Melanoma is the least common form of skin cancer but the most lethal. It has few treatments. It causes about 60,000 new cases of skin cancer each year, just 4 percent of all skin-cancer cases diagnosed. But it is responsible for more than half of all skin-cancer deaths annually–about 8,000. And while survival rates have steadily increased for melonomas detected early, it is an extremely challenging disease to treat in late stages....

Up to 70% of those currently diagnosed with the condition are female. There actually are two reasons for this disparity. More women than men actually have celiac disease, but women also are more likely to seek help from healthcare professionals for their health problems, and so are more likely to get diagnosed with celiac disease. The fact that many women experience non-gastrointestinal symptoms of celiac disease before other symptoms appear, has been borne out by research....
“Thoughtful”–the first word out of top aide Karen Hughes’s mouth this morning on NBC’s “Today” show–is a nice adjective to apply to a president. It’s one that has not often been used in the same sentence as George W. Bush, known more for his years as an indifferent student, unworldly businessman and the governor who cut his deliberation over Texas death-penalty cases from half an hour to 15 minutes. As president, Bush has yet to hold a press conference where he showed deep command of the issues or intellectual range....
After a 129-120 overtime loss to the Nets at TD Garden on Tuesday, Smart unleashed his fury on a referee and had to be escorted off the floor while aggressively pointing and yelling in the ref’s direction. It doesn’t take an expert lip reader to understand Smart was not sharing kind words.

“Mostly (we celebrated) the win, it was a big game for us,” forward Jae Crowder said. “We knew those guys would come in and play hard. Pretty much celebrating the win more than the seeding.” Surely, they watched Monday night as the Cavaliers were picked apart by the Spurs, which pushed the Celtics into the top seed in the East. But even that was unlikely to move Boston off its professed lack of concern about postseason seeding....
Despite holding the East’s No. 1 seed, the Celtics (35-15) have struggled throughout the month of January. Boston enters the Pepsi Center having lost five of its last six games. In the 109-105 loss to Golden State, All-Stars Kyrie Irving and Al Horford combined for 52 points, but the Celtics could not overcome 49 points from All-Star guard Stephen Curry. The Celtics will be without guard Marcus Smart again in Denver; he was sent home prior to the loss at Golden State and will miss an extended period of time due to hand lacerations sustained in a non-basketball injury....

With that being said, learning any language after a certain age is far more challenging than doing so when you are young....

Somehow, Tottenham pulled off a victory nearly as improbable as Liverpool managed just 24 hours earlier, Moura scoring all three goals in the second half of their game at Johan Cruijff Arena to rescue Spurs from a 3-0 aggregate deficit and advance them, on the basis of away goals, to the UEFA Champions League final June 1 against LFC in Madrid....
