Negron-Almodovaris a survivor Ofthe Pulse nightclub tragedywho works tO create safe spaces for the LGBTQ + and Latinx community in CentraI FIorida So why are measures like closing background-check loophole s and limit- ing high-c 叩 acity magazines not already law? lt's partly because a small but ⅲ - tense group Of gun-rights advocates op- pose them. A paltry 3 % 0f households own half of all 0f the guns in America, and they vote. lt is they wh0 argue most vocally that if existing gun-control laws can't stop mass shootings, why would new laws be any better? Change might make people feel good, this argument goes, but it wouldn't protect Americans. "Short ofa total ban on firearms, nothing being suggested would have st0Pljed this kind 0f shooting," says Dudley Brown, president Ofthe National Association for Gun Rights, ofthe Vegas massacre. ln one sense, history supports that argument. ln 2004 , Bill Clinton's ban on semiautomatic rifles, known as assault weapons, expired. But rather than spiking back up, the rate 0f gun homicides con- tinued to drop. From 1993 t0 2014 , that rate declined from seven firearm-related homicides per 100 , 000 Americans tO half that, according tO the Centers for Disease Control and prevention. Gun-rights ad- vocates used that as an example Of gun- control laws not working. ln truth, Clin- ton's "ban ” was so んⅡ ofloopholes no one believed it had been responsible for much ofthe decline in firearm-related deaths in the first place. But it is less logic than political fear that has thwarted the passage 0f even modest gun-control measures. AS the NRA and like-minded groups have be- come expert at harnessing a relatively small group 0f uncompromising gun- rights advocates, politicians fear being targeted in their next election. The com- bination Of money and motivation has been powerful. SO fierce was the NRA's opposition t0 Hillary Clinton lastyear that 1 in 8 ads on the air in OhiO was on guns; that ratio was 1 in 9 in North Carolina. Trump won bOth states. "The source Of the NRA's power is not simply money, says Adam Winkler, a law professor at UCLA and author of Gunfight: The Bat- tle Over the Right tO BearArms inAmenca. "The NRA's power comes from the ability tO swing voters in tight, close elections. There are a 10t Of single-issue, pro-gun voters out there that listen tO the NRNs recommendation. ” And, in the space Of gun-rights groups, the NRA is considered one Of the more moderate voices. That power opened the door t0 ex- pand gun rights on the state level. After 2004 , while advocates for limits on guns atte mpted t0 fight their way back on a federal assault-weapons bans, gun- rights groups were pushing t0 unravel restrictions elsewhere. At the state level, concealed-carry laws were loosened or abolished at a rapid clip. Many states started accepting the gun-license stan- dards oftheir counterparts, Often regard- less 0f whether they were more lax than their own. ln Nevada, 38 % 0f adults own guns, private gun sales are legal, and there are no state regulations limiting magazine c 叩 acity. Even on the federal level, where there appeared t0 be a political stalemate, gun- rights advocates found ways tO make progress on the margins. ln 2010 , a gun- parts manufacturer asked the Bureau Of AlcohoI, T0bacco, Firearms and Exp10- sives (ATF) for permission tO market a "bump stock ” that when fitted tO a semi- automatic weapon would allow the single- fire device tO unleash a constant barrage ofbullets. While the sale and ownership Of machine guns have been strictly con- trolled since the 1930S and such we 叩 ons are very rare among civilians, the com- pany argued their device would benefit handicapped gun enthusiasts, and the ATF assented. Right up until Vegas , gun-rights ad- vocates were trying tO advance laws loosening gun restrictions through the Republican-led Congress.

Why more women are getting a double mastectomy By Alexandra SifferIin DESPITE HAVING MORE TREATMENT options, women With cancer ln one breast are increasingly choosing tO remove bOth breasts—even though experts say the procedure does not necessarily lead tO better outcomes. A recent study published inJAMA Sur- gery found that the increase is driven in part by their surgeons. Doctors generally discourage contralateral prophylactic mastectomy—also known as CPM, or the removal ofahealthy breastwhen the other has cancer—for women at an average riSk for additional breast cancer. They dO rec- ommend it for women at a higher risk, like those with a mutation ⅲ the BRCA gene, which greatly increases the risk 0f getting the disease. Even SO, the rate at which women With cancer in one breast chose tO remove bOth increased nearly sixfold from 1998 to 2011 , largely among younger women with early-stage unilat- eral breast cancer and without genetic risk factors—in Other words, women WhO are candidates for less aggressive treatment. Survival for these women isn't higher than it iS for women WhO choose less aggressive options like lumpectomy, also called breast-conserving surgery, ⅲ which only a portion 0f the affected breast is removed. A March 2016 study by researchers at the Duke Cancer lnsti- tute looked at about 4 , 000 women whO had breast-cancer surgery and found that removing b oth bre asts did not marke dly improve a woman's quality oflife. SO Why are women choosing the more invaslve option more Often? There are likely several reasons for what experts are calling a surge in women undergoing CPM—including a woman's doctor. The study ⅲ JAMA Surgery found that sur- geons account for 20 % Of the variation in rates Of women removing bOth breasts. ln the study, researchers surveyed 5 , 080 women with early-stage breast cancer and an average risk for cancer in the other breast, along with 377 of their surgeons. They found that while the doc- tors largely agreed on what they would initially recommend—breast-conserving