Judge: Miss. anti-abortion law stays blocked

Reuters

Diane Derzis, owner of Mississippi's lone abortion clinic, sits in the reception area. She has challenged a law that could shut down her facility.

By msnbc.com and news services

Updated at 6:36 p.m. ET: A federal judge on Wednesday said he would continue to block a state law that threatens to shut down Mississippi?s only abortion clinic.

U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III, who was appointed to the bench by former President George W. Bush, had delayed the law?s implementation on July 1 with a temporary restraining order. After his decision on Wednesday not to lift the order, it is unclear how long the law will now be delayed.

At issue is a law that abortion rights advocates say is a thinly veiled attempt to ban the procedure in Mississippi. Supporters of the measure argue it is necessary to ensure women's safety.


The law, signed by Republican Governor Phil Bryant in April, requires physicians who perform abortions to be board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology, and to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.

The clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization, says it has been unable to obtain admitting privileges for its two out-of-state OB-GYNs because local hospitals have not responded to their requests.

In his July 1 ruling to temporarily block the law, Judge Jordan wrote that the plaintiffs, the state?s sole abortion clinic, ?have offered evidence ? including quotes from significant legislative and executive officers ? that the Act?s purpose is to eliminate abortions in Mississippi. They likewise submitted evidence that no safety or health concerns motivated its passage. This evidence has not yet been rebutted.?

In his opening arguments on Wednesday, Jordan said, according to WAPT.com, ?This is a court of law, not a political debate.?

Later, the jude said, according to The Jackson Free Press, that the case is unique because it is unclear whether doctors for the clinic will be able to get admitting privileges.

Mississippi, which had as many as 14 abortion providers in the early 1980s, would be the only state without an abortion clinic should the clinic, based in Jackson, Miss., close. The clinic opened in 1996; in the last 18 months, the clinic has performed about 3,000 abortions, according to court papers.??

Mississippi already has some of the country's strictest abortion laws and one of the lowest abortion rates. It also has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the United States - more than 60 percent above the national average in 2010.

Supporters of the law say it's designed to protect patients. But Republican Gov. Phil Bryant has said openly that he hopes it will make Mississippi "abortion-free."

?Usually elected officials at least pretend that the law is about health and safety,? Attorney Michelle Movahed told msnbc.com. ?But the elected officials have openly said they would like this law to close down the state?s only abortion clinic.?

Although officials changed their tune somewhat when litigation started, no one has renounced their earlier hopes that the law could shutter the clinic, Movahed said.

?No one said, ?Oh crap, we didn?t realize the effect this would have on the clinic,? she said.

Clinic owner Diane Derzis said that since she acquired Jackson Women's Health Organization in 2010, no woman has had to be taken from the clinic by ambulance. Additionally, if the clinic closed, the closest clinics to Jackson are about 200 miles away, in Louisiana, Tennessee and Alabama.

Mississippi physicians who perform fewer than 10 abortions a month can avoid having their offices regulated as an abortion clinic, and thus avoid restrictions in the new law. The clinic's owner has said the clinic is unlikely to stay open and perform that few abortions per month. The Health Department said it doesn't have a record of how many physicians perform fewer than 10 abortions a month.

Clinic operators say almost all the abortions in the state are done in their building. They say in court papers that the clinic did about 3,000 abortions in 18 months.

The U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 established a nationwide right to abortion. In 1992, the court's decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey upheld the Roe decision and allowed states to regulate abortions before fetuses are viable.

But, as supporters of Mississippi clinic point out, the 1992 decision also said states may not place undue burdens or substantial obstacles to women seeking abortion.

Myanmar plans to open doors to foreign telcos for affordable cellular, internet service

Myanmar plans to open doors to foreign telcos for affordable cellular, internet service

Hefty price tags haven't exactly made cellphones ubiquitous in cash-strapped Myanmar. According to AFP, an estimated 96 percent of the nation's 60 million inhabitants don't own a mobile handset, but that might soon be changing. A new reform plan announced by Myanmar's Post and Telecommunication Minister, Thein Tun, lays out a strategy that could finally give said folks a crack at affordable cellular and internet services. If succesful, the initiative will start a bidding process for international telcos to set up shop in the country, allowing the companies to partner with the state-owned telephone provider and the ISP Yatanarpon Teleport. There's no word on when the partnerships may coalesce, but here's to hoping that $200 SIM card registration fees in Myanmar soon become a thing of the past. Full details at the source link below.

Women in Science: Using flies to fight cancer | | Independent Editor's ...

2012 07 10 Small path flies 284x300 Women in Science: Using flies to fight cancer My research group is interested in cell growth and cancer ? we work on human cancer cells, but many of our ideas have come from studying growth in flies. You may at this point be wondering why we would want to use fruit flies to understand human cancer. I teach medical students here in Oxford, and although many also initially query the relevance of using flies to understand human disease, they tend to become convinced of this during the course of their degree. I hope that this short blog will serve to give you a flavour of how work with flies continues to make important contributions in the fight against cancer.

Flies and humans are on the face of it very different. But this isn?t the case if we look at the instructions for making these animals, which are contained within their genes. Remarkably, around 70% of the genes involved in human disease are shared with flies. The surprising level of similarity in how humans and much simpler organisms have been put together has meant that we can use flies as so-called ?model organisms? to work out how genes work in flies and humans.

People have been using flies to understand how genes work for over a hundred years, long before we actually knew about DNA. During this time, a lot of tricks have been developed that make this work particularly helpful.

