Shoe-Stealing Cat Burglar Actually Dresses Like a Cat
By Joe Peacock - AOL News(June 29) -- There's a cat burglar preying on New York City shoe stores. She's not a cat burglar so much for the style and grace with which she pulls off her heists. It's more because of the dinky Halloween-style cat mask she wears while stealing her ill-gotten wares. And that story isn't weird enough to lead my column today on its own. But the police sketch released for this woman makes this story a must-share. Show everyone you know. Share it on Facebook. Tweet it out. The world must see this picture. The fate of several shoes depends on it. Let's hope this woman is caught so someone with ...
Sebelius to Insurer WellPoint: Stop Dropping Breast Cancer Patients
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyDepartment of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has asked insurance giant WellPoint to stop its reported practice of canceling coverage for patients recently diagnosed with breast cancer. In a letter to WellPoint's CEO, Sebelius wrote she was "surprised and disappointed" to learn from a Reuters investigation that the Indiana-based company has "specifically targeted women with breast cancer for aggressive investigation with intent to cancel their policies." "As you know, the practice described in this article will soon be illegal," Sebelius wrote to CEO Angela Braly. "The ...
Video of Phil and Amy Mickelson's Masters Kiss Pushes Tiger Aside
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyTiger Woods is a fine golfer with some personal problems, and that's all I have to say about Mr. Woods. Except for the schadenfraude enthusiasts, who no doubt relished Tiger's 4th-place finish at the 2010 Masters Tournament in Augusta, Ga., on Sunday all eyes were turned to winner Phil Mickelson and his wife Amy. For 11 months Amy Mickelson has battled breast cancer. She had not been on any golf course since her diagnosis last May, and she was in bed most of the week in Augusta leading up to the tournament. ...

Diet, Exercise Touted in Fight Against Breast Cancer
By Katie Drummond - AOL News(March 25) -- Lifestyle changes, rather than better screening, are going to be the key to curbing breast cancer rates, a panel of experts told a conference in Barcelona, Spain, today. "What can be achieved with screening has been achieved. We can't do much more," Carlo La Vecchia, head of epidemiology at the University of Milan, told The Associated Press. In fact, the panel concluded, one-third of breast cancer cases in Western countries could be prevented if women ate more nutritiously and got more exercise. Discussing lifestyle factors as causative elements in breast cancer diagnosis ...

Great Facebook Bra Debate: Success or 'Slacktivism'?
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Jan. 8) – Broadcasting the color of your bra to your friends and colleagues is not typical or even acceptable behavior for most women, yet that's precisely what thousands of female Facebook users were doing this week, ostensibly to raise awareness of breast cancer. Logging on to the world's most popular social network beginning midweek, it was common to see status updates from women users that read a variety of colors, from black to white, pink, red, nude or, more cryptically, "none." What could the girls be up to this time? male users collectively wondered. That's because, as is often ...
Study: Pomegranates May Help Fight Breast Cancer
By Lauren Frayer - AOL News(Jan. 6) -- The antioxidant-boosting pomegranate just got a boost of its own: U.S. researchers say that on top of all its other health benefits, the ancient fruit fights breast cancer as well. A rare compound found in pomegranates, ellagic acid, helps stop the growth of hormone-fed cancer cells, according to a study published in the January issue of Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. It does so by inhibiting aromatase, an enzyme that converts androgen to estrogen -- the female hormone that helps certain tumors grow. Without that ...
Teresa Heinz Says She's Fighting Breast Cancer
By not in system - AOL NewsBOSTON (Dec. 23) -- Teresa Heinz says she is being treated for breast cancer discovered through mammography and argues that younger women should continue undergoing the tests despite a federal panel's recent recommendation to reduce their frequency. The 71-year-old wife of the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. John Kerry, of Massachusetts, told The Associated Press that the cost of mammography is far lower than the physical and personal tolls women ages 40 to 60 face if their cancer goes undetected early and they later have to be treated with aggressive chemotherapy. "Chemotherapy ...
