NEW YORK — For years, women have been urged to get screened for breast cancer because the earlier it’s found, the better. Now researchers are reporting more evidence suggesting that’s not always the case. A study in Norway estimates that between 15 and 25 percent of breast cancers found by mammograms wouldn’t have caused any problems during a woman’s lifetime, but these tumors were being treated anyway. Once detected, early tumors are surgically removed and sometimes treated with radiation or chemotherapy because there’s no certain way to figure out which ones may be dangerous and which are harmless.

I feel like it was such a short time ago I was anxiously writing about spring gardening, it is hard to believe we have made it to December and true winter is just a few weeks away. Despite the bitter cold, howling winds, and difficult travel — OK, I will stop — undoubtedly the brightest time of the winter is the holidays. Otherwise dark streets by night are illuminated and transformed by decorative lights in all colors, doorways are bedecked in greenery and ribbon, and trees shine from inside packed to the gills with family mementos. While I do love the freedom of summer warmth, my absolute favorite time of the year is December. This special time of year is made even more special by using natural materials in your décor. As soon as I was old enough to hijack my family holidays, I pawned the cumbersome, dusty artificial off on a family friend and proclaimed we would only have real trees from this point on.

LONDON — Thousands more police officers flooded London streets Tuesday in a bid to end Britain’s worst rioting in a generation as nervous shopkeepers closed early and some residents stood guard to protect their neighborhoods. An eerie calm prevailed in the city, but unrest spread across central and northern England on a fourth night of violence driven by poor, diverse and brazen crowds of young people.
