Education Is 'Key' To Closing Gap In Breast Cancer Mortality, Opinion Piece Says

"Breast cancer is not, and should not be, a death sentence for women, regardless of the color of their skin, insurance status or income," Karen Burns White, deputy associate director of the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center Initiative to Eliminate Cancer Disparities, writes in a Boston-Bay State Banner opinion piece. "But in order for us to close the gaps in our health care system, we must first understand the causes of these health disparities and then devise solutions," she adds.

White writes that it is a "disturbing reality" that "women who come from a racial and ethnic minority group, and low-income women with little or no health insurance, are less likely to get screened, more likely to be diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer, and therefore more likely to die" from the disease.

Stormmy Paul: businessman, smuggler, 'renegade Indian'

Stormmy Paul's home clings to the eastern edge of the Tulalip Indian Reservation. Smoke from his weekly campfire drifts over the reservation's border with Marysville, across the imaginary place on the road where drivers suddenly realize they've left one world for another.

On Wednesday afternoons, Stormmy, a Tulalip Indian, piles black lava rocks in the center of a fire pit and coaxes kindling into hot flames. He gathers the rocks himself from the slopes around Mount St. Helens.

As the rocks start glowing red, cars pull up Stormmy's driveway. Soon, a group of men huddles around the fire. All but one are white.

They've come to sweat in a lodge Stormmy built years ago out of twisted vine maple.

They've come to spend time with Stormmy, the Indian.

Fashionista taps your inner Stacy

Forget Anna Wintour. Stacy London may be the most feared woman in fashion.

London has become famous for the sharp critiques she gives makeover subjects on The Learning Channel's "What Not to Wear." She doesn't bat an eye when a person's entire wardrobe is tossed into The Learning Channel show's famous trash can and defies anyone who will tell her that 4-inch heels are uncomfortable.

London also has some fashion advice for those who are planning to see her presentation at the upcoming Women's Expo in Denver. "You're on notice," she said in a phone interview. "Don't wear white aerobic sneakers."

London, who was an assistant at Vogue and the senior fashion editor at Mademoiselle, says the pursuit of personal style is more than chasing trends. "There is something delightfully superficial yet surprisingly emotionally rewarding about looking good," she says.
