Iran closing House of Cinema film center

(AP) ? Iran's Culture Minister says the government has ordered the closing the independent Iranian House of Cinema. Artists say political reasons are behind the decision.

Mohammed Hosseini says his ministry determined that the film promotion institute lacked a legal basis for operations. His comments were reported by the official IRNA news agency Wednesday.

The Iranian House of Cinema is an independent body that has operated for 20 years. Recently it threatened to boycott the state-organized annual Fajr International Film Festival, Iran's most important cinematic event, over threats to close the House, charging the campaign against the center is politically motivated.

Hard-liners have repeatedly criticized the House for adopting liberal stands contrary to government cultural policies.

Jordan: Israelis, Palestinians to resume dialogue (AP)

AMMAN, Jordan ? The first meeting between Israeli and Palestinian peace negotiators in more than a year ended without any significant breakthroughs on Tuesday, but in a small sign of progress, the sides agreed to continue the dialogue, officials said.

Resumption of any kind of contacts would be an important achievement, though Israel and the Palestinians remain far from agreement on key issues to resolve their decades-long conflict.

The 15-month breakdown in negotiations has seen a progressive souring of the atmosphere, and earlier Tuesday, the Palestinian president had warned of taking tough measures against Israel if talks don't resume by Jan. 26.

Jordan's foreign minister, Nasser Judeh, who hosted Tuesday's gathering in the Jordanian capital Amman, expressed some hope. "The important thing is the two sides have met face to face today," he said.

While acknowledging there were no breakthroughs in "substance," he praised the positive atmosphere and said sides had agreed to hold further talks, some in secret.

"We agreed that the discussions will be continuous, that the meetings will continue and will take place here in Jordan. And we also agreed that we should not publicize about these meetings ahead of time, except through the Jordanian host, and I tell you that you may hear about it or you may not hear about it," he said.

The announcement drew praise. At the United Nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon encouraged the parties "to build on this meeting and to continue working to establish forward momentum toward a lasting peace."

In Washington, White House spokesman welcomed the "positive development." He said President Barack Obama would work with leaders in the region and do "everything he can to bring them together at the table."

The last round of peace talks broke down in September 2010 over the issue of construction in Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war and claimed by the Palestinians for their state.

The Palestinians demand a halt to settlement construction and say they will not resume formal negotiations while Israel continues to build in the two areas. They also say Israel must commit to withdrawing to its 1967 prewar lines as the basis of a future border. Israel says talks should resume without preconditions. The international community has endorsed those Palestinian positions.

Tuesday's meeting was held under the auspices of the "Quartet" of Mideast mediators. The Quartet, consisting of the U.S., European Union, Russia and the United Nations, hopes to broker a final peace agreement by the end of 2012. Judeh said the international community remained committed to that timeline.

During Tuesday's meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's envoy, Yitzhak Molcho, held several sessions with his Palestinian counterpart, Saeb Erekat. The pair met with the international diplomats and held a separate working meeting of their own.

Judeh said the Palestinians presented their proposals for future border and security arrangements, and Molcho promised to submit an Israeli response soon. There were no firm dates on when that would happen, or when additional talks would take place.

The Israeli and Palestinian teams declined comment, referring reporters to Judeh's statements.

In September, the Quartet set out a four-month target for the sides to present proposals on the key issues of borders and security arrangements. The Palestinians believe the timeline expires on Jan. 26. Israel says the clock doesn't start ticking until negotiations are under way.

Ahead of the meeting, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas had threatened to take "harsh" measures against Israel if it doesn't accept his conditions for restarting negotiations.

Palestinian officials have said they are considering resuming their push for U.N. membership as well as ways to isolate Israel at the United Nations, such as a new resolution condemning Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

The Palestinians asked the U.N. Security Council last September to admit them as a full member state in the U.N., but the U.N. bid failed to gain enough support in the 15-member council. The Palestinians have said as an alternative, they will seek enhanced observer status at the U.N.

Israel strongly opposes these efforts at the U.N., saying a Palestinian state can be created only through negotiations.

The meeting came as Abbas is trying to reconcile with the militant Hamas group, which seized control of the Gaza Strip from forces loyal to Abbas in 2007. Israel has warned it will not negotiate with a Palestinian government that includes Hamas, which it considers a terrorist group. Hamas, which is committed to Israel's destruction, called on Abbas to call off Tuesday's meeting.

In Gaza, a Hamas leader, Ismail al-Ashqar, called the talks "a very big disappointment."

"If these negotiations continue, this will totally blow up the Palestinian reconciliation," he said.

Jordan's King Abdullah II has implored Israel and Palestinians to resume peace talks. Abdullah is worried about the growing influence of Islamic groups in the Middle East and fears that continued deadlock in peace efforts could strengthen radicals. Jordan borders the West Bank and itself is home to a large community of Palestinians.

Study: Indoor Tanning Linked With Early Onset of Skin Cancer (Time.com)

Given that indoor tanning beds were officially classified as a human carcinogen in 2009 -- up there with cigarettes and asbestos -- it should be fairly obvious that frequent tanning-booth exposure would increase your risk of skin cancer.

Indeed, the evidence linking indoor tanning with melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma, one of the more common forms of the disease, is "convincing," according to the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer. But the research concerning tanning beds and basal cell carcinoma, the third and most frequent major type of skin cancer -- which accounts for some 80% of all skin cancer cases in the U.S. -- has thus far been inconsistent. (See pictures of a photographer's intimate account of her mother's cancer ordeal.)

Basal cell carcinoma, a slow-growing cancer, has traditionally been a disease of middle age. But it's been appearing with increasing frequency in people under 40, especially in women -- a demographic that also happens to like indoor tanning -- suggesting a link. So researchers at the Yale School of Public Health sought to study the association.

The study included 376 people under 40, who had been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma between 2006 and 2010. They were matched with a control group of 390 dermatology patients who were diagnosed with minor skin conditions like cysts and warts. All participants had skin biopsies, and all were drawn from a Yale University database.

The researchers interviewed each participant about their UV exposure -- both in tanning beds and outdoors. They also asked about their history of sunburns, sunscreen use, family history of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers, and their self-reported eye, skin and hair color.

The conclusion: people who had ever used a tanning booth were 69% more likely to develop early-onset basal cell carcinoma than never tanners. Those who used tanning booths more regularly -- for at least six years -- were more than twice a likely to develop basal cell carcinoma, compared with never tanners.

The study found that women were far more devoted than men to indoor tanning, which might help explain why 70% of all early onset basal cell carcinomas occur in females. The authors concluded that about 27% of cases of early onset disease -- including 43% of cases in women -- could be prevented if people simply stopped using tanning booths.

That's a tall order, considering that some 30 million Americans use indoor tanning beds each year. Policy changes, such as the recent California ban on teen tanning, may help, the authors suggest. So would behavioral interventions aimed at women -- at least one study in 2010 found that the best way to get young women to tan less was to warn them about the skin-wrinkling effects of tanning-bed exposure, not the risk of skin cancer.

"Importantly, indoor tanning is a behavior that individuals can change. In conjunction with the findings on melanoma, our results for [basal cell carcinoma] indicate that reducing indoor tanning could translate to a meaningful reduction in the incidence of these two types of skin cancer," said Leah M. Ferrucci, first author of the paper and a postdoctoral fellow at the Yale School of Public Health, in a statement.
