| Georgia bans most late-terms abortions, assisted suicide Posted: ATLANTA (Reuters) - Georgia Governor Nathan Deal signed into law two pieces of legislation on Tuesday to restrict late-term abortions and outlaw assisted suicide in the state. The first law banned most abortions after 20 weeks' pregnancy, making Georgia the eighth U.S. state to outlaw most late-term abortions based on controversial research that a fetus can feel pain by that stage of development. Georgia already prohibits most abortions starting in the third trimester. The second law signed by Deal made it a felony to help people take their own lives. ... |
| Stricken Texas "bucket list" baby dies, father says Posted: (Reuters) - A Texas baby born with an incurable disease whose parents created an online "bucket list" for their daughter that became an Internet sensation has died, her father said on Tuesday. Michael Canahuati said in a blog posting that five-and-a-half-month-old Avery died on Monday afternoon after going into cardiac arrest. The little girl was born in November with spinal muscular atrophy, a rare genetic disorder that doctors predicted would kill her before she turned 2. ... |

Michael B. Selsor, 57, was the 18th person executed in the United States this year and the third person executed in Oklahoma in 2012. He was pronounced dead at 6:06 p.m. local time (1106 GMT) at the state prison in McAlester, Oklahoma, a prison spokesman said.

| Military advances probe of Colombia scandal Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An officer investigating the possible involvement of a dozen U.S. troops in a prostitution scandal in Colombia last month has finished gathering evidence and is working on a report of his findings and recommendations, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.

| Health centers for poor, uninsured see ranks swell Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Community health centers that cater to the poor and uninsured saw their patients' ranks swell by nearly 18 percent from 2008 to 2011 as job loss left more Americans without health insurance, the Obama administration said on Tuesday. A report released by the White House said 20 million Americans now receive healthcare services through 8,500 community health centers, up from 17 million four years ago. "Those numbers really took a big jump," Mary Wakefield, who heads the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, told reporters. ... |

| Connecticut to become 49th state to sell alcohol on Sunday Posted: HARTFORD, Conn (Reuters) - Connecticut took a major step toward becoming the 49th state to allow Sunday alcohol sales when the Senate voted on Tuesday to allow liquor stores to sell beer, wine and spirits any day of the week. Governor Dannel Malloy pledged to sign the bill that passed the Senate on a 28-6 vote following similar approval by the House.

| Brown University agrees to double payments to hometown Providence Posted: (Reuters) - Brown University agreed to nearly double its payments to Rhode Island's cash-strapped capital city, answering the Providence mayor's plea for help and staving off a municipal bankruptcy. With more than $1 billion of property in the city and a $2.5 billion endowment, Rhode Island's sixth-largest employer had come under pressure to increase its almost $4 million annual payments to its hometown city, most of which are 'voluntary contributions' because Brown is exempt from most property taxes as a non-profit. ... |

| U.S. Medicare to cover Edwards Sapien heart valve Posted: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Medicare and Medicaid federal health insurance programs will cover the non-invasive Sapien heart valve replacement system from Edwards Lifesciences Corp, U.S. regulators said on Tuesday. The Sapien system, which is threaded to the diseased heart through an incision in the groin or ribs via the femoral artery, is meant for patients deemed too sick to have heart valve replacement using more traditional open-heart surgery. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the Sapien valve, which is estimated to cost about $30,000, in November. The U.S. ... |
| Appeals court allows Texas to exclude Planned Parenthood Posted: AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - An appeals court ruled on Tuesday that the state of Texas can exclude Planned Parenthood from a state health program for low-income women because the organization performs abortions. The ruling by 5th U.S. Circuit Judge Jerry Smith reversed a lower court ruling Monday in favor of the family planning organization. The emergency ruling on Tuesday means the state is free - for now - to enforce a new rule banning Planned Parenthood from the Women's Health Program, Texas officials said. The court requested a response from Planned Parenthood by Tuesday afternoon. ... |

| Tornado hits small Oklahoma town, knocks out power Posted: OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - A tornado hit a small Oklahoma town on Monday, knocking out power to the community of 1,000 residents and damaging a farm just two weeks after a tornado elsewhere in the state killed at least six people, the National Weather Service said. No injuries were immediately reported in Monday night's twister in Medford, but much of northern Oklahoma was placed under tornado watch through the night, and flash flood warnings were issued due to heavy rains the past two days, said Forrest Mitchell of the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma. ... |
| Oklahoma man sentenced to death twice set to be executed Posted: OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - A convicted Oklahoma killer who was spared execution once but asked for a new trial and was sentenced to death a second time is set to be put to death on Tuesday. Michael B. Selsor was convicted of killing a Tulsa convenience store clerk in 1975. After he was sentenced to death, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1976 that Oklahoma's capital punishment law was unconstitutional and his sentence was modified to life in prison. ... |
