I dialed my lunch dates on my cell phone and one of them confirmed that hunch: the congressional Sergeant at Arms had issued new guidelines for handling suspicious mail.

A lot of fans, however, will be skeptical that a Witcher game could work at all without Geralt as the protagonist. The big question hanging over the franchise’s future is whether The Witcher’s world can stand up by itself, or whether Geralt was a uniquely compelling character to see it through.

What to Consider Before Upgrading RAM If you intend to use a faster memory module in your computer, here’s a summary of things to consider before purchasing and installing it: The memory must be of the same standard (DDR3 and DDR4 aren’t cross-compatible).

But is this a good thing? Only if the cancer screenings that result from these check-ups “the study focused on screening for breast, prostate and colon cancer “are themselves worthwhile. That’s the rub: for a number of cancers, the impact of cancer screening on reducing cancer mortality remains very much unproved. Last year, another study threw cold water on the popular prostate specific antigen (PSA) test for prostate cancer: published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, it found that PSA screening doesn’t improve a man’s chance of surviving prostate cancer....
