Sandra Day O’Connor, the retired Supreme Court justice appointed by a Republican president, said on Wednesday that President Barack Obama should get to name the replacement for the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
O’Connor, in an interview with a Fox affiliate in Phoenix, disagreed with Republican arguments that the next president, and not Obama, should get to fill the high court vacancy.
“I think we need somebody there to do the job now and let’s get on with it,” said O’Connor, the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court.
O’Connor, 85, agreed it’s unusual for a Supreme Court vacancy to open in an election year, which “creates much talk around the thing that isn’t necessary.”

Oncologists may have a new way to kill cancer — by bombing the crap out of your insides.
The current procedure goes like this: Oncologists surgically remove as much of a tumor as possible, then follow up that procedure with chemotherapy to get rid of any cancer cells still hanging out in the body. which can still metastasize and kill you. The problem, though, is that trying to eliminate the leftovers doesn’t always work, and cancer can recur.
A paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology details an answer to that problem. Researchers from Rice University in Texas found that they could use nanoparticles sort of like Trojan horses to get inside a growing tumor and make it explode from the inside.

Can pot give you cancer? The answer to that question is a resounding “maybe.” Intuition says a substance that potentially causes cancer shouldn’t be prescribed to cancer patients as part of their treatment, as medical marijuana sometimes is. The risk seems to vary depending on how a person ingests weed.
We know that smoking cigarettes causes cancer, which is why research on the connection between cannabis and cancer has focused on the effects of smoking marijuana. Yet the findings have so far proved inconclusive, in part b that the data to support it (or to disprove it) does not yet exist.
But, as with all things substance-related, it’s best to err on the side of caution if cancer is your concern.

The 1980s pop star and model Denise Matthews, known by the stage name Vanity, died Monday at the age of 57. She battled years of kidney failure and a recent abdominal illness, according to TMZ.
Native to Canada, Matthews first found success as a model, but a fateful meeting at the American Music Awards in 1980 would help launch a singing career. Prince recruited the 21-year-old to become the lead singer of the R&B girl group Vanity 6, whose biggest hit was 1982’s “Nasty Girl.” Vanity 6 toured with Prince in ’82 and ’83, before splitting up. Vanity then released two solo albums via Motown Records, 1984’s “Wild Animal” and 1986’s “Skin on Skin.”
Vanity began work on a third solo album that did not come to fruition. She starred in the 1986 B-movie “Never Too Young to Die” and the 1988 action film “Action Jackson,” for which she contributed to the soundtrack. But as Vanity’s music career waned in the late ’80s, she developed a crack-cocaine addiction. As a result, she nearly overdosed in 1994 and suffered near-fatal kidney damage. Matthews then converted to Christianity, abandoned her stage name and became an evangelist.

President Barack Obama will not rush through a Supreme Court choice to replace Justice Antonin Scalia this week but will wait to nominate a candidate until the U.S. Senate is back in session, the White House said on Sunday.
“Given that the Senate is currently in recess, we don’t expect the president to rush this through this week, but instead will do so in due time once the Senate returns from their recess,” White House spokesman Eric Schultz said.
“At that point, we expect the Senate to consider that nominee, consistent with their responsibilities laid out in the United States Constitution,” he said.
Obama is traveling in California and returns to Washington on Tuesday. The Senate returns from recess on Feb. 22.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the bench’s ideological conservative known for his fiery comments in and out of the courtroom, has died. He was 79.
Scalia was “a brilliant legal mind with a pugnacious style, incisive wit, and colorful opinions,” President Barack Obama said Saturday night. “He will no doubt be remembered as one of the most consequential judges and thinkers to serve on the Supreme Court.”
Scalia was found dead at a Texas ranch on Saturday morning when he did not appear for breakfast, the U.S. Marshals Service in Washington told The Associated Press.

A brutal polar vortex sent temperatures plummeting to “life-threatening” lows across the Midwest and Northeast on Saturday, with millions of Americans warned of frostbite and other dangers.
The coldest air mass of the winter brought the thermometer down to minus 6 degrees overnight in Minneapolis, while New Yorkers were urged to take “extreme precautions” against wind chill.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio urged residents to check on vulnerable friends, relatives and neighbors.

A deal to establish a central unified government in Libya may be reached by early next week, paving the way for the country to ask the U.S. and other international powers to act against the so-called Islamic State’s presence there, according to a top official from the country hosting the Libyan peace talks.
Mbarka Bouaida, Morocco’s minister-delegate for foreign affairs, made the prediction in an exclusive interview this week with The Huffington Post.
“We try as much as we can, as far as we can as Moroccans, to make a deal between them to find a solution,” Bouaida said Wednesday. “We’re still optimistic on this point. We think we can find a good deal, and they can maybe by the end of this week or early next week, find a solution to fix their government.”

Few things in life are as mystical and intriguing as the phenomenon of female multiple orgasms. The lucky women who claim to have them say they are capable of turning otherwise blah sex into a blissful slice of euphoria, and the women who don’t have them want to know the secret to unlocking their magic. Lots of men who sleep with women are similarly preoccupied with mastering the technique for their partners.
But how many IRL women are actually having in the bedroom? And how can other women learn to do the same?
We may finally have some answers, thanks to a fresh batch of data sent to Mic from OMGYES, an organization which describes itself as “a touchable, online exploration of women’s pleasure.”
