Breast Self-Awareness...Your Breast Care: Helpful Hints for Women

Except for skin cancers, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, but it can be successfully treated. Screening tests can find cancer early, when it's most treatable.

1. Know your risk

• Talk to your family to learn about your family health history

2. Get screened

• Ask your doctor which screening tests are right for you if you are at a higher risk
• Have a mammogram every year starting at age 40 if you are at average risk
• Have a clinical breast exam at least every 3 years starting at age 20, and every year starting at age 40

3. Know what is normal for you
See your doctor if you notice any of these breast changes:

• Lump, hard knot or thickening inside the breast or underarm area
• Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening of the breast
• Change in the size or shape of the breast
• Dimpling or puckering of the skin
• Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple
• Pulling in of your nipple or other parts of the breast
• Nipple discharge that starts suddenly
• New pain in one spot that doesn't go away

4. Make healthy lifestyle choices

• Maintain a healthy weight
• Add exercise into your routine
• Limit alcohol intake
• Limit menopausal hormone use
• Breastfeed, if you can

Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi sentenced to four years in jail for tax fraud

Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been sentenced to 4 years in jail following a tax fraud trial, a news agency is reporting this afternoon.


An Italian court is set to deliver verdicts Friday against former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and 10 others in a six-year-old tax fraud trial.

Prosecutors have demanded a sentence of 3 years and eight months for Berlusconi and three years and four months for the chairman of his Mediaset conglomerate, Fedele Confalonieri.

The verdict comes two days after Berlusconi, 76, announced he will not run for premier in upcoming elections. The three-time premier stepped down last November after Italy came under mounting market pressure to deal with its high debt load and Berlusconi failed to come up with persuasive financial reforms.

Prosecutors allege the defendants were behind a scheme to purchase the rights to broadcast U.S. movies on Berlusconi's private television networks through a series of offshore companies and had falsely declared the payments to avoid taxes.

SHOCKING: (WARNING GRAPHIC PHOTOS)..Girl Suddenly Runs Mad And Starts Masturbating On The Streets!

There is this story all over the net about a girl who instantly went mad and started masturbating on the road after supposedly sleeping with a ritualist. Even though the veracity of such story can always be argued, the photo posted with the story sort of confirms that something of that nature happened. I cant confirm the name of the girl or when ,or where or exactly what happened, but I'm absolutely disturbed that people were standing there looking and taking pictures as if it's some kind of street entertainment. Is there no taskforce to whisk the girl to the nearest psychiatric hospital?
