid package. Christie said he tried to call Boehner four times Tuesday, but none of the calls was returned. Christie?s office received 800 emails in the hours after the governor?s Boehner news conference, mostly positive.

Christie said he was just doing his job.

"It never struck me that what I should do is calibrate my language in order to be more political. With Boehner, I would have reacted differently if the speaker had picked up my phone calls Tuesday night and explained what he was doing. The fact that 66 days had already gone by with no assistance, all that stuff conspired to create the reaction that I gave."

Risk genes for Alzheimer's and mental illness linked to brain changes at birth

Thursday, January 3, 2013

Some brain changes that are found in adults with common gene variants linked to disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and autism can also be seen in the brain scans of newborns.

"These results suggest that prenatal brain development may be a very important influence on psychiatric risk later in life," said Rebecca C. Knickmeyer, PhD, lead author of the study and assistant professor of psychiatry in the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. The study was published by the journal Cerebral Cortex on Jan. 3, 2013.

The study included 272 infants who received MRI scans at UNC Hospitals shortly after birth. The DNA of each was tested for 10 common variations in 7 genes that have been linked to brain structure in adults. These genes have also been implicated in conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety disorders and depression.

For some polymorphisms ? such as a variation in the APOE gene which is associated with Alzheimer's disease ? the brain changes in infants looked very similar to brain changes found in adults with the same variants, Knickmeyer said. "This could stimulate an exciting new line of research focused on preventing onset of illness through very early intervention in at-risk individuals."

But this was not true for every polymorphism included in the study, said John H. Gilmore, MD, senior author of the study and Thad & Alice Eure Distinguished Professor and Vice Chair for Research and Scientific Affairs in the UNC Department of Psychiatry.

For example, the study included two variants in the DISC1 gene. For one of these variants, known as rs821616, the infant brains looked very similar to the brains of adults with this variant. But there was no such similarity between infant brains and adult brains for the other variant, rs6675281.

"This suggests that the brain changes associated with this gene variant aren't present at birth but develop later in life, perhaps during puberty," Gilmore said.

"It's fascinating that different variants in the same gene have such unique effects in terms of when they affect brain development," said Knickmeyer.

Fiscal cliff averted, many would like to file taxes

By Allison Linn, TODAY

The Internal Revenue Service said it is still?figuring out what effect the last-minute fiscal cliff legislation will have on when you can file your taxes.

That?s bad news for thousands of Life Inc. readers who would like to get those tax returns filed as soon as they can.

A story this week on the possible tax filing delays that could have resulted if Congress wasn?t able to strike a fiscal cliff deal prompted many readers to express their frustration with lawmakers in Washington ? and their eagerness to get the income tax ball rolling.

About half of the approximately 29,000 people who took our poll said they like to file their income taxes?in January if possible.

?I file as soon as I can just because I like to get things done in a timely manner. It's a shame that (politicians) don't follow this trend,? one reader lamented.

The IRS had warned that there could be serious tax filing delays for millions of Americans if Congress couldn?t provide a ?patch? for the Alternative Minimum Tax.

That?s a provision in the tax code that was designed to ensure that wealthy taxpayers have to pay at least a minimum amount of taxes. Because it was never indexed for inflation, Congress has had to provide temporary fixes over the years to ensure that lower-income taxpayers aren?t affected.

The fiscal cliff deal that President Barack Obama signed into law Wednesday resolved that long-running issue with a more permanent fix.

But the IRS still hasn?t been able to say what, if any, delays might result because Congress acted at the very last minute on a fiscal cliff deal. In a statement Thursday, the IRS said it was still reviewing the details of the legislation?and would provide an update soon on when Americans could start filing their 2012 returns.

Americans don?t necessarily look forward to filing their taxes, but many seemed more frustrated with the political wrangling in Washington than with the familiar early year chore.

?This country is being ruined by 500+ people who are acting like (kindergarten) kids. We the People,? one reader complained.

Still, some readers didn?t seem too bothered by the delays, since they were planning to procrastinate?anyway.

?We don't mind paying our taxes, just not a day sooner than due,? said one reader, who was planning to file taxes around April 15.
