[music] >> What's up, sunshine?
One of you helped us write today's show with a vocabulary word you submitted.
So, listen close to see if you sent the winner.
And happy October Eve.
I'm Coy Wire.
This is CNN 10, your news for Wednesday, September 30th.
10 minutes, big world.
Let's get smarter and rise up.
We begin with a blood test that could eventually change how doctors look for cancer.
An FDA advisory panel has backed the Galleri blood test designed to detect signals linked to more than 50 types of cancer from one blood draw.
But, there are limits to this test.
Our chief medical correspondent, Dr.
Sanjay Gupta, wanted to understand what this test can do and what it can't.
His investigation got personal because he tried it himself.
>> You automatically see this bright lump right here.
Kind of lighting up like a light bulb.
This tumor was sitting there, not causing a problem.
And what's funny is when I met my thoracic surgeon for the first time, he walked in, he shook my hand, and he said, "You might be the luckiest unlucky person." Unlucky because I had the positive result, but lucky, he said, he never sees tumors this small.
>> Katrina Fairleigh and I have been friends for years.
She credits her luck to a blood test that aims to catch cancer at its earliest stages.
They're known as liquid biopsies, multi-cancer early detection test that can identify 50-plus cancers [music] by searching for DNA fragments of the disease in your blood.
>> I didn't have to live through any cancer crisis.
I was able to intercept that crisis.
>> Many doctors do preach the gospel of early screening, and the number sort of bear this out.
Between 1975 and 2020, there were almost 5 million cancer deaths that were averted due to routine prevention and standard screenings.
The problem is this, most diagnosed cancers do not have a recommended screening test.
As a result, many of those cancers are caught later and they're harder to treat.
>> You're friend, you're a fellow neurosurgeon as well.
We're the same age.
Should I get this test, do you think?
>> Do you like the idea of catching cancer early?
>> I do like the idea of catching cancer early, but at the same time I'm still not sure that I really need to be doing a test like this.
And here's why.
These tests have what's known as a high positive predictive value.
If it comes back positive, I likely have some form of cancer.
>> [music] >> But at the same time, if it comes back negative, I'm not really that confident that I don't have cancer.
>> After doing this for over 5 years and almost 10,000 lymph biopsies, >> less than a dozen cancers detected.
>> So it's not picking up as many [music] cancers as you would like.
>> 100% it's not picking up cancers.
>> Dr.
Vershalee Shukla runs a cancer screening program for first responders in Arizona.
Now, they are often younger than the 50-year and older population that these tests are designed for, but studies also suggest firefighters have higher rates of cancers because of their jobs.
>> We went out in 1 week, we [music] drew 500 firefighters.
We did all of their blood and not one came back positive.
And no one wants to come in to get their cancer screenings because everyone had this sense of security.
>> I think what the picture you're painting is someone goes, gets the Grail test, comes back negative and they think, "Hey, I'm I'm good to go.
I don't need to get the colonoscopy or the additional screening test." >> It took a lot of work on our part over the next 18 [music] months to 2 years to get all those members to come in and get their colonoscopies or whole body MRIs.
We ended up diagnosing another 14, 15 cancers.
>> It's a lot to mentally wrestle with as I take my own test.
A negative finding does not mean I'm in the clear.
It also doesn't mean that I should skip my routine cancer screenings.
Even the test makers say that.
And importantly, we don't yet have the studies to prove whether or not these tests save lives.
That will need a lot more people and a lot more time.
But then, there is the story of Katrina.
>> In my case, the benefit was that I needed the most minimal treatment.
I found it at the earliest stage.
>> It's been pretty nerve-wracking these past few weeks waiting for these results.
I mean, here's the thing.
There are over 600 FDA-approved cancer treatments.
We can't take advantage of them if we don't know that we have cancer and find those cancers early enough.
In my case, came back negative.
No cancer signal detected.
>> Now to a high-profile hack that's raising eyebrows at the FBI.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation says it's looking into an apparent breach of its networks after a prolific cybercriminal group called Shiny Hunters stole personal information belonging to thousands of FBI employees.
