Breast cancer typically strikes after the age of 50. But of the 200,000 women diagnosed every year, 11,000 are under 40–and their youth isn’t necessarily an advantage. A landmark study published last week by researchers at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that young women tend to be more negatively affected by a breast-cancer diagnosis, both physically and psychologically, than middle-aged or elderly women. For young single women, especially, the emotional effects can be excruciating....

The shooting set off rumors among Khallid’s followers and provoked a ripple of speculation that history might be repeating itself. The gunman, a well-dressed black man, was kicked and beaten by onlookers who shouted that he must be working ““for the Jews.’’ Rescued and arrested by university police, he was identified by police as James Edward Bess, 49, a defrocked Nation of Islam leader from Seattle, Wash. Bess, also known as James X and Brother James X, had a history of violence and a reputation for vitriolic rant....

Few people talk that way about Dunkin’ Donuts, the world’s largest doughnut chain. With nearly 5,000 shops in 37 countries, it generates 10 times the sales of Krispy Kreme, which rings up $238 million in revenues. Krispy’s sales rose 18 percent last year, compared with Dunkin’ Donuts’ 6 percent. And Krispy Kreme has ambitious expansion plans. It aims to open more than 500 new shops nationwide over the next seven years–an unappetizing prospect to the biggies, who worry that size and a big financial cushion might be no match for, well, what might best be described as a passion deKreme....

NEWSWEEK: Why does the December by-election deserve so much attention? It comes at a time when there’s more of a feeling among the community that things are going wrong.

Turkey now has a golden opportunity to finally reconcile with its Kurdish population and, ultimately, with itself. But each side needs to act. The PKK should end its armed struggle. Real peaceful overtures couldn’t have happened as long as Ocalan was in charge. He was never suited to the role of a peacemaker. Neither his extreme authoritarianism nor his cruel character left any place for conciliatory moves. He was a guerrilla commander, not a political leader....

A feeling of helplessness came over me in the doctor’s office. I had regained control of my life after the false accusation and here I was asking somebody else to tell me about my life, my body. Remembering that moment now, I think of God and his plan for me. I think of others, too, who sit in a state of absolute anxiety as they wait to hear from doctors what their fate will be....

Why a Pap Smear Exam Is Conducted A Pap smear is a test conducted in order to screen for cervical cancer. It is generally recommended that this test be done annually, though Pap smears are no longer required for women under the age of 21. If you’re over 30 and have had three normal Pap tests in a row, it’s acceptable to ask your healthcare provider if you can dial back and get the test done just once every five years, combined with an HPV screening....

The running back is listed as questionable to return with a chest injury after being sent to the sideline by a brutal third-quarter hit. Jones suffered the injury on a forced fumble by Buccaneers defensive back Jordan Whitehead that was recovered by Tampa Bay linebacker Devin White. The fumble was the second of the game for Jones; the first was recovered by Green Bay tight end Robert Tonyan. The lost fumble led to another Buccaneers touchdown, which gave Tampa Bay a commanding 28-10 lead in the third quarter....

Judge, the Yankees’ towering right fielder, has burst onto the scene in 2017 with booming home runs and highlight-reel defensive plays. Conforto started the season on the bench before an injury to Yoenis Cespedes opened the door for consistent playing time, and he has thrived in an everyday role.

But who has actually been the better slugger thus far? Who hits the ball harder? Heading into Wednesday’s game vs. the Mets, Sanchez had outhomered Judge 41-40 to begin their respective careers. Both players had exactly 592 career plate appearances. Though they had the same number of PAs, Sanchez had more at-bats (521 to 488). This is due in large part to Judge’s higher walk rate —16.6 percent to 9....

So even if there are more chances for him to reach the Super Bowl with the Packers, beyond Sunday’s NFC championship game against the Buccaneers, there will not be many more. Whether that number is closer to one or closer to five, though, what matters most is the one at hand. He has been the Pack’s starting quarterback for 13 seasons. Nine of those seasons ended in the Pro Bowl....

An excerpt of the book was recently released to the media that claimed when Rodgers first met Favre, he called him “Grandpa.” According to those who tell the story, Rodgers’ remark didn’t sit well with the veteran quarterback, and was the start of a bad relationship.

The previously one-win Lions pulled off the biggest NFL upset in 2015 so far with Sunday’s 18-16 escape from Lambeau Field.

A drag across the middle for a big gainer here, a skinny post against single coverage there. Wake me up when the fun starts. What’s that? Rodgers now has the most passing yards for a QB in his first 100 starts in NFL history because of a 60-yard bomb to Nelson? Hey, what else is new? Oh, Nelson now has the most touchdowns of 40 yards or more at home in NFL history?...