Studies with flies have been remarkably successful in highlighting how the products of genes, proteins, work together in a sequential manner to transmit a message or signal from cell to cell or within a cell. These sets of proteins and the genes that make them are commonly referred to as a ?signalling pathway? and these pathways control how our cells behave ? actually most of the signalling pathways that play important roles in cancer were first found in flies.

It was the work of a remarkable woman, Christiane N?sslein-Volhard, and her colleague, Eric Wieschaus, that set the groundwork for much of our current understanding of signalling. She undertook an amazingly ambitious experiment in flies looking for all the genes involved in development. These genes were shown later to link together in a series of signalling pathways, and most of these pathways have since been shown to be affected in human cancer. She was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1995 for this work based on a surprisingly simple idea, which through clever experimental design and hard work, led to a whole series of completely unexpected findings.

In the US, after I finished my first degree in Chemistry, I had the good fortune to work in a couple of fly labs at Harvard and MIT. I had last studied biology when I was 16, and so this was quite a steep learning curve, but proved to be a serendipitous start to my current career. In Boston, there is quite a concentration of ?fly labs? with some amazingly creative scientists. I remember being struck by the way in which fly workers had managed to get very clear, but unexpected insights into a wide range of biological processes, such as learning and ageing, just by carefully studying flies that didn?t seem to do these things normally.

These labs tended to have quite a mix of men and women aspiring to establish new fields of research that would enable then to develop a career as future leaders in their areas, while frequently also juggling commitments to their families. This was a great place for a young impressionable scientist to start out and an environment that really inspired me to dream about leading my own research group one day, while still having a family, even though I knew it would not be a straightforward process.

My research group currently works both with flies and with human cells, which we grow in dishes, trying to understand how growth is controlled, particularly by what we eat.

I became interested in this problem when we discovered a gene called PTEN in flies and found that it tells cells how much to grow. This finding was important, because at about the same time it became clear that PTEN didn?t work properly in the majority of human cancers. Work from many fly labs around the world has since highlighted a signalling pathway that regulates the size of cells, not only in flies, but also in people that is kept in check by PTEN. This pathway is regulated by hormones that look like insulin. Levels of these hormones are increased as we ingest more nutrients.

Remarkably, humans also share another growth-controlling system, which is also found in very simple organisms like baker?s yeast. It is controlled directly by nutrients, but also links up to the pathway controlled by PTEN. Again, using the fly approach, we have found a nutrient-sensing molecule that controls this second pathway and is very active in cancer cells. We are currently working with medical doctors to see if we can selectively target cancers by blocking this sensor with drugs.

Many people have a fascination in understanding how animals work and why they look so different from one another ? that?s why David Attenborough is so popular. I am going to be bringing some animals along to my talk. I?ve been fortunate enough to make a career out of studying animal biology, while thinking about healthcare problems.

OUYA: The Android-Powered Gaming Console That Wants to Take ...

My two biggest gripes with mobile Android gaming are as follows: I don?t have a reliable controller for most of the games, and the screens are too small to really get immersed in. Kickstarter is hosting a very promising looking project called OUYA (pronounced ooh-yah) that looks to take mobile gaming back to the living room, and rival the big console makers. This Android powered console is calling on the powers of Android?s open development platform and the free-to-play model of gaming that has been all the rage recently. Can this grassroots program rattle the cages of Sony and Microsoft?

Update: ?And within a couple hours of posting, OUYA went from about $600K to over $1 million and is now past their goal with 29 days still to go. That was insanely fast.

The OUYA team has created a prototype console that is based off our favorite OS and even uses parts that you might find in your phones today:

  • Tegra 3 quad-core processor
  • 1GB of RAM
  • 8GB of flash memory
  • HDMI connection to the TV, with support for up to 1080p HD
  • WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
  • USB 2.0 (one)
  • Wireless Controllers
  • Ice Cream Sandwich

All the games that work for Android now will work on OUYA and the developers of the console are hoping to entice game developers to make games just for their console, that are made to play on the big screen in your living room. Games like Shadowgun and Dead Trigger will look and play great on your TV and even Minecraft will be included in all this fun.

One interesting note from the developer states ?We?re handing the reins over to the developer with only one condition: at least some gameplay has to be free.? F2P has taken off in PC gaming recently with most games going free and then allowing you to buy upgrades to the game for real money. Microtransactions are now funding Team Fortress 2 and League of Legends, even though some players never pay a cent to play them. It?s an interesting demand but in the long run it could be beneficial for any owners of the OUYA.

OUYA is looking to raise money through Kickstarter and their goal is $950,000 to get the project up and running fully. At the time of this post they are near half that already, with 29 days to go. You can reserve a username for as little as $10 but if you want to get a console for yourself, $99 will get you an OUYA before they hit stores. This little console definitely has a lot of potential and could redefine gaming on the Android platform, we?ll just have to see how we eventually get there.

Man accidentally eats steel bristle during BBQ

(AP) ? A Tacoma man needed emergency surgery after accidentally eating a steel bristle from a grill brush he used during a barbeque.

KING 5 reports that (http://is.gd/J7Tivj ) Adam Wojtanowicz (woh-TAN-oh-witz) went to the hospital Sunday complaining of abdominal pain that wouldn't go away despite his taking medication. Doctors found a metal bristle on a CT scan and performed surgery to get it out.

Wojtanowicz says he recently hosted a cookout, and he thinks a steel bristle from his grill brush fell onto his steak. He says he apparently swallowed the metal without realizing it.

The Centers for Disease Control says it knows of at least six people who have recently suffered similar, potentially fatal, injuries. It doesn't blame a particular brand or type of brush.

Wojtanowicz is expected to recover.
