UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has signed on to do an independent film with Edward James Olmos, the star of "Battlestar Galactica," "Stand and Deliver" and other awesome films. Called "Monday Nights at Seven," a love story set against the intense world of mixed martial arts, according to a press release about the film. There's a Kickstarter to get the project funded, and it seems like a cool thing to support. The only problem is that it might rip a hole in the time-space continuum.
See, that's Silva in the middle with Olmos on the right. MMA fans, does he look familiar? Bring anyone to mind?
Like MMA cutman Jacob "Stitch" Duran? Let's take another look.
There's Olmos.
There's Stitch, doing work.
What if Olmos shows up to Silva's fight at UFC 162? Will the two men meet up, ripping a hole through time and space forever? It could be the end of the world as we know it. So say we all.

Grown children in China must visit their parents or face fines or even jail, according to a new law that went into effect today.
In this May 23, 2013 photo, an elderly man helps his wife on a wheelchair at a park in Beijing. New wording in the law requiring people to visit or keep in touch with their elderly parents or risk being sued came into force Monday, as China faces increasing difficulty in caring for its aging population.

Grown children who do not visit their aged parents often enough could be fined or even jailed according to a law that went into effect here?on Monday.
Exactly what ?enough? means is not specified in the law, which will make it hard to enforce. But the legislation underlines how radically China?s modernization and its ?one child policy? have transformed the country over the past 30 years.
Market reforms have contributed to the break up of the traditional extended family, as more and more young people leave their hometowns to seek work, and population control efforts mean parents have only one child to lean on when they are older.
More than 194 million Chinese are over 60-years-old, according to official figures. By 2030 that figure will have almost doubled.
China?s parliament amended the Law to Protect the Rights and Interests of the Aged last December, in the wake of a spate of reports about neglected old people. Still, the new wording does not make it clear how often adult children are expected to visit their parents, nor how punishments for offenders will be calculated.
The law ?is mainly to stress the right of elderly people to ask for emotional support,? one of the drafters, law professor Xiao Jinming told the Associated Press. ?We want to emphasize that there is such a need.?
The law met with much criticism on the Internet, where social media platforms are largely populated by the sort of young people who do not have brothers and sisters to share the financial and emotional burden of caring for their ageing parents, few of whom have any kind of pension.
For them, the topic is of red-hot relevance. Nearly 17 million people posted comments on the Twitter-like Sina Weibo site. Zhou Simiao spoke for many when she wrote that ?visiting parents is a moral problem rather than a legal one. I can?t return home once a year since I work in Tibet. I can only say to my mum in Liaoning, ?I am sorry mum. Your daughter is an outlaw.??

The last time we caught up with news of Colin Giles was a year ago, right after some particularly downbeat Nokia financials, when he left the Finnish manufacturer to spend more time with his family. Now, having clocked up sufficient mileage in his station wagon, he's accepted a major role at Huawei as an executive VP responsible for consumer sales and marketing. He brings with him 20 years' experience of growing Nokia's market share in Asia and beyond, including a 12-month stint within its Leadership Team, all of which will now be put to work undoing itself and potentially adding to the sense of encroachment.
