According to the studies that Hayes and his co-author, Dr. Nehmat Houssami, analyzed, such mastectomies are often unnecessary; earlier studies have shown that many of the small cancers that a lumpectomy may leave behind are in the same region as the surgery site, and therefore will most likely be destroyed by the radiation treatment that follows. "Radiation is very good," says Dr. Larry Norton, a breast-cancer specialist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. "We do know that if you don't irradiate a breast after surgery, you get local recurrence." (Read "The Year...
...goes both ways too. Going back to Fred Hoyle, the guy behind the theory that competed with The Big Bang, he and his colleagues partly built their idea around a popular film at the time, Dead of Night, which was a horror movie where the last scene was the same as the first scene; it never actually had a beginning or end. They all saw this movie and said, "Yes, that's exactly what we're thinking of - a universe that goes around in a cycle that never has a beginning...
...your favorites? One of my favorite patterns that I think you can see in the Arctic explorers in the 1800s and early 1900s was a very dignified approach to everything they did, even in dying.

More parents are also controlling the purse strings and moving down-market for pants and shoes. Nearly 45% more consumers say they will shop at Wal-Mart for back-to-school items this year, according to Beemer's survey, and Sears picked up 33.3% more shoppers. "A lot of moms and dads...
...really couldn’t find any faults with my Angels experience. Sure, the random rock fountain behind the left center field wall was a let down and the rally monkey is annoying. But those reasons do little to negate the fact that the Angels are a terrific team to watch. And continuing my “Angels-now-equate-to-the-Braves-of-the-’90s” analogy from the earlier post, Mike Scioscia, the manager of the Angels, is a seasoned coach not unlike the Braves’ Bobby Cox. I feel confident rooting...
