There was an estimated 41,200 deaths in 2000 due to breast cancer. It consisted of 40, 800 women and 400 men. However, during 1992-1996, mortality rate has declined. This can be explained by some who say it is due to early detection and improved treatment. Similarly, I agree with these some. [...]

Thuy Nguyen: Thanks for the compliments! Of course girls are welcome to join but the group is more or less focused on targeting the African American male population because they are more at risk to have STDS and not get checked.

Since my project revolves around high school youth reading the newspaper, I think an appropriate logo would be, “Newspaper Night: Bringing the News into the Light”. I think this is a great logo because first of all, the youth group meets on Wednesday evenings, so that is where the ‘night’ comes in. Also, [...]
