PC Mid-Week Portal: Women's Health

I've gotten some feedback regarding the nature of some of my posts. When I don't have time to write a full column I will simply find a newsworthy article and post it with a paragraph or two summarizing my thoughts. I do this for one because I'm trying to keep the content of my blog fresh by posting daily. The other reason is that when I see something in the news worth noting I want to post it. However, from what I've been told via comment and by those in my personal life that frequent my blog is that the average reader is more interested in my op-eds than my attempts as a news editor/virtual anchor. That said, what I've decided to do for both editorial reasons as well as personal (see wife) is to limit fresh content to full articles as I did at the top of the week. Mid-week I will utilize as a thematic semi-portal, simply linking a few stories without posting the content of the articles that I think are newsworthy. Or I will ditch the portal if there are no newsworthy themes and just write a shorter article. The last change is actually as the kids would say, a remix. I will go back to reserving Fridays as a book review day. Even though I am no longer working for PopandPolitics.com, I still have a voracious appetite for books and have read several since I was summarily fired. In addition, I've been commissioned by Simon and Schuster to review one of their new books as well as few others via 411Mania.com. So Friday will be book review day once again. This weeks review will most likely be "Showdown" by Jed Babbin & Edward Timperlake. That's all for now.

This weeks mid-week theme is women's health. Here are a few stories I that I think you should all know about:
