{image_1}Early detection is the key to improving breast cancer survival rates, but mammography is not the ideal method to accomplish this goal. Medical experts agree.

{image_1}It is almost hard to believe that a number of the world’s most famous and significant oil producers somehow seek to channel their black gold in waterway lanes of just two miles (3.2 kilometers) wide. While the Strait of Hormuz is technically 21 miles (33.8 kilometers) wide at its narrowest point, its shipping region is something of a two-lane sea highway—with lanes two miles across in each direction and a two-mile buffer zone between.

{image_1}Earlier this year, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) purchased 2,000 Hummers from the US Army that were left behind with they withdrew from Iraq. They have low mileage and were purchased at less than one-third the standard price, according to a WorldTribune.com article. “The new vehicles, which will expand our fleet, will significantly improve our maneuvering ability during an emergency,” explained Maj. Amit Trep, head of the Department of Weapons Mobility. “This will be a giant leap forward.” They will arrive in Israel in stages at around 100 per month, according to the IDF’s Web site.
