...does not represent as monumental a shift as the USPSTF's new advice on mammography, since Pap testing of adolescents, while recommended, has not become as entrenched as mammography as a preventive tool. Still, both new sets of cancer screening guidelines exemplify an effort by leading medical organizations to base their advice on scientific data, rather than an assumption that more screening always leads to better prevention. "Physicians have a hard time letting go of screening tests that make them feel comfortable," says Dr. Karen Soren, director of adolescent medicine at New York Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital...

Neither the ACS nor the NCCN intends to modify its guidelines for yearly breast-cancer screening in all healthy women over...
...impressive number of cheap ingredients into a potent, dirty reddish-green witches’ brew. Composed largely of throwaways from other dished, it’s about as good as a soup can get.

Instead, the army has revived a nonaggression pact with Bahadur and with Maulvi Nazir - both of which use Pakistani soil as a base from which to wage war on NATO forces in Afghanistan. Pakistan...
...World Cup quarterfinals and propelled Argentina to the championship. Do we now want the Brits bitter that the Irish got their do-over, and they didn't? In 1985, umpire Don Denkinger cost the St. Louis Cardinals a World Series by blowing an obvious call at first base in the bottom of the ninth in Game 6. How did the Cardinal faithful respond to their unholy, unjust loss to their intra-state opponent, the Kansas City Royals? By continuing to be the nicest sports fans on the planet...
