Reexamining the Definition of Cancer

A viewpoint published in The Journal of the American Medical Association recommended refining the definition of cancer and reexamining how the disease is detected and treated. Laura Esserman, one of the authors, and Larry Norton, from Memorial Sloan-Kettering, discuss what a new definition would mean.

How 'junk DNA' can control cell development

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Researchers have confirmed that, far from being "junk," the 97 percent of human DNA that does not encode instructions for making proteins can play a significant role in controlling cell development. And in doing so, the researchers have unraveled a previously unknown mechanism for regulating the activity of genes, increasing our understanding of the way cells develop and opening the way to new possibilities for therapy.

No prison for woman whose baby died after she ate rat poison while ...

By Susan Guyett, Reuters

INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana prosecutors have dropped murder and attempted feticide charges against an Indianapolis woman who tried to kill herself by eating rat poison near the end of her pregnancy.

Bei Bei Shuai, 36, was charged in March 2011 with knowingly killing a viable fetus, prosecutors said.

Shuai walked out of Marion County Superior Court in Indianapolis a free woman on Friday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of criminal recklessness for the death of her newborn daughter, Angel.

She had been released from prison on bond in May 2012. Under the plea agreement, she did not have to serve more jail time.

"I have to say thank you to everyone who supported me before because without them, I'm not going to be able to continue to today," Shuai told reporters in footage posted on the Indianapolis Star website.

Shuai consumed rat poison while 33 weeks' pregnant in December 2010, prosecutors said. She was taken to a hospital where she admitted to attempting to kill herself after her boyfriend left her, according to a police statement.

Shuai's baby girl, Angel Shuai, was born alive, but died a few days after being taken off life support.

Shuai is from China and has no family members in the United States, according to her lawyer, Linda Pence.

Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry said his office had always been willing to resolve the case for lesser charges. Earlier proposed deals had been rejected by the defense.

Curry said decisions by the trial judge about what could and could not be entered into evidence at the trial played a role in the negotiations.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg: More NC, SC guns used in crimes

ROCK HILL, SC (WBTV)- Are guns from other states to blame for crimes in New York City?

According to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, that answer is yes and he says guns from both of the Carolinas are a major contributing factor.

?"Unfortunately it's very easy to carry a gun from one state to another and so we really do have an interest and what goes on in the rest of this country," said Mayor Bloomberg.

Mayor Bloomberg says 90% of guns used in crimes in the city's five boroughs come from out of state.

2011 statistics from Bloomberg's camp show Virginia, North and South Carolina as the top three sources for out-of-state guns.

"Despite all we do to keep our city safe, we're increasingly at the mercy of weak national gun laws and weak gun laws in other states," said Mayor Bloomberg.

One South Carolina gun dealer says he makes sure guns get into the right hands from his shop.

"If they're having problems with coming into their state, then they need to stop it at the border. It has nothing to do with the other states," Sportsman Inc. Owner Blair Wisher.

Wisher says he follows strict federal laws before selling guns, including performing national background checks.

Mayor Bloomberg is calling for other states to have tighter background checks, better reporting of lost or stolen guns and limiting the number of firearms a person can buy.

"It's pretty convenient for them to point the finger at someone else instead of pointing at themselves," said Wisher.

"To those who say stay out of our state, our answer is we'd love to. Just as soon as you stop letting guns seep into the black market land in the hands of criminals and be used to murder our citizens," said Mayor Bloomberg.

Mayor Bloomberg says there were more than 2,000 out of state guns used in crimes in New York City in 2011. That's a 4% increase from a year earlier.

India eases sourcing, investment rules for foreign supermarkets

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India eased investment rules for the retail sector on Thursday, allowing foreign supermarket operators to procure from small businesses which have invested no more than the equivalent of $2 million in plant and machinery, Trade Minister Anand Sharma told reporters.

Global supermarket chains like Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Tesco will also be allowed to invest 50 percent of an "initial" mandatory investment of $100 million in setting up cold storages and warehouses in the country, Sharma said.

India, which threw open its supermarket sector to foreign retailers in September 2012, has not yet received a single application due to ambiguity around existing entry rules.
