...Well, one reason is that starting a cable channel is hard. She already tried it once with Oxygen, now owned by NBC, and home to many reality shows that feature Janice Dickinson or have names that smack of ratings desperation like The Naughty Kitchen and Bad Girls Club. OWN, says Oprah, will reflect her "vision, values and interests." (Which Oxygen never quite did.) (See the top 10 skanky reality shows...
...across the country - that a procedure that undeniably reduces the risk of breast cancer is no longer being recommended for millions of women. Another worry: will insurance begin denying coverage of breast-cancer screens in women under 50 who want them? The Obama Administration quickly disputed that notion, as well as the suggestion that the panel's advisory was a government strategy to cut costs by rationing health care. "The U.S. Preventive Task Force is an outside, independent panel of doctors and scientists who make recommendations," said Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius in a statement. "They...
Indeed, the mammogram is one of doctors' most powerful tools against breast cancer. There is a robust body of clinical-trial evidence showing that routine screening reduces breast-cancer deaths; the task force attests to that as well.

...musicians as successful as rap legend 50 Cent have ever been less innovative. Indeed, 50 has gained enormous and well-deserved fame by creating the archetypal song for many of hip-hop’s most fundamental clichés—in his 2003 masterpiece “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” alone, 50 brought the dance floor bump-n-grind to its apotheosis with “In Da Club,” painted the precise portrait of one of rap’s cardinal tropes with “P.I.M.P...
That is most likely to be the U.S. government's response as well. As part of her unannounced (but hardly secret) visit, Clinton had dinner and a long conversation with Karzai the night before the ceremony and was expected to have delivered strong words. En route to Kabul, she told reporters traveling with her that Karzai's government had started to tackle corruption, "but not nearly enough." Part of that reservation may have had something to do with Karzai's two Vice Presidents also being sworn in, Mohammad Qasim Fahim and Karim Khalili. Both have been accused by Afghan civil...
