Keep the ice chest in the shade at the campsite. If ice from the cooler has melted and the food doesntfeel cold, throw it out.

The study involved an evaluation of mammogram readings from 2,169 women by 24 radiolMists in a community clinic practice from the years at 1985 to 1993, which gave time for follow-u- p studies ofthe patients. The study analysed the rate of false positive interpretations by the doctors, then related that to the experience and training ofthe radiologists and to the age and other characteristics of the women patients. The study found that the fhlse positive rate ranged from 2.6 percent to 15.9 percent But whan this rate was adjusted for the effect ofpatient characteristics, such as age, the rate dropped to 3.5 percent to 7.9 percent Age affects the false positive rate because breast tissue is denser in younger women.
