Associated PressWASHINGTON — Women should start getting every-other-year mammograms at age 40 instead of waiting until 50, according to a draft recommendation from a federal task force.The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has long said women can choose to start breast cancer screening as young as 40, with a stronger recommendation that they get the X-ray exams every two years from age 50 through 74.Tuesday’s update -– if the draft proposal is finalized -– would mark a shift in the influential panel’s guidelines although it’s not likely to end confusion.

He was freed later that day. Now in his mid-20s, Timmons is re-entering society as a man with no convictions on his record, despite spending virtually his entire adulthood behind bars.“I believe he was the Contra Costa jail’s longest resident when he was released,” Timmons’ attorney, Howard Williams, said in a Tuesday interview. “He’s just a victim of the legal morass that kept him there for so long.”Timmons defense during trial was simple: the August 2015 murder of 66-year-old Carl Roberts was not Timmons’ doing, but the work of his co-defendant, A...
