Women who underwent chest radiation therapy for a childhood cancer have a significantly higher risk for developing breast cancer at a younger age. About 20,000 to 25,000 women 25 and older in the U.S. have received chest radiation for a childhood cancer, according to background information in the journal report. For the past decade, experts have recommended yearly screening mammograms for women who received moderate- to high-dose chest radiation beginning either at age 25 or eight years after the treatment, whichever occurs last.The researchers compared the women's responses to similarly aged childhood cancer survivors who did not receive chest radiation, and siblings with no history of childhood cancer.

it was about how woman are now having way higher risks having breast cancer than ever before. Radiation in the breast are or we be diagnosed with it by the age 45. Now researchers are comparing age childhood survivors who did not recieve chest radiation and ones that never had it

I would interview the doctors that are working on this. Ask if they have found any leadings of how or why is it appering more now than ever. If its possible to prevent this . And if they found a way to reduce woman having breast cancer

DNA that make us human that our genes that may determine whether you are sociable or shy.A new study comparing the two types of twins shows that genetics might affect social behavior, and the scientists who made the discovery say they are closing in on some of those "personality" genes.Their latest study looked at national data on the social networks of 1,100 twins, some identical and others fraternal. They found greater similarity between the social networks of identical twins, who share the exact same genes, than those of fraternal twins, whose genes might vary slightly.

In this article i had found that their could be a reason why we are who we are. Why we are shy or if were popular. So far a scientist had found that are genes are the answers why were like that. Hes bieng researching and expirimenting with a lot of twins and found some complications and solutions to what are DNA hides.

I would interview the scientist of how he was able to find about our dna relating to our popularity. And how is this going to affacet us or our future kids. And if theres a way to change this.

Economies may rise and fall every few decades or so, but at least the hard work we've put into global warming is "irreversible" on the human time scale.
That's according to research from a team of US environmental scientists published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The report claims that even if all carbon emissions could somehow be halted, the CO2 changes to Earth's surface temperature, rainfall, and sea levels will keep on truckin' for at least a millennium.The scientists say the oceans are currently absorbing much of the planet's excess heat, but that heat will eventually be released back into the air over the course of many hundreds of years.The authors claim to have relied on many different climate models to support their results. They said they focused on drying of particular regions and thermal expansion of the ocean because observations suggesting humans are contributing to climate change have already been measured.

I read about how even if we go green. We have no chance to reverse global warming. Even the scientist have found and have models to prove that were doing is not helping.

I would interview the scientist ans talk about how were still not able to change our world to avoid global warming. I would have them to explain how there models conclude that were to late to avoid global warming. And ask if were going to have sever weathers and if its going to affect or economy in the future.

Couple in Wilmington murder-suicide fired for alleged fraud

In this article it talks about a small family in Wilmington were both Father and Mother had lost there jobs. He had killed is whole family from the 5 children to his wife.They were released from the job because the family had falsified there income records so that their children would be in a care program, said Diana Bonta.Right after the bodies were found the police looked for what had triggered Mr. Lupoe and as they investigated they found that they were behind on there morgage.

in my opinion i feel really hurt for the family that had to go through the suffering of their father killing them.it puts me in shock to know that their are still families that have to live in fear of what the economy is doing to us.

i would like to interview the source that knew the most about it. i would like to ask him what exactly went on while he found out about his family.
