Thousands of breast cancer patients have been given hope after scientists found an immune cell which may stop the disease returning.
In a world-first discovery, researchers have spotted ‘gamma delta T cells’ in human breast tissue.
They believe the cell, released by the immune system to fight tumours, may play an important role in wiping out breast cancer.
Women are more likely to survive breast cancer if their immune system kills all the tumour cells so the cancer cannot come back.
A Michigan municipal election official being charged with six felonies in the discarding of nearly 200 votes is not likely an indication of voting problems nationally, election experts say. But an election integrity watchdog still wants to get to the bottom of the matter.
“Whether it changed the outcome is not really an issue when you are talking about civil rights. What does matter is canceling votes,” J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, told The Daily Signal. “The Justice Department needs to carefully scrutinize what votes were canceled and why she would have improperly discarded those 193 [votes].”
Michigan State Police arrested Southfield City Clerk Sherikia Hawkins in late September on charges related to altering or throwing away 193 absentee ballots.

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland — Beaudouin Tchakounte was driving for Uber on the night of Aug. 27 in Oxon Hill, Maryland, when he and passenger Casey Xavier Robinson were fatally shot inside the 2015 silver Mercedes-Benz, Prince George’s County Police said.
Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Aisha Braveboy announced Sept. 26 that Aaron Wilson Jr. of Fort Washington, Maryland, was indicted on two counts of common law murder, two counts of use of a firearm in a crime of violence and two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection with the deaths.
If convicted, Wilson could be sentenced to a maximum of two life sentences plus 40 years, according to Braveboy’s office. Wilson had requested a shared ride via Uber, police said.
OCEAN CITY — The good news is Ocean City employee pension fund remains strong, while the bad news is the town continues to take losses on the market investments that help fuel it.
The Mayor and Council last week got a lengthy review of the status of the town’s two employee pension funds, including one for general employees and another for its public safety employees. The presentation was long and detailed, but boiled down to its simplest terms, the review showed Ocean City’s two pension funds are in solid shape with the general employee’s pension funded a little over 86% and the public safety plan funded at around 82%.
Of course, 100% is the ideal, but that lofty number is largely a pipe dream for most jurisdictions including counties and cities. Nationally, the average is around 73%, so Ocean City is doing much better than many of its colleagues in terms of funding levels for its pension plans.
The coach had put together the perfect team for the Chicago Bears. The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. Then, one night while watching CNN, he saw a war-zone scene in the West Bank. In one corner of the background he spotted a young Israeli soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away.
KABOOM!
He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney.
KA-BLOOEY!
Then he threw another at a passing car going 90 mph.
BULLS-EYE!
“I’ve got to get this guy!” Coach said to himself. “He has the perfect arm!”
So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. And the Bears go on to win the Super Bowl. The young man is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants is to call his mother.
“Mom,” he says into the phone, “I just won the Super Bowl!”
“I don’t want to talk to you, the old woman says. “You are no longer my son!”
“I don’t think you understand, Mother,” the young man pleads. “I’ve won the greatest sporting event in the world. I’m here among thousands of my adoring fans.”
“No! Let me tell you!” his mother retorts. “At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn’t get raped!” The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says…
“I will never forgive you for making us move to Chicago!
Planned Parenthood, the titan of the abortion industry, wants to win in 2020 and it’s investing more money than ever to do it.
The organization announced on Wednesday that it plans to spend at least $45 million on local, state, and federal candidates who support abortion. Its “largest-ever electoral effort” is a huge jump from 2018, when the group spent a comparatively meager $5.1 million in the midterm elections, according to Open Secrets.
Planned Parenthood wants to win the White House, take back the Senate for Democrats, and elect legislators across America who will support legal and subsidized abortion. But Planned Parenthood, its executives still insist, is not political.
The Trump administration has proposed relaxing 30-year-old rules that prevent self-referrals and kickbacks in medicine, saying they get in the way of different parts of the healthcare system working together.
The proposal, which President Trump will speak about Wednesday in Minnesota, applies to the Physician Self-Referral Law and the Anti-Kickback Law, which exist to protect patients so doctors wouldn’t order unnecessary, costly tests or procedures just so they could benefit financially. Despite the protections, healthcare industries have been pushing for changes, saying the rules had become overly burdensome and expensive, and prevented them from setting up arrangements that would help patients get access to the care they need more easily and at lower prices.
The initiative is part of a broader Trump administration effort to cut red tape throughout the federal government and to outline Trump’s healthcare priorities ahead of the 2020 election. The next announcement is expected to be about drug prices.
