1. Cuba is choosing a new president this weekend. Is the resignation of 81-year-old Fidel Castro good news, bad news or no news?
2. Researchers say women who live in neighborhoods with lots of nighttime illumination are more likely to get breast cancer. The Israeli researchers overlaid satellite images of the Earth onto cancer registries and their findings suggest that too much light at night interferes with the body's production of a tumor-suppressing hormone. Is this good news, bad news or no news?
3. Researchers in New York say they've created a paper-thin material that absorbs 99.955 percent of the light that hits it, making it by far the darkest substance ever made. Look very, very closely and tell me whether this is good news, bad news or no news?
