i was only 19 when i had my first abnormal pap. it was found when i was pregnant, and by the time it was biopsied, it had already turned into advanced displasia. i think any women who listen to these "experts" are putting their lives in someone else's hands.

While I don't believe in ANYTHING going through the House/Senate re: healthcare, even the Canadian system has its own problems with "Universal Healthcare." Check out this insanity: http://bit.ly/8hWgN9 - Hopefully this isn't just another insurance gimmic (mammograms) like the link is.

I was 46 years old when a mammogram caught my cancer. I have 4 daughter who better get theirs. Insurance companies, like credit card companies will never care more about the public than their own pockets and will use this to deny coverage.

In addition to genetic material associated with North American swine flu, the strain has gene segments associated with European and Asian swine flu, North American avian flu and human flu. That's how it's different. The only way to know if you have it is to be specifically tested for it.

I road with POL ESE in Orlando and Tampa and while flying F16s in Iraq, I embed with Marines and I cant tell the difference between Some hoods here and the terrorists there. I have never looked over my shoulder for Al Quada when at the ATM at 11pm...but I looked out for 50cent wantabees. Cure black crime and you cure crime. 98 % of murders in 2008 like this in Orlando were from black repeat criminals. FACT

I think one needs to get to know individuals for who they are without "grouping" them. I mean, if I were to see Sherry Ray or Tammie Fields behind me at an ATM (both Black) I would probably rush to hug & high-five both of them. Can't say that for the White reporters & WX people in town. I think your remarks are patently unfair to the vast majority ... Read Moreof Blacks who aren't repeat criminals, or even criminals. Are there problems in the Black community? You bet. But last I heard Debra LeFave, John Couey, and other famous Florida criminals weren't Black.

Bobby Blish, not only Detroit, but even South St. Pete, and that would be scary! I personally go to Hillsborough County only when I have to. The few parts that aren't a 3rd world country have impossible parking or paid parking. Channelside STILL owes me $4.00 from when I watched a movie there and the parking garage ripped me off, and in time they've probably lost $100's in my business when all they would have to do is just give me my $4.00 back.

Jim Patton

I sure hope he is telling the truth if not he is not helping the image of the Marine Corps. If he is such a strong man why did he need a tire iron to control the priest, is that what they teach in boot camp?

hey Jim ... there are no rules in fighting especially when it comes to defending or protecting yourself. you gotta pick up a stick ... pick up a stick. if a tire iron happens to be the closest thing, i too would grab it and chase the man away.

btw .. the Priest is 250 lbs. the Marine being charged is just at 215 (if i remember correctly) ... so clearly the Priest had some weight on the Marine.

what i'm interested in is why the Priest is refusing to press charges. is it because he may actually be the guilty party? seeing as where this alleged groping took place happens to be about 2 blocks from a known area where random gay men meet up to have "relations"? ... Read More

and according to the Priest he wandered away from Westshore and got lost. how do you get lost in the Westshore area and wind up all the way over in Channelside? and specifically in a very secure parking garage in Channelside?

i'm starting to think this Priest is more shady than meets the eye and not actually the victim in all of this.
