I haven't done one of these in a while, so here is some linkiness for a Saturday:
Conservation begins at home. Of the top five industrialized CO2-emitting nations, citizens of the US can do the most on their own to reduce global warming. Translation: What you do DOES matter, whether it's turning your thermostat down or replacing all your light bulbs for compact fluorescents. Plus also? Massive money savings. It's more than a personal virtue, folks.
Which brings me to the latest TNH poll: How important is energy conservation to your family?
New diagnostic technique may improve breast cancer detection: "In a small study of 80 women, the technique — called 'elastography' — distinguished harmless lumps from malignant ones with nearly 100 percent accuracy." Best of all, it's a non-invasive technique--no painful biopsies with long waiting periods for results. The researchers need to look at a larger study group than 80, but here's crossing our fingers; this could save a lot of women a lot of pain, and lead to instant diagnoses of malignancies. Every day saved is life saved when it comes to cancer.
