...More than 80% of U.S. women have an annual Pap test, but fewer than 20% are screened for chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that, left untreated, can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and reproductive complications. Now the FDA has approved a popular Pap test, ThinPrep, to screen for both cervical cancer and chlamydia, the most common bacterial STD in the U.S. today. --By David Bjerklie...
...worry about taking advantage of the policy has been overblown, Tremitiere said. “Having known people who this has affected, the risk of people faking it doesn’t even appear on my radar screen,” he said. “Its a drop in the bucket for the University while on the other hand this has hurt real people’s lives...

He defied time by dancing in slow motion in "Easter Parade," defied gravity by dancing up walls and across ceilings in "Royal Wedding," defied age by hoofing serenely through his sixth, seventh and eighth decades.
