...every time recommendations are changed, or when respected medical organizations endorse conflicting guidelines on issues like screening, say experts, many patients opt out of the controversy altogether, preferring to forgo testing than wade through the confusing information and options presented to them. So, says Dr. George Sledge, president-elect of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and a professor of medicine at Indiana University's Simon Cancer Center, it's worth remembering that "the core issue is that screening mammography reduces breast-cancer mortality. And that is unchanged by this report...
...years since, lethal injection has become the standard method in the U.S., although other types of executions can still be carried out in some states. Prisoners in some jurisdictions can choose their method of execution, and the vast majority opt for lethal injection. In all, 936 out of the 1,107 U.S. prisoners executed since 1977 have died by the method, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.

So pointed and relentless were his arguments that at one hastily called Democratic leadership meeting, when a tardy Schumer's absence was remarked upon, Reid snapped, "He's probably out there talking about...
...party; many observers believe he would ultimately like to become majority leader. Part of his appeal is his uncanny sense of the political winds. Schumer crafted his compromise version of the public plan expressly to appeal to moderates, mainly by including a provision allowing individual states to opt out. His sales pitch is three-pronged. First, he says, studies have shown that government competition is the most effective means of keeping down costs. Second, polls show that most Americans want a public option; conveniently some have even begun surfacing in states like Nevada and Arkansas (Reid and Lincoln...
