South Korean truck drivers take a rest next to their trucks as they wait to enter the Kaesong industrial complex in North Korea at the South's Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) area, just south of the demilitarised zone separating the two Koreas, in Paju, north of Seoul, April 4, 2013. North Korea closed access to a joint factory zone with South Korea on Wednesday, officials said, putting at risk $2 billion a year in trade that is vital for an impoverished state with a huge army, nuclear ambitions and a hungry population.

FILE - In this Sept. 17, 2012 file photo, Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont. speaks in Billings, Mont. For years, American opinion on gay marriage has been shifting. Now Washington is tripping over itself trying to catch up. In less than two weeks, seven sitting senators _ all from moderate or Republican-leaning states _ announced their support, dropping one by one like dominos. Taken together, their proclamations reflected a profound change in the American political calculus: For the first time, elected officials from traditionally conservative states are starting to feel it's safer to back gay marriage than risk being the last to join the cause.

This undated photo provided by the family on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 shows Vicki Gilbert in Wiltshire, England. In 2010, Gilbert was diagnosed with breast cancer and then found she carries the mutated BRCA1 gene which may make her pre-disposed to ovarian cancer. Gilbert decided to have ovaries removed to prevent the potential onset of further cancer, and her breast cancer is in remission. A huge international effort involving more than 100 institutions and genetic tests on 200,000 people has uncovered dozens of signposts in DNA that can help reveal further a person’s risk for breast, ovarian or prostate cancer, scientists reported Wednesday, March 27, 2013. It’s the latest mega-collaboration to learn more about the intricate mechanisms that lead to cancer. (AP Photo)

John Dingell, D-Mich., right, and others, look on as President Barack Obama signs the health care bill in the East Room of the White House in Washington. Medical claims costs _ the biggest driver of health insurance premiums _ will jump an average 32 percent for individual policies under President Barack Obama’s overhaul, according to a study by the nation’s leading group of financial risk analysts. Recently released to its members, the report from the Society of Actuaries could turn into a big headache for the Obama administration at a time when many parts of the country remain skeptical about the Affordable Care Act.

FILE - This May 12, 2004 file photo shows German socialite Viola Drath during the annual Woodrow Wilson home garden party and hat contest in Washington. Drath's husband, Albrecht Muth, who is charged in his wife’s August 2011 death, has refused to eat. He’s now unable to sit or stand on his own and is at risk of death. The fasting promoted a judge this week to indefinitely postpone the trial, which was scheduled to start this coming Monday in D.C. Superior Court. A doctor said Muth was too weak to be brought to court and prosecutors and defense lawyers agreed that it wasn’t feasible for him to participate remotely from his hospital bed.
