Grandma Jailed for Attempted Sale of Grandson

Holly Hill Florida:  A grandmother accused of trying to sell her newborn grandson last year pleaded no contest Thursday to two felony charges of illegal sale of a child and using a cell phone to commit a crime.  Patty Bigbee tried to sell her infant grandson for $75,000.  

The Missouri lottery confirmed that in 2008, she won a $1 million lottery prize in Hazelwood, Missouri(Good things happen to bad people).  Apparently, she blew the money in 2 years and became desperate for money...

She is hoping for leniency in the court case.  No leniency for her please jury?  Thanks.

Possible Cure for Gray Hair!

Scientists at the Ito Lab at New York University's Langone Medical Center have identified the proteins that cause gray hair, which could lead to a cure for it!  They have already restored gray-haired mice back to their original color, and back again to gray.  "Mouse and the human hairs are very similar in the way they are structured..." states Dr Piul Rabbani "and the way they contain melanocyte stem cells.  We found that the wnt signaling pathway is activated the same way."

I hope they find a cure, although i wouldn't mind going gray when I'm older =P

The News Overreacts!

Just a quick little rant!  Ever notice how the news takes one little thing and pretty much blows it out of proportion or is all like "oh my god that was so amazing" when it was a casual thing?  Take for example: Abc News: Article "Weiner Spotted Shopping With His Wife"  Summary of description: Hours after Rep.. Anthony Weiner resigned, he as spotted at the grocery store.  

Who cares?!  Let him be a normal person grocery shopping now that he resigned! What's the big deal?  Just.. rawr

9-year-old saves mom by stabbing attacker in the back!

In Wisconsin, a 9-year-old girl stabbed a knife wielding thug in the back after he threatened to slit her mother's throat.  Jason M. Fields,27, was holding a knife to his ex-girlfriend when the woman's daughter took a kitchen knife and stabbed it into Fields' back.  Fields groaned and dropped the knife according to reports.  Police were called to the house hours earlier because of a smashed windshield in the woman's car created by Fields.  But they left after he gave her cash for the damages.  According to the girl, this was actually the second time she had stabbed Fields so she wasn't shook up by the incident.  Fields was arrested and charged with first-degree recklessly endangering safety, strangulation, and disorderly conduct for the attack on the woman, who was not identified. Very brave girl.
