American Cancer Society, in a Shift, Recommends Fewer Mammograms
The group says women should start having mammograms at 45 and continue yearly until 54; it previously recommended mammograms and clinical breast exams every year, starting at 40.The American Cancer Society has performed its function by finding a new minimum in the breast cancer risk for women.
They should push ultrasound examination in place of X rays.
The change is a decade away.

The Upshot
A Disadvantaged Start Hurts Boys More Than Girls
Poverty and related problems hurt all children in things like school readiness, but a study finds boys are more sensitive to such factors.Excellent observations.
I am doubtful of the form of the intermediate conclusions.
Sex linkages are cultural along with the physiological burdens.
The corrective actions are probably appropriate though not comprehensive.

Pier 40 to Be Saved Under Plan to Build 1,500 Apartments in West Village
The proposal, involving a $100 million sale of air rights, would preserve popular but deteriorating playing fields by the Hudson River and provide low- and middle-income housing.The suggested price to the city is excessive.
The benefit to the developer is great. The benefit to the city's culture is negative.
Put the low income housing in Jersey City and improve the rail link.
Though Chris Christi will hate it that is just a bonus.

The Miracle Breast Milk Elixir
Breast-feeding is a dazzlingly low-tech solution that saves children’s lives."“I’ll breast-feed the baby tomorrow, or the next day,” she said, explaining that she was following the guidance of the traditional birth attendant who had helped her deliver the baby and cut the cord. This is common: Worldwide, only 43 percent of babies are put to the breast within an hour of birth, as recommended by the World Health Organization."

The referee Craig Joubert wrongly awarded Australia a penalty that proved decisive in the team’s 35-34 Rugby World Cup quarterfinal victory over Scotland.The referee, Craig Joubert, is correct by definition.

Paying for Egg Donations
The current payment system favors the fertility clinics and shortchanges the donors.For some it is child trafficking.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trafficking_of_children
If my concerns were as elastic as some it would be abortion.
I am going to place the matter in the gray area and deal with it only if I must.
There is a willing buyer and a willing seller.
Agents earn their commissions.
Eggs are not sentient.

Study Points to Benefits of Knee Replacement Surgery Over Therapy Alone
Researchers tested osteoarthritis patients who received knee replacement operations followed by therapy, comparing them with a group who had only nonsurgical treatment.There is nothing sacred about organic.
There have been mechanical problems.