The incident forced the FBI to shut down the employment opportunities page on its main website as it investigated the extent of the hack.
Shiny Hunters says it was, quote, offended by a recent public advisory posted by the bureau.
It analyzed the group's alleged tactics for extorting major companies across tech, health care, finance, and other industries by often stealing millions of their customer records.
Shiny Hunters says the hack was not financially motivated and demanded the FBI change or remove the advisory.
Pop quiz, hotshot.
What is the fewest number of moves needed to deliver checkmate in a standard game of chess?
Two, four, six, or eight?
If you said two, checkmate.
The fastest possible finish is called fool's mate.
Only black can pull this off on its second move if white makes two severe blunders or what some of us wood pushers might call a rookie move.
Now to an incredible feat from the world of chess for you to ponder.
Last year we introduced you to British chess prodigy Bodhana Sivanandan who became the youngest female player ever to defeat a grandmaster.
Well, she just made history again.
Last weekend at just 11 years old, Bodhana has completed the requirements to become youngest woman grandmaster ever sealing the achievement while representing England at the 46th Chess Olympiad.
Bodhana first picked up chess at just 5 years old after a family friend gave them a chess set during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Somehow her meteoric rise happened all while being a full-time student.
She says chess actually brings together some of the subjects she loves most.
>> links to so many school subjects like maths it helps in calculation and music it helps in pattern recognition and I play the violin and I play a bit of piano and in art it helps with creativity so it links with that.
>> 11 years old still making history still doing homework that's what I call being several moves ahead.
Next up they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery sometimes it gets you sued.
Crocs is taking discount retailer 5 Below to court.
Crocs and its Jibbitz subsidiary accused the discount retailer of selling shoes and decorative charm that copy protected Crocs designs.
Crocs says it warned 5 Below back in March but alleges the products kept being sold.
Crocs is asking for a jury trial, unspecified damages and an injunction stopping sales of the products.
The parties involved have not yet responded to media requests for comment about this kerfuffle.
Crocs topped $1 billion in sales for the first time last quarter.
Its sales rose 12%.
Today's story getting a 10 out of 10 is for everybody out there whose dance moves look a little flockward.
Apparently, cockatoos can get down.
You've probably seen videos of these birds bopping, bopping, shaking their tail feathers packed ocular.
Researchers at Charles Sturt University in Australia say these unbirdlievable crunk cockatoo moves show signs of high intelligence.
Our Shannon Hodge has more.
>> They definitely don't have two left feet.
Social media is filled with videos of cockatoos busting a move.
New research shows these clever birds actually have dozens of dance moves including several newly identified ones.
Researchers studied 45 videos they found through social media sites showing cockatoos cutting rug.
The results published in the open access journal PLoS One show cockatoos have at least 30 distinct moves.
17 of which had not previously been described scientifically.
This includes headbanging, sidesteps, and body rolls.
Some even come up with their own unique ways to get [music] down often combining several movements.
Dancing in time to music has only been reported in humans and captive parrots.
But some birds in the wild have been known to show off repeated movements during courtship.
Cockatoos, which are part of the parrot family, are known to dance to music in captivity.
But researchers say their motivation remains unclear.
>> So, next time you're on the dance floor thinking, "I have no idea what I'm doing." take inspiration from the birds.
Bob the head, shake the tail feathers, and commit because [clears throat] confidence can turn awkward into awesome.
Congrats to our Your Word Wednesday winners, Miss Thaw, Mrs.
Wolf, and Mr.
Subarats, Strongsville High School in Ohio for submitting kerfuffle, a noun meaning a disturbance or commotion typically caused by a dispute or conflict.
Hats off to you, my friends.
Thank you for sending this, making us a little smarter today, too.
And we have a shout-out today going to Mr.
B at Owyhee High School in Meridian, Ohio.
Congratulations on being named teacher of the month.
Mr.
B says his students are the reason, so his award is their award, too.
And the class even sent us a joke.
What do nosy peppers do?
It gets jalapeño business.
Rise up.
That's our 10.
Keep learning, keep grinding, keep shining.
See you tomorrow, sunshine.
