New Therapeutic Approaches Suggested By Insight Into Mechanism Of Lung Cancer-Associated Mutations
Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center researchers have identified how one of the genes most commonly mutated in lung cancer may promote such tumors. The investigators found that the protein encoded by this gene, called EPHA3, normally inhibits tumor formation, and that loss or mutation of the gene - as often happens in lung cancer - diminishes this tumor-suppressive effect, potentially sparking the formation of lung cancer. The findings, published July 24 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, could offer direction for personalizing cancer treatments and development of new therapies...

McKayla Maroney Vault: Less-Than-Perfect Score Doesn't Stifle Event Greatness
If you had the honor of watching the United States women’s gymnastics team win their first gold medal since the 1996 Olympics on Tuesday, you likely saw the greatest vault in Olympic history from McKayla Maroney.
The problem was it didn’t even get a perfect score, and that is the biggest travesty of the 2012 Summer Olympics so far.
The case can be made that in all the years of gymnastics at the Olympics, there has never been a vault more perfectly executed from start to finish than the one Team USA’s star vaulter Maroney pulled in Day 4.
Despite the amazement on the faces of the judges at the height of the jump and the perfection of the landing, they somehow denied the young American the glory of perfection.
While there is no doubt that the other women on Team USA helped earn that gold medal, the performance by vault ace Maroney stole the show. Vault was not Team USA's best event, and they brought Maroney to London to be the team's saving grace in that event.
Team USA set the table for Maroney's success, and she jumped over it with authority!
To explain the vault and how it works, Bleacher Report’s own Emily Bayci explains exactly how dangerous the event is and what it consists of:
All the Americans can hit Amanars, which are considered the most difficult and dangerous vaults in the world. It consists of a round-off onto the board, then a back handspring onto the table and 2.5 twisting somersaults before the landing. Its start value is a 6.5, which is more than .5 points better than the other gymnasts.
On paper, the explanation doesn’t do the difficulty of the event justice.
Maroney achieved height off the table never seen before in the women’s division and followed it up with perfect execution and a landing to use as a teaching tool.
If there was ever perfection in the vault, this was it.
While the judges got the score wrong, fans of the sport know just how incredible what Maroney did for Team USA was.
For all the skeptics unsure of bringing a one-event ace to the Olympics, the gold medals have answered the questions emphatically.

Facebook working on 'save-for-later' feature, lets you like things privately
Ever wanted to flag a Facebook post for the future -- one you wouldn't want to be seen "liking" in the present? Well, the heads at Palo Alto are testing a way to make that happen: a save-for-later feature that'll allow you to add posts to a private feed. Saving is conducted on the sly, so you can create a slimmed-down stalking experience without alerting the posters. If you're prone to using the desktop version of the site, the option should appear alongside the familiar "Like", "Comment" and "Share" soon. A similar change should be available on the mobile site, with a press-and-hold mechanic doing the job in the apps for iDevices. There's no word on other platforms at the moment, but we'd be surprised if the update is confined to browser and iOS users. We know you're keen to start hoarding those embarrassing drunken status updates, so hopefully the update will be rolling out shortly.
