According to the World Health Organization, there are 500,000 cases of cervical cancer and 250,000 women die from it each year. India is especially susceptible to the disease because pap smears are not available. It's the number one cancer killer of women there. However there has been a recent discovery of a very low-tech way to screen for cervical cancer, and it has been one of the top five studies presented at the meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago. Swabbing a woman's cervix with vinegar can apparently show abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix within one minute. "Within just one minute, the person administering the test - using the naked eye and a light - can see if there are abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix; abnormal cells turn white, because the acid in the vinegar makes protein in the nucleus of the abnormal cells coagulate and become easily visible."
Central Kitsap High School staff didn't allow Brittany Minder into the Prom because of her large chest. She came to the event in a strapless gown and was told that she needed to cover her over the top cleavage. She felt humiliated and her prom night was ruined. Minder's parents want a public apology, because their daughter was singled out because of her physique. "All women are not created equal, and you cannot compare a gold ball to a grapefruit. It ain't gonna happen" said Kim Minder, Brittany's mom to KOMO-TV.

Okay, we all remember being confused on tests in school right? Sometimes you just want to write something in hopes of getting partial credit. Other kids choose to be total A-holes and push their teacher's limits, may be some of them really thought they were right. I'd be concerned in that case. Let's just take a look at these self explanatory, inappropriate and hilarious test answers.
Jj O'Brien Nolan, a Facebook user, posted a picture of an unidentified Taco Bell employee licking a stack of taco shells, to Taco Bell's official Facebook page. He posted this statement with the image "This sure says a lot about your employees, food treatment and what they post on the internet." The horrifying pic has taken off fast and is circulating all over internet. I can imagine the fear and frustration of the chain. Rob Poetsch, a Taco Bell spokesman, told the Daily News that the taco shells were never served to customers. "They were used for training only and in process of being thrown out, however, two employees took and posted this photo on their personal pages against policy," Poetsch said. What kind of training are they conducting with the food I wonder? He also claimed that they are conducting an investigation, and will take the appropriate actions when they find who did this. This kind of pictures make me realize once again that cooking at home is the best choice!
