Police praise pregnant woman in Craigslist attack

In Longmont, Colorado, a police officer received a call from a pregnant woman who was stabbed and had her fetus ripped out. Michelle Wilkins was hesitant and in shock when police arrived, but was able to announce that she had responded to a Craigslist ad and had been attacked. At the moment, she didn't know that she had lost her child but was to able to communicate the events which happened to save her own life. The horrifying cutting of the fetus from Michelle Wilkins began when she replied to a Craigslist ad about baby clothes for sale. Police officers at the scene had to take a moment to collect themselves because it was almost too much to bear.  Dynel Lane, 34, is being held on $2 million bail while prosecutors consider charges against her, including murder. She is accused of stabbing Wilkins and removing a female fetus. The murder charge would reportedly rely on whether the fetus was old enough to have lived outside of her mother's body. The fetus of 26 year old Michelle Wilkins died, but the survived and is the one who "saved her own life." She is reported to be in critical but secure condition.

A scientific tale of two dresses

There is a scientific explanation to why people are seeing two different colors of the now- famous dress. The tiny cones in the back of our eyeballs allow us to recognize colors in a different way depending upon our genes.  Our retinas, the fine layer of nerve tissue that lines the back of our eyes, notice the blue, green, and red in an image. Our brain and the cones mix those colors to make other colors. The top section of the dress is gold to some people, but black to others. A doctor states that the most common color confusions we see are blue and yellow. One theory has to do with evolutionary biology. It is often essential to factor out colors in the light around an object that may give it a different and confusing complexion. Some doctors think that this dress could possibly help advance medical science and hopefully help people with vision problems.
