 Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the
United States, other than skin cancer. It is the second
leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.
About 182,460 women in the United States will be found to
have invasive breast cancer in 2008. About 40,480 women will die
from the disease this year. Right now there are about two and a
half million breast cancer survivors in the United States.
The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some
time during her life is about 1 in 8. The chance of dying from
breast cancer is about 1 in 35. Breast cancer death rates are
going down. This is probably the result of finding the cancer
earlier and improved treatment. |

the Word Nevada Kids to Kids is a
children's literacy project sponsored by

The flagship program of Kids to Kids
distributes books in elementary schools

Young children who own books will read
them over and over again, memorizing the
stories and learning to follow and
identify the words on each page. Kids
to Kids puts books into the homes of
youngsters and gives them the
opportunity to develop their own
personal library collections for use at
home. These books are kept and
treasured. |

Thank
you for your latest round of letters advocating against
any spending reductions whatsoever in the budget of the
Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE). I continue to
be perplexed by your apparent attitude that the economic
downturn is being relished and is seen as a long-awaited
opportunity to slash budgets. |

Politically Speaking |

Johnathan L. Abbinett
The Beginning of “The End”
Insanity is generally, that is to say
commonly, defined as “Doing the same thing, over and
over, but, expecting a different result!” It’s one
thing to make a stupid mistake – it’s very much another
thing to be stupid and stubborn and insist on making the
same mistake a second time. The third time we repeat
that mistake, then, we’ve gone beyond just stupid or
stupid and stubborn – it is just “NUTS” – as in, “CRAZY”
– as in, “INSANE!”...... |

'No,' the second man replied, 'it's Thursday.' And the