surgery over CPM—there was variabil- ity ⅲ what was ultimately performed. A woman had only a 4 % chance of under- going CPM if she went 朝 a surgeon who was among those WhO were the most re- luctant tO perform the procedure and most favored breast-conserving surgery. But if a woman went tO a surgeon WhO was among those whO were the most open t0 performing CPM and favored breast-conserving surgery the least, the likelihood of getting CPM was 34 %. The most common reason surgeons gave for being willing to perform CPM, even if they were initially reluctant, was 'tO give patients peace Of mind ” and "avoid patient conflict ”—not tO reduce recurrence or improve survival. emotional reactions tO frequently prime patients tO desire the most aggressive approach' ” says study au- thor Dr. Steven Katz, a professor in the School ofPublic HeaIth at the University ofMichigan. "Our results underscore that most surgeons tOday favor less aggressive approaches t0 surgery, and it's challeng- ing for them tO communicate with their patients that bigger is not better. ” ln previous research, Katz found that a woman's fear about cancer recurrence or her desire tO avoid regret can also lead tO a decision between her and her doctor tO choose more aggressive surgery,. Since there is variability in what doctors ultimately agree tO perform, women may want tO consider visiting more than one doctor before deciding on a treatment plan, Katz says. His research shows that 95 % ofbreast-cancer patients are treated by the first physician they see. "lf a patient is not totally in line with what's being recommended, get a second opinion; ” he says. ロ 3 Drop in breast-cancer death rates from 1989 to 2015 ; 322 , 600 breast-cancer deaths were averted during that period 897 lncrease in the rate at which women with cancer in one breast chose double mastectomy from 1998 tO 2011 SIXFOLD lncrease in the rate at which women with cancer in one breast chose double mastectomy from 1998 tO 2011 H 0 W C 0 M M 0 N ー S B R E A S T C A N C E R ?

TheView BOOK IN BRIEF that accounts for the bulk ofthe NCAA's revenue, fetch more than $ 700 million annually. lt's little wonder there was an opening for the kinds ofpayoffs and kickbacks detailed by the feds. Among the allegations: an Adidas em- ployee and representatives Of sports-management and investment-services companies funneled $ 100 , 000 tO a top high schOOl recruit in exchange for his commitment tO attend the University Of Louisville and sign with Adidas and work with the companies in question once he turned pro. After the news was made public, Louisville placed head coach Rick Pitino, whose success on the court has lately been overshadowed by negative headlines 0 仕 of it, on administrative le ave. ( Pitino denied any knowledge 0f the accusations. ) The complaint also accused Auburn associate head coach Chuck Person, a former NBA player, ofaccepting a bribe tO steer one Ofhis players tO a financial adviser as a client. ()n attorney for person declined comment. ) That coaches and others in a position oftrust would prey on younger people ⅲ their care is a shame. But the current system, which allows maJOr institutions tO reap large profits from the unpaid labor ofstudents, should not escape judgment. "I can imagine this alternative universe Where pay- ing players is legal and above the table and coaches wouldn't have had to lie; ” says Nathaniel Grow, a professor ofbusiness law and ethics at lndiana University's Kelley Sch0010f Business. Even the language used by U. S. attorney Kim shows how e asy it is t0 fall into the NCAA's linguistic trap. HOW, exactly, iS an athlete receiving $ 100 , 000 in exchange for his services being "exploited"? lsn't enriched ” a more appropriate descriptor? The consequences Of the investigation could ripple far beyond the basketball court. lfthe tip line gets as much inbound traffc as many observers expect and more players are found tO have received payments—in violation Ofthe NCAA's restrictions on compensating the athletes that fans pay to see—the NCAA will be forced to punish Louisville and perhaps dozens 0f 0ther top programs. Sch01arship s will be strippe d, denying opportunitie s tO future student- athletes and potentially hurting low-reve nue sports that are subsidized by big-time hoops. Some Ofthe housecleaning tO come iS necessary. Top-tier college basketball has long been a bit ofa cesspool, filled with too slick coaches and hangers- on with their hands out. StiII, the game can be a force for good. Many athletes take their studies seri- ously. They learn to lead and manage their time and benefit from the experience throughout their lives. These athletes deserve to be fairly compensated for their labor, through a system that is legal, clean and transparent. Anything less will ensure that the cur- rent criminal investigation won't be the last. 16 TIME October 16 , 2017 How hidden factors drive what we think ARE YOU REALLY IN CONTROL OF YOUR own mind? NOt exactly, argue S cognitive psychologist J0hn Bargh, whose new book, Before You Know れ , explores the unconscious factors that influence hOW we think—and act. Consider a study Bargh and his colleagues performed in which participants were told t0 hold either a hOt or cold cup ofcoffee before assessing five personality traits Of a fictional character. Thos e who held the hot coffee found the character more likable, suggesting JOHN BARGH, PHD that merely being hOt or cold can influence ourjudgment. ()r consider another study, in which participants were asked tO rate different kinds Of strawberryjam, either by their gut reaction or by careful deliberation. More Often than not, the gut reactions correlated with the better-qualityjams. "The unconscious can lead us astray if we are not aware Of itS influence; Bargh writes, "but remember, it evolved and exists because it helped us tO survive and tO thrive.
